“The Energy Bus”

10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy

(Jon Gordon)

I, along with the entire John L. Scott Executive team, was introduced to this book a few years ago by our CEO, Lennox Scott.

For me then; and even more so today, need to find ways to create positive energy for ourselves both personally and professionally.

Below are the “10 Principles/Rules”.  I hope they resonate for you as they have for me since being introduced to the book. As I write this message, I realize that everything we do in life is driven by energy and what type of energy we are feeling can have a direct impact on the outcome. I hope you find the time to jot down your thoughts down under each point.

1. You’re the driver of your bus.
2. Desire, vision, and focus move your bus in the right direction.
3. Fuel your ride with positive energy.
4. Invite people on your bus and share your vision for the road ahead.
5. Don’t waste your energy on those who don’t get on the bus.
6. Post a sign that says NO ENERGY NAMPIERS ALLOWED on your bus.
7. Enthusiasm attracts more passengers and energizes them during the ride.
8. Love your passengers.
9. Drive with purpose.
10. Have fun and enjoy the ride.

Ken Blanchard (co-author of The One Minute Manager® and Leading at a Higher Level) wrote “are you going to be a positive thinker or a negative thinker? Jon’s energy and advice will leap off the page and help you cultivate positive energy in everything you do, and you will make the world a better place for your having been here.”

Ok, many of you that have read my messages over the years knows that I love to share what I hope brings value and is relevant today. We all know the value of a positive mindset and how hard that can be sometimes to manage. We are in the business to help people with one of the most important decisions in their lives. How we show up can make a huge impact on their overall success of relocating.

I am honored to be able to share with you a little something that could make a difference and help your bus move in the right direction.
