Description

Is your quiet time each day serving you? 

In this episode, Jeff and Rick discuss: 

  • Principles of business that were learned early in Rick’s life.
  • Staying on track with your family and spirituality amid life’s activities.
  • Living a life of meaning.
  • Finding a cause that guides your actions.

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Many young men, between 25 and 45, are significantly underperforming in key areas of life.
  • Be willing to act immediately when prompted in your life. Take initiative, and you’ll be amazed at who you can meet and who you can become.
  • The only way to get mastery is from a master. Seek out masters in your life you can learn from.
  • Your competency plus your integrity becomes your identity.
  • You have to give it away in order to keep it with all things in your life.
  • Stewardship requires action. Building a life of meaning requires sacrifice.

  

"We get it all wrong. We worship our work, then we work on our play, then we play at our worship, and I think that we've got to get those things realigned." —  Rick Walker

 

About Rick Walker: Rick runs Lumicre Commercial Real Estate Investments, where he loves to build and buy boring buildings (www.lumicre.com). He is the author of 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning: How to Unlock Your Mind, Happiness, Power, and Your Enemy's Demise. He lives in Houston with his wife and three daughters.

He began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self-esteem. Borrowing $1,000 from his Mom, he founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time he was 26. He built another company into 6 states. At the same time, he led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff - all in their 20s and 30s.
