Top 3 Value Bombs

1. If you are a young person, or a parent of a young person, flip the script on the status quo. If a person is going to go to college, community colleges are a great option. Do an internship or an apprenticeship that won't put them in tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

2. Entrepreneurship is going to matter for them, no matter what they decide to do after high school. It's just a matter of making the lessons and curriculum interesting for them by using different technologies, guest speakers, and videos that will help get students engaged.

3. It's difficult to know what you want to do for the next 40 years of your life when you're 18 years old.

Motivational Speaker and Bestselling Author Kevin Brown is the creator of The Hero Effect, a simple philosophy that separates world-class organizations and high-performance people from everybody else.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Most of us are unwilling to call ourselves heroes because of humility. The truth is, being a hero doesn't involve doing big things. It's about doing everything you do in a way that serves other people - and to take the storyline and stop accepting what the world is trying to give you.

2. Don't play victim. Don't live in the past. Don't setup camp on where you've been. Focus on where you're going. That's when you can release your gifts to the world.

3. Nobody on this planet was put here to be ordinary. We are created with talents and abilities as unique as our fingerprints. We were put here to use those gifts in service of others.

Tom Scarda was able to semi-retire with his first franchise, then failed miserably in his second. His lessons learned from failure are what make him such an inspiration.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Whatever you choose, your choices always come down to uncertainty, and unhappiness. Choose uncertainty.

2. There's no way to get past fear. The only way is to embrace it and understand the ramifications.

3. Don't get into something that has zero market unless you have lots of money and lots of time. Get into something where there's a niche, but not something that has never been done before.
