Leaders must be extreme as in, extremely committed, extremely focused, and extremely passionate. The movie "United 93", which is about the commercial airliner that crashed in a Pennsylvania field on September 11, 2001, carries a power lesson of EXTREME leadership. In the movie, when Ben Sliney, the Air Traffic Control boss (who plays himself) realizes the scope of the 9/11 attack, he immediately orders all planes grounded.

Every airplane commercial, military, and private in the United States on the ground NOW! The massive inconveniences, the logistical nightmares, and also the financial costs for the airlines did not matter to him. He was a leader. He saw the dimensions with the moment and knew he had to go for the extremes of his professional knowledge and position.

Leadership requires that sort of severe commitment, focus, and passion. Numerous individuals are captivated by what is known as Extreme Sports. In these kinds of sports, athletes take a contest to its severe outer limits. Over the years, I've learned that leaders are those who take everyday living to its extreme outer limits. That's why they are leaders. Others are content to let existence lay there; leaders push it to and beyond the limitations that typically stop others. Just as only 5% of athletes ever compete at the severe level, only 5% of folks ever push towards the severe heights of everyday living.

When I started "Find Your Why," I was inundated with people who wanted to get rich. The dollar was their focus, but they weren't extremely committed towards the vision. So, I had to weed them out and go for some thing much better - extreme commitment. This type of severe commitment is the result of a individual selection. Each and every one of you reading this book proper now has the power to become extremely committed. It's in you! All you've to do is make the selection to become Severe - very committed.

Wherever you are, stand up and say it right now: I am a Leader! I'm very committed!

Now, remember: each and every choice gets tested. That's just the way everyday living is developed. So, don't be surprised when you get hit by a storm, a crisis, or a complete existence reversal. If you are very committed, you'll go through it. But, in case you are not extremely committed, the storm will reveal that also.
