It's Not Enough To Do Things Right, Do The Right Things: Leadership Principles for Life, Business and Success

What are you doing today to become the leader you want to be?

Peter Legge learned at a very early age that leadership is never given, but rather taken and based on the important principles instilled in his youth, Peter has developed a proven track record as both a leader and a mentor to others. His company, Canada Wide Media Limited is a Canadian success story – celebrating 35 years in business without ever having lost money. Under his leadership Canada Wide has established a track record for success that is the envy of many businesses.

“Given the fact that 50 per-cent of all new businesses fail in the first year, 50 per-cent of the remaining 50 per-cent fail in the second year and 50 per-cent of those left fail in the third, it is my father’s lessons that have helped Canada Wide Media to be a successful company for 35 years,” explains Peter. In that time, we have never lost money – ever! And we have an impeccable reputation and respect in the community”.

Let Peter share with you seven principles that have worked for him:

  • Being resourceful, inventive and creative and doing what is required.
  • Carefully choosing the five people you spend the most time with.
  • Living every day with passion, a positive attitude and purpose.
  • Seeking out mentors who will teach, encourage and guide you to success.
  • Serving the community – giving back infinitely more than you take.
  • Setting big goals.
  • Guarding your integrity.

Master painter and sculptor Michelangelo once said, “And yet I am still learning.” Who will you learn from so that your life, your business and the success that you’ve dreamed of becomes your masterpiece?
