Prior to August 1 I worked hard towards reaching the various "unreachables" but ran out of time in receiving their responses. Since, the first time I posted I have received 2 more responses. Charlie Crist, Governor of Florida called me 2 days ago in response to 2 voice mail messages and an email I sent to him. In response to the questions, "what were your dreams and goals that helped lead you to where you are today?" and "what would you say are the main contributing factors to you reaching your goals?" he said, "I wanted to try to serve others and help the people of Florida" and the main contributing factors were "hard work, being tenacious, and having strong support from family and friends." I also received a nice letter from Jack Nicklaus. He said his “career goal was to always be the best-to always aspire to win…more important, however, is my goal to be the best husband, father and grandfather that I could be.” The main factors that contributed to his success on the golf course were “hard work, dedication, and the desire to be the best” as well as “a loving and supportive family.” I am still awaiting a reply from Shimon Peres. If you have seen the recent news, you will know that he has been extremely busy with all that is going on with the prime minister. But, when I receive a reply I will post it. I realize that all that I am posting is past the deadline, but I want to take this challenge to completion. I feel that it is important for myself to finish it.

Update

Mr. Ferriss,

I just wanted to give you an update on the contacts I have made. Prior to August 1 I worked hard towards reaching the various “unreachables” but ran out of time in receiving their responses. Since, the first time I posted I have received 2 more responses. Charlie Crist, Governor of Florida called me 2 days ago in response to 2 voice mail messages and an email I sent to him. In response to the questions, “what were your dreams and goals that helped lead you to where you are today?” and “what would you say are the main contributing factors to you reaching your goals?” he said, “I wanted to try to serve others and help the people of Florida” and the main contributing factors were “hard work, being tenacious, and having strong support from family and friends.”

I also received a nice letter from Jack Nicklaus.

I am still awaiting a reply from Shimon Peres. If you have seen the recent news, you will know that he has been extremely busy with all that is going on with the prime minister. But, when I receive a reply I will post it.

You mentioned getting into an Ivy league school and doing it without the grades. I would really like to know more to that story. You said you made cassettes to sell, but later destroyed them. In short, I put on sporting events for athletes to get "exposure" from college scouts. I do a talk called inside recruiting helping parents and athletes take control of their destiny of college. I live near Boulder, CO. If you are ever speaking near Denver, I would love to come and hear you. thanks Jerry Howard Tim,

What made the difference? I finally grew up and realized that people really do need people (for any hope of happiness in this world)! Think about it! Brie I now genuinely enjoy people after a lifetime of being “stuck-up”.

This is great. I personally personally don't like Clinton, but i think credibility and wisdom is really shown when we can learn from both those we don't like as well as those we do. Great post, very helpful, I'm definitely going to apply all these points to my life. Thanks Tim! This is great.
