For those of you that know who I am, you know that I love motivation and I think that observations are key to growth. This is why I started SE. I always wanted to read great stories of great people, doing great things but it always seemed that you would only hear of those very important people (Trump, Gates, Jobs etc..) and never about relatable people having major wins. I always was interested in knowing what other successful Entrepreneurs who were not famous were doing with their life. As a result, when I made it to financial independence i decided to help create a place where those same people's stories would be told. For the past 4 years or so, we featured a new person each and every month and today we have more than a 100 great stories in the queue and growing each day with more people wanting to share their incredible stories.
My biggest learning through the years working on SE has been that everyone's story has value and that stories are what allows us to be remembered once we leave. It is the stories of how we impact others around us through our actions.
I have placed a few of those stories that I believe help inspire others here, and will update this as I can with new stories. I have also added here a brief description of each story. Enjoy and remember that not all stories will motivate all people but rather help you see how others are living their dreams and inspire you to push towards living yours, no matter what those are.
