Cornell Thomas is an international speaker, entrepreneur, author of 4 books, a former athlete, coach, and more importantly a husband and father. He has spoken all over the world sharing his story, and his purpose is to inspire and motivate others, urging them to no longer ask, “Why me?” in the face of adversity, but “What now?”. His mission is to change the world one book, one speech, and one quote at a time - and the great Tony Robbins said about him “Cornell Thomas is an up-and-coming thought leader that will inspire you to not only do more, but be more"!

 

Key takeaways:

 • On the other side of your pain is your purpose

 • From "why me?" to "what now?"

 • The power of positivity and our negativity bias

 • Your wealth is in the people that you know

 • Your purpose does not have to be a grandiose mission

 • Start and end your day saying "thank you"
