Have you ever been so passionate about something that you can actually see it in your mind? It’s like baking a cake and envisioning people smiling as they get a slice. I have always believed that Passion is the key to success. 

Passion create innovation, passion creates vision and that’s the major key. 

When I opened up the Wesley Chapel in 2005 , I have a passion for helping the people in Wesley Chapel, gain their strength, their  mobility, their lives back through the skills that I had as a physical therapist. First day I open that place I had that passion. The problem is this, when I walked into place 2500 square foot  place no one’s there.

But because I had passion like I actually envisioned it. I saw the place being full like how it’s gonna be today. I saw it, I saw from 12 years ago. Because I had passion and I was able to translate that into...

I'm someone that is learning every single day. I think it was when I was 17 or 18, Patrick Hadley, one of my first mentors told me. “You can learn something from someone every single day.” There's something you can learn from someone every single day and that's what I try to do every time I meet people. 

I believe that most physical therapists start out with so much passion, and they want to shout their message with facts. But they don't realize that it is not effective, what's more effective is sharing your story. 

If you think you don’t have enough content, your story will help you with social media and that's what will help you with marketing. The more you talk about your story the more interested people are going to be. 

It’s your story and nobody can touch it.

The only way your story could be touched is if  you are not credible. You can never run...

I just celebrated Mother's Day with my wife and 4 kids... and during the day, I started to think about my role as a mentor. 

It has changed quite a bit over the past 4 years. I made a video explaining what has happened.  

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there. 

Win the "Time Game" so you can win in your career and life. 

I want to address the burnout issue. 

What is the #1 thing you need to understand about BURNOUT!!!

It's NOT REAL!!!!!

I want to tell you a story about my biz partner, Mike.

About 18 years ago, he used to market by going to high school football games and working the sidelines. Back then he just knew how to market and how to build relationships with people by going to high school football games and being on the sideline with physicians. He told me, “Sometimes it would be pouring rain, and he's out there just drenched...kinda sucked..."

He was doing this week after week after week.... month after month after month. If a player got hurt, then he would have like an emergency clinic on Saturday and do a quick assessment with the orthopedic surgeon.

He told me that when he was out there, he would have a vision of him going to Greece, which is where he's from. He'd have a vision of him being able to be in a situation in his business, where one day he would go to Greece. He said, “Sometimes I would daydream out there in the rain, that I was back in my homeland.” Pretty...

I always had the dream of teaching; I wanted to be a professor one day. That was my dream 17 years ago. So it's amusing because you never know where life is going to take you. I have zero desire to be a professor today, but I've always had a love for teaching.

It's amazing what technology has allowed me to do. I'm using my cell phone, pressing a button and using a platform that I paid $1,000 a year for, to host training and courses. One of the things that I always mention in my training is about social media and what are you doing with it? That's the big thing I want to tell you all today.

Technology... what are you doing with it?

Is technology using YOU or are YOU using technology?

I am using technology to broaden my reach, to help change a profession.

Is technology using you or are you just consuming information?  I tell this to my kids because they used to be on YouTube all damn day.

They followed my advice... and instead of watching other people all day, they are...

I live a life of abundance, meaning that the minute that I learn something, I say “Okay I learned that, now I have to share it with someone.” That’s how I live. 

I believe that God has put me on this earth, in the current position I'm in for a reason. I have resources to information, and I don’t think I’m supposed to hold that for myself.

Now conversely, some people don’t have that mindset. They are like “If I learn something, I’m keeping it for myself. If I learn something, I’m not sharing it, unless someone is paying me.

So how is this relevant? I think it is relevant for a couple of reasons. I believe in the field of physical therapy you rarely see collaboration. That's a problem... and it's hurting our field big time. 

I recently had an exclusive mastermind event, and there were three of us: Aaron Lebauer, Paul Gough, and myself.

...

I believe that every single one of you are like the Sun and you are meant to shine bright. You are meant to help others. You are meant to give to others. Whether that be you’re a physical therapist or you are a stay-at-home mom or a teacher. It really doesn’t matter.

In my eyes, your purpose on this earth is to shine bright on others.

I just believe that we’re all made to shine bright.

I hope you enjoy this video.
