A dude named Kevin Carroll spoke on the final afternoon of Catalyst. Interestingly, Kevin started a gig called the Katalyst Consultancy. He's the author of the highly successful book, Rules of the Red Rubber Ball.
Amazingly, Kevin Carroll is the guy who, in a sense, started the whole rubber-band bracelet phenomenom (you know, LIVESTRONG, DREAM, etc.). He told the story (you can read about it here).
Kevin's an inspiring guy. He asked us the question: What inspires you? For him, as a kid, it was a red rubber ball.
He says your dreams need to be lofty and audacious. Which got me to thinking, what are my dreams? Are they indeed lofty and audacious? I need to work on that.
One of the things that impressed me about Kevin Carroll is that it was obvious that he is a giver. The dude just gave stuff away like crazy. I made a note to myself in my workbook: Give stuff away!
More notes: Kevin said that missions are finite, dreams are infinite. Here's a great quote he shared: "To realize one's destiny is a person's only requirement." Powerful thought.
He passed out thousands of Nike "DREAM" bracelets at the end. Here are his five ingredients to a dream:
- dedication
- responsibility
- education
- attitude
- motivation
This guy, Kevin Carroll, he dreams big...and he inspires others to dream big. I want to be that kind of guy.
