This book is a very unique one because it provides youwith age-old wisdom to become a leader of yourselfand then other people.

Isolation of oneself provides you with clarity and, withthe knowledge I gained from reading over 400 booksduring my incarceration and from the 500 or so sincemy release, God has revealed to me the 52 ultimateleadership principles that if applied will lead to a lifeof wholeness.

I challenge you today to apply these principles andbecome the leader you were meant to be!

52 Ultimate Leadership Principles for Teens

1. While going through a difficult time, only twothings can happen: you can choose to be bitter, oryou can choose to get better! What are youchoosing today?

NOTES:


2. People say that experience is the best teacher. Idisagree. Can experience teach a lesson? Sure itcan, but there is a great cost. My favorite booksays, “A wise man learns from instruction notexperience.” If you have to experience everythingfor you to learn a lesson, then you are going towaste a lot of time. I was not a wise young man,and it cost me six years in prison; but to God bethe glory.

NOTES:


11. Successful people prioritize their TIME becausethey realize TIME can never be retrieved. How youmanage TIME will determine whether you win orlose in the game of life! How are you managingyour time?

NOTES:


16. The mind is so powerful. While I was incarcerated,I used to walk around visualizing myself speakingto hundreds and thousands of people. Now I amwatching it unfold right before my eyes. Themessage here is clear. Dream big because themind can produce what your heart desires.

NOTES:


18. Educating yourself is a lifetime process, so dowhat you really enjoy so the world can get thebest you!

NOTES:


20. You can change your life one book at a time. Myfavorite book says, “In all your getting, getunderstanding.” If you want a better relationship,better health, or more money there is a book outthere to help you meet your need. Pick up a booktoday, read it, take action, and watch your lifebegin to change.

NOTES:


23. My parents loved me and supported me when Idid not deserve their love. My mom said, “Justbecause you made a bad choice doesn’t mean Iwill stop loving and supporting you. That is notwhat God expects of me.” As a teenager, I did nothonor my mother and father and my life fell apart.I challenge you to honor your parents and watchyour life flourish.
