In today's Attainable, Brandon Dawson explains that in order to change your fortunes for the better you may need to change your thinking. And, more importantly, before you can expect to change the thinking of your team you need to be able to demonstrate you can do it for yourself.

In today's Attainable, Brandon Dawson shares the best advice he has ever received, which has been a guiding principle in his personal, professional and financial life. 

Those who can’t do can’t really teach. But those who can do can lead and show others how they change in order to create a more impactful result. First, learn to influence yourself. Be that living example. Don’t do it because you have the title of business owner. Don’t do it because you have the title of manager or director or vice president. Titles alone give you no power. They only represent your ability to either influence through your experiences and your actual intentionality with your team or through title, dictatorship. “Do it because I told you to, not because I am going to help you do it to attain a higher level of success like I’ve been able to accomplish myself.” That’s influence. You can’t grow and develop your business to the highest magnitude of impact if you can’t use your influence by example through others, challenging them to challenge themselves the same way you did as the highest example in the organization. And that

Everything rises and falls on leadership, that’s what John Maxwell says, and it is true in all we do. The true measure of leadership is influence. Your leadership effectiveness is directly relative to your ability to influence others, and it’s earned by example, not title. “If you can’t influence people, they will not follow you. And if people won’t follow you, you’re not a leader.” You have to first have the internal fortitude to influence and inspire yourself to believe higher. The higher you believe, the higher you will reach. Then once you believe at the highest levels possible, you then put the energy and effort into learning to do what you need to do in order to magnify and amplify at the highest levels possible your magnitude of impact through operational effectiveness. Change is not easy. In fact, the more you try to grow to become better at what you do, the increments become that much harder. If you can’t influence yourself to grow through trial, tribul

Today we’re talking about the law of curiosity. Growth is stimulated by asking why. The single greatest difference between curious, growing people and those who aren’t is the belief that they can learn, grow, and change. That’s it in a nutshell. Those who believe they can learn, grow, and change, and who believe it with all their heart, go out and look for solutions and look for answers for growth. “Anytime a person is answering more than asking, you can be sure that they have limited their overall growth potential.” Think about this: Have you ever dealt with someone who already had all the answers? I think we all have, haven’t we? But what happens when I already know the answer to the question? And what happens when I stop asking the question? It sounds like this: “How do I grow my business double or triple?” versus “I’m only going to grow 10%.” “How do I create million-dollar producers or providers?” versus &ld

What kind of people would you attract into your organization if you had the credibility, and reputation, for taking people who are inspired to do great things with their life, hiring them, and developing them so that they can attain a greater level of success by working with you because you took a personal interest in their development? And because you took a personal interest in their development, they took a personal interest in your business. By taking a personal interest in your business, they take a personal interest in the people you serve. They treat them like they treat their own family. Is that the type of environment you’d like to have in your business? “Do you have the belief that it is hard to hire good people? That it’s hard to find people who care? Is that your belief?” That it’s hard to get people who are inspired to do extra things that you don’t have to tell them to do? Or is it your belief that you’re going to attract high-thinking people, highly app

Gallup polls says that out of 100 million Americans, 70% of them who were surveyed in 2013 were either actively disengaged or disengaged at work. That means the core energy out of the 100 million who work, only 30% care about what they do. The question is how do you harness the power of your people to help you create an amazing organization? “It’s through doing things differently with your people. Who you surround yourself with contributes significantly to your life.” Let me tell you, if you don’t make it an absolute priority to surround yourself with the best people, with the best intentions, then it is a struggle building your business — a struggle for you and a struggle for them. And when you take two groups of people, you and your team, and you bring them together with a core purpose, a core objective, and a core agenda — which is to significantly improve the quality of each other’s lives through what you each choose to do together — that’s where

Great businesses are built with great people. No great business was ever built with mediocre people; it just doesn’t happen. So how do you move beyond where you’re at to where you want to be? The only way to do that is to start thinking different. When you think different, you do different. So the question is how do I change my thinking? How do I increase my point of references? How do I have a richer, more dynamic take on what is available to me in my life, personally, professionally, and financially? How do I inspire and gather others to help me attain that purpose? “If you want to inspire and gather others, you have to make their purpose your priority too.” I thought I was a good leader, but I learned in reflection that I was a dictator leader. I was leading by position, not by using true power. True power is influence. When you have the ability to influence others to attain a bigger, better, faster quality of life, they will love you and follow you, and they will be inspired by you

Today we’re talking about the law of curiosity. Growth is stimulated by asking why. The single greatest difference between curious, growing people and those who aren’t is the belief that they can learn, grow, and change. That’s it in a nutshell. Those who believe they can learn, grow, and change, and who believe it with all their heart, go out and look for solutions and look for answers for growth. “Anytime a person is answering more than asking, you can be sure that they have limited their overall growth potential.” Think about this: Have you ever dealt with someone who already had all the answers?

The strength of the team is impacted by its weakest link. You lose the respect of the best people you have working with you when you don’t deal properly with the worst. We have so many great examples of this. We have a business that, in Kentucky, had been in existence for 25 years. The front office person that had worked there, that runs the whole administrative team, had been there for 23 years. And she was an integral part of the business. She also happened to be the person who was the most negative. But the business owner abdicated the responsibilities of running the daily operations to this office person. Well, after struggling for many years to be able to move the business forward, even though the business owner was trying to implement much change, the bottom line was this, the front office person was the one that was resisting everything. It was also the front office person who was the most influential person in the organization because she was there every day. With the patients, th

The leader must give up to go up. What does that mean? Well, think about it. Think about when you started your business. You did everything all by yourself. You answered the phones. You unlocked your door. You made the coffee. You greeted your patients.  Well, what happens when you hire your first employee? What happens when you train them to do those things for you? As soon as you start teaching others to do the things that you do, it frees you up to do other things.  Well, if you want to move up in your organization, if you want to do and accomplish a greater magnitude of impact, the only way you could do that is by bringing others into your influence, and then influencing them to do the things that add the highest value to your organization. And the more things you give up to others to do, in your organization, the more you’re freed up to do other things are more important.  Well, leadership is the same way.  “If you want to attract people who are aligned with your organizat

Let’s talk for a second about mindsets, because I talk to hundreds of business owners every day, and they vary from being a practice owner to an entrepreneur with a billion dollar business.  “If you ever want to understand any human being, at any level– and this is business, personal, doesn’t matter– when you start a dialogue with them, listen to the kind of questions they ask.” Because that will give you full transparency into where their mind is. And what I mean by that is when I run across anybody and I say, hey, how’s your business doing? And they go, I’m struggling, because my competitors doing this, or I’m not getting what I want out of that, or this person is over here doing this, or I got a question about what’s happening over there. And they never want to talk about themselves, they’re projecting. Those people are projecting away from themselves, because they’re struggling inside. When you’re sitting acr

To establish fact and belief, you have to write out exactly what it is you want to attain. You have to feel it. You have to see it. You have to visualize the attainment of what it is you want to be intentional about creating. Then you’ll have that emotional response, and it’ll trigger the reference points in your mind to go do the things that you need to do in order to make your picture come to life. But if you don’t write something down because you don’t have a picture, and you don’t visualize it, and you don’t put any energy behind it, it does you no good. So a picture and experience in your mind creates the triggers and the reference points to allow you to get the confidence to see a bigger result. Your self-activity involved in this accomplishment is so important, because if you first need to position yourself by creating a picture, feeling what it feels like to accomplish things to move you to that picture. Say you’re hiring your first employee ever, or
