I had no advantages when I started my entrepreneurial journey more than 35 years ago.
But I did have an attitude and work ethic that was greatly inspired by this quote from Teddy Roosevelt:
➡️ “Do what you can, with what you have, right where you are.”
Embracing that outlook led me to publish 16 books and grow my YouTube channel to 416,000 subscribers and 74 million views, among other things.
Let’s break down the meaning behind those words:
🔥 Do what you can → That means consistently taking action to move the needle forward, even when conditions aren’t perfect.
🔥 With what you have → That means stop making excuses that you don’t have the money, connections, or knowledge to start. Just start!
🔥 Right where you are → That means not waiting for the conditions to be perfect. Move forward now and figure things out along the way.
This perspective on life and work has made all the difference in my life — and it continues to.

What about Bob?
In case we need to get reacquainted …
I’m the author of 16 books and the founder of one of the most popular YouTube channels for affirmations and inspiration.
I’m on a mission to inspire and uplift humanity, one positive thought and one inspired action at a time.
My earlier books were on music marketing, book promotion, and creative entrepreneurship.
My latest book is called “The Power of Affirmations and Positive Self-Talk.”
I’m also a Hay House teacher, coach, musician, artist, actor, and improv comedy instructor.
I share how I built a global audience (and you can too) in this IMPACT Formula workshop.
I can also help you grow an audience, make a difference, and monetize your gifts and talents through 1:1 coaching.
