How To Turn Intentions Into Actions Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Sep 15, 2002

Once we develop a vision to rebuilding something that’s broken, then we need to have a plan to turn our intentions into actions.

Most everyone has good intentions. Some people know what actions will make dreams come true. But few people have a real road map to turn intentions into actions. That’s why life just happens to many people. I said this last week: Everybody ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up ...read more

Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 1, 2002

In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more

But I’m betting that you been around leaders who made life harder, not easier. In verse 15 will see this phrase, “The ...read more
