John Maxwell Mastermind

Wanted to share with you what I learned this past 6 weeks with the John Maxwell Mastermind group. I will share one topic I learned each week.

Lesson 1: Personal Growth

If you keep learning, you will always have a future. Be intentional regarding your personal growth.

Growth means changes in your life, it is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. John Maxwell says that if you focus on your goals, you may hit goals but that doesn’t guarantee growth. But if you focus on growth, you will grow and always hit goals.

Goal Conscious

• Focus is on DESTINATION.

• MOTIVATES people.

• SEASONAL ?

• CHALLENGES people.

• When the next goal is reached, we PLATEAU.

Growth Conscious

• Focus is on the JOURNEY.

• MATURES people.

• LIFE LONG?

• CHANGES people.

• When the next goal is reached, we just KEEP GROWING.

Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Growth brings JOY which is better, deeper and more satisfying than happiness.

Benefits of consistently pursuing personal growth:

1. Greater and continued success for yourself and others

2. Unlock and achieve your full God-given potential

3. Gain the confidence and ability to invest in the people around you (discipleship)

4. Focus on developing your strengths

5. Grow in humility and self-awareness

Who you are becoming holds more importance than where you are going. The growth you experienced last week, last month or last year won’t sustain you.

Do you have a plan for personal growth?
