Patrick Barrett, President of Driver Ed in a Box®, and author of the popular Driver Ed in a Box® course that guarantees teens users will drive their first year collision-free (https://www.driveredinabox.com) said “Here’s man (George Foreman) who’s achieved amazing success – two-time world heavyweight champ, a minister, an author of thirteen books, a legendary entrepreneur and yet he considers his marriage and his family as his greatest achievement.”
George pointed out that the only piece of jewelry he wears is his wedding ring because he doesn’t want anything else distracting from what he considers the major accomplishment of his life.
George Foreman, discussing his book Knockout Entrepreneur, mentioned the highs and lows of his life and said that his philosophy is that no one can defeat you except yourself because “you’re beat when you don’t do your best”.
Regarding his ministry and his George Foreman Youth and Community Center, Mr. Foreman said that instead of preaching to the young folks that come to his center, he only tries to set a good example. In his words, “the best sermon in the world is an example”.
John Barrett said “I’ve been a big fan of George Foreman ever since I read a couple of his books. Meeting him was inspirational.”
When asked about the advice that George gives his own children, George said he likes to tell them “Good things happen early.” He knows kids like to sleep in, but he made his kids get up early to get a good start on the day.
