Never Give Up
This weekend I was shown a YouTube video of Mike Yung, a very talented
50+ year old Subway Singer. It felt very relevant as I'm re-examining and setting my goals for the next 15 years.
Mike Yung had
been featured on America’s got talent and made it to the semi-final. Everyone thought he’d have a record deal
before the program ended. However, according to interviews with Mike the
record executives consistently turned him away and politely gave him the feedback –
“You’re too old”. I don’t want to dwell
on age and neither did Mike. It’s not the primary thing of importance
when looking at talent or goal setting. Is age relevant when setting goals? Well sure, but let's focus back on fulfilling ones dreams and
aspirations. The idea of setting a goal
and working toward it, even if others around you say that it can’t be done. There's always a way to find a yes. I've always looked at the answer “no” as my customer's way of saying “no not
that way…” In marketing or sales you have to look for the yes in the pile of no. Perhaps that's true of life in general.

Take a look at Mike Yung's Kick
Start project. I think you’ll find it
inspirational. Never Give Up.
