I’ve always been fascinated by this guy.
He dreamed of becoming the world’s greatest bodybuilder.
Did it.
He decided to become a high-paid movie star … even though he didn’t speak the best English at the time.
Did it.
Then he said, hey, I guess I’ll be the Governor of California now.
Done.
Love him or not, Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the best examples you’ll ever find when it comes to the power of setting goals and having a vision.
At the beginning of each year, he wrote his goals down on index cards, held the image in his mind, took action with enthusiasm, and achieved exactly what he set out to do.
This stuff works.
Today on the podcast, Arnold shares his personal story of stumbling upon his vision and doing whatever it took, with joy and enthusiasm, to make it come true.

I can thoroughly related to everything Arnold says. I had to prepare for college, I first needed job to pay for it. God gave me a vision rather early in life. I knew where I was going but my parents were a HUGE OBSTACLE in my life. I had to stumble out of their life to begin my own. No girls in the family had dreams of going anywhere in life; I was the first. Later, I learned how important it is to move along with your class because I was in classrooms flying with chickens NOT eagles. They were married w/children so on break that’s what they talked about, a lot of them dropped out when the going got tough to go back to their soul provider, the husband, instead of using the last bit of hope to get thru. Planned activities of make scrap books of their kids after school instead of STUDY GROUPS. Later, I realized The college instructor only recruited MOTHERS WITH KIDS so she could teach swimming lessons after school to earn X-tra money on the side. So the instructor was not even immersed in class studies. When “certain” days came up she got the class to vote to LEAVE EARLY, when the kiddos were off school, I was OUTNUMBERED! This was SUPER aggravating to be stuck in CLASSES full of women that used school as a social gathering instead of getting a good education! I knew something that I didn’t know was going to get the instructor in trouble so a fellow student used it so the instructor found a way to get me kicked out of the program. I didn’t know that she should have been using the students to earn extra money on the side. I recently learned she had a $680,000.00 home + a condo in California and still needed more money! For anyone planning their future, especially a girl, she needs to move with her class because later she’s going to be stuck in classes WITHOUT single people which means NO study buddies!
