The toughest decisions often come when you’re standing alone. That’s where conviction matters most. Stay grounded in your WHY, trust your principles, and lead with purpose. You won’t always have everyone with you (that’s okay), but you must always believe in what you stand for.
Mike Tomlin explains why leadership is lonely, and says conviction is the key to making better decisions
“When I wasn’t sure, I certainly did. But I preface that by saying, when I wasn’t sure. I’ve always had the courage of my convictions, man. And so if there was something that I was solid on, I didn’t ask.”
“Sometimes people ask questions when really their mind’s made up, and I just always tried not to do that. If I was solid on something, I went with it. If I wasn’t solid on something, I certainly leaned on those guys, respected their opinions, and allowed myself to be influenced by things they felt strongly about.”
“I just think more than anything, and this was told to me early on, and it’s a real thing: assistants make suggestions and head coaches make decisions. And you have to be comfortable with that.”
“Certainly, you’ve got to take in information, and when you have experienced assistants like I did, man, that information is oftentimes very good. But you’ve got to be really comfortable with the fact that the responsibility is yours. The decisions are yours.”
“There’s a certain loneliness to leadership, and that’s okay. I discovered that, and really I discovered that I was okay with that. There is a certain loneliness with leadership, but it comes with the territory.”View quoted post on X
“Begin At The End”
“Pick Your People”
“Chart The Course”
“All You Got. Every Day”
That’s the “Finish Empty Formula.”
It is the way!
I highly recommend reading Jason Curry’s book, Finish Empty, to learn more about the Finish Empty Mindset, Formula, and Edge.

It’s Sunday night. Before you call it a day, I want you to try something. Grab your calendar, look at the week ahead, and work through these five steps with me. Let’s make this week a masterpiece.
Establish the priority. What deserves your best this week? Give it a place on your calendar before everything else fills the space.
Set the routine. When are you at your best? Protect those hours for what matters most. Decide when you’ll go to bed and how you’ll start your morning. Remember, the battle for excellence is fought in your schedule.
Remove what works against you. Get rid of the bad food. Silence unnecessary notifications. Identify what keeps pulling you off track and do something about it.
Make excellent choices easier. Lay out your workout clothes. Get your Bible and devotional out. Prepare tonight for the choices you want to make tomorrow.
Implement accountability. Tell someone what you’re committing to. Ask them to follow up. Give them permission to challenge your excuses.
I’m in your corner, pulling for you and praying for you. Make this week a masterpiece!View quoted post on X
