We all know that you proposed to Jen on top of Kilimanjaro. Would you like to share your love story, how did you guys meet? Patrick Weeden Hi David, if you had to choose one thing, what would be the single most important step towards becoming successful? Michelle Eades Hi David! Another question for you … how did you meet Jack Canfield and become such great friends? Have an awesome day! Leigh Martinuzzi How do we choose what path to take? I am a very passionate person and put my heart and soul into almost everything I do, but this little defeat has made me question if the path of real estate to reach my goals is the right way. I have had other ideas since about setting up my own business and creating my riches and success that way but feel I am quitting too soon from real estate in which I still feel I could do well.

106 – What if…You DIDN’T KNOW What You Know?
Inspired by a night out with his mates, Mike, Mark, Sean and Ben David focuses on one of the stories that he had shared with them while out at the Pub. After waking up after just 3 hours sleep he reflects on the power of his conversation with Mark that went on to the wee hours, long after everyone else was tucked in sleeping. Their all night marathons (which occur often) always end up challenging David to step into more of the juice of life. In this show you will learn….. The Story of a simple Farmer ‘Cliff Young” who changed a nation The power of the things that we don’t know The ‘Bannister’ Paradigm Shift The importance of ‘Guy Time’ David’s 30 Day Pledge that the Naysayers Said was Not Possible What Tim Ferriss Thinks About ‘Outliers’ 10,000 Hr Rule Lynn Shatters a Record and Sets a New Paradigm in Motion A Challenge to You to Ask What If? Music in the show by “Coldplay” Songs – What If – Yellow – Clocks The Story of Cliff Young ‘The Cliff Young Shuffle” An Unlikely Competitor  Cliff Young Every year, Australia hosts 543.7-mile (875-kilometer) endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne. It is considered among the world’s most grueling ultra-marathons. The race takes five days to complete and is normally only attempted by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. These athletes are typically less than 30 years old and backed by large companies such as Nike. In 1983, a man named Cliff Young showed up at the start of this race. Cliff was 61 years old and wore overalls and work boots. To everyone’s shock, Cliff wasn’t a spectator. He picked up his race number and joined the other runners. The press and other athletes became curious and questioned Cliff. They told him, “You’re crazy, there’s no way you can finish this race.” To which he replied, “Yes I can. See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses or tractors, and the whole time I was growing up, whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I’d always catch them. I believe I can run this race.” When the race started, the pros quickly left Cliff behind. The crowds and television audience were entertained because Cliff didn’t even run properly; he appeared to shuffle. Many even feared for the old farmer’s safety. The Tortoise and the Hare  All...

KickAssk Dave 3: Jen Newman & Belinda Bekkers (Questions from Facebook) [PODCAST]
David shares some fun facts in his usual silly way….Here they are…. One out of ten children in Europe are conceived on an IKEA bed. Antarctica is the only continent without reptiles or snakes. An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it. In the Caribbean there are oysters that can climb trees. Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. The youngest pope was 11 years old. Go to davidonfacebook.com and assk your question and Dave will take time to answer it on one of his shows. QUESTIONS: Jen Newman asks: How did you support yourself financially while backpacking for 10 years and how does it relate to your success today? (David backpacked for 10.5 years around the world and in that time had to work in almost every country…Here is what he shared on the show.) David: “Being able to connect quickly with people as if they have known you your own life is a key to finding work, building relationships and really having a KICKASS life. People go out of their way to help you when you have a deeper connection” David regularly gets huge discounts when buying things because he has such a great time, or never pays for extra baggage because the person waves the fee. “I would decide what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it, Many people never consciously decide exactly where to live and exactly what to do, they end up somewhere. Make it a conscious decision. Treat getting a job like a job, put 8-9 hours in a day. If people put in 8 hours a day and not be too proud to take a lower station job in order to get into the company that you want.” David worked as Harv Ekers goffer and did everything for him, got his food, carried his bags, cleaned up after him etc in order to break into the training world. “Work for FREE and prove yourself if needed” David volunteered for Harv and never got paid, he also worked for FREE many times around the world. Work hard and do more than you are asked, go the extra mile and do what is unexpected. Add a little extra to everything you do. Have a great attitude – Attitude creates Latitude Leave something behind when you meet people, a light, an energy so people miss you, work on the connection Belinda Bekkers: I would like to know how do you decide what project/path to work on when you’re inspired to try a whole lot at once? What do you do when they all seem...
