Field of Dreams

Application in your life:

In Field of Dreams the author, Mark Batterson explain how he interacts with a man who had the vision to start a company together. Summit Leaders
There are other important keys we can take to implement in our lives. One is a change of scenery, in other words, change of pace+change of place=change of perspective.
Your dream is more than a dream. It is a calling. Of course, someone hired you and can fire you but they didn't call you. You can't forget why you do what you do and who you do it for.
What you perceive to be a no right now may really be a not yet. When God closes a door he normally opens another.
Through extraordinary actions, decisions, and belief God can do extraordinary things all it takes is a change of perspective.

Biggest Takeaway:

Faith is taking the first step before God reveals the second step. Gratitude is thanking God after he does it while faith is thanking God before he does it. Just like Noah and the Ark, if you build it they will come. In our sense, if we build it, buy it, or love it he will come.

Quotes:

We want to grow more so we can give more.
If you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat.
If you build it he will come.

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality. Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.

Are You A Gap Filler?

What is Gap Filler You May Ask? A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them. When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps. It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

Ways To Effectively Understand People

Key Points: There are four ways developmental stages to listening and understanding people: Mimic Content=Mimicking content is easy. You just listen to the words that come out of someone's mouth and you repeat them. You're hardly even using your brain. Rephrase the Content=This time, you have put the meaning into your own words. Reflect Feeling=Now you're not paying as much attention to what they're saying as you are to the way they feel about what they are saying. Rephrase the Content and Reflect the Feeling= Include both the second and the third stage. People want to be understood. And whatever investment of time it takes to do that will bring much greater returns of time as you work from an accurate understanding of the problems and issues and from the high Emotional Bank Account that results when a person feels deeply understood. Then Seek To Be Understood: The early Greeks used these three words to contain the essence of seeking to first understa...
