Pay The Price Or Find A Price You Are Willing To Pay
TEAMS ARE MADE UP OF COMMITTED PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR SUCCESS
It takes time and energy to move any vision from the mouth and mind to the real world. That time and energy can only come from one source: committed team members.
RALLY THOSE IN YOUR LIFE TO PARTICIPATE
Don't allow your life to be compartmentalized. You have a team of people in your personal circumference: family, friends, others that you mentor or whom follow you. Influence them. Bring their passion, joy, talents, energy, and time WITH YOU as you engage in the greater vision.
If you do not bring them along, there will be a constant battle to balance your time between these different segments and people of your life. Resentments can surface.
You will never be able to give your life to an eternal vision without this unity.
IT COMES DOWN TO DESIRE AND DEDICATION
It is as true in the church as it is in business, sports, war, or any other genre demanding truly reliable teamwork in order to seize victory or profit.
You can have a main leader. You can create programs. You can have team colors. You can have extremely qualified members. The fact is, without the DESIRE of the team to want the vision to be a reality and without the DEDICATION to center your life's passion on it, the entire effort is a revolving door which expends energy without accomplishing anything. A maximum amount of energy is spent to rally, and a minimum amount of result is accomplished.
Without each team member's personal conviction that the cause is worth the cost that must be paid. Without this personal conviction, the battle will never be won, and the team will not succeed. There must be commitment, dedication, and desire.
WHAT MATTERS...
Any vision worth believing in is a vision worth giving your life to. If you do not believe in the vision of your company or church where you are right now, please find a vision you can embrace with your very life and go there. If you insist on being a part of a team that but are unwilling to engage the vision, you hinder your own life-work and will fall into a cycle of frustration that will discourage the rest of the team from wholeheartedly embracing the vision.
If you believe in the vision where you are and have not been engaged because you did not know how, fight to dive in. Communicate, grow, put more in your schedule than church service times or you basic 8 hour shift.

About Me-
- Jayson Pagan
- Salina, Kansas, United States
- Being raised in a home void of leadership, leading people does not come natural for me. After creating much havoc and chaos, it is my endeavor to share with others the lessons that I have learned along the way. I am a bilingual minister with the UPCI and have spent time pastoring, evangelizing, and have functioned for the last 8 years as the Administrator of a wonderful and growing Church in Southern Illinois. I have also been at the helm of successfully growing a small construction company to become a multi-million dollar industry. Space does not permit all the lessons learned!
