In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Ted Jackson encountered a half-naked drug addict sleeping under a bridge. After snapping a photo, Jackson woke the man. Pointing to the daily newspaper by his feet, the homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the eye and said, “You ought to do a story about me.” When Ted asked why, he was stunned by the answer. “Because, I’ve played in three Super Bowls.” Whoa, what a story.

"You seem to push entrepreneurship hard —is that required for a fulfilling life?” Uh, no...of course not. But I  believe the tools, mindsets and strategies that make a great entrepreneur —those lead to a fulfilling life: They lead to self-reliance. They lead to creative solutions. They lead to exponential thinking. (And if you are a part of an organization —you become the Linchpin and those get paid and promoted fast.) Even if you are working for someone else and are fulfilled —adopting an entrepreneurial mindset is non-negotiable. Why? Because no employer is ever loyal to one person —they are loyal to profit shareholders and their own self-interests. And if we’ve learned anything from the COVID-19 crisis, it’s that: We can’t rely on employers. We can’t rely on the government. We can’t rely on faux leaders to save us. In Quick Hit #147 —I'll answer a question I receive on the regular —do you need to be an entrepreneur to live a rich, and fulfilling life? MASTERCLASS: MAKE 2020 THE YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGED In
