Sherwin Hughes: Never Stop Being True to Yourself [Podcast]

By Evan Johnson

• Championship leaders are those who have an influence on your life.
• The threshold of leadership today is low. Truly leadership is when you have done something inspiring and deserve a following.
• Just because someone has a large following doesn’t mean they’re a leader.
  • You need to be a positive role model to be a leader; it’s not just about the following.
• Sometimes plans work out, but the real leadership is about how you handle things when plans do not work.
• When things don’t work out, take inventory of what you have instead of feeling sad about what you might have had.
• Write down five things you want to accomplish and read it every single day.
• If you’re being true to yourself and working with your passion, do not stop.
  • People will tell you that your dreams are impossible, but you need to keep going.
