My intention is to lead people that will eventually leave. I believe a real leader is not based on what they become but measured by what they create through their success. I want to rise up leaders that go out and change the world in a positive way. I want people enable to lead their own tribes and pursue the passions in their souls. I expect people to use this business as a trampoline to greater outreaches. I am not concerned with keeping people in this business forever. If people would like to stay, there will always be a place for them here, but I’m looking forward to celebrate your success outside this business from the profits and personal development you received from our team. You will always be a free agent and hopefully an agent of change. ....
We will help you face fear and learn to use it as an ally not a foe. Many people in this world are just waiting for all of us to fail! But the world we love and embrace is waiting for us to win and add value. I have experienced both. It seemed like there were so many people that were just waiting for me to fail so they could say “See! I told you so, told you that was gonna happen!” almost like they celebrate being right about someone’s loss. How messed up is that!!?? Because you have the audacity to challenge the present powers and those that sheepishly followed, you will be insulted and then ridiculed when you fail. But, if you are willing to get up and persevere, your fear and pain will be drowned out by the stories of restoration and victory that you help to create. I’ve found there are actually many people out there who really do want us to win. They are cheering us on to get up and get going. All of those people who cry in the movies that suffers the pain of the fallen are actually still whispering into the universe “get up, get up, get up!” “Please get up”! “We love you and we forgive you” “We need you to lead us” “We are here, and when you are ready we will rise with you!” Listen to this voice. God loves us and wants to use our story for the greater good of mankind! Your new humility and wisdom can carry you to heights that we thought were impossible until you went through this crucible. You are now made new and will lead one of the greatest movements of mankind! You have faced death and you are no longer afraid. “God is in the rain!”....

I am so sickened by the hundreds of stories of people who struggle for years but never seem to get anywhere. For some reason they just can’t seem to get attract and develop of the results they deserve. They should worked hard, followed all the rules and taken all the beatings. I am very proud of the personal changes people have made and don’t discount that at all, however I feel it is my duty to make the necessary changes in order for people to finally make some headway on their dreams. Many are told to continue follow and keep doing what they are doing; becoming better and better at following but never learn to lead. In fact, being told is not to think, just listen and follow. Follow instructions, follow directions, follow the pack, do what they tell you, they did to get where they are at. “Tired men and bored women!” boring ideas don’t spread and boring organizations don’t grow. ....
Working in an environment that is stuck is not fun and breeds more of the same. Worse yet, working in an organization that fight for change will breed the initiative out of you. The age of free-thinking is upon us and yet fear still remains. The old ages will tell stories of what happened to others that chose to go down this path over and over again. Many will use these stories to stoke fear and rationalize their desire to hide and do nothing. Fear keeps people under submission. Fear that there is no way they could make it without the help of their current leadership. I would challenge that it’s not really the fear of failure that grips them but the fear of criticism! We have worked for our whole lives to avoid being talked about and put down. Choosing to is not to be remarkable because we are worried about criticism is very real. People are worried about stepping out, leading change, being a rebel or sharing a passionate message because someone will criticize it or judge them. I’ve been blogged hundreds of times, gossiped about, judged and measured by tens of thousands. It is hurtful, damaging and even sometimes paralyzing but what I try to remember is that the love is silent and the hate is loud. I believe it is the vocal minority that tries to stop my love for people and life. I am grateful to have a voice that people care enough to listen to and criticize but I absolutely refuse to lose heart. Truly, I have learned so much from both sides of the blogs. Both love and judgment can be helpful if taken in the right context. Boring or remarkable is a choice! Follow your destiny and lead a healing movement. ....

If someone asks you how your day was and your answer is fine then I don’t think you are leading and I don’t think you are living passionately. So, the question on the table is, are we going to live remarkably or boringly? Boring is safe and without issue. William Wallace, in Braveheart , challenged his ragtag army of farmers and blacksmiths by declaring, “Dying in your beds many years from now would you be willing to trade all of this, from this day till then, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies, you can take our homes, you can take our lives but you will never take our freedom!!” as he rode in front of them before their battle..We will never have to risk our lives and our fortunes but we will be risking comfort and heavy criticism. I would challenge all to ponder that if the only side effect of criticism is that we will feel bad about what people say, then we should compare that feeling with the benefits we will get from actually doing something incredibly bold and worthwhile. Being remarkable is exhilarating and raised life to the highest level. The feeling of criticism eventually wears off and dies down over time and extinguished with success and impact. The real question is who are we upsetting and why are they upset? Are they taking it personally that we want to change our lives passionately? Are they afraid of losing control or profit? Are these really reasons that are about helping us live our dreams or their dreams? Thoughts to ponder!....
