When I got this in an email and watched it, I KNEW I had to share it with you. Not only are there a lot of great lessons we can all learn from a 2 year old, but if this doesn’t start your week off with a powerful and genuine smile, I don’t know what will!

This kind of stuff really gets me excited because it’s normal people doing really cool things.

In this Motivational Monday I want to share with you a very important lesson from a plant?!? Yes, from a plant. And no, it’s not from a plant you →

This is a GREAT message.

If you’re hearts not in it, don’t do it!

But if you commit to doing something, heart in it or not, give it all you’ve got because →

I’m my book, The Unemployed Millionaire, I talk about the principles of being or becoming an entrepreneur.

One of my favorites is the simple fact that don’t need anything but ONE idea that drives you from your very core. Something that fuels so much passion into your heart, you can’t imagine how you could even live your life everyday without it.

You might not know how you’re going to make it happen and at times it may seem impossible but… →

In this Motivational Monday I want keep it really simple and remind you that great success is created through →

What matters more? That you claim the #1 prize or that you finish the race?

Most people would answer, “Getting the #1 spot!” but…

Sometimes “life happens” and you get a curve ball thrown at you. You might work hard for years to get one shot at achieving your dreams when something tragic happens like in this video…

But is it really tragic? Sure Derek wasn’t able to finish that race but when one door closes another opens that usually leads to an even better place that you NEVER would have ended up if that previous door hadn’t closed.

Dereks courage, dedication, and perseverance inspired thousands of people that day, the crowd cheered for him with more passion and heart than the winner of that race, his courage touched the souls of many and has continued to inspire tens of thousands of people to NEVER GIVE UP and has delivered much much fulfillment to his life than any one victory EVER could have.

How many times in your life have you been so focused on how you think things “should” look that you are unable to see the immense rewards and benefits sitting all around you?

When we lock onto a particular idea of how we want the story to end, we rob ourselves of the ability to see alternate and much BETTER endings.

In this case, it’s sad that Derek experienced an injury in his leg but the amount of strength, admiration, and respect he gained by showing the world that no matter what, even if you believe you’ve already lost the race, even if you’re in pain, even if it seems hopeless, even if you’re in pain, NO MATTER WHAT you NEVER EVER give up.

Because in this case, Derek may have lost a race but he finished a hero that gave him a legacy the will long outlive the 1st place prize of that race.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how you finish, it doesn’t matter what place you end up with, it’s the dedication, resilience, and fortitude TO finish that brings you success in life in ways you would never have been able to see if life DIDN’T throw you a curve ball…

Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in our surroundings and find the limitations. And it’s not always easy to look beyond the limitations, open your mind, and find alternative solutions to get what you want out of life.

One thing IS certain though, you will ALWAYS without exception, find exactly what your looking for if →

Who’s on your team?

There are so many amazing people of influence in the world. I’ve had many of them in my life to help guide me to the success I’ve been able to create and there will be many more.

And I’ve even gone as far as →

In this motivational Monday I thought this is a great and simple reminder of what it takes to succeed.

This is usually the time of year we reflect back on our achievements our successes, and sometimes, the things we haven’t quite achieved yet. The more exciting part of this time of year is looking ahead to what our plans our for the upcoming year.

All of my friends do it, I do it, and every other successful person I know does it but there is one defining difference that →
