Friday's thoughts

Yesterday I had a blast! I spent the afternoon with the Lake Hills Church Downtown team. They are an amazing group full of talent, motivation, and a strong willingness to learn and improve. A total blast of fresh air!

Imagine what the marketplace would look like if every team mirrored Lake Hills Downtown? For starters, there would be no recession or down-turns; that is for sure...

Some interesting things I learned and thought about:
  • Understanding time and time management is one of my top 3 most critical elements in success. Those that get time management dominate. In my opinion, we can't spend enough on understanding and improving time. What are you doing to get better at maximizing your time? If nothing, then you just don't get it...because this is something you can never master.
  • Power of a Team. When nobody cares who gets the credit, amazing things can happen. Easy to say but I almost never see it in action.
  • ROIR....return on investment relationally! Nothing more important than relationships. But are we intentionally growing our relationships? For most, the answer is no...Today, set a plan to grow relationships...it's the best time you can spend.
  • I love creative people. Just go talk to creative folks and you automatically start to think different. Very cool...

Mark my words on this prediction: Lake Hills Downtown is going to make a huge difference in Austin and beyond. I have been doing this long enough to know when you can see high performance in work...as long as they continue to want to improve and stay hungry, the sky is the limit! Great to see God at work....

Look at those 4 bullet points and give yourself some analysis...where are you at?
