Day 11 – I am seeking common ground, so I can take others to higher ground. John Maxwell talks about this in several of his books. You can’t just lead people and expect them to follow. Level 1 Leaders expect people to follow because they ‘Have To’. Level 2 Leaders develop ‘Relationships’ with their teams and their teams begin to follow because they ‘Want To’. Relations are the foundation for building common ground. That may mean taking a moment on the trip to check the map, get their input into which trail to take, and confirm that the mountain you are climbing is the mountain everybody else is climbing. That’s good, … we are all on the same mountain, the same common ground. Together, with a team that wants to grow and go… you will begin to achieve amazing ‘Results’… and the next level of Leadership.

Day 10 – I am aware that it is not the mountain, but the process of climbing… There are days when we just want to quit because we have not made it to the top of the mountain yet. Those are the days we must remember it is not the mountain, but the process of climbing the mountain that counts. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Sometimes we get so focused on success and failure that we don’t see that we are growing and learning everyday as we climb. We need to think into it… Climbing without reflection is wasted climbing. We’re simply out for a walk. One of things that I fight, is taking time to reflect. No, not just thinking about the journey, but really reflecting on what worked and did not work. Taking notes, and not repeating the things that did not work. When I do not do that, I find myself walking in circles. Yes, I am expending a lot of energy, but I am not going anywhere. I think it was Roddy who said, “it takes the same amount of gravity to hold an elephant on the ground as it does an ant.” It takes the same about of energy to walk in circles as it does to go to the next level. Make the climb count by focusing on the process. Forget about the mountain and grow from the journey. I am aware that it is not the mountain, but the process of climbing… Subscribe to the MT2Leadership newsletter - http://eepurl.com/cSfOy5 http://mt2leadership.com/blog/ . . . #MT2Leadership #CoachMarshall #Wisdom #Veterans #Knowledge& #JohnMaxwell #MarshallTownsendII2 #motivation #entrepreneur #empowerment #Mentor #leadership #commander #teambuilding #teamwork #coach #passion #transformation #creative #athletes #thinkbig #bodybuilding #workout #workoutmotivation #workouttime #USArmy #faith #newbeginnings #TurningPoint #awareness (at Meridian, Idaho)

Day 9 – I am traveling with Uphill Stuff… You can look at a picture and see many things. You can see a team, working together to overcome obstacles. You can see ‘power-down’ leadership in action. You can also take a whole different look… A few days ago, I talked about getting stuck in basecamp and trapped by Campfire people. Paul Martinelli says, “Stuck Stinks” True; not only does “Stuck Stink”…, “Stuck Sticks.” I look at the picture and I see a group of people weighted down, in search of their next Campfire. When we broke camp and started up the tail again, what did we bring in our backpacks? Did we bring the old ideas, habits, and beliefs that caused us to seek safety around the fire the first time? Are we simply moving from one Campfire to the next Campfire? Are we stuck in Campfire mode, with Campfire people, with Campfire dreams… and Campfire stuff? What is in our backpack that we can drop alongside the trail that is weighing us down? I know, I know, it’s good stuff. Stuff that you want to show everybody when you get to the top. How much of it is just Campfire stories and things. Uphill people do want to hear your Campfire stories or see your Campfire stuff. Sorry… Time to drop the excess baggage and travel in search of uphill stories, ideas, habits, and beliefs. Uphill stuff is something worth sharing… and it does not weight as much!

#MarshallTownsend2Leadership - My Dad always said not to over complicate the simple things. I have come to realize that I get the best shave from an old time razor, just like the one my Dad had, and it is a lot less expensive. The art of shaving with a brush and shaving soap is also a throw back to simpler times. All cool and stuff - but what does it mean? I have seen businesses that over complicated the simple. Training calendars, customer tracking, meeting notes, how they handle leads and it goes on and on. They have built a complicated systems that is normally handled by that “one-person” that can make it all happen - but nobody else can make it work. It is often the life blood of the company and it is blocked in a system that will not let it flow... sometimes a simple white board, and analog calendar, and the ability for your organization to have a common operating picture is what is needed. The digital age needs to take some lessons from the “good-old-day” and kept it simple and effective - #RockSteady #CoachMarshall . . #MT2Leadership #accountability #Wisdom #Veterans #Knowledge #JohnMaxwell #MarshallTownsendII #motivation #entrepreneur #empowerment #Mentor #leadership #teambuilding #teamwork #coach #passion #transformation #creative #athletes #thinkbig #bodybuilding #workout #workoutmotivation #workouttime #USArmy #MilitaryTransition #simple (at Meridian, Idaho)

We carry our life-experiences with us everyday. Those experiences carry weight. How we let the weight effect us is up to us. The weight can build us up, shape us up, and take us up. Or, we can let our experiences weigh us down, slow us down, or tear us down. The choice is up to us. Up or Down - do our experiences grow us or diminish us - choose to put the weight to work and build up, shape up, go up! . . . . #MT2Leadership #CoachMarshall #Wisdom #Veterans #Knowledge #JohnMaxwellTeam #JMTeam #MarshallTownsendII #motivation #entrepreneur #empowerment #Mentor #leadership #teambuilding #teamwork #coach #passion #transformation #creative #athletes #thinkbig #bodybuilding #workout #workoutmotivation #workout-time #USArmy #newbeginnings #idaho #lifecoaching (at Meridian, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6HAxKpJUxA/?igshid=qslny443mwjx
