• Bottom Line: You can’t sell something you don’t believe
in!
• If you put a small value on yourself, rest assured the
world will not raise the price. If you want to become the
person you have the potential to be, you must believe
you can!
• I believe that you were created for a reason and purpose
• When you shift your thinking to focus on others rather
than yourself true success will be yours! Guarnateed!

– Bucket List Desires
• Answer the Why and the How and then execute!
…When a man has put a limit on what he
will do, he has put a limit on what he
can do.”
—Charles Schwab
WhatIf?
WhatIf?
What If?
What If?
What If?
• The choice to be all you can be is
clearly yours. I believe there exists
greatness in every one of you. Truly!
Why?
“Because I know when you operate as
you were designed, living out your true
purpose you are
NOT Just An Average Joe!”
Breakout Time
