48 Who Do You Think You Are?
What I discovered was as I did certain things, all of a sudden everything
else came into alignment. When you are doing the right thing, the align-
ment happens automatically for you. If you’re not in sync with every-
thing around you it doesn’t happen.
As we go through this process of discovering what we want to
do, we need to be aware of what is around us. Meaning, when we take a
certain action what is the end result? If we take the right action, all of the
rest seems to fall right into place for us. For example, for a long time,
even as I built a successful Internet marketing business, I knew that I
wanted to talk more about the aspects of a person becoming successful.
It’s not just our technical abilities that we utilize on a day-to-day basis.
What I wanted to talk about was the mindset of success and how success
actually happens.
I took a big step. I made the decision to speak on the topic of

definitely my purpose. Many people have said this but I believe it bears
repeating: When the student is ready the master will appear. Hopefully, I
can be that person teaching those people and appear at the right time in
their life, and they can learn from what I’ve done and from the mistakes
I have made.
What event or series of events led to your discovery?
I don’t think it was a specific event. It was a quest. I believe everybody
has what they call a “vision quest.” Everyone has one, but they don’t
always realize that they do.
I was always in search of what everyone else was in search of,
meaning, I wanted the life of success. What was that? How did I define
it? Actually, I am still in quest of that. That may seem strange coming
from me. I have many things that people would certainly want to have: a
