Secret to Success in Life

A friend in Denver recently wrote to me that the most valuable lesson he has learned is from Cavett Robert, founder of the National Speakers Association.

(I wonder how many people have even ever heard of Cavett Robert!)

In 1980-81 Joe moved to Phoenix to work for Cavett. His job was to book Cavett as a paid, professional, public speaker. Joe was to fill Cavett's schedule - five days a week, 23 days a month.

How old was Cavett at that time? 73!!!

Joe wrote that Cavett repeatedly told him and everyone at his seminars, "The secret to success in life is to find something that you enjoy doing so much that you would gladly do it for nothing ... and then get good enough at it that you actually get paid for it."

Are you enjoying what you do that much?
