The Person in the Mirror: Your Most Important Employee

There is a person staring back at you in the mirror every morning. Have you ever stopped to consider that this individual is, in fact, your most important employee? You are the employer of your own life, and that face looking back at you is the one who depends on your leadership, your discipline, and your ability to provide the tools necessary for success. If you were running a company, would you tolerate laziness, indecision, or self-sabotage from your most crucial worker? Absolutely not. So why do you tolerate it in yourself? This is a call to action: You must take this responsibility seriously. Your livelihood, your family’s well-being, and your future depend on the person in the mirror. You owe them your highest level of commitment, effort, and discipline. You must manage them like a great leader would manage their most valuable employee—with clarity, fairness, and relentless pursuit of improvement. Wayne Weathersby
