Who are you listening to?

Are you listening to yourself? Well, maybe you shouldn't. That's if you're telling yourself your too old, too set in your ways or too financially strapped. Colonel Sanders was 65 when he introduced the masses to his world famous Kentucky fried chicken. Lily Ledbetter, now retired, was a devoted employee of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company when she discovered she was paid less because of her gender... became a household name after President Barack Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into Law guaranteeing equal pay for equal work without fear any kind of discrimination. Chris Gardner, a single father and the inspiration behind the movie, "In the Pursuit of Happyness" starring acclaimed actor Will Smith, rose from homelessness to become a self made millionaire and the founder/C.E.O of Gardner Rich and Company, a stock broker firm located in Chicago.

Are you listening to other people? Stop! Unless they are offering you encouragement, support and motivation.
