Musings at the intersection of business and life

No small dreams here!

Business Savvy

 I've been told I'm pretty passionate about the things I do and I jump into life with both feet (they don't always land together), but I can't come close to Tony Magee, author of an inspiring paperback aptly named, Can't Shove a Great life into a Small Dream!  The man literally defies gravity with his enthusiasm for life and the people he is helping.  And with bestselling authors like Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield of the Chicken Soup for the Soul®, and Zig Ziglar, of See You at the Top, singing his praises, Tony is definitely on his way to helping a lot of people achieve the life they've always wanted.

Tony is the essence of the American dream.  Born to a single mom and raised in the tough housing projects in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, he learned early on from his mother, "I might have been born into poverty, but poverty was not born in me."  On the day he took the SAT to get into college, his mother died of heart failure.  With the lessons she taught him pushing him forward, Tony finished college with an engineering degree from Cal State Northridge and went on for a Masters Degree in Material Sciences and an MBA..  A successful aerospace engineer, Tony is also committed to passing on to others what he has learned about how to achieve your full potential despite the cards you were dealt.  

Tony has proven what I've believed for a long time.  Even if you have a full-time job, you can still become an entrepreneur if that's what you want to be. You have to believe in yourself.  You have one life--this is no time to be mediocre at anything.  Tony has managed to find his purpose in life: "encouraging and motivating people to unleash their full human potential..."   He has built a business that is doing good, and his mother's lessons are now the inspiration for a whole new generation of young people who, like Tony, just want to find the sunshine.
