Should Have Listened to My Mother Podcast

My Guest says he "has absolutely no fear of rejection." and he wants you to understand that "you only have one life, don't let fear hold you back from living your life's potential." Sean Kelly has this magic of making you feel that anything is possible . He loves helping people achieve their dreams. That said, he's launched "Do the Big Dream." You can find more information about his 15 step formula for achieving any dream and his foundation pillar skills. More info at http://dothebigdream.com/.

In this episode you're going to hear some eye opening stories of adventures of Sean and his mom, including driving 618 miles from Nevada to California when Sean was a young boy. Linda trusted her son and they relied on each other for many years. Sean will be the first to say that he generally speaks of lessons learned from his father-both good and bad. Sharing his story on SHLTMM was a great opportunity for him to share all the attributes of his mother, Linda.

With Sean's dad already living in Germany, Linda had to work full time to support she and her son. By the age of nine, Sean's parent's divorced, yet thought it a good idea for all to move to Germany together. Living check by check was risking but allowed the trio to have wonderful get-aways, taking Sean out of school and traveling all over Europe. His mom's feeling was that her son was going to learn way more by traveling country to country and seeing all of Europe rather than sitting in a classroom.

Linda was an artist. She was passionate about photography and painting, painting flowers in particular. Unfortunately, she wasn't comfortable sharing her works, possibly because of fear of criticism or judgement. Or perhaps she painted to make herself happy and didn't need to have anyone else see it . Linda was diligent about her craft. She traveled to Paris and visited all the finest museums and studied what interested her most, then went home and painted. Unfortunately, Sean shares details of a tragic end to his mother's treasures.

Linda and Sean's dad met when Linda was a senior in high school and his father, a photographer for a local newspaper after returning from serving in Vietnam. The young couple had a terrible time trying to conceive a child yet while at a revival retreat in Mexico, the minister told Linda that she was in fact pregnant and pregnant with "a very special child." And that "God has great plans for this child." So imagine Sean's mom sharing this story with her son on a regular basis, so Sean clearly felt that he was destined to accomplish great things. Sean shares stories of doubt while engaged in combat in Iraq where he felt he was going to die, yet felt deep down that "I don't think I've fulfilled what God has for me yet," and carried on through combat.

Sean thanks his mother for constantly reinforcing that he's capable of doing anything he wants in life, if he sets his mind to it. Linda also made sure that Sean understood that God had special plans for him.

Sean Kelly is the creator and founder of the very successful tv series here in the US and England, "Storage Hunters."

You can hear more about Sean and his experience of being abandoned by his parents in Italy as a teen on the podcast "Do It Now" with host Sara Moses. He finished high school on his own then moved to Italy, again on his own.

One of Sean's philosophies is "if you want to do something, just go do it." And he's learned from a number of hard knocks in his life as a learning experience.

And please listen through to the end to hear stories of Sean's grandmother who grew up on a farm in North Dakota and was raised by her older brothers and was a business owner when not many women were.
