John Bunyan, Fanny Crosby, Jim Elliot, Billy Graham, David Livingstone, Martin Luther, D.L. Moody, Samual Morris, John Newton, Charles Spurgeon, Corrie ten Boom, and Sojourner Truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are men and women who touched a world lost without hope. They brought the love of GOD when the world needed a message. These people have written books that have lasted for 100&#8217;s of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The written word has the power to change minds and hearts. Deep within us lies the heart of a mighty warrior.

You will know when you find your WHY. Meditate on these things SLOWLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buddies:<\/strong>\u00a0Whether it\u2019s your business partner, spouse, friend, or coach, you\u2019ll need people to bounce your ideas off of and talk things through with. Identify people who will challenge you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An open mind:<\/strong>\u00a0You can&#8217;t decide what the outcome is going to be before you even start. Your outcome is determined by time, people, and hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pixabay.com\/photo\/2017\/09\/01\/08\/02\/marketing-2703345__340.jpg\" alt=\"Marketing, Advertising, Propaganda\" width=\"412\" height=\"275\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In my life \u201cI do what I do so people can live full lives instead of just existing!\u201dMichael The Traveling Trucker is more than being a trucker.

Sharing good and bad times with my sweet bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing my blogs with the world, building my business with great mentors and coaches.
