Lessons on Leadership & Mindset

It’s the middle of the week. For a lot of people, this is when the energy levels start to sag and the workload increases, making it very easy to just “get through the week” without any real intention or focus. But as John Maxwell reminds us, “You cannot give what you do not have. To lead others well, you must first lead yourself well.”

Here are 3 principles from John Maxwell to get you into the right work and business mindset:

✅ 1 The Law of the Lid

Your leadership ability sets the cap on what you can achieve. To grow your business or advance your career, you must first lift your personal lid, make sure to invest in your learning, mindset, and skills.

💡 Midweek Action: Spend 15 minutes today to learn something new. Stretch your comfort zone.

✅ 2 The Law of Priorities

Being busy does not mean you are productive or effective. Focus on what matters.

💡 Midweek Action: Identify the 3 priorities that have the biggest impact on your goals.

✅ 3 The Law of Momentum (The Big Mo)

💡 Wednesday Initiative: Make one daring, forward-thinking move to advance your business or work today.

💭 Self-leadership is necessary in every endeavor. Control yourself and you can manage anything.

Over the years, I’ve faced challenges from different roles—whether in financial services, sales leadership, or building partnerships. These diverse experiences shaped my mindset to stay grounded, adapt quickly, and lead with purpose even in uncertain times. Challenges will always come, but the right perspective will keep you moving forward.

👉 Question for you: Which of these three principles do you need the most this week?
