There is an advantage to growing up in a humble setting with meager means. The reality of your circumstances can either pummel you into mediocrity or extract from you a burning desire to excel and rise above. My story is one of the latter. For the last three decades my hunger to rise above has yielded an impressive array of accomplishments. From multiple successful businesses to bodybuilding championships, radio, TV, stage, and print work to authoring 10 books; from an entire Sales and Personal Development series to speaking in front of many diverse audiences on different topics; all have uniquely qualified me to offer valuable knowledge, instruction, inspiration, and impact to those seeking to develop a higher and greater expression of themselves. Whether you are visiting my site for personal development, sales training, performance mentoring, or simply to be inspired, I welcome you and am thankful you have decided to take a look.

Check out Sims Distillery, Checkout his website and his Speakeasy Events and what a Speakeasy is !!! What would you achieve if you weren't afraid of being laughed at? In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite. In Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo's David, to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way. If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about. This guy loves his wife of 30 years, motorcycles, dogs and helping make a difference in others lives !!!

I am a 75 year old widow who published her first book at 73! I published another one the next year, this past March, and am now writing another. The first two books were on bipolar and the latest one is on loneliness. In the bipolar books, I teach people how to live with their disorder and make a decent life for themselves. My first book is called How to Live with Bipolar and the next one, which is more specialized, is called Bipolar 1 Rescue Plan. They are both selling well on Amazon. The first book is a question and answer book with 125 questions and answers taken from my over 800 answers on Quora. My next book is an in depth look at bipolar 1 which is very difficult to live with. The book I am writing now on loneliness is also a question and answer book taken from Quora. People seem to like that format as you can dip in at any place in the book. As for me, I have been 100% well for three years now on a medication called Vraylar. It is my wonder pill. It is wonderful to be free of the terrible highs and lows of bipolar. I have had three abusive marriages and my last husband committed suicide, so I have had a lot of trauma to contend with. The first few years after my husband's death were very lonely and I was ill most of the time, in and out of hospitals, but I am now coping well as I told you. I have traveled a great deal in my life and have lived in four countries. When my husband and I came to the States 30 years ago, we traveled around to all the States in an RV for six years. Then we bought another RV in Amsterdam and traveled around Europe for 6 months. I haven't been far lately, and have itchy feet again. I hope this will be of some help to you.

I talk about the importance of Relationships and Success and impacting others !!

I talk about the importance of just being YOU !!!
