Are You Motivating

My first question for you is, are people genuinely motivated by you

people who know you people who work with you, Family, friends.

Is there something about you that is inspiring?

Because it’s very hard to just cook this up.

It’s not simply a matter of writing something out, practicing performance skills.

There’s got to be something there.

So the first thing I’m going to ask you to do is, really examine your life the things you’ve overcome what adversity have you made it through.

What about it that you’ve done is impressive to people

now If you were born as one famous motivational speaker was to a one parent family labeled retarded poor and you went on to have success in politics and media.

Well that’s a very inspirational story.

How do you go from down here two way up here.

That’s obviously inspirational and I’m talking about less brown on the other hand, what if you’re born on Park Avenue wealthy wealthy parents want to all the finest schools the greatest education and you ended up rich.

That’s not very motivational to most people because they can’t relate to that and they think well you already started life on third base.

but Michael Eisner the former CEO of Disney is in fact a motivational speaker at conferences because he didn’t just go on to be an investment banker, he took the Walt Disney company and made it many many times larger and innovated there.

So for people who care about the entertainment industry, he’s a motivational speaker.

So my first thing I really want you to reflect on is, what exactly is it about you that people find motivational.

It’s harder and harder these days to simply go to other motivational speakers read all the books, cobble something together and put yourself out there.

It can be done but it’s much much harder.

So that’s my first question.

What about you to other people who know you already find motivating.

Write that down in a sentence or two.
