Power of Persistence: Short Segment from the Go for No! Movie

We created this special shorter segment from the Go for No! movie (the Power of Persistence chapter) for our niece, Aubrianna (who also appears!) She is doing a class project on family members and as producers of a movie, well, of course she choose to profile us. Just one of the many perks of making a movie!

Jack Canfield's Go for No! Story

During Jack's interview for the Go for No Video, he shared one of his many "go for no" stories with us... this one about Chicken Soup for the Soul. As writers, it has always been very inspiring to us.

Failure, Success, and Mediocrity

I just read a fabulous quote from Randy Gage (a great guy and one the "stars" in our movie!) and it goes: "The opposite of success is not failure, it's mediocrity. Failures are part of the success process as you learn and grow."

One of the questions we asked for the video was for people to share their definition of failure. Like Randy, these amazing people said, time and again, that failure was quitting, giving up, or as Robert Imbriale mentioned in his clip, "failure is sitting on the couch and not doing anything!"

There is no doubt on your journey you question whether you are on the right path. You question if you are heading the right direction. You may end up taking a different route. You may try a few different things. But always remember that you are IN THE GAME. The only failure, in our mind, is for you to give up on you.

Go for No Video Trailer

All of the fabulous footage of the Go for No! Video Documentary is currently being stitched together - in the mean time, tah dah! Yes! The trailer... enjoy and share!

Do you wish things were easier?

One of the things we frequently heard from our Go for No Tour interviews was how getting things "EASY" isn't always the best road for us to grow and develop. In fact, it is the "struggle" - or the challenges and opportunities including "going for no" that are the things that make us into the people we want to be.

David Frey does an amazing job of explaining this, watch this quick video from the Tour!

Edison - A Tenacious Goal Getter

For the Go for No! Video documentary one of the very cool people we met was Frank Attwood. Frank calls himself an "actorpreneur" and is a full time "professional" Thomas Edison!

We got loads of fabulous quotes and stories from Frank (and Edison!). One of the little things that Frank mentioned, particularly struck us as we were going through the footage... it reminded us that the "Go for No!" message has a lot of meanings behind it. And one of those things is to stick to your goal and your dream; to PERSIST! Edison wasn't deterred and neither should you be! Watch this clip and think about what or who you may be letting into your head.

Go for No Movie Update

The Go for No Tour is officially over! (Okay, yeah, for the last 2 weeks but we've been settling back in!) We also learned that driving almost 12,000 miles in 44 days to make a documentary video about "NO!" does not leave much time to blog.

We met and interviewed amazing people and are now reviewing these great clips. Over the next few weeks we plan on sharing a little bit about everyone we met. One of the people we sat down with was Laura Gross of no,no,no, yes! Inc.

You did read that correctly. Obviously we have similar philosophies! We were thrilled to have her on board and get her take on "no." Here is a tiny little snippet of Laura and to keep you looking forward to the next update!
