You. Front and center.

One of my favorite things is going to seminars. I always take away a nugget (or a gold brick) of wisdom that I need. Mark Victor Hansen, Zig Ziglar, James Ray - all this guys have inspired me at one time or another. But I remember one experience very very vividly. It was the day I asked myself ‘why can’t I be on stage sharing what I am passionate about? How did these people get there?’.
Then ‘whap’ - I got it. They gave themselves permission to be up there. They asked for the opportunity, and they went for it. Ah-ha!
Within a year I found myself in front of 300 people, then 700 people doing of all things - asking for money! I gave myself permission to be stage, and the opportunity to speak at a fundraiser for my favorite non-profit showed up. Was I scared? Of course. Did it work out OK? Yes. We raised over $500,000 between two luncheons!
So, I ask you, what is possible for your life? What do you want for yourself, your family, your community?
I encourage you to take a few moments to ask yourself just that. Once you do you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that unfold!
