It takes one persons dream + a mountain of ambition + a heap of action and you can make something happen for yourself.
Gerard Spinks Atlanta Car Show
It takes one persons dream + a mountain of ambition + a heap of action and you can make something happen for yourself. You don’t need a ton of people or a great family upbringing to be successful. You need yourself, faith, ambition, talent, and action every single day to be the success that you seek. You must have vision and belief in order to even get started. Visualize where you want to be and then put together a plan to make it happen. It may take a few years so you also need hope, prayer, and a lot of patience mixed in with this to truly see it through.
At all costs, you should NEVER give up. I recently spoke to a family member who at 40 years of age decided he was too old to keep pushing and grinding because he has a family now. This is nonsense. If you believe in YOU, you will pursue your dream regardless of any obstacle. Keep it moving!

It’s now time to do it. Open up a Microsoft Word document. If you don’t have Word, grab a tablet. Write down your overall goal. Name it. Now, spend the next 2-3 days writing down steps that you are going to take to achieve this plan.
Believe in Yourself
Planning for success and wealth starts with creating a one-page document that details how you will get to the goal and achieve the goal that you have. Generating any type of wealth is about planning and executing, rinse and repeat. You must create the plan and then execute on the plan until the actual end result is achieved. You cannot stop until your desired end result is accomplished. If you stop, no one else will help you achieve and reach this goal. It’s your goal. No one else will feel compelled to push your dream and goal beside you.
There will be many obstacles along your path to achieving your dream. It’s not about negativity but this is just the real part of life. People can’t help but to not believe in your dream because they can’t believe in their own dream. It will not only be people that will try to stop your dream but there will also be conditions beyond your control that will stop your dream such as the current great depression.
We must learn to not let any conditions stop us from working our dream and our plan. These are momentary setbacks regardless of how tough they are. Put the setback into perspective and lay low for a little while until you can pick your dream back up. Don’t abandon it. Just put it on the back burner for a minute. When things improve, pick it back up and keep going.
I have been through a relationship breakup, an eviction, a loss of corporate contracts, having a trusted source let me go from a position where I was doing a great job at, company outsourcing, and many other events including the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in New York. These events made me want to stop pursuing my dream but I kept plugging away at it until I was able to achieve it. Even though all kinds of things may seem messed up, I’ve written down the goal and the plan. I have to execute the plan regardless of all this messed up stuff that is happening on the planet and this huge recession that our economy is underneath. We cannot stop until we reach our dreams.
It’s now time to do it. Open up a Microsoft Word document. If you don’t have Word, grab a tablet. Write down your overall goal. Name it. Now, spend the next 2-3 days writing down steps that you are going to take to achieve this plan. Be easy and don’t make a plan that is unrealistic. Make it achievable and write it so that you can reach it without needing someone else to help you right away.

Not sure what this means but my mother used to say it sometimes during highly stressful situations. I believe that it means she felt like she was stuck in a rut and is having a difficult time winning in life. Ok. I can feel that. It’s time to change the mentals. How about this: I [...]
Not sure what this means but my mother used to say it sometimes during highly stressful situations. I believe that it means she felt like she was stuck in a rut and is having a difficult time winning in life. Ok. I can feel that. It’s time to change the mentals. How about this: I can’t lose for winning!
Time to switch up the game by switching up the thoughts, words, and actions that we partake in each and every day. I can’t and won’t lose because winning is all I think about and perceive of myself. There ya go. Tag, you’re it!

Brett Favre has done a wonderful thing for America. He epitomizes success, comebacks and working through adversity when no one believes in you anymore. I love this story of triumph because Brett proved that you can defy age or any negative thing that humans put on you.
People always typically can only see what is in front of them. Most humans can never see what’s inside your heart. Favre proves that with true heart you can do anything and achieve anything within reason. You just have to know your own limits, your own capabilities, your own strengths, and most importantly, your own weaknesses. This is what we should all learn from Brett Favre in this victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, he can still play. Yes, he could do it again. No, he doesn’t live up to any one else’s limits placed upon him. Neither do I. Neither should you.

I was just talking to my 7 year old daughter who has an upcoming spelling bee and test. She was getting a little tense and forgetting some of the bigger words. It reminded me of real life. I told her that she really needed to relax in order to get success. Tension never brings success. [...]
I was just talking to my 7 year old daughter who has an upcoming spelling bee and test. She was getting a little tense and forgetting some of the bigger words. It reminded me of real life. I told her that she really needed to relax in order to get success. Tension never brings success. Because she’s an avid reader which improves her vocabulary, I know those words are emblazoned on her brain as a mental picture. Relaxation will allow her to recall those letters as she relaxes. The more tense she gets, the further away these letters move away from her memory.
This mirrors our lives today. Relax in order to achieve success. You will never win and progress with tension and stress. Learn to conquer stress and this is the key to success.

I think we’ve all witnessed over the last 5 years that God is in charge. Not humans. God runs this world. Not some rapper, some politician, some ego maniac boss. God rules. Not you, not me, not your boss, not your negative situation. Keep moving. You are somebody!
Here’s what to do. First of all, who cares about their opinion. People’s ego’s and money falsely lead them to believe that they can ruin other people. No one can ruin you and make your name terrible. The only real power and authority to do this type of thing is God and God only wants you to succeed.
Gerard Spinks' child - Keep Dreamin!
If you run into anyone who says they have the power to stop you from succeeding in any industry; music, sports, film, television, technology, newspapers, publishing, etc, they can’t. I don’t care if they are Warren Buffett. He cannot ruin you. The secret lies in a little belief system. Do you and your mind believe your ears? Do you secretly believe what that person said? Somewhere inside of you is an inner voice. When someone has a negative experience with you and then claims they will ruin you and that you are horrible, this inner voice is triggered and starts speaking with your mind.
This voice typically is built and developed during childhood and remembers what your parents/teachers etc said when you were 7-11 years old. This inner voice/thought must be changed. When someone says that you’re worthless, don’t believe them. Believe God first and believe in your ability second. You don’t have to own what they think of you even if a negative situation occurred between two people.
I think we’ve all witnessed over the last 5 years that God is in charge. Not humans. God runs this world. Not some rapper, some politician, some ego maniac boss. God rules. Not you, not me, not your boss, not your negative situation. Keep moving. You are somebody!
