This is my second time attending the Maximum Impact simulcast at our church’s conference
facility here in
various aspects of being a leader. Just one of the many points from John Maxwell that really hits home is that you must lead yourself exceptionally well. I need to lead myself with integrity and possess excellent self-management if I expect to impact others. Who would follow someone who obviously can’t or won’t manage themselves? My actions must be in line with my intentions and my intentions must be focused on helping others. I think it’s called being congruent.
The financial talk by Dave Ramsey was very insightful. He asserts that we all know what to do when it comes to sound financial practices, it’s our behavior that’s the issue. We frequently don’t behave in a way that aligns with our knowledge. There’s that congruence thing again! He had five simple steps and you know them already.
- Live on less than you make
- Get out of debt.
- Get on a budget.
- Save some money
- Give / Tithe – we’re designed to do it.
See, you knew all that didn’t you? It’s just our behavior that we need to get in line.
