In 1951, he starred in first exercise show on TV. At this writing, reruns are on ESPN Classic at 7 and 10AM EST.

Watch or tape one of those shows and then go to website. Compare before and after. They guy is old enough to be a great-grandfather to Gen-X’ers and he could put many to shame.

Of course, I hope this encourages you to take better care of yourself, but that’s just a bonus.

What was image you conjured up for 90-year-old man?

Whatever it was, it is a snap shot of your own conception of advanced age.

If that doesn’t look like Jack LaLanne, make an adjustment.

Otherwise, that snap shot will someday resemble you.

The kind of work I'm talking about requires passionate commitment and discipline. It means you wake up every morning and can't wait to get back to it. You thirst for it, crave it! Even after putting in many hours, you can't wait to get to next step! You're not "involved" with your work. You are absolutely, passionately committed to it and - may I add - loving every minute of it!

Looking back at mountain of things you accomplish, you realize huge amount of work you've done. The thought strikes you've never looked at clock. That's what I'm talking about! It takes a daring and adventurous spirit to let go of clock watcher mentality and start on a journey of creative self-discovery.

You can easily spot folks that are on journey. They make ends meet by clocking in somewhere. At end of boring and tasteless work routine, they drive home and pick up kids, buy groceries, etc, etc …by time they get there, they've had it! They're spent!

Yet and still, they've made a commitment to work a few hours every day on their dream, their little business. That's when magic begins! Though dog tired, yearning for personal freedom and self expression creates miracles! Many times, they'll work 'till wee hours of morning; inevitable tap on shoulder is only thing that gets them to bed! Oh my, how hours fly and juices flow when you are self-creating! Isn't passionate commitment wonderful?

I invite you to drink deeply from never-ending wellspring of your own commitment. Taste and savor elixir all creative individuals value more than any other! It will nourish and sustain you and provide true foundation for your Business Success.
