Motivational Monday - "One Red Paperclip"

Life Lesson: Thinking outside the box can really pay off!

Kyle MacDonald dreamed of owning his own home but didn't want to spend one red cent, so he started with one red paperclip. This is an amazing story - check it out!




Lessons to learn from Kyle:

  1. Kyle had a dream, but instead of giving up or feeling overwhelmed, he started with something small. Just start somewhere!
  2. He thought he was doing something for himself, but as things progressed, he found that he wasn't fulfilling his dream, but he was helping others live their dreams and that really motivated him.
  3. He couldn't have fulfilled these dreams without help - it took many people to come alongside him and help him - he couldn't do it alone.
  4. I loved this quote by Corbin: "The paperclip in itself isn't worth anything - it's what Kyle has done with the paperclip"
What is your dream?

What's your red paperclip? (What small step can you take?)
