💥 Quotes 💥

💥 “If your default is, I'm going to be kind. Secondly, I'm going to be grateful no matter what the circumstance. And thirdly, I'm going to look for ways to be of service. You set yourself up for a pretty good day.” - Chester Elton

💥 “A great thing leaders to focus on is not just what's good for your business, but what's good for your community and what's good for your people.” - Chester Elton

💥 “It's so much easier to forgive other people than it is to forgive ourselves.” - Chester Elton

💥 “You make a mistake. You and you will hold onto that. You will grip it like in a vise. Right? You know, make your inner voice your best friend, because it allows you to forgive yourself. And, boy, that burden comes off you and frees you up to move forward.” - Chester Elton

💥 “Perfectionism is a real problem, particularly in the earlier generation, because I'll look at a project and if I don't think I can be perfect, I might not even start. So again, as leaders tamp down that expectation and say, Look, here's what I need. And sometimes good is good enough.” - Chester Elton

💥 “We're all kind of playing with the same deck. We're all suffering from the same things. And isn't it great that we can move together? It's okay to make mistakes. It's okay to take time off. I'm here for you. And as you said so beautifully before. You're not alone.” - Chester Elton
