People always ask me what is. a mastermind. Some people do not know what it means. Let me tell you what it means.
It is a community taking care of its own - helping, supporting and pouring to each other especially on trying times. It is about giving back. It is about watching each other's back.
Get into a community if you are not yet into one. I'd like to encourage you to to that!

The priority should be family first before business. Do not focus and chase money but ending up alone. It would be sad to come home with a pocket full of money to a house full of strangers.

I want to challenge you today about something important!
My good friend Dan Miller encouraged me 14 years ago to turn off the news. I said, "there's no way I will turn off the news! I won't appear to be an upstanding citizen-somebody who's informed!"
But looking back now, I can't thank him enough for encouraging me to do that and I promise you I've had a lot better moments as a result of not having watched the news and I haven't missed anything! I want to extend the challenge. Try it for 30 days. I promise you, it will change your life!

You have to get out of your comfort zone when you’re dealing with anybody. Those people are no more special or different than you. And let me give you a little tip, those people want you to approach them. Who would they be without you? They would be nothing without your fanfare. They would be nothing without you buying their products. Those people would be absolutely nothing. And I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone. Go up and meet those people!

We're helping ordinary men to become extraordinary by living a life of Success and Significance at www.viewfromthetop.com.
I am excited with what February can bring!
During my quiet time this morning, I remember my post two years ago about "The Empty Chair" and it made me sad. In my den, there are two recliners, one for me and one for Robin. This is where we hang out and do life together. But one day, one of those recliners will be empty, one of us will be gone. I know that's pretty sad. The truth is, we're going to have horrific regrets or unbelievable memories, one or the other. It doesn't just apply to marriage but to every facet of life, every person we encounter.
One of our mastermind guys is dealing with bitterness. He can't let it go. Believe me I know exactly what it is. A guy did me very wrong that I wanted to shoot him. I hated that guy. I didn't want anything to do with him. But six months ago, I went to him and I hugged him. And I told him 'I love you and I am sorry." I had to let it go because I was the only one being held captive, I was the only one being harmed. I was cheating my family because I was disallowing Robin to live the kind of life because I got bitterness harbored in me.
Guys, some of you, today, you need to hug somebody and tell them you love them and you're sorry. If you can't do that, confess it to somebody else and let it go. It squelches everything in you. We only got one life. We don't get a do over. Get rid of that stuff. You say, they don't deserve it! Well, it's called grace. It's things that people don't deserve but are given to them.
Listen, when you quit demanding justice you will know you have forgiven somebody. When you get bitterness out of your life, you will have a joy that I can't even begin to tell you what could transpire. It will change your life.
Today, let it go! Share this message to your family as some of them needs to hear it.
