“Finding your OWN voice!”
Always be authentic
Be True to Yourself!

You got your very first real
job...
Dishwasher, Grocery Bagger,
Waitress, or Stock Boy
You were embarrassed to
admit that you were doing
“that” job, and your mother
suggested that you
“Take Pride in what you do,
regardless of what you do.”
If you are unable to
Take Pride in What You Do
Maybe you shouldn’t be doing it!
There will be no Sugarcoating this:
If you don’t like the company you work for . . . LEAVE
If you don’t like the product or service you sell . . . find a new product or service
If you don’t like the work you do . . . . change the way you work or change your work
If you don’t like the people you work with . . . learn to adapt or find new people
If you don’t like your friends . . . get new friends
If you don’t like your family . . . suck it up, they are your family and the only ones who HAVE to love you!
If you don’t take pride in the work you do, the training you deliver, and the products and services you sell “they” will know it.
They see right through any facade you try to put up and it will act like a huge brick wall standing between you and great success. If you simply cannot take pride in what you do you need to Find Your Passion.
Take Pride in What You Do
and
Success will come.

You did something, and you
tried to blame someone else.
Maybe you had a sibling
named “I Dunno” as in:
“Who made this mess?”
“I Dunno!”
You may have thought your
parents had the word STUPID
stamped on their foreheads but
they knew,
and you were told to
“Take Responsibility.”
I have spent time with thousands of seminar attendees, conference goers, and clients, and the thing that concerns me most about our society and where it is going over the next 20 years is
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
It would seem these days that the majority of people think someone else should be responsible for everything.
Here are some shocking real life examples I have experienced recently with clients and attendees:
A client paid for 12 hours of coaching and only used 2 hours of time in a year because “they were too busy to get coaching”
25 people registered AND PAID for a webinar, and 14 showed up
A client who has a library of development resources that he admitted he has never looked at
A classroom attendee asked her boss if she should spend $40 on a book that would help her
Talk is cheap, and paying for a book is easy, but taking action is required and the only way to get results.
What will it mean to you WHEN:
You stand out from the crowd?
You provide value to the people unlike what they have experienced?
You create customers for life?
You create a Personal Brand and reputation that is so strong you never have to market yourself because everyone else does it for you?
If you want to be successful and generate the kind of results you deserve, you are probably screaming YES to each of these. Well then:
Take Responsibility
Take 100% responsibility for everything you are and everything you do.
Here is a list of some of the items you need to take complete responsibility for in your own world:
Your Health
Your Wealth
Your Fitness
Your Skills and Personal Development
Your Time
Your Attitude
