There are hundreds upon hundreds of inspirational figures in the world today that have used the tools available to them to communicate their message to the rest of the world. From athletes to entrepreneurs, I have become a student of several of these people, looking to them for wisdom and advice for the management and development of my own life. Here are a few of my favorite inspirational figures that I have subscribed to and recommend to all those seeking a positive change in life.
Tai Lopez
Remember the Hispanic guy from the YouTube ads lasting several minutes long that you may or may have likely watched more than five seconds of before skipping? That is Tai Lopez, a man with one of the greatest rags to riches stories I have ever come across. Tai was once sleeping on someone’s couch with very little money in his bank account. Tai came in contact with a series of mentors, online learning experiences and training programs and was able to eventually create his first business. The rest is history, as Tai has created business initiative after business initiative. He has completely turned his situation around, living a life of style and luxury after living on the couch of a total stranger. However, this is not the most compelling thing about Lopez; he is a huge advocator of larger possibilities and education, namely through reading. Tai is extremely active on social media, providing knowledge, opportunity, and hope to all who tune in.
Grant Cardone
Grant Cardone is my favorite inspirational figure to listen to. I came across him accidentally, seeing a seminar of his in the recommended section on YouTube. Grant is extremely forward and honest about what he believes and why he believes it. Uncle G has gone from living a life of dissatisfaction, addiction and poorness to being a multimillionaire and entrepreneur, with 19 New York Times best sellers and a ton of content available for those looking to change their lives. Grant Cardone is the creator of Cardone University, a top sales and marketing training program that has helped thousands of people realize their potential and become more competent and capable salesmen and financial strategists. With live, weekly programs like The Cardone Zone (viewable on YouTube every Friday at noon), Grant Cardone has made himself and his guidance available for everyone to learn from in order to create better lives for themselves, their families, and anyone else.
Mark Cuban
This Shark Tank investor, NBA team owner, and marketing genius is the originator of live stream online media. From a young age, Mark Cuban has been extremely dedicated to sales and marketing. Cuban is known for his loud personality, loads of money and brutal honesty, the characteristic many like myself appreciate the most; you know exactly what you are getting with Cuban without a doubt. His passion for honesty and authenticity make this billionaire (unlike many others) easy to believe and trust for information that can actually help you get to where you are trying to go in life and in your personal endeavors.
Kai Greene
“The Predator” Kai Greene is the most beloved bodybuilder in the history of the sport outside of Hollywood action icon and former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kai has gone from being an abandoned kid from Brooklyn living in a variety of foster homes and institutions to an iconic champion, leader and inspirational figure in the sport of bodybuilding. Kai is extremely philosophical in his thinking and is a huge advocator of larger possibilities and hard work even in the most dire of circumstances. Many people who have been plagued throughout life, dealing with a wide array of situations often gravitate towards Greene, as he is a symbol of hope for even the most weary of souls. Having been a champion on the highest level of his profession, the voice of ESPN coverage of the NFL and MLB World Series, featured actor in an up and coming foreign film and an entrepreneur, Kai is living proof that thoughts do become things with the necessary actions behind them.
