I think a good quote for this event would be; "If you don't know what you want - you already have it." I used to be in great shape about 5 years ago. I could run a 5 minute mile and I could bench 225 lbs. I got in shape to not be fat, but I didn't realize WHY until was out of shape again. Now I miss a few thgings that I had when I was in shape. Those things are the WHY. The reason why I will get in shape and stay that way next time will be because of the energy that I will have. It will be because of that way I feel and how I feel about myself.
Leadership Developement is the same concept. There are steps to take when learning to become a good leader. You have to start somewhere and you have to know what you want and when you want it. I tell my kids all the time; "A goal without a deadline is just a dream, so go back to sleep." If you learn to think like a leader you will become one.
Think about this... If you could see into the future and you saw that you were a millionare, would you do the things that it would take you to get that?
