Luck is related to choices….
This is what Dan Kennedy said to me — “Luck is related to choices…” This totally made me hunker down and think about this very deep statement. You see I’ve believed in luck all my life, but I never thought it had anything to do with me and my choices. I always thought that the luck was simply about being in the right place at the right time, or maybe even silly as it seems, because I’m part Irish. I NEVER thought it was because of something I did.

Decide That You Will Succeed & Then Do it!
Sitting here in Dallas at the Glazer-Kennedy Superconference I’m reminded what success really is… In fact, I just heard Joan Rivers speak and then met her afterwards. What an inspiring woman. Not only is she funny, she’s also resilient and incredibly successful with her jewelry business. She has the biggest most successful jewelry business on television. The lesson I learned from her today is that she had many failures along the way, and lost her husband (he committed suicide) because of these failures. What I loved about Joan is that not only is she resilient, she always says a resounding “Yes” to her success. I love this because I’ve actually…
