[ WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATOR?] SUBMIT YOUR COMMENTS BELOW!

I spent all of my time and effort trying to build businesses since I was about 19. The common factor in all of my efforts was that the final goal was simply to make a ton of money. So, why did none of my ventures work? The answer is because MONEY can not motivate you on its own. I failed over and over. Trying new great ideas all the time, but nothing seemed to stick.

Everything changed for me when I realized that MONEY was not my motivator.

In 2004, I sat in a dark cubicle watching the clock tick. I watched and listened closely to the people around me. All I heard was ANGER, BLAME, JEALOUSY, ENVY…. and most of all, I heard over and over again that each worker had a BIGGER dream. They all had something that they really wanted to achieve and this current job was just temporary.

Well, my dream was to be home with my family. My dream was to be with wife and for us to raise our daughter together. I wanted to be there for Tatum everyday so she wouldn’t see me as a stranger, and so that we could share and enjoy life together. After all, spending 40 hours a week with a bunch of WHINERS and COMPLAINERS at the office is NOT what I signed up for. I wanted energy, passion, excitement. EVERYDAY. Now with 2 kids, and a truly wonderful loving wife, I have the ultimate motivation with me everyday.
I can sum up my ultimate goal and motivator in one single word… “TIME”

I sat down with Fox News earlier this week for a feature story that they will run later this week. We did an in studio shoot for the story on myself and the video series launching August 8th.

The people at FOX were excellent, and did a very professional shoot.  I was impressed, and I am sure it will be an excellent segment!  Thank you again to all who were involved.

As soon as I can get a copy of the broadcast, I will be sure to upload it to the thinkbigg blog.

Here are some photos from the Interview.
