“Failure to win the boys one width freestyle at age 4, ignited the flame in my belly to make me want to achieve.”
Sean G Murphy, host of “The Daily Awakening Call” in Dallas, Texas, USA has an in depth conversation with 3 x English Channel Swimmer, Paul Hopfensperger, discussing:
How listening to his first mentor Larry Thompson’s “Millionaire Training tapes in April 1987, led him to his first trip to the USA to meet Larry, and in doing so, led him to meet the legendary Jim Rohn - America’s Foremost Business Philosopher and spend time with him every month in the late 1980’s.
How learning the skills required to swim The English Channel is like Entrepreneurship.
How losing his first ever swimming race at aged 4 inspired him to win his first trophy 6 years later.
Setting long term and short term goals.
How you can only start from where you are right now with your goals, and then progress to where you want to be.
How associating with the right people is the only way to achieve your goal.
The importance of constantly visualising your goal - have it finished before you even start it.
The importance of family support in achieving your goal.
Dealing with negative people and how the then Mayor of St Edmundsbury offering Paul lead boots and a British Champion telling Paul he would not achieve his goal inspired him to do so even more!
…and much more!
