Over the last few days God has very much convicted me about my growth as a leader.  The biggest thing I see is my lack of focus.  I am always in the middle of about a million things and because that I focus on very little.

As we are popping 1,000 people a week in attendance I have to focus on fewer things where I can focus on a certain things.  Right now I am laser focused on leadership growth.  I need to grow as a leader, I need to equip our staff to grow as leaders, and I need to be around other leaders.

Because of that I am saying NO to a lot more things.  I have cut my blogs back to 25 MUST read ministry blogs and I am going to add 10 business/leadership blogs to the mix.  I am going to spend at least an hour a day reading books that will enable me to grow as a leader.  I am reorganizing the way we do meetings at Revolution where I can be a better steward of our staff’s time. I am going to spend once a month meeting one on one with pastors who are pastoring a church of at least 2500 people.   I am cutting out on some online forums I participate in.  I am learning towards shutting down my facebook account because it is a distraction.  I am going to have Taylor filter my meetings and phone calls even more than we already do.

These things will enable me to get the most out of the time I have.  On top of all that, I am putting people in my life to keep me accountable to make sure I am doing these things.

I refuse to be the bottleneck in our church growing.
