His hope was to one day be able to lend a hand to his village in Haiti. Where many would see nothing but overwhelming odds stacked against them, Godefroy saw an abundance of opportunity and a chance to pursue the “American Dream.” “Napoleon Hill’s philosophy on success is what put me on the road to living my dream. Prior to reading Think & Grow Rich, I had only heard of the word success. But through his book, it was Mr. Hill who shared it’s ingredients with me.” Says Godefroy. Once in America, Godefroy summoned his keen survival instincts to pursue his ambitions. He taught himself English and read voraciously. As his knowledge increased, his quality of life improved and his dream of helping his fellow Haitians and making an impact in America was sure to be realized. Today, as one of America’s most sought-after and inspiring motivational keynote speakers, Rene is renowned both nationally and internationally. His advice on achieving success has graced the ears of thousands! He has appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes, in a segment that featured Zig Ziglar, and Colin Powell. Armed with a passionate story and a compelling vision, Rene exemplifies the essence of what makes America great! ---------------------------- Discover How a Mentor Can Help You Jumpstart Your Career and Triple Your Income Twenty years ago, after struggling for survival in a tiny Haitian village, I arrived in America. I had only five dollars, two shirts, one pair of pants, and I didn’t speak any English. My success in this great land would be unthinkable to many. And I am often asked to share my secrets. Well, there are no secrets to my achievements. I simply seek out people with the right answers to mentor me. Some mentored me through books, and others in person. Your accomplishments in life are directly related to the kind of sustaining mentor/mentee relationships you have created. School is a good thing. But years of schooling cannot teach us the good old and highly-effective method of getting to the heart of success. Think about it this way, we go to school and gobble truckloads of information in order to finish school quickly. We, then, enter the world of work only to realize that experience is the real teacher of all teachers. And nowadays, all of the job postings are asking for experience. We find ourselves frustrated and fumbling in the dark alleys of personal and professional success. We wonder why we can’t make big money in our business or career. The key to getting what you want is very simple. All you have to do is to find someone who has been there to show you the way. If success leaves clues as we know it, then those who went before us should remember the ones that they encountered themselves. Success, in whatever line of work, is like walking in a field of landmines. It’s necessary to have a minesweeper or a mentor—someone who has been there and knows where to step. You know the landmines I am referring to. They are the mistakes and bad decisions that often blow up our faces. In addition to providing ideas and guidance, your mentor will hold you accountable for your success. That alone is priceless. Like the great Jewish King Solomon said, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
