Top 7 Videos on Overcoming Obstacles 

If you are trying to accomplish anything in life you will face challenges. I love the podcast “ How I Built This with Guy Raz” which interviews people who start many of the companies we are familiar with. In every episode, I’m amazed at the number of obstacles these people must overcome to reach their goals.

For example, Sal Khan of Khan Academy quit his high paying job to start Khan Academy and after 5 months he had no large donors, a mortgage, and bills to pay, was so worried about his finances he literally couldn’t sleep. But he faced these obstacles and overcame them.
