“I’m always looking for what can I learn next.” - Clyde Middleton   Today's featured author is active Toastmaster, John Maxwell Team Certified Coach, Teacher, and Speaker, Clyde A. Middleton. Clyde and I talk about his new book and the power of believing in the right words.   Key Takeaways: Waking up on this side of the grass is a good day. Never let someone else’s opinion guide the rest of your life. Someone else’s opinion of me doesn’t define you. We are luckier than we think we are. If you want to grow you have to change your environment. One big decision in your life can make a major difference in your life. Attitude is everything and it determines how we far get in life. You can accomplish anything if you are willing to pay the price. Have a gratitude mindset.   Clyde's Site: https://clydemiddleton.com/    Clyde's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Lessons-Trailer-Park-Everyone/dp/0578507218   Related Episodes:   14 - "Reach Your Mountaintop" Jeff Davis (@JeffDavis027): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-14-jeff-davis-jeffdavis027 21 - "How to Get Your DTM Award As Fast as Possible" with John Comberiate (@jccomber): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/21-how-to-get-your-dtm-award-as-fast-as-possible-with-john-comberiate-jccomber 28 - The Wright Thought with Luke Wright (@Lukemotivates): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/28-the-wright-thought-with-luke-wright-lukemotivates Super Special Awesome Leadership Episode with Chris Jordan (@cjjordan76): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/super-special-awesome-leadership-episode-with-chris-jordan-cjjordan76 84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge  91 - "Inverted Leadership" with Joel Hawbaker (@RealLifeLeading): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/91-inverted-leadership-with-joel-hawbaker-reallifeleading  99 - "Leader By Choice" with Andres Valdes (@IamAndresValdes): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/99-leader-by-choice-with-andres-valdes-iamandresvaldes    Host 2 Host Special - "Faith, Reinvention & Biblical Character Development" with Bob Thibodeau (@bob_thibodeau): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/host-2-host-special-faith-reinvention-biblical-character-development-with-bob-thibodeau-bob_thibodeau
