What if everyone else is right? This is a power though that helps me today to help me know what I should do, to help me get to know myself better, and to help me accept and understand those around me. In other words, this helps me to listen to others even if I do not believe in what they are saying. Thank you for taking the time to be here with me, and I appreciate your feedback!

A few simple rules for helping other people. I am guessing you are here with me because you're another person that wants to help those around them. I have found that it is good to have boundaries when helping others. In other words, it is important to know who you can help, and how much you can help them. I am thankful that these boundaries allow me to better serve the people in my life!

Today, I struggled with trying not to fix a family member. I was talking to my mom shortly before making this video, and she is very physically sick at the moment. A little while back she fell off of her horse, and she has been struggling through physical therapy ever since to recover. My first reaction to this has always been, why my mom? I already lost my dad, why does my mom have to suffer? I tried to console her and give her some insight in to what I do in similar circumstances, but this only angered her and she told me that there is no way I could know what she is feeling. In the past, this may have frustrated me, and today I am happy I can be a loving son to my mom. I thanked her multiple times for going through the pain and suffering to be here with me, today.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve, the fear of failure. Today, I recognize the fear of failure I have when trying new things, and this allows me to step through it. I just finished creating some videos to apply for the Facebook Ad Awards, and I made the mistake of looking up the previous year's winners. Last year, companies like Proctor & Gamble and Mercedes Benz were in the running for the awards, and this immediately made me feel small and insignificant. It made me question why I even trying to compete for the award. However, I immediately recognized what was happening and continued with my application. As an entrepreneur you have to embrace the fear of failure and I am thankful to have found success with my business, today.
