Meet Joy… Meet George…
“The Bus Driver” “The Business Man”
![Page 4: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“Everything happens for a reason, you can choose to
ignore it or ask what the reason is and learn from it.”
“Are you living a success story or a soap opera? It’s your choice.”
(Regarding her father with Alzheimer's)…“Everyone one of us has got challenges. Everyone who comes on this bus has
problems. It’s a part of life. I’m just another person on this bus with a problem. WE ARE ALL EQUAL.”
She calls George “Sugar”.

Breaks went out (he threw away the note from manufacturer). If he would have kept driving likely would have resulted in an accident.
“Great another inconvenience”.
(Son asked him to play basketball)
“No (shouted)! It’s not the
weekend.”
(wife asked if he tried the spare)
“Of course you’d bring that up. I
never got it fixed.”
5 month old puppy greeted George by jumping and slobbering all over him
“Why did we get that dog anyway?”

Suppose Joy and George parachute into your town to sell for a day?
Who do you want on your team?
![Page 7: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Which is easier?
Getting attention?
Making a sale?
![Page 8: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• If someone is interested, can you make a sale without energy?
• Can you get consistently get people interested without energy?
![Page 9: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If sales is a complex formula, what is the first variable?

Back to George…
How had his lack of energy impacted his life?

1. You’re the driver of your bus
![Page 12: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When do most people die?
![Page 13: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How important is choice?
Why do we what we do?
![Page 14: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why do people change?
They have to!They want
to!
Which one has more staying power?
![Page 15: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Who can choose our energy?
![Page 16: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The bus, not driven by choice, will always break down!
![Page 18: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“If we don’t take responsibility for our
lives and control of our bus, then we cannot take
it where we want it to go!”

Advice from Joy…“Don’t let the world create you, you create your world.”
(1)My vision for my life (including my health) is
(2)My vision for my work, career, job and team is
(3)My vision for my relationship with my family is

The universe is made of energy…
How do we mobilize the
energy to create the life that we want?
![Page 22: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

If we don’t’ have a vision of where we want to go, how will we ever get
there?
![Page 24: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When do most people think about life and what
they want?
![Page 25: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Why do we wait for things to fall apart before thinking about our
life and what we want?
![Page 26: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Sometimes we have to see what we don’t want, to know what we do want.”

Negative Thoughts…
![Page 32: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why?
![Page 33: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What do these people want out of work?
![Page 34: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
100% of these people haven’t figured out
how to connect their work to a purpose!
![Page 35: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

E + P = 0(events) (perception) (outcome)
“It’s how we choose to deal with the events in our life that
determines everything”

Two dogs inside of me…
VS
which one will win?
![Page 39: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

What can cause us to lose momentum?
![Page 41: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
We stop feeding the positive dog!
WHY?
![Page 42: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Let’s feed our positive dog…
PLEASE, PLEASE walk around for TEN minutes saying out loud reasons that
you’re THANKFUL!!
![Page 43: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Do you know why golf is addicting?
![Page 44: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Think about this relative to our work.
Think about objections.
Can I yell “movie” in a crowded firehouse?.
Why do we park on
driveways?
![Page 45: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
When we start…
6 months later…
Without PURPOSE, this is inevitable!!!

Who do we need to share our vision with?
Why?

“There will always be negativity everywhere and in everything you do.
You will always be surrounded by negative people. It’s not these people
so much. It’s the negativity they represent. That negativity is inside all
of us. It’s why we must feed the positive dog.”
![Page 54: Leadership Development December 2015 (4)](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f379d71a28ab54038b45b5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

“When we feel good, everyone around us feels
good”

“Too many people try to please others and this only makes them
unhappy! Better to focus on feeling good & letting this feeling and happiness shine on others.
When you feel good, you give them POWER. When you feel
bad and try to feel good by pleasing others you give away
your power.”

Study of 95 yr olds…• Reflect more. Enjoy more
moments. More sunrises and sunsets, more moments of joy.
• Take more risks and chances. Life is to short not to go for it.
• Leave a legacy
“The best legacy that you could leave is not some building that is named after you, but rather a world
that has been impacted and touched by your presence, your joy and your positive actions.”

Life is a TEST“Every adversity helps us grow.
Negative events and people teach us what we don’t want so we can
focus our energy on what we do
want.”
