Lessons Learned…Give Something Back

This weekend I was asked to help out with a friends CNA graduation project. My friend just completed a Certified Nursing Assistant Program, and the class wanted to do a video for their graduation. Since I have some video skills, I was asked to participate and help out with the project. To be perfectly honest, participating in nursing home activities, is a little out of my comfort zone.

I am a big proponent of stretching outside of our comfort level, so I knew I had to “Put my money where my mouth is.” In the end I really enjoyed the day, and my GIVE BACK turned into a rewarding GIFT TO MYSELF…Be sure to watch the video at the end. It ties this whole story all together. Very Powerful!

What is your Own Personal Legend?

What is Your Personal Legend?
I was watching a web interview with Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary V. is the author of “CRUSH IT”, Why Now Is The Time To Cash In on Your Passion. I finished the end of the book and immediately started over on page 1. We live in an era of unmatched opportunity. Gary V. is an evangelist for being authentic, harnessing and monetizing your passion, and hustle. Not hustle in the terms of a scam artist, but hustle in the terms of working your butt off to accomplish what you were truly meant to do.

In this web interview with Gary V. was asked, “How do I find my passion?” He simply said “I have no idea.” It was evident by some of the questions popping up that people were looking for a step by step approach to accomplish their dreams. Gary V. does give some valuable tips on using the online tools available to us in “CRUSH IT.” But the real value comes from a shift in mindset. Gary V. has built of a $60 million dollar business by reinventing the long perceived path to success. Continue Reading

Wow “The Go Giver” in Action

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

This Video Gave Me Chills. The Go Giver in action. Through giving back these young men are having the time of their lives!

I’ve never felt an obligation to send a video response to a video through youtube. This time I did. That video is exactly what can be accomplished through our video screens, with our keyboard and mouse, through “Tribe Syndication.” All Thing are possible to The Go Giver.

This just expanded my vision of what is possible in my own life. It all starts right here. I have held fast on my vision for the last two years. I’m getting closer and closer everyday. My vision revolved around more time with family. I remind myself of this vision everyday.

The vision was to retire from my job flying helicopters and live on a lake house in Michigan during the summer. I envision our house being the place where all of our family and friends visit and enjoy what the lake has to offer. There is no better place to be than Michigan in the winter.

But the winters are cruel, gray and miserable. I’m not a winter person. So my vision includes traveling around in an RV to warm climates in the winter. I need to add to that vision after watching the video. I truly believe that all things are possible, now that I’ve seen the light with blogging alliances, and tribe syndication. Thanks for the inspiration…The Buried Life!!!
