Slimy scam, smart business model or insightful day?

Today I attended a “Get Motivated” event. I experienced 8 hours of elite speakers.

Message takeaways from each speaker:

Colin Powell (who was amazing)

• Recognize people in your world and your team’s purpose
• Small acts of kindness make a big difference
• The organization’s success is mandatory; if someone is not carrying his or her weight, make a change

John Walsh (who shared an important message)

• People, their passion and causes can make a difference in this world
• When life hands you your greatest loss, turn the situation into positive change to help others

James Smith (who was very entertaining)

• If you are not in the game, you’ll never win
• Self responsibility is not an option

Apolo Anton Ono (who is such an inspiration and so cute)

• Embrace a zero regret mindset
• The journey is as rewarding as the win

Zig Ziglar (who is a legend, but getting old)

• Healthy relationships impact your business success
• When you get old and can’t speak the way you once did, add video to your presentation

As a speaker, I love to watch other speakers. As a entrepreneur, I’m always looking for gems of wisdom and as a human in the rat race, I’m forever seeking added motivation.
