Kimanzi Consstable is a former bread delivery man, who authored several books as was able to quit the midnight deliverys and become his calling: an author and motivational speaker who no longer lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but rather one of Earth’s paradises.

You can also read his first article published by The Huffington Post, entitled “4 Ways to Live a Happier Life”.

Kimanzi’s Maui Conference in December, the “Work Hard, Play Hard Summit”. Are you ready to invest in your future, starting right now? Go to that site and see what the possibilities may bring!

Special thanks for this show goes out to Joel Boggess of the ReLaunch podcast. I was introduced to Kimanzi after Joel interviewed me for the The ReLaunch Show. Kimanzi was also a guest on The ReLaunch show. Listen to episode #55 (How He Doubled His Income: Kimanzi Constable)! (After listening to The ReLaunch Show, give them some great feedback on iTunes, okay? That is one of the most important acts you can do for a podcaster.)

Kimanzi’s books are all avaiable on Amazon.

Kimanzi also recommends “48 days to the Work You Love”, by Dan Miller.

Also mentioned on the show was John Lee Dumas and his podcast, Entrepreneur On Fire. (John’s interview will be released on August 4th!)

Almost everyone is a “regular” person. But some people are “extraordinary.” Kara Counard is regular, too, but she acts “as if” she is actually “extraordinary.”

We can all act “as if” we are successful and extraordinary. It is a choice. But in all honesty, it can be a difficult choice. And most people  don’t try.

I hope that you are one of the people who will try to act extraordinary.

Kara never sits still. She was working as a bartender, a Starbucks barrista, an appraisal service, a figure model for several art schools, and was a free-lance graphic design artist, all at the same time. Photography was not part of her life plan. She thought starting an Etsy store was her future. But she listened to her customers and in the process created a business–all because she filled the needs of her customers. She gave them what they wanted!

You can see more of her work at her website.

More Information on Kara’s “Day in the Life” sessions.

Information on her Honoring Elders project, and another article about that project is here.

Listen to Kara and her Women Over 90 exhibit on Wisconsin Public Radio and a YouTube video on the same project.

Watch her on WTMJ’s “The Morning Blend”.

She references the work of Father G and his Homeboy Industries.

It’s not always the person who was naturally gifted who wins. It’s not always the person with the best tools. Sometimes it is the person who refuses to quit, who faces the challenges and never surrenders.

But you also need to make sure that you are truly making progress. If you aren’t making any progress, maybe then you need to step back, critically assess your plan and make the necessary changes.

The old joke goes:

A teenager gets off the train in New York City, and as he leaves the station carrying his violin, he spots a police officer. Walking up to him, he asks, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?”

Without missing a beat, the officers says, “Practice, son, practice!”

Kelly Bucheger doesn’t live in New York City, but rather Buffalo, NY and he shows why success happens when you find your calling in ife and then never let anything become an obstacle in your path. He is a jazz saxaphonist and he shares how he found success in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, then left and moved to Buffalo where he knew no one, and rebuilt a successful career in performance and composing.

A few resources Kelly talked about:

James Carter Ruined My Life. is a 2011 post on his blog Harder Bop.

An interview with Kelly in Buffalo Sounds, from may 7, 2013.

Kelly posted this performance of “Say It Isn’t So” by his group What Would Mingus Do, from 2009.

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again!

And then, if you still don’t succeed, then what? Do you keep trying the same thing? I hope not. If it didn’t work the first three times, why do you think the fourth will be different.

Knowing when to keep going and when to pivot to a new direction is the key to success. Let’s talk about how to make that decision.

Leah is a magazine publisher from Florida who is also preparing to launch a podcast of her own. She has also worked hard as a fundraiser for various Zionist organizations, and in 1994, she had a crazy idea for a speaker. Her idea worked, far beyond her dreams. What was her idea and how did a smiley face help her? Listen and learn!

You can find Leah’s magazine, “Just Jew It” is available in the Apple iTunes store and soon on the Android store.

 

Leah’s recipe for her last meal:

Yellow Split Pea Dahl

Ingredients (use organic where possible):

300g yellow split peas (soaked for 12 hours)

1 onion finely chopped

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, chopped

3 leeks or 2 courgettes, chopped (depending on the season)

600ml (approximately 20 ounces or 2.5 cups) vegetable stock

1 tbs cumin powder (adjust to taste – I actually like a lot)

2 tsp turmeric (adjust to taste)

1 bay leaf

Pink Himalayan or sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat some virgin olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic, until the onion is tender.
2. Add the carrots and the leeks/courgettes and sauté a few minutes more.
3. Add the split peas, vegetable stock and bay leaf and bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered for about an hour, or until the peas are tender.
4. Remove the bay leaf and add the spices and season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve with brown rice and broccoli.
6. Make double and you can blend this and eat it as a soup.

Yum!
