Acton Hero: Ken Zolot



We need to be accountable to everyone and everything that we come in contact with. We can help everyone that we come in contact with and be reliable for people. Especially as entrepreneur's and job creators, we will have a chance to impact many people's lives! So we need to be ready to affect every life that we are given a chance to.

We need to make sure what we do is geared toward the people that care. We need to make sure that we are trying to attract a certain audience of people. If we do this then we can become successful! Find a solution to people's problems, and then success will follow!

Acton Hero: Desh Deshpande




This is an interesting guy. I learned from him that anything is possible no matter what you have to start. He moved to the United States with 8 dollars. Now he is worth billions of dollars! That is some of the greatest inspiration that I could ask for!

I know it won't be easy to be successful. Cases like Desh's are few and far between! But it is essential to remain optimistic as an entrepreneur. I love what he said, the it doesn't matter where you start, but you just have to start! We should NEVER take what we have for granted!

I can, and will achieve everything that I put my mind to!

Acton Hero: Paul Robshaw


Paul Robshaw was a successful real estate investor. But one day found himself hitting rock bottom and bankrupt. He didn't only go through bankruptcy, but at the same time he went through divorce. 

He founded a company called AIC Ventures. In which he helps small businesses find the value in their real estate and how to get the most out of it.

The thing I learned from Paul, was to DREAM BIG! He talked about his life action plan and how he still looks at it to accomplish it and adjust it all the time. It is important that we always try to find was to adjust and reach our life potential. 

Don't let the little things get you down! There are a lot worse things out there that could harm us, but don't let the little things be the things that cause you the most grief in life!

Acton Hero: Tom Monaghan


The above link is to the video about Tom Monaghan.

I really enjoyed this video and learning about Tom. Tom was the founder of Domino's Pizza. He was really wealthy, and in fact in the mid-80's Domino's was responsible for over 54% of the pizza delivery business. Tom has a lot of money, but after he almost hit rock bottom and was obsessed with worldly things, he decided that he was going to live life as a poor millionaire.

In some of his selfless endeavors he has started a university. Donated lost of money to great purposes. He even now lives in a dorm room on the campus of his university.

I learned that being happy doesn't come from worldly possession, but they come from being selfless and helping everyone around you accomplish the goals they wish to accomplish. That is actually why I want to be wealthy. Yes, it will be nice to not have to worry about money or anything. But the main reason it so I can help everyone around me accomplish what they want to accomplish. And I honestly think that is a great goal!

Acton Hero: Bruce Thompson

Bruce Thompson Biography

Above is the video about Bruce Thompson.

I loved this video about Bruce. He taught two principles about business and work that I really liked. The first was that it is important to make time for the important things in life. To me those things are family, friends, and my church. If I make time for those, I know all else will work out for the positive.

The second thing that he talked about was that BUSINESS IS FUN! I think it is important to make your work and job fun and to not get bound down by the requirements from your job. If you don't have fun, then your personal life will struggle and you will fail to be the person you want to be in life.

In closing, I think it is essential to be the person we truly want to be in life. By doing the two things I mentioned, I feel that myself, and each of you can live a very fulfilling life! The one that we each really want to live.
