Boy, what an immature and impossible goal that was. Ever look back on how ridiculous your “big dreams” were?

One of the most motivating things you will ever do is to dust off an old childhood dream and do whatever it takes to make it come true.

It still makes me smile at how quickly and easily this simple business card was to make. Took 5,000 of these beauties to Finland, August 2009.

And it makes me cry laugh how many I came back with. Dream big. Launch, learn, revise. Repeat.

You be the judge – watch the complainers for awhile, and then decide which approach is more effective long term.

I did. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is what you believe. And until you believe it more than me, nothing much will change. You okay with that? I don’t make this stuff up. Wish it’s truth weren’t so real.

Who’s your role model for balance in life? I mean someone with mastery of the basics in each of life’s five big buckets.

Most people come up short on their answer. I did too. So I set out to change. A motivational tip – strive to become an expert at something the world needs. Sure, sounds kinda crazy. So what? Maybe crazy is finally the thing you should try. Go.
