Randy Wilson spent most of his life wondering what he was going to do with himself. An average student who wanted to play pro basketball but lacked the height, he debated entering the military before going to a hometown university and eventually dropping out. In his early 30s and pleased to be a chain retail store manager who could afford to raise his family, his life was upended when the company filed for bankruptcy and his store was shut down.
Plagued by self-doubt and unequipped with the education or family support he needed, Randy started searching for some answers on what to do next. He ended up at the local library, where he picked up Robert Kiyosaki's book, Retire Young, Retire Rich. From there, he realized that financial education is key to a better life.
"I was mad at my dad for not teaching me. I thought he was holding it from me," Randy said. "What I realized was that the reason why he wasn't sharing with me is because he didn't know."
Randy became a voracious reader, gaining financial literacy as well as inspiration through personal development. He is now paying it forward with his The Rich Mind podcast, helping others to discover what they can do to build their security, and better yet, regain control over their time.
I met Randy while in Dallas, Texas, at a Kyle Wilson retreat. As many of you know, Kyle has helped me to build my brand and my personal development program. He has also helped Randy, who is a co-author of Think Big!, a great read about self-discovery and the power of a mentor.
While Randy says he is still early on in his journey, the lessons of those who come before us teach us the value of perspective. The journey must start somewhere and it's usually with the desire to take control of our path. I hope Randy's story reinforces your belief that we are all better than we think.
