Leaving A Legacy – A Tribute To Dan Miller

One of my long-time online mentors was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. The cancer had already spread into his liver and bones. The prognosis was not good.

When I heard the news that Dan Miller is coming close to meeting our Lord and Savior, my heart sank. This man who has poured into thousands, if not millions, of people around the world will soon be leaving us. He’s already shuttered his podcast with a goodbye episode

Not only did he inspire me, but he introduced me to wonderful people. From Skip Prichard to Michael Hyatt, his son Kevin Miller, Jerrod Easley of Podcast Movement, Kent Julian to others… He opened my eyes to the possibility around me.

As he’s leaving this mortal plane, he’s still inspiring those who have gotten to know him over the years. He’s not bitter, angry, or frustrated. No, Dan Miller is excited about what this next stage of being brings him.

The Best Leadership Quotes From The Global Leadership Summit Special Edition

I had the pleasure of attending the Global Leadership Summit Special Edition 2023 on February 16th, which was my birthday. The Global Leadership Summit Special Edition was packed full of great content.

The lineup for this summit was fantastic. It included faith-based speakers along with those in the traditional business world. I love when summits do this because you get to hear such a diverse group of voices. You’re then able to take away what you can from the different speakers.

Who were the speakers at the Global Leadership Summit Special Edition? They were:

  • Craig Groeschel
  • Todd Henry
  • Dan Owolabi (contest winner to speak and, in my opinion, the best speaker there)
  • Robert Morris
  • Heather R. Younger
  • Jose M. Hernandez
  • Cyn Marshall

5 Tricks To Create A Consistent Writing Habit

It’s my belief that every leader should be writing. Whether it’s writing a blog like this one or writing a book, a leader who writes down his thoughts is able to touch more lives.

But a complaint that I often hear is that there’s no time to write. There’s no way I would be able to squeeze any more into my day.

While I don’t doubt your days are packed, I know you can still find time to create a consistent writing habit.

Create a consistent writing habit

Before you call me out and say that I have more time than you, let me share what my average day looks like:

6:30AM – Wake up, get ready for the office

7:30AM – Leave for the office

8:00AM – Arrive at the office and begin my day

5:00PM – Leave the office and head home

How To Create Consistent Blog Content

Probably the biggest challenge in starting a blog is the process of creating content. Especially on a consistent basis.

Common blogging wisdom tells the blog author that he has to write 3 blog posts a week. Some will even tell the person looking to start a blog that they need to create content 5 days a week.

That’s a lot of content, even at 3 times a week. Blogging this much is also a huge time commitment.

On average, writing a blog post takes me upwards of an hour. Times that by 3 or 5 or 6, depending on the amount of content I produce, and that’s almost a day’s worth of work.

But, with a system, writing consistent blog content can be easier.

Secrets To Becoming More Constistent

There are areas of my life that I’m very consistent in.

I was consistent in being their for our youth group students. I’m consistent in showing up to work. I’m consistent in my writing.

But there are areas in my life where I wish I was more consistent. I know you wish you could be more consistent in certain areas of your life as well.

That’s why I’m excited to share with you the secrets I’ve discovered on how to become more consistent.

Why Consistency Matters

There’s many reasons why consistency is an important trait to practice, especially in leadership.

People need to know that you’re going to do what you say. People want to be able to count on you. People are longing for someone who shows up.

Not only that, consistency can breed good habits for a lifetime.
