Are you facing any uncertainty? The space of a lack of clarity can be hard to manage: Once the decision has landed, it 's easy! 1: Identify the Endgame, 2: Map out the Milestones and 3: Chart the course of action. 4: Get on with Getting on. Mix in a measure of flexibility, consistency and persistence and results are inevitable. Well, that 's my experience, anyway. The sticky bit is wandering the maze of indecision, weighing up opportunities, exploring options from every angle, teasing out the dead ends from the possible pathways.

Unwavering Courage
Part of what was holding me back from making the decision I knew needed to be made, was hiding out, holding fear before gratitude. It is not possible to do what one is on this planet to do, to make a great difference to others - playing small and hiding out.

8. Sympathy & Understanding
First understand yourself and your issues, and have sympathy and ownership for the complete package of YOU. This creates the authentic capacity to have sympathy and understanding for others.
9 Mastery of Detail
Pay attention, with intention to every aspect of self leadership. You 're "on" all the time: collecting the kids from school, doing the shopping (or delegating it!), reading, researching, spending time with loved ones, working ... "on" is all the time as a leader. I have an "on" anchor to remind me to play full out. Your time is now.
10. Willingness to Assume full Responsibility
Napoleon Hill refers to a leader taking full responsibility the mistakes of followers. In terms of self leadership, there is the necessary accountability and ownership for what is mine. This is simply being at cause: taking full responsibility with sheer honesty for
