00:00I go, where can I get some motivation or inspiration?
00:03And then it was a multi-level marketing company in the 70s that I heard about called Amway.
00:08A buddy of mine in high school became a distributor, and they gave me a book called The Possible
00:13Dream by Rich DeVos, who was the president of Amway Corporation.
00:17And I read it, and I thought, I want to hang around these guys.
00:20They can teach me how to become successful.
00:22Not that I wanted to become successful in the Amway business or multi-level marketing,
00:26but I wanted to associate with motivated, positive, inspired people and learn about success
00:31because these guys were driving Cadillacs and Rolls Royces.
00:34They had private jets when nobody had private jets.
00:36They had private jets, and they lived in mansions and all this stuff.
00:39And I thought, they know something I don't know.
00:42So I started learning from them, and one of the things that they were very adamant about
00:49is you have to have a big dream, but you can't live in a dream world.
00:56You have to dream big, but you can't be delusional.
00:59You have to dream big, though, but then you have to come back to today and say,
01:04what is the next logical step on the path toward that dream, and go to work.
01:11They were very focused about the two aspects of success, thinking or your attitude.
01:17As Zig Ziglar said, it's your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude in life.
01:21So they were very big on attitude, but most importantly, you have to then put forth action.
01:29You have to do something.
01:32So you have to combine those two, and that's like taking two chemicals and putting it into a beaker,
01:36and it explodes.
01:37If you have the right attitude with action, motivated, inspired action,
01:42you're going to get great results.
01:43If you have the right attitude, you're going to get great results.
