How to Ignite the Fire Inside of You
“Managers light a fire under people. Leaders light a fire in people.”
— Kathy Austin
Earlier this year, I finished an entire yellow junior legal pad worth of notes from the books I’ve listened to over a couple of months.
The ENTIRE THING has notes.
I had to look it up to find out how many pages that is.
That’s about 50 pages of content.
That I wrote.
That blows my mind! It’s like a short Kindle book worth of information. It’s filled with some incredible stuff that has changed my life and paradigm over the last two months.
It’s got notes from over a dozen books I’ve listened to over the last few months, including Crucial Conversations, 4-Hour Workweek, and Crushing It!
Squeezing out the last bit of space to write the last notes that filled it up, I remembered a recent experience that terrified me.
I was rummaging through an old desk in the house, cleaning it up to have a solid space to dedicate to writing. I found an old, dusty, and very similar looking (and similarly full) legal pad, only it wasn’t my handwriting.
It was the handwriting of someone I know very well.
