“The Bigger the Challenges, the Bigger the Reward” an interview with Charlie Collins
Do your challenges energize you or derail you? Imagine that you’re legally blind. Do you allow this to run your life, or do you find ways to turn it into an advantage for you?
Charlie Collins is legally blind, but that has not stopped him. He has made a number of decisions about how to view this challenge that have enabled him to serve massive amounts of people. Join us on the Institute of Success and Goal Achievement to hear what Charlie has done and how “see for yourself” how you can change your perspectives and therefore your results.
Charlie’s sense of humor and genuine personality is evident during this interview. His confidence and “knowing” guide him today to be the success that he is – but as you’ll hear that wasn’t always the case.
The stories that Charlie played in his head were dis-empowering, just like many of the stories you may tell yourself from time to time. Hear what he has to say about any word that starts with “DIS – “, and you’ll understand that the shift Charlie made all those years ago has redefined his life and his results.
I love how Charlie now focuses on serving other people – he is making a difference in the lives of many people. As you listen to the interview, ask yourself how you can replicate what Charlie has done in your life – I am certain you will find it rewarding.

Why This Will Be My Best Year Ever
As I look at the goals I’ve set for this year, I find myself flowing with a mix of excitement and apprehension.
I’m excited because these goals are completely aligned with the life I want to create, and I know that I’m actively designing my results.
I’m apprehensive because:
- Some of the goals are bigger than anything I’ve done before. I can’t yet rely on the familiarity of “been there done that” because it’s new territory for me. In some cases I don’t have a clue what the next (or first) step ought to be, never mind have the whole action plan drafted with steps, due dates, etc.
- I have a lot on my plate. I’m testing my sanity by taking on as much as I have in the hopper right now.
Nonetheless, I’m confident that this will be a great year and I’ll maintain the “work/life” balance I want and still achieve the goals I’ve set. Why? Here’s what I know: Read more
