I remember this conversation clearly. When I was a kid my father pulled me aside and stated loud and clear...
"Son, you will spend two thirds of your waking life working. So you better figure out what you want to do...and it better be something you love doing."
I was 10 when he told me this wisdom. So I became an entrepreneur.
Fast forward 40+ years and I am astounded at the caliber of people I get to work with as a keynote speaker and business adviser. One such individual is Bruce Buffer, ring announcer for the UFC.
But how does an announcer create and build a $400 MILLION company? Listen in as Bruce shares with us his impassioned Journey to Success: Let's Get Ready To Rumble...
By the way: #Millennials, if you do not know who Steve McQueen was, here: Steve's Fan Site: http://stevemcqueen.com/
Hope you enjoyed this one...I did.
And as always, thanks for reading,
