Be Your Real True Self
February 24, 2008
Most of us aren’t 100% real. We are too afraid to show our true colors, to unfurl the flag of our true thoughts and emotions. We think people would run away screaming if they saw what we really looked like. Or we think they would fire us, drop us, hate us, judge us, tell others, or worse if we spoke from the heart.
Life is too short to waste it being fake.
Today, find the true grit needed to be who you are. Say what’s on your mind. Let your true face speak. The more you accept who you are – and share it with others – the less energy you will need to spend on hiding.
Road Map to Success
January 11, 2008
by Napoleon Hill
Before starting to build a house, you’d get a set of blueprints to guide you. And you wouldn’t start on a trip without knowing where you were going and how you intended to get there.
But only about two people of every thousand know precisely what they desire from life and have workable plans for attaining their goals. These are the men and women who are leaders – the big successes who make life pay off on their own terms.
The strange thing is that these successful people have no more personality, no more education, and no more opportunities than others who never make the grade.
If you aren’t sure what you want from life, start now – this very hour. Decide definitely what you want, how much of it you want, and when you desire to have it in your possession.
First, write out a clear statement of what you desire most – the one thing or circumstance which, after you attain it, would justify your calling yourself a success.
Second, write out a clear outline of the plan by which you intend to attain this objective.
Third, set a time within which you intend to achieve your goal.
Fourth, memorize what you’ve written and repeat it many times daily in the form of a prayer.
Remember – nothing ever “just happens!” Someone has to make things happen, including individuals’ successes. Success in every calling is the result of definite action, carefully planned and persistently carried out by the person who conditions his mind for success and believes thoroughly that he will attain it.
How about drawing your road map to success today?
According to Jung, Which Type of Person are You?

I came across this great site that goes over the Myers Briggs Personality test. This is a very powerful test that will give you valuable insight into your personality and what makes you tick. This will also tell you some of the people throughout history that also have the same characteristics as you.
So, please feel free to spend 10 minutes on the test, and leave a comment describing your personality type, and how this information might affect you moving forward.
For me, I am an ENTP (Extroverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving) is one of the sixteen personality types from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter.
The ENTP has been described variously as the innovator,[1] the originator,[2] the lawyer,[3] the inventor,[4] the explorer,[5] and the visionary.[3] They also fall into the general categories of thinkers, rationals, and engineers.[6] Through their primary function-attitude of extraverted intuition (Ne), ENTPs are quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and ideas. These interrelationships are analyzed in profound detail through the ENTPs auxiliary function, introverted thinking (Ti). The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and relationships work, and how they can be improved.
The following blockquote describes me pretty accurately. It is interesting to me to find out that the following people share the characteristics with me. Walt Disney, Benjamin Franklin, Ray Kurtzweil, Buckminster Fuller, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Alexander the Great, Lewis Carrol, George Carlin, Weird Al Yankovic, Alfred Hitchcock, Tom Hanks, and Steve Jobs.
I can deal with that. Read more
Blast from the Past, Ephren Taylor and GoFerretGo
October 21, 2007
So I was watching The Big Idea on CNBC the other day, and an old boss of mine was on the show. Now, I say old, but he is only 24 now. In 2001, he was 18 years old and he was the Co-Founder of GoFerretGo. I was hired as a national salesmen in August of 2001 until May 2002. An interesting experience working for a startup, especially during post 9-11. But Ephren has always been inspiring with an incredible knack in picking a winner. In fact, I believe that the experience fueled my fire to also become a successful entrepreneur, even though the venture wasn’t as successful as it probably could have been.
Ephren is a one of a kind, classy guy and he is extremely hard working. He makes things happen. In fact, he is the youngest ever CEO of a publicly traded company. And Ephren, well he has 2 publically traded companies. Always the overachiever.
Watch this 4 minute video of Ephren on Big Idea on CNBC, and be inspired by someone Cultivating Greatness!
