Hi,

This week, the special guest on my Willie Jolley Wealthy Ways SiriusXM Show is viral internet sensation, NY Times best-selling author and internationally acclaimed speaker and consultant, Dr. Rick Rigsby.

Dr. Rigsby's video message, “Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout,” has over three hundred million views worldwide. They were the lessons he learned from his father, who had to drop out of school to work in the fields in the deep south.

His dad went on to become a cook at a small college, yet without a formal education, he became a wise mentor for many people. He shared powerful life lessons with his sons, one who became a world renowned speaker and author and the other who became a U.S. Army officer and then a federal judge.

Here are 10 lessons from Dr. Rick Rigsby's father that shaped Rigsby’s life and led to the massively successful work, “Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout.”

  1. Be a servant. A servant’s towel should always be bigger than the towel of the leader. Remember, ego is the anesthesia that deadens stupidity!

  2. Be kind. Kind deeds are never lost. When you’re kind to others, you receive kindness back. The analogy is, when you sprinkle perfume on others, you have to get some on yourself.

  3. How you do anything is how you do everything.

  4. Make a point to let your kids catch you in the act of practicing excellence every day.

  5. They can take everything but your good name. Maintain a good reputation. It has value.

  6. Love your family more than your job.

  7. Determine what you’re not willing to compromise on.

  8. Commit to doing something great. Remember, a genius hits a target no one else sees.

  9. When life gets hard, decide that you will do "hard better!"

  10. Be the kind of entrepreneur your grandparents would hire.
