Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Billy Arcement
I believe everyone has the ability to reach their personal potential. The difficulty we run into is finding the courage and strength to do so. Many times, we just don't know how or we simply become complacent with our position. If we can discover how to ignite that spark of commitment to improve, great things can come into our life. It takes a bit of dissatisfaction to improve.
My work with clients in a consulting role is to have them gather a realistic picture of where they are, define where they want to go and then design a process to fill the gap and re-position for greatness. With individuals, my efforts are designed to have them become dreamers of what they can become. I strive to show them the path to reach their individual potential by applying action to their ideas. Nothing of any great consequence is every achieved unless the process starts with action. Wishing simply won't make it so.
I believe the rubber meets the road with leadership. When we understand the essence of great leadership skills, we can get that promotion we want, we can rid ourselves of debt, pressures, and problems that plague our daily lives by learning how to take charge and lead ourselves to higher ground.
Life can be a battle or it can be a planned journey. Those who succeed understand the difference.
