Rotary Shares 5 useful tips to insure your club's success!
Cut to the Chase
(excerpts from Cut To The Chase by Stuart Levine)
Define your purpose. Remain focused so as conditions change you know your true north.
Know your world. Recognize what motivates people and more important know yourself. Understand your organization.
Concentrate. Shut out distractions. Do not let your time be stolen, focus so you can shut out distractions.
Just start. If you have a good idea do not wait, lead by example and with enthusiasm. Delays only allow shadows to arise, momentum is often everthing.
Do not hide your passion. When your club members sense your enthusiasm. It is contagious, if you are stirring others to action get them excited about your goals. You will be surprised at the results.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WEEKLY COMMUNICATION TO ANYONE YOU THINK WILL BENEFIT FROM THE INFORMATION.
