In this episode of Shaping Success with Wes Tankersley, Wes talks about how he finds inspiration in everything around him including the clothes he wears. Wes gives us three quotes and discusses their meaning and tells stories or examples of each quote.

It seems Wes\\u2019 favorite shirt these days is his Move Forward shirt that can be found by going to the links in his bio on all socials. The shirt he is wearing in this episode is an acronym for Break The Mold. He looks to be different from anyone else and to be better every single day.

The podcast not only brings value to the people who watch or listen to it, it brings value to Wes as well. It helps him to break the mold, move forward, and think outside the box. Sometimes people forget to bet on themselves.

With that, the first quote is from Pete Wentz of the band Fall Out Boy. \\u201cAlways bet on yourself no matter what the odds are. It means more to be in the race than to watch the victory lap from the stands.\\u201d\\xa0 Wes uses baseball as an example: You can\\u2019t be in the game in the dugout. Always bet on yourself because no one may bet on you. Have the belief that success can happen and don\\u2019t listen to those who say it cannot be done. Their fears are keeping them from improving themselves, and they project them onto others who are working on themselves. Wes is confident in all that he does. He seeks advice on things but realizes he\\u2019s the one that controls his destiny.\\xa0

The second quote is from Conan O\\u2019Brien. \\xa0 \\u201cI like being tested. I get as scared as anyone, but the feeling of putting yourself on the line, betting on your talent, and having it work; that\\u2019s the most exhilarating feeling in the world\\u201d\\xa0 Chadd Wright was a Navy SEAL who ran Ultra marathons of 100 miles. If he looks at the 100 miles as a whole, it\\u2019s very daunting. \\xa0 The key to the race is tackling a little at a time... a mile at a time. Wes has never had an episode, clip, or video go viral. He does not make a lot of money on the podcast, but he will not stop. The most effective way to move forward is to tackle the task right in front of you. When it comes to emails, Wes concentrates on one email at a time taking his many emails in small increments.\\xa0 Doing tasks this way helps from being overwhelmed by the enormity of the task.

The third quote is by T Harv Ecker. \\u201cSuccessful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don\\u2019t let these feelings stop them.\\u201d\\xa0 Compete with yourself and not anyone else. Strive to be better than you were yesterday. Wes had some challenges lately and some people were interfering with his success. He decided he will control his destiny and is taking steps to make that happen.\\xa0
