Chase Your Lion

Austin Gutwein, Lion Chaser

Hoops for Hope

I came upon the story of Austin Gutwein and it is truly remarkable. He’s got my vote for the Lion Chaser Hall of Fame. This book (Take Your Best Shot: Do Something Bigger Than Yourself) chronicles his journey to help suffering people in Africa. Ever asked yourself if one kid can make a difference? This book’s answer is a resounding: YES! This story captures the heart of what Chase Your Lion dot com is all about. It’s about people using their passion to fulfill their purpose through amazing possibilities. This book not only tells Austin’s story, but has lots of information on other possibilities that await you.

Failing Forward

Failing Forward

It’s funny how things work out sometimes.  Readers of http://www.heathmullikin.com know that I signed up with a MLM/network marketing company about 6 months ago.  John Maxwell has a book entitled, “Failing Forward”, and that pretty much sums up my experience.  When I joined that company I spent hours researching how to build my business online instead of the more traditional “ask everyone I know to join” approach.  Those hours did not go to waste as my mind and life were opened to whole new world of possibilities.  6 months ago, I didn’t know the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org.  I had never heard of Clickbank, SEO, Adsense, PPC, affiliate marketing, e-books, or SocialOomph.  I didn’t even have a Twitter account at the time.  Gasp!  I didn’t know who David Risley, John Chow, Ty Tribble, or Bill Crosby were.  There came a point of intersection sometime in August when what I had learned online the last 6 months met who I was created to be.  “What am I gonna do?” became chaseyourlion.com.  The education wasn’t always free and the people I learned from weren’t always believers.  They are all lion chasers in their own way, though.  What started out as a quest to make some extra money on the side has become something far more significant.  I will be getting into more detail about all of this in future posts.  And remember, don’t complain about where you are in life because it ain’t ever gonna change until you decide where you’re going.

The Wait is Over!


The day has finally arrived!  At 9 am on October 7, 2009 this site has officially launched.  At this very moment(9 am on October 7 when this posted), I am on the Techology Show announcing the start of something big.  I want this to be a movement.  This site is designed to provide resources and encouragement that will help you discover and pursue your purpose, passion, and possibilities.  I want “chase your lion“, “chase my lion”, and “lion chaser” to become a part of the vernacular.  I want people to associate those words and this site with a life of adventure and meaning.  A few thank you’s before we go any further.  First, to Christ for making my life and all this possible through his grace, love, and sacrifice.  To my parent’s, who didn’t tell me how to be an astronaunt but loved, pushed, and supported me to where I’m at.  To Matt Rhodes, for the logos.  To everyone who has prayed for, loved, and supported me on this journey and to the Soulgloer’s who are showing me that raising the bar can be the norm.  To my wife, Karen, who puts up with my ADHDADD and pushes me to be a lion chaser everyday.  This would not be happening without her.  She is wonderful soul mate to me and mother to our 3 kids, Milena, Charis, and(The)Drake.  And finally, to Mark Batterson, whose book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day stirred something inside of me that has now come to fruition.  My prayer is that it would do the same for you.

A few things before you go:

1.  I would be honored if you subscribed to my blog by hitting that big orange button on the right.

2.  Sign Up for the Newsletter as well.  It will be different from the blog and come every week or so.  Aweber has a strict no spam policy so you’re info is safe.  Keep your ears open because there will be contests for subscribers and the first prize is going to be a certain book which provided the inspiration for this site.  That’s right.  I’m going to give away 10 copies of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, but you’ve got to keep tuned in for the when, where, and how.

3.  Join the Revolution and follow on Twitter, Facebook, and all the other social media stuff that causes Deborah Rhodes to want to plan an intervention for me.  Retweets and @mentions are greatly appreciated to spread the word.

4.  Join me in praying that lives are changed through this site.  I want it to help people find meaning and have eternal value.

Thanks for your support.  I look forward to getting to know many of you.  Have a blessed Day.
