What are we reading? The Difference Maker: Making Your Attitude Your Greatest Asset.
- by John Maxwell
Leading with the Right Attitude.
The future is unpredictable, and the reactions or decisions of others are often beyond our control. What remains fully within our influence, however, is the attitude we choose each day. It’s easy to stay upbeat when everything goes according to plan—but those days are the exception, not the norm. True leadership shines when circumstances are difficult.
Whether you’re guiding a school, a district, or a business team, start each morning by intentionally setting your mindset. Challenges—expected and unexpected—are part of every day. By choosing a positive, solution-oriented attitude, you not only strengthen your own resilience but also inspire those around you. Optimism and calm are contagious; your example can elevate the climate of an entire school or organization.
👉 Quick Action Step:
A positive attitude matters! Before beginning your day, take two quiet minutes to write down one positive intention—such as “I will listen first,” or “I will look for solutions, not blame.” Revisit it mid-day to reset and finish strong.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
