Do you remember when you were young and your teachers would ask you to write about your idol?  Or a role model you had?  Well, even though we’re a bit older now it never hurts to have someone to look up to.

And if you’re in need of someone to aspire to be, then have a look at Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul.  This man started at the bottom, but now he can command $10,000 for a single seminar.  Not bad if you ask me.

But he didn’t start out this way.  Back in 1971 he was making $25 to talk in front of a group and that’s after driving one and half hours in a snowstorm first.

This article below is pretty cool in that it outlines how he made it from the bottom to the top.  There’s no time like the present to start emulating the best and brightest out there.

Canfield’s appearances command as much as $35,000 a day.

For international venues, he receives as much as $70,000. So far he’s hit 38 countries.
