Sean Johnson - Intentionally - The Education of Sean Johnson

There’s a whole other world out there, and I caught a glimpse of it this past weekend.

There are people who have started successful consulting firms and have worked for two major media companies…and just reached an age where they can legally buy alcohol.

There are people who have had their lives shattered in the wake of natural disaster, and within 14 days have become part owners in what will certainly become marvelously successful ventures.

There are people who run websites where they post videos of guys getting hit in the head with shovels…and as a result never have to worry about money again.

There are people who have plans to go on trips that last 7 months and take them to 7 continents on no more than $7,000.

There are people who have started and sold multiple companies before they were 25, and who get to just kinda hang out as they deliberately plan their next enterprise that is certain to be just as successful as those that proceeded it.

There are people all over the world like this - unassuming, often very shy, usually extremely humble people - and you’d walk by them never knowing that they live in a world that is completely unlike your own. While you grind your brain into the ground at your job, they’re doing things that they love and often living very well as a result.

Once you have a glimpse of this world, you tell yourself that you’ll never let the door close on it - that you’ll burn the memory of these people and what they represent into your brain. And you look forward to the day when you will live in their world - so joy-filled, so full of life, so open to whatever new opportunity or challenge comes their way.

Above all, you’re immensely grateful that you had the chance to meet them.
