Following John Maxwell's Rule of Five

A friend of mine posted something very inspiration but like the saying goes "People remember how you make them feel" I totally forgot what the message said BUT I remember how it made me feel.  The message made me feel empowered!

So I decided to look into this John Maxwell person. 

POW!!

This is what I found "John Maxwell's Rule of Five"

It was the best hour of my life!!  Here are his Rule of Five:

• Lead – We lead ourselves and our business to fulfill our purpose.
• Grow – We grow ourselves and our business to achieve our potential.
• Create – We create world-class leadership resources and experiences.
• Excel – We chase excellence in all we do.
• Serve – We serve our clients, colleagues and community

John stated he does the following every day since he was 17:

1. Every day I read.
2. Every day I file.
3. Every day I ask questions.
4. Every day I think.
5. Every day I write.

The part that resonated with me is that in order to be an expert of any subject I have to read about it for one hour a day.  In about five years, I will be an expert.

What do I want to be an expert on?  Real Estate.  From land, to construction, to buying, to selling, to wholesale, to leasing, etc.  I should be an expert on multi-family real estate but even though I have worked in this industry for seven years, I am not passionate about it and I should be.  Better yet, I will be!

I am in the search for my own Rule of Five.  Do you know what your Rule of Five are?
