Win the Day

“The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.” — William Pollard

One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “How do I get motivated?”

It’s an excellent question.

When my motivation dips, it’s usually because it’s been a few days since I’ve caught up with someone who truly inspires me.

We all know those individuals — the ones who see possibilities where others see obstacles, who find that one compelling reason to act amidst a sea of doubts.

Their energy is contagious. Inspired, you can then channel it into your own creative pursuits.

One of the biggest thinkers I know is Mark Victor Hansen..

With partner Jack Canfield, Mark created Chicken Soup for the Soul, named “the publishing phenomenon of the decade” by Time Magazine. Mark has sold 500 million books in 54 languages, and licensed $1 billion in products.

He also holds a Guinness World Record for the most books on The New York Times Best Seller list at one time.

Today, Mark is the founder of the Mark Victor Hansen Library, a hybrid publishing company for authors who want to leave a legacy and make a difference in the world.

In this episode:

• How big thinking creates big results.

• Tips for aspiring authors who want their book to make a difference.

• Why most businesses fail.

• How to harness your unique gifts for massive abundance.
