Create a bullet-proof devotional routine . Know how to say no . Read often and wide . Work on your marriage , and work to be healthy .
• Prioritize : Spend five minutes a day prioritizing . Assess and choose priorities for the next day so you begin with clarity . Don ’ t waste your energy on unimportant issues .
• Follow-up : Be a follow-up specialist . Pay attention to details and follow through .
• Recognition : Bless others by recognition . Encourage others on their journey .
• Objectives : Set reasonable objectives , and you will get better buy in .
• Leadership : Be a servant leader . Leaders inspire others to greatness . We must help everyone connect .
• Thank You : Take a daily “ thank you walk ” and share a word of encouragement daily with at least five people .
• No Energy Vampires : Spend time with people who give you energy and charge your battery .
• Purpose : Adrian Rogers said , “ We don ’ t get burned out because of what we do ; we get burned out because we forget why we do it .”
• Team : Be a team player . When you help your team improve , you improve . There is no “ I ” in team .
• Service : You don ’ t have to be great to serve , but you have to serve to be great . Adrian Rogers also said , “ You will never be over until you learn to be under .”
• No Complaining : There is no complaining in Kingdom education . If you are complaining , you are not leading .
• Get To : Focus on “ get to ” versus “ have to .” Focus on what you get to do , not what you have to do . Life is a gift , not an obligation .
• Failure : Failure is refinement . The next time you fail , remember that it ’ s not meant to define you . It ’ s meant to refine you .
May these principles that drive word of mouth , encourage excellent customer service , and develop effective leadership assist you in “ telling the story ” to engage all stakeholders in Kingdom Marketing and lead them to take faithful action in building the Kingdom of God . ■
