If you’re letting excuses hold you back from getting what you want, this video training with Sean Stephenson is exactly what you need.  Talk about an inspiring guy who kicks your excuses a kick in the butt!

Known as the 3 Foot Giant (because he’s literally only 3 feet tall), Sean Stephenson was supposed to die at birth.  Diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, he defied the odds simply by living.   Born with a condition that makes his bones as brittle as toothpicks, he endured more than 200 broken bones in his first several years of life. 

Sean has all the good ‘reasons’ in the world to be a victim, and have people feel sorry for him.  He was going to be taken care of by others for his entire life.

Until he decided that he wasn’t going to stand for that.

Sean is a true role model of the spirit of the human race, and he’s inspired millions of people around the world to Take a Stand, and get off their ‘but’.

In this remarkable and touching video, Sean reveals:

• How to keep moving forward, even against painful and frightening obstacles
• What we all share in common, regardless of who we are (and how to harness those commonalities)
• What it is that keeps us from achieving our dreams and desires
• Why connection is so important, and how to achieve it with those that matter to you

Sean’s presentation was one of the most popular sessions at the 4 day Engage Today event, and I’m pretty sure if you’ve never heard of him before, Sean’s going to be a new role model and mentor for you.

Watch the video, and then POST a comment – Sean will be reading these comments himself, so speak directly TO him and what you got out of this clip!

If you want to see what the future of business looks like, Tony Hsieh reveals how today’s greatest companies are truly combining passion with profits, and adding the 3rd key element — purpose.

As CEO of Zappos.com, Tony has led the company to $1 Billion dollars in annual sales, and placing it on the top lists of the most progressive and successful employers in the world.  In November 2009, Amazon purchased Zappos.com for approximately $928 Million dollars — but intends to leave the company operating as it is, because they’ve found such a powerful and successful formula.

And this isn’t Tony’s first success.  In 1996 (when he was 23 years old), he co-founded a company called LinkExchange that he sold to Microsoft 2 years later for $265 Million.  That led him to create a venture capital firm, which ultimately led him to meet the original founder of Zappos.com, and take an interest in the unusual business model of selling shoes via the internet.  That original concept became today’s online retailer juggernaut, Zappos.com.

Every entrepreneur should see this video, because it reveals how to create a GREAT company, regardless of its size, by focusing on what really matters.

Among other things, Tony reveals:

• His definition of brand, and why focusing on brand is the wrong approach
• His #1 priority at Zappos.com (and it ISN”T customer service)
• The reason why most business struggle to succeed (they’re focus on the wrong things)
• How you can instill a powerful culture into your business, regardless of its size
• The secret to their hiring process that brings them massive loyalty in their employees

Tony is a great example of the next-generation entrepreneur, and that there is a powerful future ahead for small business owners who dare to dream big, and remain focused on what matters to them.
