Have you ever felt like you’re not getting the support you need to succeed, especially from the people closest to you? Then you need to read every word of this interview with David Horvath. Co-creator of the globally successful Uglydoll brand. This is one of my all time favorite interviews. I have a lot of respect for how amazingly generous and open David is. He shares the struggles he faced and overcame to follow his childhood dream. A dream that, it seemed no one else wanted him to achieve. Read it, learn from it, take action on what you learn. And don’t ever let those who don’t have the courage to follow their own dreams, prevent you from following yours…

In this interview Angel talks with Cameron Shayne, Martial Arts & Yoga personal trainer to Hollywood celebrities like Courteney Cox Arquette & Jennifer Aniston.

I think Cameron’s style of following a practice where you become more connected to your body is an intelligent one. All too often we’re encouraged to punish ourselves into shape. But you can still challenge yourself, even through a martial art, without having to beat yourself up. Don’t miss this one.

Paul: After our post on making contact with your heroes the emails came thick and fast. “But it’s easy for you” they said. “No it isn’t” we replied. We get rejected all the time. Our precious egos worry about why we were rejected. It has taken us years to get some of our interviews. And when we do, we often ask dumb questions that seemed really clever at the time. But one of the main reasons we share what we’re doing, is to force ourselves to live what we are preaching. So the day we published the mentor article, I got out my list of people I’ve always wanted to interview but had been rejected by. I tried harder. Here’s the first interview from that list, with one of my heroes, Seth Godin…

The Community Of DONE.

community of DONE

Overheard, reasoned, planned, executed, DONE.

Here’s what I DID today. It doesn’t matter that this picture isn’t clear. The content isn’t important. What is important is that I did it. I started my day like most others, open to new ideas, fresh input, raw knowledge from the best, action oriented people I could find. I listened to their ideas. I studied their proof. I reasoned it out. Go / No go. I made a plan. I broke it down. I set-up a test. I took action. I got results…
