As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this money BFO

As if Baby Boomers need a reminder for this money BFO – blinding flash of the obvious.

The odds are overwhelming that I’ll fail.

This is the real test. Tenacity and perseverance.

One of the greatest, eye-opening experiences a business professional can ever have is starting their own business. You learn first-hand the things only a real, hard-working entrepreneur knows.

Forget text book theory and arm-chair quarterback decisions. They don’t exist! When it’s your money, time and ultimately – success or failure – everything you’ve ever learned comes into question. Everything is a test.

Do you dream of leading a different kind of life?

Do you dream of leading a different kind of life? Most of us do, at one point or another in our lives.

The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it’s really a different kind of life. – Buckminster Fuller

So there we have it. To lead a different kind of life, we just need to do it. If it were only that easy.

Note: Out for a run, a one-minute difference saved me from being hit from behind. A few years after, I began an LLC.

The best speech of 2012?

Greater than our fear of death is our fear of public speaking. As a professional speaker for 14 years, it’s astonishing to think I’ve spoken to 1,000,000 people, give or take.

Now think about what you do. And about what you fear. Who’s the best at doing what you do? And have you mastered your fear?

Hone your craft, your art, (your fear), by paying attention to accolades others receive. Bill Whittle’s speech was called… The best speech of 2012?

PS. Please try to look past the political content and evaluate Bill’s speech only for his art of public speaking.
