Global Leadership Summit 2013: Session 4 – Mark Burnett

In America, no door is closed. Americans will give you a chance.

Got advice from a great business leader: Start a business that is the lowest cost of entry.

NO – Next Opportunity

You are going to get “No”s. You need to keep moving forward.

You can have ideas, but you have to take action.

When Jesus/God calls you, you actually have to get your ass off the couch and do something.

Stop playing defensively and start playing offensively. Don’t apologize. You love it, go for it.

This is a nation that is absolutely built on the Bible and on our faith. This is a nation that is in need of hope. We came along at the right time in our nation’s history.

Choose your companions before you choose your road. Choose wisely who you travel with.

Empower great leaders and help them understand to: raise up those in the trenches and you cannot keep around the energy suckers. You might have to make hard choices but at some point you have to pull the plug.

Not every person is the right player for the team.

Unresolved conflicts will absolutely drain your energy.

What’s more annoying than hiring great people and then doing their job for them?

I absolutely manage from an arms distance. Give notes, but don’t sit there and push the buttons.

It’s great to dream big, but we have to make it.

I’m not saying don’t dream big, but you have to have an understanding skill set.

The easiest thing in the world to do is waste money.

Making Christian shows on TV doesn’t give you permission to make it crappy.
