Most leaders are addicted to the "Mile Wide" hustle.
Some of the most influential people I know are doing the exact opposite.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that leadership is about the crowd, the launch, and the metrics.
We focus on the "to-do" list while our "to-be" list gathers dust.
We prioritize the event over the essence.
But here is the hard truth:
If you are leading from a place of performance, you are eventually going to burn out.
The shift from Positional Leadership to Identity-Based Leadership changes the entire game.
It’s the move from:
Activity-oriented to Relationship-oriented.
Recruiting a crowd to Reproducing a legacy.
"Doing" for a cause to "Being" with the source.
As Vance Pittman wisely notes, leadership isn’t a task to perform—it's an overflow of intimacy.
In our hyper-connected world, your greatest competitive advantage isn’t your network.
It’s your "desolate place."
It’s the non-negotiable rhythm of solitude that allows you to lead from a full cup rather than an empty ego.
When you stop trying to "wag the dog" with high-octane events and start investing deeply in a few, you don't just scale.
You multiply.
Stop working to produce fruit.
Start focusing on staying attached to the Vine.
The growth will take care of itself.
What’s your one-word definition of growth?
For me It’s Abiding.
