Bold! Motivational Speech

You know, Ive had a lot of dreams in my life.

I guess you could call me a dreamer. As a young boy I spent a lot of time on my own, so I became pretty good at using my imagination. I remember day-dreaming about far away journeys, great adventures, fabulous success, cool machines, being in the Guinness book of world records, free candy for everyone - you know typical boy stuff.

Amazingly, ALL my dreams all came true. Well, aside from the free candy thing Im still working on that one.

But why me? I mean... why did MY dreams come true, yet this isnt the case for many others? We all dream right? If dreaming was the only requirement needed to make dreams come true, then wed be living in Utopia. And were not at least as far as Ive been able to tell.

It took me almost 50 years, but I think Ive got it figured out. I know the reason MY dreams came true (and continue to) and how YOURS can too. One word: Be Bold!. OK, I know thats two words. Ive never been the smartest guy in the room. And by the way, intelligence is definitely NOT a requirement needed for success I should know!

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would have done anything to get it? And then, part of the way through your journey to get that thing, in the middle of all the pain and the agony and the things-going-wrong, you stop and you ask yourself; What WAS I thinking?

Well I have. And in fact, that is the story of my life. Really.

I've learned that sometimes, this is EXACTLY the kind of attitude it takes to accomplish a dream. In the words of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe;
What you can do or dream you can do, begin it. For boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

When I was 33 years old, I sold my software company to Adobe Systems and I was ready for a new challenge. I decided to step out of my comfort zone - WAY out of my comfort zone. After finishing 12 Ironman triathons and qualifying for Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, I went on to design and build some very innovative human powered machines, and set 2 Guinness world records for the most distance travelled by human power on land and water in just one day. It took me 7 years of trial and error, painful learning curves, failed experiments, and insane physical training but I eventually succeeded. And I lost 60 pounds in the process!

I am now thrilled to be in a position where I am able to realize another dream of mine come true to share my stories and the secrets Ive learned along the way about how others can make THEIR dreams come true.

They say that the purpose of a speech is to change the world, but my goal my DREAM is to change LIVES. I would be honored to have the opportunity to speak to your group as your motivational, or keynote speaker for your next event.

Weather you want to be the best in the world, or the best in YOUR world, begin it because BOLDNESS has genius, power and magic in it. http://www.human-power.com

It takes an indomitable spirit. You can do anything that you truly believe that you can do! It takes a strong internal dialogue...and who do you talk to the most? You. You are a product of your choices!!! To learn more, message me here at Youtube!  Yours in success!

Great video! Why not to upload it also at Fastleader net? It's focused tool for consultants, speakers and managers to sample and share their know-how and experience.

In addition to video it enables to upload audio (e.g. your pod-casts), text (e.g. your articles) and slides (e.g. your presentations). It also enables to create groups to expand touch base with potential clients and send direct messages to other members. Give it a try, please :)
