When I was nine years old living in a small town in North Carolina,I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children's magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I asked my mother to let me send for the cards. Two weeks later when the cards arrived, I opened the parcel, caught the cards and rushed from the house. Three hourslater, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money. A sales-person was born.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler.I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler's talk, which made everyone excited. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, "Dad, I want to make people feel like that." My lather asked me what I meant. "I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler," I answered. A dream was born.
Recently, I began following my dream of motivating others. After a four-year job in a big company beginning as a sales trainer and ending as a sales manager, I left the company in the end. Many people were surprised that I would leave after getting a great income. And they asked why I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my decision to start my own company after attending a sales meeting. The chairman of our company delivered a talk that changed my life. He asked us, "If a genie would give you three wishes, what would they be?" After we wrote down the three wishes, he asked, "Why do you need a genie?" i knew I was ready and did not need a genie's help to become a motivational speaker. I wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if only..." later on. A motivational speaker was born.
