Sara Grace and I are in Barranquilla Colombia for a few days. We have the opportunity to team up with Equip and Lidere to teach leadership down here. Wehave been coming here for the last 3 years and speaking to a group of super people. The gentlemen you see in this picture is Donaldo Ballestas. Donaldo is a leader in this region of Colombia who is mainly responsible for the large leadership event to begin on Friday.
Donaldo has a commitment to developing people that is simply incredible. In speaking with him upon our arrival last night, we were learning of the depth he goes to in order to mobilize people to come and grow through these events. Donaldo knows that not everyone is going to rally to these events unless he personally goes to remind them. Bear in mind, that many of these people we are developing may not have email or may live in areas where cell phones do not work.
Donaldo has been personally knocking on doors to remind people of the event this weekend. He has traveled far and wide to bring the news.What really blew my mind and revealed such courageous commitment to me was the following:
Not only does Donaldo play the lead role in organizing these bi-annual events, he is mega committed to training leaders himself. We learned last night that Donaldo has a group of leaders he is commited to developing that requires him to travel 24 hours one way by bus just to get to them. I can promise you that this is not an easy bus ride either friends. Donaldo has to be one of the most committed leaders I may ever meet.
Ken Blanchard writes: "When you're interested in something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results." KB is clearly speaking of a man like this.
Not only were we inspired and challenged by this level of commitment, we now have a great story from a great man. From this point forward - I am going to call superior commitment the "Donaldo Affect."
Do you have the "Donaldo Affect" that allows you to overcome many life and leadership obstacles? Do you approach each day knowing that your commitment is going to be tested?
Do you have compliant people on your team or committed people? A compliant person when asked to do something outside their normal job role will tell you, "that's not my job." A committed person will never tell you this.
If you're in uncomfortable position and have got no cash to go out from that, you would have to receive the business loans. Just because it would aid you for sure. I take consolidation loans every year and feel myself fine because of it.

I strictly recommend not to wait until you earn big sum of cash to buy all you need! You should just take the mortgage loans or just sba loan and feel fine
