More Than More

Value Time, More Than Money and Possessions

Value time, more than money and possessions. You can get more money, land, possessions and opportunities. But you can't get this moment back. The time that passes belongs to death, every moment spent is being purchased with your life. Spend it well and spend it intentionally so that one day you can reflect on your investment with a smile rather than regret.

Join Dylan as he talks to Anna Culbertson, Director of Agent Services, about her work as the conduit between the front stage and back stage and why both are so essential to our organization.

Define What Success Means to You

Define what success means to you. Success can only be achieved when your definition of success is your own, you must be self-determined. Being successful at someone else's vision of your life is a losing proposition. Know what matters to you. Be clear about what you value and hold dear. Determine what your version of a life well-lived looks like and then set out to accomplish it. Measure only against your self-determined reference points. Play your game and don't be distracted by the crowd - most of them have no clue where they're headed.

Never Be Overheard Complaining

Never be overheard complaining, not even to yourself. Complaints are for losers; complaints solve nothing. Focus on what you're going to do. Focus on the good in a situation or choose to move on. But don't allow yourself to complain.
