4 Areas for Success from John Maxwell
- Relationships – how to get along with people
- Equipping – supporting others strengths
- Attitude – overcoming adversity; pushing through struggle and failure
- Leadership – the ability to lead and influence people
That began his journey into personal development of himself and others. I identify very much with his mission:
“My passion in life is growing and equipping others to do remarkable things and lead significant and fulfilled lives.”
“There’s no greater mission for me. There’s no higher goal than to help others realize their significance and potential.”
~John Maxwell, speaker, pastor, author b.2/20/1947
