Section Two: Self-leadership

You might be saying, as quoted from the below article, well this leadership stuff doesn’t apply to me…so now we’re going to talk about self-leadership; as said in the below article, without leading yourself first, how can you effectively lead your life. How can you take care of your family and children if you aren’t taking care yourself? How can you expect to lead others to help you achieve the results you want from your business, if you aren’t setting the example? Most importantly, how can you lead and live the life you deserve? Thus, you're highly appreciated to read the article published by Derek Lauber:

Eight Core Principles of Self-Leadership:

1. Embody your Brilliant Obsession:
Embodying your purpose and your grand vision for your life and business or the deep why and what you want for your life is crucial to your success. By knowing precisely what your Brilliant Obsession (Google said: 輝煌的癡迷…..) is you can more easily accomplish your goals, objectives and desired future. And on the flip side if you are fuzzy or unclear on what’s most important to your life and business, how can you expect anyone around you to fully support you in achieving it?

2. Be responsible and accountable for your actions and reactions:
Take ownership of your decisions, actions and outcomes. You are in a position of power. Playing the blame game is easy and there is no place for it in your life. You always have a choice in how you react to any situation.

3. Develop self-awareness in all areas of your life:
Get to know your habits, the good and the bad. Understand your underlying beliefs and behaviors. Know which ones are strengths, which ones are challenges and which ones sabotage your Brilliant Obsession.

4. Cultivate Emotional Intelligence (EQ):
This ties right in with self-awareness and is crucial to all of your interactions. When you learn to manage and regulate your emotions you increase your confidence, you communicate with more passion and your relationships are more fulfilling.

5. Be financially responsible:
You know money plays a huge role in your life and, if you allow, money can dictate many of your actions or inactions. Understanding your personal finances and knowing how they interplay with your business and life is crucial to self-leadership and success.

6. Be physically healthy:
Diet and physical fitness impact every emotion, thought, action and outcome. What you put in your body and your level of activity directly affects your brain chemistry and energy which determines your moods, energy and the ability to get important work done, spend time with your kids and do the things you love to do.

7. Create goals, systems and habits to succeed:
Without goals, systems and habits, you are nothing but a rudderless ship (沒有船舵、失去方向、漫無目的 船隻) afloat in the ocean of life. To be successful, you must establish goals, systems and habits which move you forward. You must break bad habits and instill great habits. And you must use systems that push you out of your comfort zone towards your Brilliant Obsession.

8. Take Right Action:
Take focused action immediately and effectively to get the powerful results which move you towards your goals. Always take action that results in getting things “to done” or implemented. And execute on the work which moves you and your business forward the fastest.
