My summary of "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

I went from dreading speaking in public to an eager excitement about the opportunity to speak in front of others.  I owe a great deal of that to reading "How To Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie for the first time at age 16.  

My father enrolled me in a 12-week "Public Speaking and Human Effectiv...

As part of my ongoing exercise in trimming and pruning my life, I spent the last 2 weeks prayerfully thinking about and writing down a Pro's and Con's list of the 18 things that I have been doing for work.  That process helped me narrow my work-life down to 5 main areas of focus.  And, I balance them with 1 main area of focus personally.  I share it all in this 3rd-to-last episode of the Courage Cast before my long 5-mont...

I've gotten so caught up in trimming, that I've forgotten to trim.  You heard me right - I take a taste of my own medicine, via my wife.   She hands me a doozy that really gets me thinking about the questions that help me to decide whether to trim something or not.

Do I have the TIME for it?
Do I have the TALENT for it?
Do I have the PASSION for it?

Author, Joshua Medcalf recently posted this on Twitter...

"None of us are getting out of here alive. The purpose of life is not to arrive safely at death or accrue the most titles, trophies, and treasures.  Live from a death bed perspective.
Be relentless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire."

Here's my response to this. 

I'm curious, what would you be, do or have if you...

Be generous with encouragement.  It is verbal sunshine.  It costs nothing, it warms hearts and enriches lives. - Nicky Gumble (The Bible in One Year)

1 Thessalonians 5:11 - "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

Two things to remember in life:

  1. Take care of your thoughts when you are alone.
  2. Take care of your words when you are with people.

The plan is simple:

  1. Pay off all BAD debt.
  2. Build a 3-month emergency fund.
  3. Open a Roth IRA
  4. Invest $500 a month (into the SPY - S&P500)
  5. Keep doing for 40 years.

Start early and this is enough to make you a millionaire.  

Assuming a 12% annual return rate compounded over 40 years, this would be worth $4,943,560.
