Mark Given spent twenty years trying to write a book before a chance lunch invitation led him to storyteller Don Greeson, who became his mentor. With Greeson's help, he finished his first book and has since written more. He argues most people lack a passionate plan, and urges listeners to recognize their chance to change the world.
I had spent 20 years trying to write a book, and I just couldn't get it out. I mean, I just, I started 5 different times. I actually wrote a book, well, not all of it, but that said, here was the name of the book, Everything I Needed to Know About Life I Learned in Boy Scouts, Everything Else I Wanted to Know I Learned from Girl Scouts. And my wife said, that's gonna be a million You should. I was doing a coaching session last year for a year with Beverly Hanks and Associates, and while I was there, there was a guy sitting in the front row every month when I got there. And after about 5 months, he came up to me. He actually took me to lunch, and he invited me to lunch, and he said, have you ever thought about writing a book? And I thought, yeah. And anyway, I met this guy named Don Greeson. That's him. He's the storyteller. Finished a book, got a second book done. The third book is already in the plannings, and I know there'll be a fourth book. Here's one of the messages in my Finding My Why, Ernie's Journey: A Tale for Seekers. It's lead with a passionate plan and success will follow. Most people don't even have a plan. They haven't even figured out how to get to a plan. God bless you for doing what you do, and I mean that with all my heart, because we, as Pollyanna as it may sound, We have an opportunity to change the world, and it's up to us if we do.
