This morning, after a long talk with my mentee last night about life, failure, and the magic keys for success in business, I ran across this speech and interview with Academy Award winning actor and author of “Greenlights,” Matthew McConaughey. This speech boils down quite well what it takes to be successful.

We are in a challenging time for business right now. But it’s how we look at those challenges which determine our success. How does this apply to you this morning? The floor is yours, Carson City.
