Mark Victor Hansen: World Famous Author Who Sold 500MILLION Books (Yes, 500m) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Today Rob is joined by the inspiring motivational speaker, trainer and best-selling author Mark Victor Hansen. Famous for co-creating ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul’ which has over 250 titles and have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, Mark explains why he believes reading is a fundamental freedom of all freedoms. Rob and Mark also discuss why to achieve your destiny you need to be able to ask, how there is greatness and super talent in everybody and what it means to be disruptive. KEY TAKEAWAYS Reading is a fundamental freedom of freedoms. Once you know how to read, you can set some great goals. Wouldn’t it be nice if everybody in the world could read, learn and earn? There is a triangle to achieving goals which go: Learn, Earn and then Return. Every disruptive person has got to understand that there is always a bridge, there is always a detour or a stop sign that you need to over, under, around or through to get to the other side in order to achieve what you want to achieve. To achieve your destiny, you need to be able to ask. There are three parts to it, ask yourself, ask others and as God. Everybody out there who is unemployed or unhappily employed needs to know that there are questions to ask God. Ask God 400 times before you go to sleep ‘What is your destiny for me?” We’re born over-endowed with 18 billion brain cells, they cannot come to work until you cut deep and question what your destiny is. We need to find greatness in everybody. There is super talent in every single person. We are all unique. We all have our different hierarchy of values therefore there are no two people on the planet that are the same, meaning there is nobody like us. Sometimes we just need people to believe in us when we don’t know that ourselves. Worry is stewing without need to. It is a one-way elevator going down and it will make you involute rather than evolute. People are put on this earth to create and contribute and those people who feel depressed are not creating or contributing. You have to express rather than depress and to express, you have to contribute and create. To be disruptive means that you cannot keep doing something the way it is already being done. When Steve Jobs went to Kodak and saw that they had not patented digital photography in one year, he took it and put it in a cell phone. Inside every company there is the greatness, you have to ask what is working and what you can change.
