My Journey From Ordinary to Extraordinary

      What a quick summer semester this has been! I want to reflect upon lessons that I have learned and hopefully be able to share what I've learned with you.     The single best piece of advice I want to give you is learn to deconstruct your fears. I realized most fears we put in front of ourselves that hold us back from achieving greatness is all in our head and most likely will never happen. It's compared to the boogie man when you were a kid, it kept you from going to bed because you had this made up fear in your head. I had a fear of failure and being poor again, so poor that my family would suffer greatly. However as I learned the chances of that happening are very close to zero. If I work hard, charge for my services and not do it for free then I'll be blessed with the income that I need to support my families needs. This fear came from me working on commission and not having great success but I deconstructed this fear and realized that my fear does not ...

 Welcome back! I want to talk to you about a video I watched today, which was about how to avoid the wrong job. I have personally known many people who go into jobs and absolutely hate it! In fact I've been one of those people.     In this video which features Stan Christensen he tells us he seen and interviewed many resumes and people and the one thing he's interested in is the persons story.

Pick something you think will be fun! What? Is it really that simple? The point is to do something you enjoy doing everyday.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!! (What you can do with it and how to get it)     This week I want to talk to you about..... MONEY!!!! Have you every heard of the phrase "Money isn't everything". People who use that saying are in my mind incorrect. To me that's something a person who doesn't have money or has been taught incorrect principles about money would say. I have often said "They say money isn't everything, but you need money for everything." The reason I have said this is because you need money to pay tithing, you need money to help those in need, you need money for food, to pay your mortgage, pay your insurance, put gas in your car, keep the lights on, the list goes on and on.     This week we read an article called "Attitude on Money" by Stephen W. Gibson, in this article he talks about two types of people, those who know what money is for and those who want absolutely nothing to do with it. He also compares it to looking through lenses if ...
