What kind of Leader are you?
I believe that the Maxwell style
of leadership is most similar to my own characteristics because I have always
prided myself on being a direct and truthful person. In the film industry, it
is very rare to come across individuals who possess those qualities with good
intent. In personal relationships, those close to me can attest to the fact
that I will never sugarcoat a situation, but will always be honest with my
response. Also, I believe that it is imperative
to surround yourself with different types of people and those that challenge
your thoughts. If you are constantly involved with yes people it could hinder
your judgment and allow you to become complacent which are not the best traits
for a leader. I do feel that confidence and humility are important qualities
that I have developed, that has equipped me to overcome struggles and overlook
distractions. In the entertainment industry, some may lose themselves in the
stardom and fame. Personally, I know that I am confident in myself and I have
never let the judgment of others depict my growth. Since I was a younger, I
always had a vision of being successful in the entertainment industry as an
actress or film producer. Even then, I knew that it was my responsibility to create
and follow my own destiny. As an adult, I know that my goal is not to live
forever, but to create something that will be everlasting. I believe that the
only way that you can truly be fulfilled successfully is by leaving a legacy
for others to continue. I have dreams of building an empire within the film
industry where the people working for me have a sense of pride in themselves
and the work that they do. Individuals that hold the qualities of a Maxwell
leader build foundations with their employees and equip them to become effective
leaders. I proudly categorize myself as an Maxwell leader, and I only hope to capture the attention of viewers worldwide through my work and to be able to lead other future leaders whom possess similar qualities.

Procrastinate or Pay up?
Many would say that the generation today is label as the
technology driven generation. I like to think of it as the entrepreneurial and
dream-driven generation. A lot of people are making it their business to start
taking full advantage of life and beginning to follow his or her dreams. Unfortunately,
with all the distractions in the world slowing people down from achieving their
hearts desires. One of the major distractions seems to be social media. While
people try to study, complete homework, or read a book; subconsciously we get
lost in our phones, Ipad, Instagram, Facebook and etc. Time seems to just slip away
from us , this then leads into the common phrases; “I will finish it later, or
I will have time tomorrow” in other words; PROCRASNIATION.
This dream driven and entrepreneurial generation seems to
continue to be innovative nonetheless.
My question for you is what if every time you
procrastinated, missed a deadline or gave up on pursuing a goal do you think
you would have completed it on time or finished it, if there was a supplemental
incentive or payout?
If you answer yes, today is your lucky day an entrepreneur’s
new site invents procrastinators to pay ransom for their bad habits. This is a
website which offers a creative service that will appeal to the
productivity-hungry, to-do list savvy individuals. The site is names Go F!#%ing Do it; a site in which you either achieve your
goals and complete your to-do task or you literally pay for it! Though you will have to publicly share what your task,
dream, or goal is. I know that people are likely to succeed when they have others
keeping tabs. It’s a sense of self-accountability, I believe. Think about it, no one
wants others to see or know that they have fail; it’s not the American way.
I am pretty sure there is some study out there in the world,
that shows; people would rather complete a task if it means keeping money in
their pocket. I believe this because, I am thinking of my self, I much rather
work harder to finish something I have set my mind to, instead of losing money
that I worked hard for. Especially for a task or something that I could have been
properly planned out, prioritized and successfully completed. Like my self and
many of us today we finds ourselves so busy and tied up with “everything”, when
in actuality it turns out to be us simply doing a whole lot of nothing, we’re
just moving at a fast pace, which gives the illusions that we’re super busy. John Lennon said, “That life
happens when you are making other plans.” This site could definitely prosper if
marketed correctly, because the perception of what productivity really is has
been misconstrued. A lot of times, we get claim being productive as an
accomplishment, when really being effectively productive is what will lead us to happiness. Being happy allows person(s) a more
free, open-minded and optimistic view on life. Allowing one to productively
fulfilling the steps to achieving one’s dreams and heart desires. However, this
journey all begins with us taking on self-accountability and eliminating
procrastination.
