One of the subscribers of my motivational newsletter wrote about how he has a great invention. But sometimes he feels so discouraged. And I wrote back:
In the last article I wrote, I said that if you and I are not failing, our chances of ever succeeding are slim to none. In life there are no guarantees. If everyone knew for a fact that a certain action would guarantee a certain result, more people would be willing to step out.
If I were you, I would definitely take the trip to Florida. After all, you have nothing to lose. In fact, you have everything to gain. Each time to meet with a so-called investor or potential partner, you learn news ways to make better presentation for your product.
Many of the people who want to come on board with you will turn out to be nothing but talkers. But how do you weed out the talkers? Well, it's hard. Some people can really talk a good game. They can deceive you as well.
But you see, life is a numbers game. In order to win, you have to play the numbers. You can't expect to meet one person with all the answers and money to help you. It would be too easy. And trust me, that one ideal person is lost in a sea of up-to-no-good people. Your job is to start going through those people immediately until to get to the one who really can help you.
And so, if you are not experiencing disappointments at some level, you are not making progress. Having said that, I think you should go to Florida to meet with the guy. And you might take the time to visit with your friend and enjoy the sunshine. Who knows, maybe you are due for a vacation. The guy may turn out to be what you are looking for or he may waste your time. Again, you just never know.
If you study the lives of the greats such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and countless others, you will realize how touch it was for them starting out. They, too, had to go through the same challenges you are going through with your invention. But they never give up. They keep knocking on doors. If they didn’t, you would have never heard of their names.
I want to encourage you to never give up or be discouraged. You are much closer than you might imagine. Keep running the race. Keep meeting with people. Yes, others may think that you are crazy. They might even ridicule you behind your back. But do not let that deter you. Life only rewards those who deserve to be rewarded.
Dare to press on my friend and believe you can and you will!

Christian Speaker
Just for the records, I am a Christian speaker. Of course I don't preach when I am on the platform. After all, I get paid big money to boost morale in the corporate arena. I am sure the person writing the check would not appreciate me having church in their organization.
But what I mostly want to say is that I respect everyone's faith. Although it would be of great concerns to me if your belief is destructive to you and those around you. We are not here to make life miserable to anyone. Our job is to leave this place knowing we have made a positive contribution in other people's lives.
As a christian motivational speaker, I believe me must have compassion and humility. Those are the great characteristics of Christ. And so, I don't want to condemn anyone nor do I want anyone to condemn me. I don't want to appolize for my faith either.
It obvious no matter what our views are when it comes to religion, we inevitable will offend someone. I am sure someone will happen to come accross this and feel insulted. But intention is everything. It's not in my nature to offend others.
There you have it my friend. I just answer the question so many from all over are asking me. I am a Christian. And I aim to love all people regardless of their faith, backgrounds and color. Everyone has some basic goodness in him or her. Our first premise should always be to tap into that basic goodness.
Press on!

The Secret to Being Wildly Successful
Now, I am going to be brutally honest with you. If you are not enjoying some kind of success in your life, something is mighty wrong. Everyone has to be successful at something. It is in our nature to thrive.
My question to you is: Why aren't you successsful? What's stopping you?
If you don't know the answer, I guess I can help you figure it out. YOU are afraid. Fear is holding you back. Simply put, you are not taking enough risks. You have being playing it safe for too long. Every player, no matter what game they are in, knows that in order to score, they have risk being hurt.
So, decide right now that you are going to do something you are afraid of. And be willing to be hurt, disappointed and rejected. If fact, I want to congratulate you ahead of time. The very fact that you step out and do something that you are afraid of puts you in an elite group.
Go ahead, step out and dare to do what most people would not have the guts to do.
Well, my friend I just share with the secret to being wildly successful. Let me repeatly it for you so that you can really think about it. The secret is.... Take risks and do what you are afraid of.
Press on!
P.S. If you are still not sure what to do to get what you want, check out my book Kick Your Excuses Goodbye. It will be the biggest wake up call you will ever get in your life.

Kick Your Excuses is Doing Excellently Well
Many thanks to everyone who bought my book Kick Your Excuses Goodbye. Wow! What an awesome privilege to share the ideas and strategies that have shaped my life over the years with others from all around the world.
It's an honor to be a light in the middle of their darkness. I remember when I was living in a total dark corridor in an impoverished village in Haiti, I really didn't know my life would be what it is today. But along the way, many loving souls showed up and light up the way for me.
Today, I am happy to return the favor. I am happy to be a catalyst for change. Those of you who have not red the book, I highly encourage you to pick up a copy. I gotta tell you that money is not what's keeping anyone from reading Kick Your Excuses Goodbye.
Based on all the letters and emails I received from people from around the world, I can tell you that one cannot put a price tag on the book. Here's a classic example: Yolanda read my book and finally made the decision to enter law school. Now, how much you think that is worth? Priceless.
This is my whole point. I hope you join forces with you and encourage your friends and family members to read the book. Who knows, one day they might call you their hero.
I wish you incredible success on your journey.
Press on!
