Dr. Willie Jolley’s principle to win BIG today “HerStory: Rosa Parks – Boycott Your Fears”

 

As we celebrated woman’s History Month, I want to share the success lessons we can learn from the life of Rosa Parks.  We know that she was a seamstress who refused to give up her seat for a white person when the bus driver told her to move. She said no and she said no matter what he said, she was not moving.  She was arrested and that sparked the Montgomery bus from that a young preacher was named to become the leader and his name was Martin Luther King Junior.  And that boycott was the event that led to bus segregation being outlawed, Rosa Parks said, “I learned that a made up mine will diminish fear and when you make up your mind, you can overcome any fear.” She went on to become known as the mother of the movement. 

My lesson for you today?  Is make up your mind.  Tell your fears to sit down and shut up.
