For this episode, David is joined by Ken Rusk, who is the author of Blue Collar Cash. He is an advocate for people living a blue-collar life. Ken empowers them to achieve the happiness, peace, and freedom that they deserve. Something they can do whether they work for themselves or someone else. 

David and Ken discuss the importance of thinking big, taking action, visualization, and surrounding yourself with supportive people.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People tend to read a book and plan to take action but never get around to it.
• Plan big and plan ahead. Small consistent incremental steps enable you to achieve fantastic things.
• When you focus on something and see it in your head, your brain believes it is real and pushes your body to go get those things.
• If you believe it will never happen you will be proved right.
• Confidence is built upon evidence. When you recognize the positives and your achievements you build confidence.
• A degree is not the only way to have a successful, lucrative career.
• It’s never been easier to start a business.
• Don’t live to work. Work to live.
• Encourage your team members to be personally successful. When they win, you win.
• Give your employees a slice of the company’s success, so that they are personally invested in the business’ success.
• Hire ambitious people who want something extra out of life.

BEST MOMENTS
‘You have to think in terms of I must do this, not I want to do this.’

‘People wait for life to happen to them, instead of them happening to life.’

‘That brick wall that you hit is probably your own fault.’

‘If half of them hit those individual goals, your company is going to do really well.’

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
