I was inspired after the fear video I posted that I want to share a few celebrity success stories that might help inspire you. There will be no video or link posted in this blog, it will just be me talking to anyone who reads this blog.
Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson is my favorite entertainer of all time. Before he found true success, Dwyane was a college football player. At his stint at the University of Miami, the Rock was injured and was forced to commit to the sideline. He would never see the NFL, so he headed up to Canada to play for the Candian Football League. He was cut from the team after 2 months during the regular season.
The Rock didn't back down and commit to being a failure. Instead, he made a new path which lead him to the UWA then to the WWF/E and changed the history of professional wrestling. Arguably the Rock is the best wrestler ever to grace the mat of the WWE. He is also one name on a very short list of non-white WWE champions. What you can learn from the Rock is that when one path closes, don't give up and make another path stick it and you will see your passion grow. If you ever face fear then simply stare it in the eyes and say "Just Bring It".
Walt Disney was the founder and creator behind one of the biggest companies in the world. His co-creation of Mickey Mouse is the most recognized character in the world. Before all of that, Disney had a few failed businesses and was even fired from a newspaper for not being creative.
He took a leap of faith and went to LA to start another business this one would last even long after his death. Disney built a legacy that no one can really touch as the man brought us so many animation classics.
What you can learn from him is commitment and legal knowledge. You have to be committed even if you fail, you have to try again and try again if you fail that time too. You must process legal knowledge as Disney lost his character Oswald the Rabbit due to some legal bs and had to start over. Even though he failed to keep that character he was able to create an even popular one. This is really good advice for 2016 as a lot of companies are butt hurt and really hunting down people for even featuring small clips of the companies product in YouTube videos.
For now I will just do two, if this can help you then I will do some more and even throw in stories about my failures and the reason why I don't have any success stories.
