Entrepreneurs/Motivation

The old classic that still applies to this day. Famed author Napoleon Hill interviewed some of the most successful men of all time including Andrew Carnegie and Theodore Roosevelt. He then wrote a book endorsed by Ford, Edison, and Rockefeller compiling what he believes are the universal habits of success.

Don’t be a FOOL when it comes to ringing in the ears from rocking out. Protect your hearing at all costs and sleep well at night knowing you might hear your own kids jam some day. Find recommendations on the best musician’s earplugs to prevent hearing loss but still feel the rock.
Discipline
Challenges you to form life-changing habits over the course of 30 days. It’s 10 friggin’ bucks. If you go to the supermarket and buy 3 bags of Doritos, or buy 2 fancy beers at a bar, you could easily blow that much. Spend your cash on something that actually benefits your life and career.

This guy snuck into 33 straight Super Bowls.
Yeah, that’s him carrying Tom Landry off the field…
You think that’s impressive?
For those of you who would rather sneak in than buy a ticket, this book is a must read. I snuck onto a film set and got a job working with Mark Wahlberg. I’ve pulled a few concert backstage sneaks… and even said a few words to Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead.
You’ve never felt a pulse unless you’ve attempted some of these gags…
