People are conditioned for complaining because everybody complains and hardly nobody compliments! But I learned that a compliment will get you far greater advantage than complaining. If you want to get results, start complimenting people around you. Start with your spouse - for the things he/she does right, your kids - for the simplest things they do, and then watch their performance level go up!
Stop complaining, start complimenting!

Do you have a $3 worth of character and integrity? Can you open your books today to show your wife, children and grandchildren and tell them, "this is how I do my business”?
We’re called to be holy. That’s what God calls us to be. And oftentimes we can confuse those things when it’s costing us money. I wonder what God could really do in our lives if we were holy, if we’re really men of integrity, if we really had the character that we portray to our colleagues and our family. He could open the floodgates and He could do things that are immeasurable compared to what you’re trying to do on the side or on the sly.
Take a personal evaluation and do better, today.

Life is about the journey. It’s not just about the pentacle. It's not just the summit, whatever that is for you. We're not spending the time, the effort and the energy with our families. Quit worrying about how long it takes you to get there. It’s called living life! It’s not all about the speed. It’s all about the relationships! Enjoy the journey!
If you scale on relationships as much as we’re trying to scale our business, you have more money than you know!

Sometimes I get more ambition than I should have and I wrestled with it. Sometimes I get over ambitious and I get disappointed when results don’t coincide with my ambition. Oftentimes when your ambition is tied to a financial goal it doesn't really scratch the itch. I want to encourage you today to embrace the tension. It is what keeps us safe. If there is no tension in your life, something is going array. Enjoy where you are presently at. Learn to be content but don’t confuse that with complacency. I recommend you get and read Seth Buechley’s book Ambition: Leading with Gratitude and hopefully it will help you have more ambition or learn to be content with your ambitiousness.
