Personal branding inspiration you’ll likely remember for quite some time.
1) Do something amazing with a basic, everyday object
Most people’s yoyo skills are limited to making one go up and down, if they can even do that, which makes Jensen Kimmitt all the more impressive.
One of the things I love about this clip is that he’s so good, you don’t even notice how many mistakes he makes, which is a terrific message in itself: how well you recover from failure is often key to success.
2) Win, lose or just reach the final rounds in a famous contest
