Thank you for the encouragement. I started doing your “homework for life” after hearing you talk about it and have already found it incredibly rewarding. Just picked up your book, too. Thanks for all that you do!
Good stuff, Derek. I did a version of this when I was younger. Figured if I behaved the opposite of how my stepdads went through life (and my Dad in some ways); I'd turn out OK.
Mostly worked :)
I feel your story pain. I . . . what's the word, suck, that's the one, at story. The osmosis of surrounding my bed with Storybrand, Stories Sell, One Red Thread, etc. ISN'T HAPPENING. Guess I'll have to read them.
It's amazing what shapes us, the good and the bad. Some of the strongest role models we'll ever have are the examples that come to mind when we think of what not to do.
As for stories... THEY'RE HARD. But I'm working on it! And the thing about surrounding yourself with stuff you know is good for you, is that eventually you'll use it
Well, I conservatively have about 2500 books in my house, but, yeah, I'll get to the story ones before the end of this year/early next year. And, yeah, so. freaking. hard.
For sure about role models, was watching MASH episodes on YouTube over the weekend and realized I modeled some of my "be a man" "stuff" on Hawkeye.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m rooting for you to succeed beyond your wildest imagination!
