Connect with Derek at www.derekfisher.com A few quotes from this episode: Being a good leader isn't about being the best player. Great team members don't compete against their teammates. They contribute to winning together. Success is fleeting. It's not a final destination. If you want to have a winning team, you have to be a connected team. Many teams that win and then don't win again, it's because they become disconnected. It doesn't matter if you excel but your team loses. Stop chasing everyone opinion of what success should look like for you. Chase your success. You don't think of mistakes and failures as opportunities when they are happening but God uses them to better us and help us to become who we were created to be. Everybody goes through struggle. It's the struggle that makes us stronger (if we let it). Success is helping others grow.
