Michael Nichols
Author, Creating Your Business Vision
Guidestone University

Realizations Michael had after dealing with his own overwhelm:

  1. I could give more
  2. I can grow on purpose
  3. Every leader needs help

“Your employer will soon forget the long hours that you spent at work, but your children will never forget the memory making moments.” -Michael Nichols

The Five Phases (video) (PDF) that Michael articulates in this episode to conquer overwhelm:

  1. Purpose
  2. Path
  3. Plan
  4. Prepare
  5. People

The four things leaders are typically interested in getting better at:

  • Improving income/revenue
  • Leadership skills development
  • Becoming more effective/efficient
  • Leading better through change

Michael mentioned the Personal Life Plan Guide and The SIMPLE One-Page Business Plan as resources, as well as the Guidestone Executive Retreat Center.
