Who or what inspires you?

16 years ago

thinking about having my bills being paid as i give value to others over the Internet, while i pretend in my mind that I am unemployed and have all the free time in the world.... to travel... to create art.... to rest... to do.. whatever!

that inspires me, definitely.

Thanks

Hey, Ryan:
My daughter, Tiffany Dow, inspires me.
I've watched her for a long time in this business and I've watched her navigate the pitfalls -- but her determination was strong and she succeeded.
She gives me hope and confidence that I, too, can become a success.
And, she did all this while raising my three beautiful grandchildren!
I love this particular forum and glad you gave me the chance to reply to this question. I'll be watching to see what others say.
Beverly G.
- Thanks

The first people that I found to be inspirational were Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale. I remember when I was a small child listening to "The Strangest Secret" by Earl. I listened to it every night before drifting off to sleep. I would get a sudden boost by listening to it and believing that anything was possible.

Earl led me to Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich" and over the years I have read and re-read that book wearing out several copies.

I still listen to and read both these classics, I can't recommend it enough.

Thanks

Robert Kiyosaki inspires me.After I read his "Rich Dad,Poor Dad",it creates a new me and he is telling a story what is going to happen if i stick to my job i am working.He made me think so far that I have already plan to retire.That idea excites me and triggers the "how" mindset to work towards my retirement.

Anthony Robbins is another inspiring figure whom i hope to become.He lives a fulfilling life helping other.That is why I am doing a blog to help people to motivate and strive to achieve greatness and success.

Great post ryan.

My parents. not in the way that i want to follow in their footsteps but in the way that they always supported me in anything i did. they pushed me to my limits and new levels. they wouldn't let me quit just cause it was hard. they were always there to pick me up when i had failed, got hurt or was let down by another or myself. and no matter what obstacles were in the way they always find a way to help me achieve my dreams.

My grandfather will be 97 this year and he is the most active person I know. Last year he cleared an acre of land of weeds, trees and rocks all by himself by hand. He also was up on the roof replacing shingles and tarring the roof.

He’s been like this all my life, always doing something and keeping busy. He inspires me and more!

Awesome thread.

Tim Ferriss - Because he challenges the status quo and finds highly effective alternative approaches to things most of us believe there is only one way to approach.

Tony Robbins - I learned a lot from Tony about thinking in systems, mental conditioning and tons more.

All Entrepreneurs! - I love it when people decide to get out of the stimulus response status quo conditioning and start navigating their lives. Watching entrepreneurs do their business fuels me. That's why this place rocks!

Eben Pagan - Highly effective dude, great products, awesome POINTS, great approach (beyond the products), very actionable data.

That's it for now! (There are tons more)

I guess what inspires me is how short our life is. There's really no time to waste, to squander away over little things, over daily things. So, i need to be productive to carry out my life / divine mission as soon and as much as I can, as well as to savor what life is offering every day. Therefore, when i choose to look at things or people with this 'rose tainted glasses', i will feel inspired.

I have had a chance to go through many of their programs/courses/content and that is really life changing. Mind Power by John Kehoe had made a great impact on my thinking too! For the historians, I love Robert Bruce, the braveheart, Prabhakaran, Che Guevara who all had fought for their homeland. Extreme Dedication. Lessons to Learn!
