Imagine an idea so powerful that it produced billions of dollars every year, gave millions of people happiness every day, and became a culture unto itself? If you can’t imagine it, I’ll help you out: Disneyland.

Now imagine a movie that broke all rules and conventions which grossed more than any movie before or since and changed the world? Having trouble imagining? How about Star Wars.

How about serving more hamburgers and shakes than ever before and becoming the largest restaurant business in earth? okay, you guessed right . . . McDonalds. Wait until you hear the obstacles Ray Kroc overcame.

These visonaries were real people just like me and you. They used what they had to change their worlds and become monster successful. I wanted to see what makes people like this “tick” and I found out! Among other things I learned that each of these people suffered a gigantic rejection in their career. It didn’t stop them. Would you let that stop you?

Thoughts, visions, inventions like the ones these people had are what I’m interested in and I have written about them in a series of posts entitled: “Amazing Things.” Get ready for some real inspiration.
