Some people achieve extraordinary things during their lives.
Others do something even more powerful.
They help achievement move through them into the lives of other people.
Their ideas are taught.
Their principles are shared.
Their books are passed from one person to another.
Their words encourage someone who is ready to give up.
Their example changes what another person believes is possible.
Bruce Goldwell calls these people Superconductors.
View Book I on AmazonThe Superconductors explores people whose influence extends far beyond their own achievements.
Success is often measured by accumulation.
How much money did someone earn?
How large was the company they created?
How many books did they sell?
How famous did they become?
Those measurements can tell us something about achievement, but they do not tell the entire story.
There is another kind of influence.
It happens when someone's ideas become part of another person's thinking.
When a teacher creates another teacher.
When a mentor helps someone avoid years of mistakes.
When an entrepreneur opens a door for another entrepreneur.
When one person's belief helps another person recover their own.
An idea shared at the right moment can change the direction of another person's life.
What took one person decades to learn can become someone else's starting point.
Sometimes another person sees our potential before we are capable of seeing it ourselves.
Great leaders do more than gather followers. They help other people become leaders.
A recommendation, introduction or open door can alter the trajectory of someone's future.
The greatest contribution may be helping another person recognize that more is possible.
The people explored in The Superconductors became influential not simply because of what they accomplished personally, but because their ideas moved beyond them.
They wrote.
They taught.
They spoke.
They mentored.
They created businesses, movements, systems and philosophies that other people could use.
One person learned something and taught another.
That person carried the idea somewhere else.
Eventually, an idea that began with one human being could influence people that person would never meet.
Influence becomes extraordinary when what one person learns becomes useful to thousands — or millions — of other people.
Bruce Goldwell's interest in human potential did not come entirely from books or classrooms.
His own life included dramatic changes, difficult periods, entrepreneurship, military service, creative work and personal reinvention.
At one point, Bruce found himself homeless in Southern California while still holding onto the belief that his circumstances did not have to determine the rest of his life.
Along the way, he encountered teachers, authors, entrepreneurs and mentors whose ideas helped reinforce that belief.
He became fascinated by a particular kind of person:
People whose greatest accomplishment was not simply becoming successful themselves, but helping other people believe that success was possible for them.
That fascination eventually became The Superconductors.
About Bruce GoldwellYears after the original The Superconductors, Bruce returned to an important chapter from his own life.
CEO Space.
Bruce had experienced something there that perfectly illustrated the Superconductor idea.
Berny Dohrmann had intentionally created an environment where entrepreneurs, mentors, educators, speakers and business leaders could help knowledge and opportunity move between people.
Bruce had been there.
He had watched it happen.
And he had experienced its effect during one of the hardest periods of his own life.
That realization became the foundation for The Superconductors II.
Book II moves from the broader idea of influential Superconductors into a place Bruce personally experienced.
At the center is Berny Dohrmann, founder of CEO Space, along with September Dohrmann and the remarkable people whose knowledge, leadership, encouragement, relationships and contributions helped power The Space.
The book also introduces the concept of Connection Capital and challenges readers to consider a new question:
What is your Superconductor power?
Explore Book II View Book II on AmazonAre you the person who makes introductions?
The person who encourages others?
The teacher who makes difficult ideas understandable?
The mentor who shares what experience has taught?
The leader who creates opportunities for others?
The person who simply seems to know who should meet whom?
You do not have to be famous, wealthy or powerful to become a Superconductor.
You simply need something worthwhile that you are willing to pass forward.
