John C Maxwell - The Laws of Growth (1)

let's get acquainted let's get

acquainted my name is John on the count

of three give me your name one two three

nice to meet you

Marlon I've been married for 45 years we

have two children we have five

grandchildren most of you are way too

young to know this but grandchildren are

God's gift to you for not killing your

children are there any grandparents out

there your that just raise your hands

you know something the rest of these

people here don't know and that is that

when you have your first grandchild I

mean this is amazing

you hold that little baby in your arms

you say this is the smartest most

beautiful baby ever born and then you

ask yourself a question why did

intelligence skip a generation

[Laughter]

I was speaking in a large convention and

I said that and I forgot that my son

Joel was in the audience and he met me

at the greenroom when I was done

speaking and as soon as I saw him I said

Joel honey you know near that story of

grandchildren and intelligence giving

generation you know I was just kidding

and he smiled he said it's okay dad it's

okay

but you said I think you're right

[Laughter]

I said you do he says yeah he says I

think you're right

he said just last week grandpa and I had

that very same discussion oh it's good

to be with you it really is I've just

I've been delighted ever since they said

that I would have this opportunity

because I really want to pour into your

life I want to add value to you and and

and your very valuable and your very

important and I want to give you my very

best and I just so let me just say a

couple of things so I can get launched

into what I want to teach on the 15 laws

of growth people ask me all the time

about books that will help them really

develop themselves and really help

themselves grow and I'm going to teach a

few of the laws probably three or four

of the of the 15 laws of growth but I

want to encourage you if you don't have

that book I'm going to give you a couple

books you need to get that'll just help

establish you it in this in in this area

and help you be successful and what is

the 15 loss of growth if you don't have

it I want you to get it okay that's the

Bible on personal development growth

it's not only phenomenal for you but it

will help you grow the people that you

lead and I'm going to teach three or

four of those laws here in a moment

but that's that's a book that I think

it's just essential for your for your

development for your growth the second

book is one that just literally came out

two weeks ago and I'm so excited about

it called good leaders ask great

questions now I'm going to tell you and

I know they have I signed books for

about an hour this morning and I know

they have it here or they did have it

here at least because I signed a lot of

those they have the 15 volts or growth

here I know they have the mother's books

here and I just want to I just want to

encourage if you don't have them get

them and the reason for that is the the

good leaders ask great questions this

this book I'm so excited about because

let me just say that questions the kind

of questions you ask are the key that

unlocked the door of opportunity in your

life if I have three hours I could just

give you question

that I have asked that have dead

literally worth millions of dollars to

me

I mean questions that if I would have

never asked the questions I would have

never had the opportunity and I would

have never gone down that trail and what

I find is too many people when they lead

they give direction and they cast vision

but they don't ask great questions and

so this book teaches you great questions

to ask okay in fact I'm gonna give you

one okay just go give you one why would

I give you any more you got to get the

book but I'm gonna I'm gonna give you

one and this one is so good that this

one's gonna unlock all kind of doors of

opportunity for you trust me I I mean

this is gonna unlock a lot of doors in

fact look at your neighbor and say to

them the question John going to give us

is pure gold go ahead and tell them that

I'm gonna give you a question yeah yeah

are you ready to receive some gold hey

hey hey hey hey come on it come on back

your truck up come on back your truck up

I'm about to dump some gold in it okay

I'm gonna

come on back to that track up I've gotta

have it you got a big truck here huh I'm

gonna dumps it in fact just look at your

neighbor and say John's going to dump

gold on you yeah he is he's got it he's

gonna drop dump gold on you right now I

get back to track up are you ready this

question is so good

I'm not sure you have a big enough truck

but this is so good I have asked this

question hundreds of times it is open

dozens and dozens of doors for me this

is just one of the hundreds of questions

I have in the book just one and when I

give you this one you're going to say

this is soap whenever you see someone in

whenever you see somebody that you just

really like and connect with and they

have some element of success in their

life ask this question who do you know

that I should know I told you I told you

I told you it's stinking good and huh

that's just I mean who do you know that

I should know

that's just that's just one that ate

that question has given me opportunities

to meet people that are off the charts

in the area of success

my number one mentor my number one

mentor my life John Wooden UCLA the the

top coat the top coach of the 20th

century I literally asked a I asked a

schoolteacher one day who do you know

that I should know and he looked at me

he said I know John Wooden would you

like to know him I said yes I would take

me to him he took me to him and I

developed this incredible mentoring

relationship with him he taught me so

much in this last few years of his life

who do you know that you good leaders

ask great questions you got the title

that book look at your neighbor and say

get that book immediately telling that

get that book at me okay you are a very

smart audience you're very quick you're

very sharp and I'm going to I'm going to

give you out of the 15 laws of growth

I'm going to give you at least three

laws in the time that I'm given and and

so I'm going to even give them to you in

what I would consider maybe the ones

that are the most essential for you to

have under your belt there are 15 laws

but I'm going to give you I'm gonna give

you at least three right now okay so

you're about to learn something look

look at your neighbor look at your

neighbor and say you're going to learn

something go ahead and tell me you're

going to learn something

look look right back at your neighbor

and say and it's about time

[Laughter]

in fact look at your neighbor and say

why do you think I brought you here

hello you see if I could step off this

stage if I could come off the stage and

I and I could come down to where you are

and I could have a one-on-one

conversation just with you just you and

me having a one-on-one conversation

there are two questions I would ask you

and these two questions I would ask you

are absolutely essential to your success

in this business question number one

what are you doing to develop yourself

in other words what are you doing to

grow you because the only way that you

can grow the business is to grow you so

the first person that you work on the

first person you grow the first person

that you develop is you what are you

doing to develop yourself what are you

doing to grow yourself that's the first

question I want to ask you if you and I

could have a conversation just

one-on-one the second question that I

would ask you is what are you doing to

develop others what are you doing to

grow the people around you what are you

doing to develop your team

how are you growing your team I have a

couple friends that are in your business

I'm day in jail and I met them backstage

and and they had their team together and

they've only been with you just a few

months and they're just loving this

company they're just loving the

opportunity and they had their team with

them and and they used to be a part of

an organization that I had that I had

founded and so it was so good I hadn't

seen him for years and they had their

team back there and they were so excited

and I took a picture with him and and on

day I looked at me she said John she

said we're gonna grow this team just

like you taught us how to connect a

something your your personal growth and

your ability to grow yourself is

essential to your success it's essential

to your success you cannot grow it your

team any greater than you can grow

yourself it will only be as big as you

and so the laws of growth are just

absolutely essential you've got to get

them they're law

they're not good ideas they're not

principles they're laws a law is higher

than a principle a law works in every

culture a law works with both genders a

law works regardless of the time the

laws that I gave you worked 500 years

ago the laws that I gave you will work

five hundred years from now their laws

their law this is huge I started writing

laws when I wrote the 21 irrefutable

also of leadership and then I wrote the

seventeen walls of teamwork and now it's

the 15 loss of personal growth and

they're all lost I remember a guy coming

up to me on the only 21 laws of

leadership and he I was signing books he

looked he looked at me he said Johnnie

said I I disagree with one of your laws

and I'm siding the book and I said

that's okay

sign the book can hand it back to him he

didn't move he said I looked up at him

he said you didn't understand he said I

disagree with one of your laws and I

smiled and I said it's okay and then I

could tell that it wasn't okay with him

that it was okay with me and I said no

no it's okay and he still won't move he

said no he said one of your loss I just
