SOUL
Chris Bosh 1984
“Life starts happening and personal things become more important, and I had to pour myself into my family and those things,”
“And hey, man, 13 or 14 years in the league, that’s over the average. We beat the odds twice. Championships, gold medals, I got to experience the best of the best, and now it’s just taking that and bottling that up and going to the real world and doing the best of the best somewhere else.”
*Pour yourself into your family today to experience the best of the best.

BONUS: Steve Ballmer 1956 (net worth: 69.8 billion)
The best advice Ballmer said he ever received was from his father, which was simply to pour everything thing you’ve got into whatever you’re going after.
“It’s the notion that if you’re going to do something then do it heart, body and soul, and do it,” he said. “And really care. And have the kind of brain that forces you where you are always thinking about it and worrying about it and caring about it and nurturing it and tending to it and growing it. You either be all in or be all out.”
*Describe how you are putting each of the following into your dream business –
Mind – _____________________________________________________________________________
Body – _____________________________________________________________________________
Soul – ______________________________________________________________________________
