DAY 30 - NO REST FOR THE WEARY!

After an exhausting trip to Mobile, Alabama, I am mentally and physically exhausted. Today I just took a moment to return some phone calls, send out some emails and blog. At some point I'm going to get some sleep and then unpack. I still have 2 speeches to write for The Sigma Conclave next week and then it's time to pack again and hit the road. "The road to success runs uphill, so don't expect to break any speed records!" ...AND THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT... But Who knows - Maybe it's… Continue

DAY 24 - IN THE "PLAY" - BUT I'M NOT PLAYING!

Today I hit the streets again in 104 degree Houston heat(Having a vision is an automatic cooler). Tonight I attended rehearsals for the Stage Play that I am in - THERE'S ONE IN EVERY FAMILY"(Heaven Ain't That Hard To Find!). When I am "onstage" - I am focused on the task at hand, but when I am "offstage" - I AM STILL FOCUSED ON MY GOAL! In between scenes and on the breaks - I'm promoting/selling - EASIER SAID THAN DONE! Is this multi-tasking?… Continue

DAY 23 - I WAS DROWNING IN A SEA OF "NO's" - UNTIL SOMEONE THREW ME A "YES" LIFE-LINE!

My morning was spent in "Rejection City". It seemed like everywhere I went and everyone that I asked to buy my book(EASIER SAID THAN DONE), see my vision and support the movement - said NO. Disappointed, but not discouraged - I was down for a minute, but not out for a second! I kept pounding the pavement and then the YESSSS started echoing like an Appalachian yodeler! YES! YES! YES! YES! - "It's often the last key on the ring that opens the door!"… Continue

DAY 19 - BUILDING A DREAM - STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHERS!

Today as I take time to celebrate - JUNETEENTH(The day that the slaves were notified of their freedom in Texas.) I can't help but reflect on how mentally enslaved a lot of people that I know still are. Although, the physical chains of slavery no longer exist, so many people are still living in slavery. Whether they are a slave to a job they hate. A slave to a bad relationship that they refuse to end. Or a slave to a dream that they are afraid to go after. The chains that bind the mind and… Continue

DAY 17 - READ A BOOK - EXPAND YOUR MIND - LIVE YOUR DREAM!

Tonight I had the pleasure of doing a Book Signing at a place that had a much younger crowd than I was accustomed to. There were a lot of young people in attendance, but very few were interested in "reading" or in buying a book. I became a little discouraged, not because I wasn't selling a lot of books, but because of the number of times I heard from Young Brothers and Sisters - "I DON'T READ"... hmmm So that started me to thinking about our mission to sell ONE MILLION BOOKS ACROSS AMERI… Continue

DAY 16 - DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE "B" in TCB!

Today I took the opportunity to catch-up on some overdue paperwork(They don't call it Show Business for nothing!). Since I started this goal, I had gotten behind and it was piling up(Send out emails, follow-up on some leads, look for new places to sell and promote, balance the books, update the websites and schedule guests for the radio show - WHEW I was getting behind.) . But, I never want to get so busy, that I can't pause a minute, just to say THANK YOU to all of the peop… Continue

DAY 15 - WORK - WHEN YOU'RE WORKING

Today was a very interesting day. Although I had to put my mission on pause for a second to help a friend move, I still found myself working my plan, while I was working. "The best way to solve your own problem is to help someone else solve his." Do you remember the line from the song - "Your body is here with me, but your mind is on the other side of town"? That's literally what I was experiencing. With each piece of furniture that I picked up with my hands, my mind grabbed hold o… Continue

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
