CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”
After a speaking engagement the other day, in Cleveland, I stopped by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s located in the downtown area and right on the shore of Lake Erie.
It was at the Cleveland Arena, on March 21, 1952, where the first rock concert took place. That’s why it seems appropriate that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be located in that city.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was officially opened in 1995 and now visitors come from all of the world to see mementos from top performers who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
All of us, in our own lives, can literally have our own hall of fame. What if we looked at our lives as an adventure, one series after another? What if we made our very best effort, on any given day, with the idea that one day we could be inducted into our personal hall of fame?
If we took that thought seriously, would we do something more each day? Would we go the extra mile? Would we try a little harder? I think we would.
In the Napoleon Hill book, “Think and Grow Rich”, he said “go the extra mile.” His idea was to do a little more than is expected of us and amazing things will happen.
What if we had two people, working in the same industry, with similar backgrounds, and similar educations, but one was earning twice as much money as the other? What was the one earning more money doing? Was that person putting out twice as much effort?
No. The one earning twice as much put out just 10% more effort than the other. Going the extra mile, with 10% more effort, will often get us 100% more in results.
I suggest we all make that extra effort to get into our Personal Hall of Fame.
I hope to see you Wednesday morning on Lifetime Television on The Balancing Act, 7-8 a.m. Easter and Pacific time.
For speaking engagements, I can be reached at 619-723-3007.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. You are a Champion!

George Washington and Your Definite Purpose
CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”
After doing a seminar in the Washington, D.C., area recently, I drove by the Washington Monument. What an amazing monument to an amazing man – George Washington, the father of the United States of America.
The monument is 555 feet tall and 55 feet across at the base. It was built between the years 1848 and 1884. The builders kept running out of money and there was the matter of the Civil War during that time. It cost a total of $1,817,000.
The Washington Monument stands for someone who was truly incredible – the first president of the United States of America. He was the Commander in Chief of the armed forces during the Revolutionary War with England.
Can you imagine trying to pull together a group of farmers and volunteers who don’t necessarily want to be there? And you don’t have enough money. You don’t have the armaments you need. You don’t have the proper clothing or food to keep this army together. And yet they win the Revolutionary War.
What about the time Washington spent the winter in Valley Forge? Many of his men were freezing and didn’t have food. But Washington had something that Napoleon Hill talks about in the book “Think and Grow Rich” – Definiteness of Purpose.
George Washington had Definiteness of Purpose. His purpose was to create a new country – to win the Revolutionary War and create the United States of America.
And that definiteness of purpose helped Washington to move through, get over any obstacles, and they won against the military might of Great Britain.
So, my question to you and me is: What can we have more definiteness of purpose about in our lives? Is it about our relationships, about our finances, about our career?
What can we do this week to focus more on our most important definite purpose?
Perhaps it’s time to stake an emotional monument to something important and take action to achieve it.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. I see it in you. You are a Champion. Have a powerful day.
