MEETING NOTES

Fellow Rotarian Larry Davis introduced former Rotarian Justin Maust as our program speaker.  Justin fired up the Club with the challenge to “fall in love with a concept” and to pursue it with passion.  He reminded us that leadership means influence and that as business leaders, Rotarians need to have a personal passion and financial commitment to the success of the city and community.  He gave us four steps to accomplish whatever passion dictates:  1. Courage to dream big and be on fire to pursue it.  2.  Courage to evaluate yourself and others and make the necessary course corrections to attain your dream.  3.  Courage to overcome every obstacle with the knowledge that mediocrity does not inspire – passion does.  And Justin’s favorite -  4.  Courage to win daily knowing that relentless turtles win the race.  In Justin’s case, his passionate project is the “Lead Michiana” conference that over 1400 people will attend at the Century Center on Friday to become highly motivated, passionate, inspiring leaders.
