Hello!  Welcome to the RealFastResults.com podcast!  We
have a very special treat for you.  Fred Stuvek is the
special guest for this episode.  Fred has a very diverse
background, and he has achieved great success in many areas of
his life.  His wisdom can help you immensely, if it you
choose to apply it. 


Stuvek was born in West Virginia, raised in Pennsylvania, and he
was actually inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame
for his achievements in football, basketball, baseball, and
track.  He attended the United States Naval Academy, and
there, he received three letters as the quarterback of the
Midshipmen.  After his service in the Navy, serving as a
naval officer, he transitioned into the business world, where he
held senior leadership positions in both private and public
companies, domestically and internationally.


The key successes Fred has had include international medical
imaging startups, which led to a very successful IPO (initial
public offering) and forming private medical services groups that
were subsequently sold.  So, from the playing field, to the
war room, to the boardroom, Fred has proven his leadership
throughout his accomplishments.  Additionally, Fred is the
author of a book titled, It Starts with You, which teaches
fundamental principles in management and leadership.  Please
welcome Fred to the show…
Promise: How to Avoid the Traps of First Time
Authors

Thank you for having me.  I look forward to a very lively
discussion, and hopefully, this interview will prove valuable to
all of you.  Life is about decisions.  The life
you are living is the life that you’ve created, and it’s based
upon the decisions that you have made and the habits that you
have formed.  You aren’t a victim of circumstances,
and you aren’t powerless. 


You should not wait for success to happen because, if you do,
it’s going to be a very long wait.  You have to take the
initiative, seize control, create opportunities, and make
something happen.  There is something that you can do to
release the potential that’s within you, but it’s up to
you.  This is a process that takes time, and it requires a
plan, along with the commitment and discipline to follow
through.  However, to do this, there are two things that you
have to do.  You have to develop the mindset and
habits for success, since how you think and how you act define
you as a person.


So, you have to have a plan, with goals, and have the willingness
and ability to follow through.  That is the basic premise of
my book, It Starts with You.  It comprehensively and
specifically instructs you on what you need to do in order to
develop the mindset and habits for success.
