Episode notes
Good Is A Stepping Stone To Great
- John Maxwell says good should be a stepping stone on the path to great, not the endpoint.
- Success often breeds complacency, turning good into a false arrival that halts growth.
Don’t Live In Or Live Off The Past
- Maxwell argues success satisfies needs and tempts us to 'live in' and 'live off' the past.
- That mindset stops improvement, so treat success as momentum, not a finish line.
Use Success As Momentum
- Use your success as a stepping stone, not a pedestal, to keep progressing.
- Keep improving every day instead of building fences to protect past wins.
