"If the last day of my life came, and people were sitting around me, I would say ‘Smile, because I made it to the other side.’” - Ray Lewis

I constantly think about the fact that the only definite thing in this world is what we leave behind.

Money comes and goes, belongings eventually break or get thrown out, but what people say about you will never change.

This got me thinking about an amazing episode I did with Ray Lewis.

Ray has been leaving a legacy not just in football, but to the world.

On this 5 Minute Friday, we hear some of the most inspirational words about how anyone can leave a legacy and fulfilled life behind when they go on Episode 591.

Leave Your Legacy

I talk a lot about the concept of "the law of attraction" and how it relates to achieving what you want to happen in life - this little snippet talks about what that all really means and how you can relate it to your own life.&nbsp;

What The Law Of Attraction Really Means

Most people who want to be millionaires don't see the connection between today &amp; someday. Young kids don't think that killing it at their job at Burger King has anything to do with making millions in the future. Adults don't think how they cut their grass or wipe their @ss has anything to do with achieving their "dream life." The people who *actually* become wealthy are different. They recognize the link between now &amp; later &amp; they make every effort &amp; sacrifice RIGHT NOW. They die to live the good life!

Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, But Nobody Wants to Die, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO246

Most people talk about happiness as if it's this mystical, mysterious force that you have no control over. That is 1000 percent false. Like so many other things in this world, happiness is something you have to earn. It is the result of actions you take. In this episode, I drop two practical things you need to DO...two practical things everybody CAN do...to earn the right to be happy.

Two Things You Can Do Right Now To Be Happy, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO250

What does success look like? How does it make you feel? What can you contribute to make that happen? It’s questions like these that helped the CEO of Porsche take the company from near-bankruptcy to over 500% growth in just four years!

Great To Greater

In this episode, Karen and Cadie welcome their first show guest and he’s a bonafide restaurant, bar business guru, and local legend - Noell Broughton. Noell shares his business journey and gives his insights on buying an existing business, starting out from scratch, and all the trials and tribulations that go with business ownership. Plus, Karen and Cadie quiz him on delegating responsibilities, management style, training, and running multiple brands and locations. Any business owner and entrepreneur can learn a lot from Noell’s expertise and insights.  Key Takeaways &gt; There is a difference between starting a new business and buying an existing one and location. They both need speicific strategies, plans and resources. &gt; Hiring the right people you can trust and train is essential to your business and having the ability to delegate daily responsibilities so you can start working on your business, not in it. &gt; When running multiple businesses and locations, you need to be aware that you are sharing a proportional amount of time and attention with each company, division or location. Staff (and management) need to know that they are essential and one project or business is not more important than the other. &nbsp; Quotable Quotes: Starting a business from scratch, you have this yearning inside you that you wanna do something. - Noell Broughton When I see a place, and then sometimes I might not think it's right, but then I have this thought in my mind that says, "If I don't do it, somebody else is." - Noell Broughton  I've gotten to the point now where I don't do any hiring and firing. I have managers that do that, which, you know, takes all that personal load off of me. - Noell Broughton I waitressed in college, but I only lasted two and a half months. People are mean. I would be so nice. Somebody left me half of a dollar bill one time. - Cadie Gaut I love the functionality of a restaurant. I love being in it, I love being in the kitchen, being in the front. - Noell Broughton I write down everything I have to do every day. And, I put a star by it, I dot it when it's done. I check it when it's done, I dot it if I can carry it over the next day, and I've saved them. - Noell Broughton I'm a control freak, but I like to know where everything is and what's going on with it. Letting go was the hardest thing to do. Finding good people is key. - Noell Broughton It’s a proud moment when you see somebody that you've been working with, and you're trying to help them. You ask, where do you want to go, what you want to do, and then you help them get there, - Karen Simmons I judge them (employees) by their initiative. What are they doing on their own? If they're doing things without being told, they are definitely a keeper. Noell Broughton I love the push. People do better when they're pushed a little. - Karen Simmons You know, you're not gonna give just anybody the keys to the promised land and give them the opportunity to drive it into the ground. - Noell Broughton &nbsp; Wine of the episode:Rilasso&nbsp;- Montepulciano D'abruzzo Sponsor: Domke Market Learn more about Karen Simmons &amp; Cadie Gaut Karen C.
