I'd like to ask you a question today. What have you done radical that impacted the life of somebody? Whether a family member or a friend? We do not need to have enough money to do something radical to impact the lives of other people. We can go out and do acts of service. I'd like to encourage and think about it. Do not be that bystander! Get out there and think what you can do to radically impact somebody!

Hey, there's a few good men out there. I want to tell you a reason I'm saying that. My family gets onto me a lot of times, they'll say, "Man you hammer these guys you're always saying what they don't do. You need to reach out sometimes and say the good things that they do." And it made me feel about that tall. I said, "Man, you're right you know." I do these guys pretty hot and heavy sometimes but I want to tell you something we've got some of the most outstanding men on the planet in Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind Group. Now I got to confess a couple of things to you though in regards to telling you how happy I am and excited about the good job that they do. I planned an event coming up pretty soon and there was a number of guys that I invited to this event and one of the guys that I knew were going to be there. I mean it was no question he needed to be there and I needed him to be there. He turned me down bigger than Dallas! He's like, "I can't make it." And I'm like, "Well what is the deal? Where are you gonna be?" And he said, "Well my 17 year old daughter graduates from high school this year. She's gonna be going off to college and she's got an event at school and parents are asked to be there. And I don't want to miss it." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me? I mean this is a big deal event!" And he's like, "Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big deal. This is my daughter." And then I started thinking about I said, You know, he's doing exactly what I've been teaching all these years. He's excited me after I got mad! It excited me to think that he would stand up and honor his daughter more so than a business transaction!

I gotta be honest with you. Some of you need a little bit of that work ethic. Some of you need to breathe that into your children. Some of you need to teach them that they are not entitled - that you are not going to give everything. Listen, the harder you work the blessed you get - that's why I have titled this "A little bit of effort goes a long way." I just want to encourage you guys today that when you teach your children or grandchildren to work is not gonna kill 'em.

What do kids need today from their dad? There is nothing replaces the father saying to their son/daughter, "Hey! I am so proud of you! I am glad you are in your life!"....and do so on and so forth. Make them feel they are important! Make them feel that you need them! Talk to them. Ask their opinion.

Guys, if you got kids today or teenagers who have gone astray, I'd like to encourage you to do what my friend did. Constantly tell them how much you love them regardless what they have done. We do not need to give up easily as parents. We need to do every single thing that we could possibly do in our human ability in order to win that child back!
