5.5 Tips to Tap into Your Inner Hero
1. Get Out of Your Own Way
As Jay Stolar showed us, so many times we just have to get out of our own way. It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of a great idea. Or, even worse, we allow ourselves to give into beliefs that we’re not good enough.
That the people we admire are someone superhuman.
When the truth is, the world was made up by people that were no smarter than us and we can change it.
So, take a look at your actions and reactions and ask yourself, are you getting in your own way?
Stop getting in your own way and let your inner hero out.

Fundraisers, Are You Ready? Five Tips For a Successful Race Day Fundraising Event
Back in 1977, Billy Starr hopped on his bicycle and went for a ride. His mother had just died from melanoma and pushing the limits of the physical body helped Starr grieve the loss of his mother.

The Yet Mindset
My fingers were clenched and full of chalk. My right knee was turning black and blue. “I can’t climb it,” I said, barely audible, unaware that people were even listening.
“Yet,” said the little boy to my right. I looked over at him, wondering how long he’s been standing there. He continued, “Whenever you feel like you can’t do something, just add the word ‘yet’ to the sentence.”
And so I did what probably made me look like a madman.

10 Steps to Building Your Life on Purpose
I watched as my students picked up their cap and gown and carried it in their arms like a newborn baby. I smiled, said a few last words of encouragement, then asked, “You graduated… now what?”
Most talked about college. Many laughed about building a bonfire with their textbooks. Some just wanted to sleep.
What I realized is that for the first time in their lives, my students have a choice.

What I Learned from Launching 3 Podcasts (and how it helps find a deeper purpose)
It was 5am and I had already been cycling indoors for an hour. With two more hours to go for my triathlon training, I downloaded one podcast after another.
Listening to podcasts became my choice of infotainment during exercise, driving to work, and when working on tasks that didn’t require intricate thought.
