John C. Maxwell Quotes About Goals

Quotes about: Goals

It inspires and attracts people, shows them you have conviction and goals, that you are focused and determined. And the commitment that is based on values will endure.

We are working together to fulfill the vision. Without them, I cannot succeed. Without me, they cannot succeed. We're a team. We reach our goals together. We need each other. If we didn't, then one of us is in the wrong place.

When you look around and see people who are the captains of their ship, invariably they have taken pains to chart their successful course through life.
