The roar of fitness icon Arnold Schwarzenegger reaches far and beyond the bodybuilding circles. He is one of the most celebrated immigrant success stories showing anything is possible with hard work and determination. He turned his life into a masterpiece by carving each step of the way with an uncanny sense of progress and profitability. When other bodybuilders struggled with monetary challenges, Schwarzenegger had multiple business ventures to sustain himself. The ingenious entrepreneur would start a mail-order business and lecture at seminars during the 1970s. It was a minor example of what the 7x Mr. Olympia could do. Furthermore, the world witnessed his greatness on the silver screen and political corridors.

“That guy dominated three separate, totally different spaces that maybe you could give him the first one that says well he was meant to do it…….. hold on maybe they had natural talents and instincts but the second and third thing that he dominated in his life those weren’t natural Instincts,” said Perkins to underscore the value of commitment. Perkins further added, “.. he had to learn how to be a politician. He had to learn how to be an action hero, so that’s what I’m wondering.”
By giving the above example, the host wanted to humanize the balance sheets that drive decisions related to financial matters. On hearing the reference, Susan Stone agreed that even business matters go beyond metrics to look at the individual’s potential. The engaging conversation draws attention to the limitless drive of the Terminator to always stay on top of the game. However, everyone needs a guide who believes in the creative abilities of an individual. Susan Stone shows her faith in an entrepreneur by creating a financial cushion. Similarly, the godfather of bodybuilding, Joe Weider, took Arnold under his wings, always acting as a calm voice of sanity in the turbulent water of fame.
Joe Weider remained a long-time confidant of Schwarzenegger
Joe Weider and Arnold Schwarzenegger have almost shared a father-son bond since his arrival in America. When the Fubar actor was relatively unknown on the golden sands of Venice beaches, Joe Weider gave backing to the Terminator.

Furthermore, the Austrian Oak paid homage to Weider’s contribution, in his daily newsletter early this year. On the co-founder of IFBB’S tenth death anniversary, Arnie highlighted Weider’s contribution to bodybuilding. “He’s one of the reasons I refuse to be called self-made. Joe was a jewel. He treated me like the son he never had”, revealed Schwarzenegger.

Furthermore, Weider never stopped being a parental figure to Arnold. Even when Conan the Barbarian actor transitioned to movies, Weider remained a confidant of the former Governor. He added, “After sending me my plane ticket, never stopped giving me business advice on bodybuilding, family, on everything. My life wouldn’t be what it is without Joe.” These intricate details testify to the gratitude Arnie feels toward his mentor. Arnie’s humility and passion are the crowning jewels of his persona.
