Alignment Preceeds Assignment

Do alignments and key relationships REALLY matter as it relates to creating a life and business you love?

For 12 years of my career, I had the privilege of being on a national speaking tour with some of the world’s most famous and influential leaders of our time. One of my favorite leaders to share the stage with was American statesman and retired four-star general of the United States, Mr. Colin Powell.

On the topic of alignment and who you associate yourself with, Mr. Powell once said, “”The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity, as well.”

Powell went on to say, “Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.”

These are powerful words and as you listen to today’s Secret Sauce, ask yourself if you have aligned yourself with the team of people that will get you to the ultimate victory in life?
