Chapters

My mom on this portable television set was watching Les Brown. And the message he was giving that day was, you can change your surroundings and if you shoot for the moon because even if you miss, you'll land among stars. And I told my mom I was gonna make that change, that moment, that day. I was gonna make the change happen. And my mom put her arms around me and I said, mom, I'm gonna shoot for the moon because even if I miss, I'll land among the stars. And my mom patted me on my back and she whispered in my ear, she said, baby, don't miss. And that day, Dec.24, 1988, a 10 year old boy took his last breath. And from the ashes rose a man. And I stand before you as that man who 35 years later sold one business for $15 million at the age of 30 years. The biggest challenge that we all have is our mindset. You can't change your mindset unless you are wholeheartedly willing to destroy the mindset that came before you. Sam.
