Comments on: What a Wild Ride… http://jeffwalker.com/wild-ride/ creator of the Product Launch Formula® Mon, 14 May 2012 18:11:42 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brett http://jeffwalker.com/wild-ride/#comment-3087 Brett Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:19:55 +0000 http://jeffwalker.com/?p=411#comment-3087 I realize this is an old post, and the moment is gone, but you bring up a point that (from my experience--limited as it is) lies at the crux of being an entreprenuer. I love robert kiyosaki's 4 quadrant book: cashflow quandrant because he clearly depicts how each person thinks and acts, based on how they arrive at income. And once you realize which quadrant you want to be in (preferrably business owner or investor) you start becoming really annoyed by all your W-2 friends, because that mindset is so innately apposed to the others. Fortunately for me when i set out on my path, i had left suburbia and was in a retirement community that was surrounded by hickville. An interesting juxtaposition. Retired business owners with nothing but free time and a desire to share and a community of redneck small business owners with much less education than me that were actually succeeding at running their own business -- something that scared the padoodles out of my suburbian corporate ladder climbing lackeys. So well said! I cant agree more. Perservere and remove the naysayers.

It sure puts the adversity and disappointments I've recently experienced in a very different perspective. One thing is true, If you think you can, you can. Kudos to you for setting the example and your son for standing over the obstacle (literally) and not letting it deter his journey. thanks so much for sharing this. The Universe knew I needed to learn a new lesson today. Are you signed up for the race this year? WOW! What an inspirational story.

As an entrepreneur for the last 40 years, I would say that persistence and dedication along with calculated risks have helped make me a success. Of course, learning from other people's experiences, books, seminars, home study courses and mastermind events are critical for business owners too. Love your work! Keep it up!

Not only your business sense, which you communicate very simply & clearly, but your writing style is compelling, too. I guess the most important gift to honor here is your obvious gift as a father & the principles you've instilled in your kids. That's really what it's all about; what is the most important thing we as parents can do in this life. All the Best, Steve Jeff, you truly have a gift!

Having just completed my first half-marathon, I know I would've quit if I hadn't committed to the outcome (registering BEFORE I began training and telling everybody I know about it) Set-backs are par for the course. Or, as you poignantly stated "sh*t happens." :) Great life lesson.

He spoke of his accident, his ongoing physical therapy and research he was subjecting himself to. After every senetence, he drew an audibly loud breath and continued with his story. An entire arena of 15,000 was silent as he spoke. After he finished to a standing ovation, he was wheeled off. Tony came back out and said, "how many people when they came here today thought THEY had a problem?" The crowd cheered and laughed. Most obstacles are in our mind!
