Wise Words Wednesdays: Tony A Gaskins Jr.

Takeaway quotes:

• "Mistakes make us.  Let your pain become your purpose; your mess become you message."
• "Be relentless.  Let fear push you instead of cripple you."
• "Make it as simple as possible but not one bit simpler."
• Defining success:  "Creating something that will impact the people, which is fulfilling purpose.  So success is when you tap into your purpose and your purpose is connected to service."
• "Success isn't about money.  It isn't about riches.  It isn't about fame.  It's about living your purpose."
• "If you want to be a leader you have to be consistent."

Expect Greatness.

It was the coolest thing.  A few weeks back I met with a prospective client to figure out whether they would be a good fit for the Muscle Activation Techniques™ process.  This person didn't presently have any physical complaints but had experienced some issues in the recent past that allowed them to realize just how much they wanted to keep up their currently active lifestyle for as long as possible.
