April 20, 2008 Love What You Do I recently saw an HBO special on Lenny Dykstra, a former baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies - Great story! This is a guy who learned a hard lesson and really took control of his life. When Lenny retired from baseball in the 90's, he scheduled a meeting with his financial advisor and was dealt a devastating blow. He discovered that although he had made millions during his baseball career, all that was left was 400K. He had not done anything illegal - just chose a bad investment broker who made poor investments with his money while he was busy playing baseball. He walked out of that office knowing that he had made an enormous mistake by being complacent. He vowed to himself that he would never let anything like that happen again. He began to study everything he could get his hands on about the stock market and investing and he applied what he learned. He had found a new passion and quickly built a multi-million dollar empire. We all like to hear these stories because they show us that we all have the ability to accomplish ANYTHING we set our minds to - they remind us that just because we are 'down,' we don't have to be 'out.' But why is it that some people talk about what they want to accomplish while others actually do it?
