This video fires me up BIG time. Although following your passion does NOT mean you will automatically become a success, there are far more AMAZING things said in this video that will truly hit home.
I think a power video is something we can ALL use. Sometimes you can't find like minded people to be surrounded by, and if that is the case, find a way to feed your mind empowering information, like this video.....

Here are some of my favorite quotes from this video:

3) The genius thing that we did, is that we didn't give up .... - Jay Z

The fact that if you have the heart you can do, overcome,build, or destroy anything you “choose” to! I choose to live my dream by helping coaching and training people to physical and financial fitness, but if I chose to I could fly a plane, build a bridge or design a house. I know I can because I am the only one that can stop me and I do not Quit!. I some times do things I don’t even want to just to make losers that said I couldn’t look stupid. I’m not smart,skilled,or special, but I will win every time. Why? Because I choose to!
In your life you will encounter more piles of shit than fields of flowers. Especially as an entrepreneur. So buy a big shovel!
When you find yourself and your passion there should be no one capable of stopping you. I know for me I have had a lot of raised eye brows, and silent, “What ever”. But I keep pushing forward. Some people can work for others. Mindless machines with structured days. I can’t! I have to be free to express myself.
We all have a special gift. It is only a few that are willing to be laughed at, made fun of, or beaten down that actually make it. We the few get to enjoy a life we have created instead of following.

Dustin,
when is yr opening? Keep us updated how its going.
Cheers
First week of June. Rogue equipment coming next week, and bringing my tires/gear from home. Late May a few pieces from Black Widow Training Gear (killer custom rack). Working on a few things leading up to June. Meeting with D3 school for strength training, and a few high schools. Otherwise, constantly moving and never giving up. Door shuts move on to the next. They will be begging to be part of this in the future.
Thanks for asking!
Dustin,
love hearing stories about people taking action and building something.
Big part why I think Zachs story and blog is so unique. He always comes back to those days and its a great source of information, inspiration and strength. Not only for him (obviously) but also for us because he spreads it.
Defining the odds and getting up again stirrs emotions in all of us and adds a sincerity and pureness that everybody can relate to who has been in similar situations.
Actually that is what makes us. If you haven’t been on the edge at least once you can’t really tell what life is all about. Nothing forges you as much as being there, done that and come back. This refers to all aspects of life.
Getting a bit philosophical right there, …
hahaha…
Its saturday, a great day with the sun up in a blue sky and I’m getting ready for a gruelling bikeride against my favorite hill. Cant wait to start sweating all over him and showing him my teeth. 😉
Cheers
This is awesome, Zach. Not giving up is so important. I’ve never been the smartest or most talented but what I do have is persistence. Walter Payton never ran out of bounds…if the D had him cornered, he lowered the helmet and hit back as they took him out, every time. Don’t go down without a fight, he always said, “Never Die Easy.”
Great blog post. Never giving up was one of the most important things in the video as well as being a part of that 1%. I choose to go after my dreams every day with the attitude of I’m just gonna work my ass off and believe in myself knowing that everything will take care of itself. I really like the part where it said something about how your life is a seed and all you can do is water it…and BELIEVE. Keep doing your thing.
Great vid!
Tons of quotes everybody should hang on their walls for a reminder.
Although its a bit out of context here’s a documentary about an incredibe athlete I watched a couple of days ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9x1Qx9_ThyM
Mikko is as humble, strong and down to earth as it gets. A man who definetly “lives the code”. This guy breaths “work ethic”.
He is a former athlete, turned professional firefighter, turned athlete again and now affiliate owner and distributor of Rogue equipment in Europe. He definetly “earned” his success story.
Its a bit long but gives a you nice look on the daily routine of this guy. The volume he handles is enormous! Some cool old school lifting pics in there too.
“I will never lie on my back. It’s a sign of weakness and surrender. Yeah, Never lying on my back!”
“I will never quit during workouts. Never. I might get slower, but I will never quit. It’s not an option for me to quit.”
“They’re just trying to break you up. That’s not a problem.” – during the 3 day Sealfit Challenge.
Here’s a nice workout from him – Underground style:

Hope you get something out of it, as I did. Have a nice weekend.
I think my biggest attribute for success is my stubbornness. There are a lot more people who are more talented than I am but they’re not willing to take a hit and keep going. “where focus goes energy flows”.
Zach,
Really loved the video man!
In my mind it all starts with a Why(passion), that inspires Action, as long as you keep growing your Why you have an opportunity to become successful. To many people try to follow others…..have your own why, and take action!
“Make Success A Fucking Must”
This shit got me all kinds of fired up.
Sick Zach, just sick!
Wow, I think by the end of the video I am ready to take on the world. Putting this one in my top favorites. and saving for a hard time.
Awesome video Z!!!!! I added it to my motivation folder on youtube… I watch videos over and over and get more from them each time…
So many people fail to train their mind to succeed. If you can’t visualize yourself achieving then you probably won’t.
