Hear Ye, Hear Ye:
"It is your absolute responsibility to LIVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL."
No one can do it but you.
You are not alone in this quest.
The World is filled with Mentors, Educators and Teachers.
You are the seed that grows.
You are nurtured by those closest to you.
You drink the water, eat the food.
You are full of life, yet something distracts you.
It is this distraction that hinders you from your duty.
It is the fulfillment of others on this same promise.
They have reached higher than you. I am a failure.
In the eyes of the Universe there is no comparison.
There is no judgement.
You are on your own journey as they are on theirs.
There is no failure. There is no mistake.
Live your life. Go on your quest. That is why you are here.
What you do leaves a trail for others to follow.
Make your life your greatest adventure of all.
Do not be afraid of this responsibility.
There is nothing to fear at all.
You are where you are right now,
because you have chosen to be here.
Choose to be on the top of the mountain.
Choose to be with your true love.
Choose to be in counsel with your mentor.
Choose to be the provider for your family.
You are the best one for the job.
Take that responsibility and live up to your potential.
It is not only your goal, but your duty as a human. You were designed for it.
"Reach for the stars and let the Universe take care of the details"
Make this weekend an adventure to remember.
And then tell me about it.
As Always,
David Pyke - Your Goal Keeper!

What Retirement Plan?
One of your long term goals should be a retirement plan. The fact is that most of us don't plan for that. Or should I say "Plan Enough Money" for that.
If you want to life fairly well in your retirement years, you probably need about 5 million dollars (US) if you want to do it correctly.
WHAT??!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
No I'm not. You may live for a very long time. You may have financial challenges that arise from health and wellness issues. There is a whole myriad of stuff that can come up. Plus, you want to still enjoy your life in your retirement.
Retirement does not mean "I'm old and now I'll stay home and watch tv." Retirement means: To leave one's job and ceasing to work."
My Definition is: Ceasing to work for someone else and get on with living!"
I have friends that have retired in their 30's and 40's. Do you think they stay home? No Way! They wake up in the morning when they want to. Most of them don't keep track of the days of the week. They are off on adventures all around the globe. They are visiting family and friends. They have ideas and inventions they want to see come to life. It's an amazing thing.
Self Made Millionaires
These friends are all self made. They didn't get an inheritance. Nor were they geniuses or all college graduates.
They do all have one thing in common: REAL BIG GOALS.
They have the goals and the will to follow through with them. Many of them started out working for someone, but then decided to work for themselves in their own business. Working with mentors and a team, they did what needed to be done on a consistent daily basis.
They didn't listen to anyone who said NO.
You see they had mentors. Mentors who said "YES". Mentors who had done the work. Mentors who walk the path and have become great successes. Mentors who give the proper guidance for success.
And do you know what Mentors want most of all? They want their pupils to succeed. Be the next generation of success stories. For them to become mentors themselves and take on that role.
Did you know that the best Mentors around the globe have mentors also? Absolutely.
I recently befriended some new mentors of my own. They are very successful people. I enjoy working with them, talking to them and learning from them. Are they retired? Absolutely - that is, from traditional employment. They work for themselves Mentoring others. They have an incredible financial portfolio that allows them their freedom.
There's no retirement from living.
Live the adventure,
As always,

The Winning Team
I want to talk to you about the Wining Team.
What makes up a winning team?
• Strong Foundation
• A Mutual Goal
• Game Plan
• Open Communication
• Consistent Effort
• A Desire to Win
• Team Leaders and Mentors
• Experienced players
• Positive Motivation
• Support System
• Innovation
• Fun and enjoyable environment
• Celebration of Successes
This is the team that is rewarded with success. Not just once, but consistently. You see it all around you. Winning sports teams, many major companies, successful businesses. they all put these attributes to use in their organizations.
And the ones that don't, fail.
Doing it as a solo act is 100 times more difficult.
It can be a challenge getting on the right team. Sometimes you may feel stuck, working with others who do not share a common goal. Or working in a company where you feel like a number. And when that company fails, you get hit worst of all.
Many people have lost their jobs in recent months. Having a difficult time putting food on the table, making that mortgage payment. It's sad but true.
Their Teams have failed them. the Hundreds of Thousands who have lost their jobs is unthinkable. These are honest, hard working families who now have no where to go.
You may know some of these people, it may even be you.
--------------------------------------------
Now for the good news.
My team is reaching out to people like you who want to be a member of our winning organization.
I am currently looking for only 10 people to join us. You will be working directly with me and other team members on a consistent basis for the next 12 months. This is part time, 10-15 hours a week. This is your opportunity to create real change in your life.
This is not a quick decision, for you or for me. I am looking for serious team members that I can work with, and an as stated before, 10 is my magic number.
If you have interest in learning about my program, or would like to recommend someone, please send me your:
Name
Email Address
Phone
I will send you information on our program and discuss the options with you. If you are married, I would suggest that both of you review the information together.
At that point, we can make a mutual and informed decision to proceed.
Remember, I'm only accepting 10 people at this time so if you are serious about joining our winning team, do not pass this opportunity by.
I look forward to the conversation!
As always

Dinner in Hell's Kitchen!
I watch a show on TV called "Hell's Kitchen" with Chef Gordon Ramsay". It's a reality show about a group of up and coming chefs working their tails off to become the last one. Plus they get an opportunity to become a Head Chef at a glamourous hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
One of the contestants is Danny Veltri from Central Florida. (near where I live) Danny has worked his way into the final 2 spots. He works very hard, has confidence in what he does and understands how to play the game.
I recently tracked him down and he invited me and my daughter to stop in and say "hello" at his restaurant. (as you can imagine, the TV show was probably taped months ago).
I got to thinking about someone in his position.
A) If he wins he gets a bunch of money and a great job.
B) If he loses, he goes back to his regular job at his restaurant.
Right? Not necessarily.
I got a minute to speak with Danny at his restaurant and here is what I suggested to him:
"Hi Danny, Dave Pyke - great to meet you"
"I know you're busy with dinner service so I'll make it quick - I don't know whether you won or lost, but for me you have already won. You're in the public eye, people know you." He nodded in agreement. "You need to write a book ASAP. Put your experience of the show and your favorite recipes in it." He looked at me with a bit of a surprise. "Get the Chef to endorse it, and get yourself on Oprah and sell a million books. It's a win-win situation for you" That's a great idea he exclaimed....
_____________
The story here is that whether he wins the show or not, he still wins. He wins with experience, Of going for it. Making the effort to succeed. Many doors will open for him, not just the one in front of him (i.e. the show)
Take a look around yourself. There are Doors of Opportunity all around you. Open them all. Every one of them. Just like opening up a clam shell... one contains the pearl. You may have to open many of them until you find your pearl. It's out there. You'll find it.
Just like Danny who has many great opportunities to direct the course of his life, you do too. Keep opening the doors. Look around you 360°. Every opportunity will lead you somewhere. And that somewhere maybe just a bit better than where you are right now.
Go for it.

p.s. The dinner was delicious.
