Since starting my own business, I’ve always had a Google alert in place for my name, Andrew Rondeau.
So each day I get an email which lists where the phrase, “Andrew Rondeau” has been used.
I get to see what people are saying about me…good and bad.
Well I recently saw my name against this quote:
“Andrew Rondeau has big dreams”
I thought I don’t remember saying that.
Of course, I am not the only Andrew Rondeau in the world but it is a pretty unique name…, which means 99% of the alerts are about me.
But this one wasn’t.
There is an even bigger star than me…out there! LOL
A guy who is going places…
A guy who is getting peoples attention…
A guy who has big dreams…
Watch this video and see what I mean.
Cool! Seems to be a great guy. If you search for my name online I come about sixth in Google though my name is more common. I used to come second after a circus clown and juggler but as I don’t really care I’ve dropped down the rankings 🙂

Can you juggle? We want to see the video!

Hey Andrew

As long as you have a thick skin for when someone says something bad!

Hey Andrew,
I think this should inspire us, those that are 100% healthy. He still followed his dream in spit of many obstacles I am sure he met and he did find his way to success.
If we would all be so determined.
I didn’t searched for my name, but I know there was a tennis man that appeared in a lot of news papers and all the results were for him.
Alex,
I agree…determination and don’t let hurdles get in the way.
Andrew
Hi Andrew
I never thought to put my name in Google alerts. As you say; have to be prepared for the bad as well as the good, so maybe not such a good idea lol

I cannot see anyone saying bad things about you!
Andrew
I thought my name was unusual until I discovered the internet. Now I’ve found 13 in the USA and a few overseas. But I dominate the SERPs – I’m an SEOer – if I can’t dominate for my own name, I wouldn’t be very good.
Very nice video. I’d be proud to share a name with him.

It’s fun seeing who else has the same name especially when your name is unusual.
My wife’s name is Joy and there is a Joy Rondeau who is a big name in disabled sport.
Andrew
Have you thought of contacting him?
I have thought about it…just wasn’t sure weather to or not.
Perhaps I should!
Andrew
Wow that video is some kind of big time paradigm shifter. I’m still sorting it out. It puts all stereotypes at risk and that’s a good thing. Thanks
