Posted on17. Dec, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
Whether you are a fan of Will Smith or his movies, this is a powerful message. For me, when I look at Will’s body of work over the 2 decades or so that he has been performing…I find it incredibly impressive. From “Born and raise in Philadephia, PA…to Bagger Vance and Pursuit of Happyness – [...]

Posted on15. Oct, 2010 by Keith O'Brien.
Lesson 40 – The difference between massive success and totally busted is very little. It’s the small, positive things, done consistently that matter most.
