Small Steps Lead To Success

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I made a promise to myself to add weight training to my exercise routine. I already had a steady schedule of cardiovascular exercises with my running. My strength game suffered.

Jim Carrey as Carl in Yes Man

That’s what Yes Man does. It takes us on a trip of constant no’s to constant yes’s to somewhere in the middle.

I loved the main message behind Yes Man. I didn’t love everything in the movie.

That’s okay. We can still learn and grow from things we don’t agree with or like.

Today, we’re going to look at the leadership lessons in Yes Man. I hope you’re ready, man!
