Jefferson had passion, skill and VISION. When he wrote the Declaration of Independence,
he not only desired to provide independence for the people of the soon to be
United States, but he also had the vision to give freedom to all people.

a big, audacious vision. Our vision should
provide a fixed purpose that gives hope to people for a better future. Hope is a powerful thing for anyone to use
when trying to persuade.
CHALLENGE: James Altucher says, “Most people don't have
the power of persuasion.” Do you have
passion, skills and vision? If not, what
can you do to develop/improve your persuasion skills?
We all want to believe in impossible things, I

Book of Illusions
The key to successful leadership today is influence,
