14 Moms I am Grateful For…..
14 Moms I am Grateful For…..Moms have had such an impact in my life over the past 12 months, that I have to finally acknowledged and thanked them for inspiring and teaching me about life.
14 Moms I am Grateful For
1) My sister Judy, she is an inspiration to her kids, to her husband, and dedication to her work. She always invites me to all the important holidays, and makes feel welcomed. Family comes first.
2) Allison Marks one of my closest friends ever. She literally kicks my ass. She reminds me that I am a good recruiter, and a good person. She is a constant critic of my work, and her feedback is thoughtful and caring. I always get the truth, even when its painfully honest (although I don’t always agree with her).
3) My own mom, for sharing her personal journal entry, “about what her life was like the day I was born.” She inspired me to create the writing contests in the community.
4) Justine Lassoff whose love of community created Tuesday Nights. Thank you for allowing me to sponsor one of your events; you taught me the importance of developing personal and meaning relationships.
5) Hilda Pacheco-Taylor the founder of Corazon de Vida, a passionate, compassionate, and forward driving thought leader. She inspired me to find my cause. Be passionate about your cause, and lead it like your life depends on it. She lives and thrives to save and empower orphans in Mexico.
6) My ex-girlfriend Robin who is one of the best moms ever. Her love for her daughter is undeniable. I felt like being in my own family for the first time in my life. She made life fun, in a very edgy way. And tested my commitment to be there for her when she needed me most. I loved being by her side and serving her. She opened up and touched my heart….thank you.
7) Rachael (founder of Rachael Photography) is a recent mom who has come into my life. She inspired me to have monthly fitness events through Kickass for Good. Her eye for photography is insightful, and has given me a new way to connect to my community.
8) Elayne Layken (founder of Webisode Studio) she gave me a voice and allowed me to share my vision through animation video. All the images, and scripts in my head came to life through her creative genius. She gave me simplicity in a complicated world.
9) My sister Patty, she gave me hope…that perhaps I am on to something with Kickass for Good, she loved the concept of competition, and rewarding moms for good. And has done an amazing job as a single mom to raise a child.
10) Special thanks to moms Jen Levinson (Founder Jen’s List), Laura Page (Founder Muddy Warriors), Mrs. Babb (Tommy Babb’s mom whose son participated 3 times in my recent writing contest for Superbowl tickets), Senaca La Fayette (extraordinary volunteer), Marni Rosenthal Chaikin (Co-Founder Pure Barre Brentwood, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills), and Lindsey Arotin (Regional Manager Exhale Spa)…whose enthusiasm, and conversations about Kickass for Good has reinvigorated my commitment to my higher purpose; helping L.A. moms have fun, get fit, and kickass for good.
Give thanks to moms, this Thanksgiving. Who are you grateful for?

How to Inspire Rockstars? Reward Them
In 1906, a famous Italian engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist and philosopher, made an important discovery and revelation about the distribution of effort versus result, that forever changed the course of microeconomics; the Pareto Principle (the 80/20 rule).
….Imagine if 20% of the population of every city in America…..and the world was a rockstar in life…….Everyone Would Enjoy Life + Make a Difference.”Those who lead and serve selflessly, inspire others to do the same….are rockstars.” In fact, we are all rockstars, its how we choose to live today, and everyday that dictates how big or small our impact will be.

“As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.” Bono
In July 2000, I started to think about how I could use recruiting to make life great for others…….It is 2013…….and I have come up with a fun solution….Recruiting Rewards Rockstars Travel……..I am grateful for all the people who have made great efforts to mentor, transform, and inspire me to serve rockstars in life. These include; MDI (a nonprofit organization that empowers men to be leaders in life), TuesdayNights.org founders Justine Lassoff and Melinda Moore, iShopforGood.com Lori Shapiro, Infinite Safari Adventures Alan Feldstein, Memorable Moments Travel Gwiin Correa, Cruises By Dave (Dave Fowlie), mom, dad, sisters, and lastly my inspirational red dragon Robin, who in the last year has taught me more about being a rockstar in life.
Richard, thank you for writing and sharing your autobiography, and living your truth. Losing My Virginity. Last week, I met a man who works for you at Virgin America and he was enamored and grateful to work at Virgin. Someday soon, I hope to make your acquaintance and thank you in person, for making my work happy and life great.

How to Inspire Rockstars? Reward Them. We are fortunate to live in a nation where freedom of speech is an undeniable right. The future of the nation will depend on our ability to develop, inspire, and support caring and serving leaders…….Rockstars in life; these are women, men, and children who exhibit extraordinary abilities to serve others. They live to make life great for their family, friends, and community at large.
If we learned anything about the economic meltdown, the smartest people, from the best schools, forgot to use their hearts to guide their integrity and serve the community with good intentions. Doing good in school is not a determinant that you will make the right choices for the greater good. So we are inspiring people to reward rockstar employees, parents, students, teachers, and volunteers, who will guide future generations for good.
So how do we reward rockstars? By empowering them to live great lives; gifting them with opportunities to experience and express themselves fully. Rockstars will permeate, mentor, and lead others by example. How about reward travel…….
There is no greater sense of urgency and purpose in my life than to inspire and reward rockstars. Inspiration is half the battle, the other is taking a risk and doing things people said could not be done. I transformed my recruiting agency into a co+op to inspire, reward, and serve rockstars; so that they make a difference with their family, friends, and community.
If you would like to reward your rockstars; parents, employees, teachers, students, neighbors, cops, politicians, kids, and granny too; Join Our Social Co+Op Rewarding Rockstars. We reward human friends and happy pets with global travel, shopping retreats, empowering people to create their own adventure or their travel reward program to give back to their community rockstars.
Do you know or want to recognize a rockstar in your life? Reward them, thank them, and acknowledge them. And by doing so you are a rockstar!

Inspiring Rockstars Make Life Great
Inspiring Rockstars Make Life Great. You are a fortunate person when someone in your life cares about making your life great. They are passionate about being on fire…..
Qualities of a rockstar are hard to miss, and great to learn and imitate. We can all learn about being a rockstar, by serving others. Have you seen little kids play in a playground? There is always one or two kids who are always thinking of dynamic ways to make it more fun, and sometimes fun and outrages.
Case in point, I recently went over my sister’s house to celebrate my birthday. My niece is a rockstar, she is a precocious athlete who hit 4 home runs in the boys league, only second to a boy, who hit one more. She also plays 3 musical instruments, and now she is a designer too. She designed a sporty sleeveless jacket (I call it a vest). The craziest thing is she is only 8. Say what? Yes only 8. And she was initially shy about sharing her designs with me, but once I gave her the approval she was looking for; she poured it on. She made my birthday one of the best ever.
Rockstars live today to inspire what is possible tomorrow. My niece is 8 and I am 45, inspired the following….
