E = EVENT
R = REACTION
O = OUTCOME We must decide if we want to REACT to the EVENT in a positive or negative way and this will directly affect the OUTCOME. This is will define our RESULTS!” ~

HOSPITALITY LEADERSHIP… Focus on what really matters.
By Mike Leber
You can’t control others. But these 17 keys for growth are 100% yours:
It’s not always obvious. Especially when we get triggered. We often waste energy on things beyond our control.
And it feels reasonable:
❌ The job we might have lost
❌ A bully at the workplace
❌ The bad economics
❌ Global crises
But the truth is, we can’t change most of these.
And while obsessing over them might even break us, we don’t focus enough on what we can control.
These simple steps will help you refocus:
✅ Pause and zoom out
✅ Reflect on your purpose
✅ Reaffirm your core values
✅ Shift from control to curiosity
✅ Ask: “What truly matters right now?”
✅ Zero in on the next right step forward
From there, the things that matter most are 100% yours:
- Your response to setbacks
➟ Choose growth over rumination. - The media you consume
➟ Curate what shapes your mindset. - Your daily habits
➟ Build routines for stability and growth. - How you spend your free time
➟ Invest in activities that recharge you. - Your self-talk
➟ Speak to yourself with kindness and encouragement. - Your boundaries
➟ Set limits to protect your mental health. - The goals you set for yourself
➟ Align them with your true values. - Your learning journey
➟ Commit to evolving every day. - Your sleep quality
➟ Prioritize rest for peak performance. - Your food choices
➟ Fuel your body with purpose. - Your movement
➟ Regular exercise boosts energy and mood. - Your digital detox
➟ Cut down screen time for better focus. - Your financial habits
➟ Be mindful of how you spend and save. - Your relationships
➟ Surround yourself with uplifting people. - Your gratitude practice
➟ Appreciate the small, everyday blessings. - Your ability to adapt
➟ Embrace change and flow with life’s shifts. - Your acts of kindness
➟ Spread compassion to enrich lives.
The moment you detach from what you can’t control, and take back what is truly yours,
you turn from being a victim to becoming a true leader of your own life.
Focus on what really matters.
And watch your growth skyrocket.
