When difficult times happen in life or in leadership, it can be tempting to want to give up instead of keep going. That’s why on today’s episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, we’re starting a brand new two-part series on overcoming instead of being overcome. In today’s lesson, John C. Maxwell shares four R’s that people who give up are usually beat up by so that you can recognize those things in your leadership and work towards overcoming them!  After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to discuss what they have learned and give you helpful advice on how you can apply it to your own life and leadership.  Key takeaways:  The most important lessons I’ve ever learned are out of my mistakes in life.  You have to take control of what you can control.  If you add value to those above you, that’ll take care of the resentment problem. If you add value to those below you, that’ll take care of the pride problem.  Our BONUS resource for this series is the Overcoming Instead of Being Overcome Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Overcome and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”  Take the next step in your growth journey and become a Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Member. Click here to speak with a Program Advisor today!  References:  Watch this episode on YouTube!  Get the FREE Mind Mastery Playbook: A 4-Step Process to Turn Overwhelm, Doubt, and Stress Into Growth and Momentum!  Join the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team  Sign up for the Maxwell Leadership Growth Plan  Shop the Maxwell Leadership Online Store
