QUESTION – Can someone emerge from a hopeless situation and how do they do it?
ANSWER: Yes, absolutely. There are countless examples of this throughout history. One of the greatest discoveries I made in my research of the great entrepreneurs is that people could accomplish amazing, incredible things despite having the odds stacked against them. Thomas Edison, as a child, struggled a great deal in school and only attended for about three months. His teacher said he was mentally confused., and he went on to become one of the greatest inventors of our time and a good entrepreneur as well. Richard Branson, a multibillion-dollar entrepreneur with over three hundred and fifty companies under his control was a high school dropout, and he has dyslexia. Examples abound beyond entrepreneurialism… Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room cabin in rural Kentucky, lost his mother at the age of nine and was not close with his father, and he went on to become one of the greatest U.S. Presidents. Oprah Winfrey was born into poverty and was passed from family member to family member as she grew up. She was sexually abused at the age of 14 and became pregnant and delivered a son who only lived for two weeks, and yet she went on to become one of the most successful media stars in history.
The important take-away is that your past, your perceived weaknesses and your mistakes do not determine your future. You actually have the potential for an amazing future when you can take your past, your perceived weaknesses and mistakes and use those things in alignment with God’s plans to accomplish great things. The bible says that, “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…”. For many people though, it is very hard to disconnect the way they see themselves in light of their background and environment. In Do Great Things, I go to great lengths to expose this false paradigm and create awareness about what is possible in people’s lives.

I was recently asked to do a Q&A with my publisher (Deep River) in preparation for future interviews and media interaction, and so I am going to be posting those answers over the next several blogs.
The first question in the line-up…
QUESTION – Why are we so fascinated with people who have done great things?
ANSWER – I truly believe that we are all hard wired to do great things, and I believe it is this innate characteristic that God programmed in our DNA that attracts us to those who accomplish great things. Our hearts long for purpose and meaning, and I think when we witness others achieving greatness, we start to live vicariously through them. We sometimes silently picture ourselves in their place. The real truth is that we all have the potential and capability to do great things. It begins first with how we see ourselves in relation to God and then discovering what makes us unique. One amazing thing you find in the bible is that God almost always chooses the ordinary, average, seemingly unlikely person to do great things. It is so much more exciting to be on the field than on the sidelines, and my hope is that people will be inspired to stop living vicariously through others and start living out great things in their own lives.
