what are you getting out of this why are you here while you read self-help books
why you go to workshops and pay lots of money to learn these skills and to
empower yourself and chances are you've probably taken some shit along the way
from family and friends you say why do you do that and maybe ignore them maybe
you try to explain it to them but they don't get it
and yet you keep going with this so it must be doing something for you you must
be wanting something out of this and it must be improving your life must be
helping you in some way because you continue to do this
where did this all start for you what is where was that seed planner where you
started along this line of wanting to improve yourself and develop yourself
and to learn skills and to get better
whatever that means for you and why is that even important to know that for me
i can remember my dad was really into personal development and positive
thinking and he would listen to cassette tapes in his bedroom and he would read
books all the time about positive thinking setting goals and achieving
goals and he rarely talk to me about this he rarely well i would say he never
pushed it on me or my brother's he was also happened to be the valley religious
and still there's and he did push Catholicism on me and which Catholicism
on my brothers and I think he had a burning desire to make sure that we
ended up taking on the faith and not burning and help
well and are later teams all three of us
my brothers and I left the faith for our for all of our own reasons and I'm sure
for all three of us had something to do with him trying to push it on us as well
I was always curious about who these men were
my dad was listening to after we were supposed to all be in bed and while I
would lie in bed and I was supposed to be sleeping
I i would hear this raspy voice that he was listening to saying these things
that were credible and empowering and I I couldn't stop listening to it and I
was far more interested in hearing that been hearing what are priests had to say
at church and there was Zig Ziglar remembering on my dad listen to him I
didn't take to him as well because you had this very southern baptist accent
didn't take it too well but that raspy voice belonged to tony robbins and
eventually my dad moved on from Tony to Jim Rohn and jim rohn was probably more
my speed and probably more my dad speed is little calmer not as hyper i can only
take Tony and doses and jim rohn was more grounded it seemed and more
comforting and had a very soothing voice and it kind of reminded me of like my
grandfather
one day my dad took me to see jim rohn speak when I was 16 and that was a
wonderful experience and it was during that time it was at that talk that I did
you wrong mentioned that tony robbins had worked for him and I didn't know
that and then later learned by reading a book by Tony that when he heard jim rohn
speak for the first time that they're believers on a cassette tape much like
probably the one that I heard the first time and that was life-changing for him
he suddenly knew what he wanted to do and he eventually went and saw Jim Rohn
speaking saved his money and when you saw him speak and again that was another
life changing moment for how many new what you want to do for the rest of his
life until he tells that story is very knows that story very well what is your
story I just told you my story and why is that important
well i know it drives i know that from the very beginning from the very
beginning but pretty close
hearing these people speak
and it was more than just Jim Rohn and tony robbins and Ziggler there were more
than all the cumulative message that kept getting from these men was that
you're not stuck with the life you were giving you can take charge of your life
and you can create your destiny that message got pounded into me over and
over and this this this crazy idea just thrilled me it still does it this idea
is what drives me
still to this day that's what's that's why I'm here making this video it's why
i write my blog it's why I teach its why a coach and knowing that gives me a
sense of what story do I want to continue with that's why this is
important
where did this start for you how did you get to where you are now in this area in
the field of your own development
how did you get to here and where do you want the rest of the story to go what's
the story you want to be telling about your life that is extremely impairing
knowing where your cum where you come from and it may be where you come from
this tons of failures wouldn't be a great story to tell if you came from
tons of so many failures and you turned it all around you started having lots of
success
that's a great story and actually that makes the story better you know the
story was just nothing but success and maybe boring actually when you serve you
have the paddle like hell to catch up or to connect with that wave wave is coming
fast you have to paddle like hell and if your momentum matches with the waves
momentum you suddenly connect with it and you feel this the power of the wave
it's amazing and that force just starts to push your board up forward and that's
when you know it's time to stand up and ride that wave your personal story is
that paddling like hell to catch that wave and that wave his life when you
your personal story connects with life like that and you realize you feel that
force you realize it's time to stand up and ride it
that's when you create your destiny
