A return to my roots

I'm not sure if I swore I'd never do it....but I definitely figured I never would. "It" in this case is motivational speaking. I work as a sales trainer and consultant....and although there is a fair amount of motivation in that job, it's not the main priority. I swore off motivational speaking when I realized that an hour (or 4) speech might be nice, might be entertaining....but wasn't in itself going to change many lives.

Now, I'm not so sure. I work with sales reps for days, weeks...sometimes months...and don't see any drastic changes (with some)....so I wonder if it's the method or the person? More and more I feel it's the person. If you're predisposed to apply yourself, be positive and make lasting change...you'll do it. Sometimes you just need the catalyst.

This would have been easier 6 years ago when I had more momentum in this side of the business, and I had more contacts....but hard doesn't mean it can't be done. It simply means I will need to put more effort into it. Human growth and personal responsibility is something I definitely enjoy talking about...so it's not work for me....it'll just be work to get some momentum going...that's all. To that end I've created the Master Motivator video series that I started today. 3-5 minute videos on motivation, personal growth and goal achievement. I don't have a set schedule for how often they'll come about...but at least one per week sounds about right. The first one is below.

Some day I'll be dust. When that day comes I want to leave a legacy of people who were better for having known me, better for having heard the message.....so that starts (again) today.

Peace...(not sure why I look like I'm in so much pain in the still below....)
