Growing as a leader is terrific because that means we are also growing in our effectiveness and earning ability. With that growth there is a price....
1. Leaders get tested at each stage of growth.
2. The leaders goal is to pass these tests as fast as possible.
3. The testing will always come before the leader gets to advance.
4 The advance is getting to a higher level of effectiveness. Each higher level will take sacrifice but it is nothing compared to what is gained.
As we go through these "tests" we are like a weight lifter that loses the fat and gains the muscle with each painful step forward. Through these steps we lose the old self, the self that condemns, questions, and carries a low self-esteem. And we become the glorious, confident, incredible person we were meant to be.
