A Passion for What You Do

with Don Green
Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation

Don is about as pleasant a person as you could ever speak to in your life. I know, because I just spoke to him. And I recorded it for you to listen to. How about that?

What did we talk about? Why the life and work of Napoleon Hill, of course. You’ve most likely heard of Napoleon Hill, but like most of us, you may not know a lot about him or his work.

Well, luckily, Don is here to educate us about the man’s importance and his influence. Napoleon Hill was one of the most important success and achievement experts in history, and his book “Think and Grow Rich” is pretty much the gold standard for anyone interested in self improvement.

There is a ton to learn from Napoleon Hill about how you too can be successful, and there is also a ton to learn from Don Green, who says rather convincingly that he isn’t in it for the money. He has a passion for what he does (Something to consider, yes?). So give this interview a listen and do some learning. I hope you like it.

If You Know it, Teach it

Jack Black in School of RockRecently, my friend Dan Callahan wrote a little something on his blog about his mentor Jack Jackson, who recently had some medical complications, and Dan wanted to be sure to point out the amount of impact that Jack had on him and others during his many years as a drug and alcohol rehabilitation coach.

You can read Dan’s post here: http://www.rehabilitation-center.org/blog/purpose-of-life

I left a comment there in response, but I wanted to expand on what I wrote in full article format, if I may.

Dan made a great point about how important it can be to make a positive impact on another person, and I said that I agree and I mentioned how, as a result, I often recommend teaching as a possible career path for anyone who’s looking for a new line of work, and looking for something that they might find fulfilling and gratifying.

I realized that I recommend that to a lot of people, but I’ve never mentioned it here before. Which is pretty stupid of me. Sorry about that.

But here I am now. So let me explain what I’m talking about.

Watch Me Succeed

with Joseph Ratliff
Internet Marketing Strategy Expert

Joseph Ratliff has built a very successful business on the internet, and he now focuses on helping others do the same. He was nice enough to pass along some of his basic principles for success to us.

If you’re interested in entrepreneurship as a new career move, then there’s a lot that you can learn from Joe. But his advice also applies to any form of personal success, because he preaches focused action, learning from failure, goal setting (or rather, goal achievement), and what he calls the “abundace vs. scarcity mindset”. He explains it all in the audio recording below.

Also, he has one very important thing to say to anyone who tells him what he can’t do: “watch me”. That’s a very positive attitude to have, and one we should all think about adopting. Actually, Joe has a great attitude all around, come to think of it.

While you’re there, be sure to check out his blog for some great advice about entrepreneurship and success, and his free ebook “Success is Straight in Front of You”.

Make Your Own Career

with Neil Patel
Online Entrepreneur & Blogger

Neil Patel has forgotten more about starting your own business than most of us will ever know. There’s a lot to be said for someone who can become so successful so quickly, and a lot of it has to do with hard work and perseverance.

Neil’s not afraid to take chances and make mistakes, because he knows that he’s going to learn from them and get better at what he does. The same rule can apply to you if you let it.

Neil’s advice for success: just do it. Which means get out there and give it your best shot. Learn as you go. If you’re going to wait for everything to be perfect first, then you’re never going to get anything done.

Very wise. You can learn a lot from Neil about personal success, so I highly recommend checking out his websites to find out more.

Celebrate Your Magnificence

with David Lamoureaux
Life Coach & Author

If you’re going to employ the services of a life coach, then you might as well speak to someone who is full of life. And I think that describes David to a tee.

He has a ton of great stories to share and such an upbeat and easy going way of conversing. It was a pleasure to speak with him, and I think you’ll enjoy listening to what he has to say.

He says that he often asks his clients, “When was the last time you celebrated your magnificence?” (hence the title of this post), and “When have you reached beyond your comfort zone?” Both excellent motivational questions. Ask yourself those same things and see what answers you come up with.

He also has a new book called Recycling Your Past, which is all about learning how to cope when coming from an alcoholic or abusive or non-supportive family. You can get it by contacting David directly by email at david.lifecoach@att.net or by regular mail at this address:
