And if I believe that something or someone "is" when they are not then I'm in a state of delusion. Simply put Jesus Christ not only lived but...LIVES!! A guy named Paul wrote a letter to a bunch of believers in the city of Corinth and said, "If Christ hasn't risen from the dead than our faith is useless and we might as well just eat and drink and party because if Christ wasn't resurrected then neither shall we be...," The Scriptures are explicitly clear of the parent the birth place, the city in which he grew up, the circumstances, people surrounding his death, even the name of the guy who lent his tomb...What more do you need to substantiate that Jesus Christ truly lived and worked and walked on this planet? My friend Jesus did live but more than that he DOES LIVE!!! tim Serena, I’m sorry but if Jesus didn’t actually live then the teachings about Him are all fabricated…lies.

Rich, this is big in my eyes, really big... When I think of "influence" I also think of "direction," and "purpose..." In other words "UNTO" what end is the influence we are receiving or giving--- leading... Influence can be of the "pull" or "push" variety but either way it is trying to redirect that which is already moving (either an object or a being) or is trying to put in motion something inert and static. You Rich are very good at helping people (me for sure)see the big picture, the long range, the coherence into a whole of scattered pieces. And although the quality gap of what you teach compared to most other "gurus" is very wide, I still believe you leave people hanging. As you know projects differ from recurring tasks in that "projects" have an "end" while recurring tasks do not. My question for you is what is the "End" you have in view for all the influence that you exert? You are far beyond me in strategic thinking and disciplined planning. I'm just curious... Does not all planning, and sequential mapping out of details need a goal in view for proper orientation and direction? What is your ultimate goal as you lead, guide and influence the minds of men? Perhaps you have thought no further than making their businesses profitable... With no concern of whether those "profits" in dollars become "losses" in character used for mere selfish ends or for a further good. You may be content to stay within your small circumference of influence... impacting the lives of men for this age only... But I challenge you to seek the One Who made you and sustains you...The One who you may or may not know but even now oversees your autonomic bodily functions holding your very breath in His hands... If you don't know Him Rich then your "Influence" may continue growing in width but will remain shallow in depth. I live to spread the fame of The Name---Jesus. tim You got my fires stoked on this one Rich…

And if so, does that mean that any influence gained by associating with a person like that (assuming any allegations are true) make that influence on you (or me) something to keep as far away from as possible? In other words, is Jim fobair a person to stay away from or can one do legitimate business with him? Hi Steve,

I would have to say that my greatest influincer is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Second would be my wife. These are the most positive inluinces in my life. Unfortunately I have a few negative ones as well, and I am striving to not let them take my attention away from what I know to be important. The main negative influince that I have is my Mom who I love very much, but she has the unfortunate habit of frequient negativity. One situation that I can refer to was this: I recently had to start looking work. In fact Im starting a new job monday. When I spoke to my mother about it, her first comment was if you lost more weight, employers would think better of you. It upset me for a while, until I finally was able to let it wash off. Thank God for my wife for her ability to help me spot the truth in situations. Incidentally I am not giving up on the idea of owning my own business, I am taking a step backwards so that i can take several more foward. Rich you also are a major infulince in my life. Your concepts from the internet business manifesto on have shaped my thinking. For a long time there is one coversation my wife had with you on the Platiinum Black call, that has stuck with me. I still have the recording. It was simply "Find something that is uniquely you and can help the world, and create a business from it" We are still trying to define what that means for us. But we are closer than we ever have been before. God Bless All Michael Hi Rich,

Even odinary people can influence when they give often-overlooked but wise point of views. "Odinary" people like Paul Potts - his voice is amazing but his experience is a learning experience for rest of us. Bad news can also influence us and we tell ourselves never to do this or that.....ever.

Many of the successful people I know seem to be successful DESPITE themselves. Should I be influenced by them? Probably - there is alot to be said for sheer persistence and hard work, which seems to overcome all manner of significant character flaws and shortcomings. Interesting question.
