“Whatever you can concieve and believe, you can achieve.”
Assuming you have clarity on your dream, are you a believer in it?
Really?

Have been reading all your different posts, Larry,
Got to say that you are a breath of fresh air. As an official old timer, in the 1970s and 80s (Earl Nightengale era), we had some terrific speakers and motivators. I trust you are the leader of a new generation that will fight against this malaise that has swept across America these days.
As a guy who used to also help National Speakers Association speakers market their services and speaking engagements, I can visualize you fitting in the Nido Qubein and other shakers and movers mold back in ‘that time.’ Nido used to pride himself as the speaker spending the most on each meeting planner package. He had a lot of speakers follow his business model.
Of course if you strap on the same pads and football jersey, audiences expect the same quality to come out of your mouth. I always wanted speakers to create their own style. Sure they could ‘adapt’ what qualities other speakers had–but never ‘adopt’. Sadly, some speakers just couldn’t handle playing in the A Leagues and had to drop their prices and packaging down to fit.
Thanks again for your inspiration, Larry!
Best regards,
Steve

Adopt = follow, legally take and bring it up as one’s own

Adapt = modify, become adjusted to new conditions
