In this episode, Dean Newlund and Rex Afrasiabi discuss:Learning leadership principles from sportsTimely advice for business ownersA lack of motivation due to uncertaintyKeeping yourself from burning out Key Takeaways:Have a clear objective, have a plan, and have the right people around you, and you’ll find success in whatever you want to do.Growth starts with visualizing your ideal destination. Work backward from the goal. Every significant result starts with a small idea.The pandemic halted many people’s plans, and many lost their drive and motivation because of the uncertainty they had to face. Realign yourself to what motivated you at the start.Set boundaries, let others know when your work is over and be firm and stable with it. When you let people know when you’ll be off, and until what time you’ll be available, you might find that people will respect that. "Have a balanced lifestyle. Don’t just work non-stop because you’ll burn out; no one can do that and maintain that… you need to realign yourself, focus on what you wanted at the start." — Rex Afrasiabi.
