Rick Walker: Realigning for a More Meaningful Life
Is your quiet time each day serving you?
In this episode, Jeff and Rick discuss:
Principles of business that were learned early in Rick’s life.
Staying on track with your family and spirituality amid life’s activities.
Living a life of meaning.
Finding a cause that guides your actions.
Key Takeaways:
Many young men, between 25 and 45, are significantly underperforming in key areas of life.
Be willing to act immediately when prompted in your life. Take initiative, and you’ll be amazed at who you can meet and who you can become.
The only way to get mastery is from a master. Seek out masters in your life you can learn from.
Your competency plus your integrity becomes your identity.
You have to give it away in order to keep it with all things in your life.
Stewardship requires action. Building a life of meaning requires sacrifice.
"We get it all wrong. We worship our work, then we work on our play, then we play at our worship, and I think that we've got to get those things realigned." — Rick Walker
About Rick Walker: Rick runs Lumicre Commercial Real Estate Investments, where he loves to build and buy boring buildings (www.lumicre.com). He is the author of 9 Steps to Build a Life of Meaning: How to Unlock Your Mind, Happiness, Power, and Your Enemy's Demise. He lives in Houston with his wife and three daughters.
He began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self-esteem. Borrowing $1,000 from his Mom, he founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time he was 26. He built another company into 6 states. At the same time, he led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff - all in their 20s and 30s.
