On this episode we talk with a man by the name Terry Tucker. Terry shares a very unique story with us about the life struggles he is going through, but also how to help work through them if you get in that same spot. Do we 3 agree or do we think otherwise. Listen to the end and get our Deciding Factor!Terry Tucker bio:Terry Tucker has been an NCAA Division I college basketball player, a Citadel cadet, a marketing executive, a hospital administrator, an undercover narcotics investigator, a SWAT Team Hostage Negotiator, a high school basketball coach, a business owner, a motivational speaker, an author, and for the past nine years, a cancer warrior. He and his wife have lived all over the United States and currently reside in Colorado with their daughter and Wheaten Terrier, Maggie. In 2019, Terry started the website, Motivational Check to help others find and lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives  Terry Tucker believes everyone is born to lead an uncommon and  extraordinary life and that has nothing to do with where you work, how much  money you make or where you live. We are not all born with the same gifts  and talents, but we all have the ability to become the best person we are  capable of becoming. But how do you achieve this remarkable life in an age  where everyone seems to just get by? In this book, Terry answers the three  basic questions that will lead you to your best life, "What is excellence, how  do you achieve it, and most importantly, how do you sustain it?"  The ten principles outlined in this book will provide you with the bedrock  necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated  behaviors that will guide you to your uncommon and extraordinary life.  These principles will reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you  must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome to achieve and  maintain excellence. Do you have what it takes to apply these principles to  lead your uncommon and extraordinary life? Check out his links:www.motivationalcheck.comwww.linkedin.com/in/terry-tucker-9b5605179/www.facebook.com/motivationalcheckwww.mobile.twitter.com/terrytucker2012Make sure to share your thoughts on here and our social media.
