Morning Motivator - Wear the Blue Collar

"A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him."
- David Brinkley, submitted by Arlene Raines

First, I must apologize to all my Star Wars fans for missing yesterday's acknowledgment of Yoda's quote. I am truly sorry Keith, James, Kim, Jody and all the others.

As for today's Morning Motivator, I was sent this and found it to be very IMPACTFUL. As LEADERS we are often on the "bleeding edge of change." We are the ones that are LAUGHED at in meetings, told that our ideas will NEVER work and are often talked about by others for the ACTIONS that we so passionately pursue. Yet, we are the ones that ACTUALLY make things happen...

It is the WORK ETHIC and RESILIENCE of a blue collar success story that drives the LEADER to achieve greatness. It is your WILLINGNESS to cast aside the pessimism of others and find the strength to BUILD UP your dreams into a tangible reality. It is our DUTY to build a LEGACY on the bricks cast at upon us.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
When asked why I make some "occasionally controversial" comments, I often reply by saying, "I may not even believe what I ask, I simply want someone to ask the question everyone else is afraid to." We all have a responsibility to PUSH the comfort zone.

This is the resolve we must all take in our LEADERSHIP. We must be willing to STAND UP for our passions, believe in our own ABILITIES and most importantly, see that others allow us the OPPORTUNITIES to positively change their life/business/personal dreams!

Be the CHANGE MAKER! Drive your AMBITIONS! Do NOT let anyone get in the way of your SUCCESS!

Cheers,
Zach
