Watch Out For Monkeys

Many people have had their dreams knocked out of them by dream crushers and idea killers.  Business professors Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad conducted a social experiment with a group of monkeys.  After watching this brief video you will understand what I mean when I say "Watch Out For Monkeys".

Killeen Texas! The Greatest Place Ever!

Did I mention that I hated Fort Valley?  Not that Fort Valley was a bad place but I never fit in.  I did not have a lot of friends growing up.  I was light skin with a cleft chin and my middle name was Lopez, so I was always asked if I was Mexican.  This was a small town in the south, so everyone was either black or white.  I was too light skin for some people and too dark for the other people.  I did not have birthday parties or sleepovers.  The only sport that my Gram would allow me to play until I got to Jr. High was baseball.  I was sheltered and a frankly I was a cry baby all through elementary school.   I was starting 6th grade which in Fort Valley was a part of Jr. High School.  This was a rough year for your boy!  My first day I remember thinking damn these some big ass kids.  I swear that entire 8th grade class was all on steroids.  I am talking about the girls too.  I was this quiet awkward kid trying to be cool, but I had no swagger at all.

"The American Dream".  I wanted to provide my audience with some useful tips that most people never really think about.  H.U.S.T.L.E. H = Hero U = Universe S = Servant Leadership T = Think L = Legendary E = Entrepreneurship There are a lot motivational speakers, coaches, bloggers, etc out there.  Anyone can read books and regurgitate memorized quotes but my goal is to actually train and teach .  I have broken down each segment into separate videos and will be uploading them over the next week.  The first video is my training on Heroes.  I hope you learn at least 1 thing from my H.U.S.T.L.E. series.    Hero : a person who is admired for great or brave a
