Afterword

I truly believe that you can achieve extraordinary success as a leader while simultaneously making a significant, positive impact on the world. However, this is possible only if you take action. So before you put this book down and move on to what's next, please take a moment to write down at least three things you will do in the next 24 hours to help you better serve the people around you and inspire others to do the same.

One very easy first step is to commit to start at least a little bit of mindfulness training. You can find instructions for doing that in the Appendix.

Even easier, if you found this book helpful and inspiring, you could make a list of the people you think would benefit from reading it, and share it with them.

Together, we can build a worldwide community of highly effective leaders who are devoted to serving and inspiring greatness in others—we can change the world.
