"People don't buy what you do, but why you do it."
"The goal is not just to sell to people who need what you have.
The goal is to sell to people who believe what you believe."

Do you communicate your dream to your students, parents and the others around you?
Do you tell your kids what you "have for them" or what you believe?
Simon Sinek in TED Talks: How great leaders inspire action

"The early majority will not try something until someone else has tried it first."

Then they won't be showing up for us or their parents or because society says they must, but for themselves!
"Martin Luther King gave the 'I have a dream speech', not the I have a plan speech. "
So ... set aside taking 15 minutes of planning time every day to work out what you believe. Transform yourself from being "the leader" in your class by becoming someone others want to follow.
