Hey Tim, Your focus, energy, and message are all amazing. I am thankful for your continued sharing, and caring. You have inspired me countless times, and wish you the best. Your friend, Twenty Twenty
Thanks Tim, Great insight as we have come to expect from your book, blogs and various other outlets. As a fellow South African I felt compelled to point out however that Oscar Pistorius is in fact South African and not Australian as mentioned in your speech. Thanks again, you have been a great inspiration in my own business.
Tim, I'm aware of your efforts in builing schools. Have you ever build a palace? Would you like to be a part of history? Sincerely and respectfully, N.
I recommend your book to all who will lend me their ear. Just forwarded your DO talk to my daughter in college and to my daughter in high school - both do-ers. You have incredible gifts to enlighten and inspire. I am so glad you are on the planet and willing to do and share. Thank you!
before the DO lectures had even happened Tim had contributed massively to changing my perspective of the next few months of my life and he'd inadvertantly aided my descision to start living life for today and not waiting for tomorrow to come. tim did this by suggesting ralph potts book 'vagabonding' which is a quick, easy and massively inspiring read. thanks tim, you lead me to a book i'd never have otherwise read which has given me the kick up the arse to start doing what i want to do now, not later. not a bad talk either ; )
