"MEASURE SUCCESS WITH A CROOKED YARDSTICK"

Meet Leonard Knight who spent 20 years building a mountain in God's honor.  His fascinating story is one of tenacity, unwavering faith, and of living up to one's own potential.

Meet Nancy Townsend, a real life Mother Goose and inventor of duck diapers.  Her remarkable accomplishment comes from following her heart and living her passion each day.  She knows about contentment.

Meet Marta Beckett, a lady with such faith in her eventual success as a dancer that she painted an audience on her theater walls so she wouldn't have to dance alone.  She knows about goal setting. . . .None of them know the meaning of self doubt.
Be inspired by her peculiar cast of real life characters:

	Think wa-a-a-y outside the box in your personal and professional life
	Delight in the wackiness of America's eccentric spirit
	Realize the poignancy in our struggle to go beyond the ordinary
