We are human. We are not perfect.We are
alive. We try things. We make mistakes. We
stumble. We fall. We get hurt. We rise again.
We try again. We keep learning. We keep
growing. And we are thankful for this
priceless opportunity called life...!

1. Think as if Your present circumstances are the
result of your past thinking and your future will be
the result of what you are thinking now. Your
thoughts have to be higher than your present
circumstances for you to rise higher. Constantly tell
yourself that you already have what you are striving
for. If you do this, your behaviors and mental images
will harmonize with those thoughtsand take you
closer to your goal.
2. Concentrate on one definite goal in life If you
direct your energy toward too many objectives at
once, you wont make enough progress in either
direction. In order to move forward, you have to
literally walk down a singular path toward a major
definite purpose that defines whatyou want to do
most with your life.
3. Aim high Think about the goals you have set for
yourself. Are they really the most that you are
capable of? Chances are, youre better than you think
and you can do things that you previously never
thought possible. Everyone has potential inside of
them like a seed but you need to elevate your
thoughts to harmonize with that potential. If the
goals you have set for yourself are mediocre, double
their height and tell yourself that youre good enough
to achieve them. Youll only attempt what you think
you can do.
4. Give more than you receive One of the greatest
guarantees in life is if you give theworld the best
that you have to offer, you are almost certain to be
rewarded in some way. Anything that is noteworthy
is only attainable by first giving something of equal
or greater value.
5. Do what you love Only by doing what you love
will you have enough motivation topersist during
times of difficulty. All you have to do is look at your
habits and find a way to profit from them. This could
very well be the best way to achieve outstanding
success.
6. Develop your strengths Becauseof heredity and
environmental influences, you havestrengths or the
potential for strengths that most people do not have.
Your strengths are your best asset for moving passed
the resistance youll run into. Dont ignore them. If
you are good enough at what youdo, there will be a
demand for it and you will be rewarded for providing
value to people

1.Evaluate your "special" message. Consider what it is that you have to say that is of value to others. Have you experienced great adversity, or received some specialeducation? In order to succeed as a motivational speaker, your message must be connected to the needs and aspirations of your audience.
2.Carve out your niche. Motivational speaking is, in many ways, a product that must be sold.Why should someone pay to hear you impart your message? Be ableto articulate your unique experiences and show exactly howyour message can benefit your listeners.
3.Create an outline of your presentation. This will be used not only to provide a framework for your talk but also as a marketing piece for potential clients. Furthermore, many people are visual learners and can gain more from a visual representation than a spoken one.
4.Contact large, not-for-profit corporations and professional groups and make it clear you are available. While there is nothing wrong with directly asking for a gig, announcing your availability willlet them feel privileged to work with you.
5.Contact speakers' bureaus and notify them of your availability. Some speakers' bureaus charge you to list your services, others charge nothing. Most bureaus takea percentage for acting as your agent. Search for "speakers' bureaus" on the Internet. Also make sure your marketing material is "bureau friendly". You can do this by removing your contact information and website URL from all marketing material. This ensures that when they send your information to prospective clients they keep the integrity of the working relationship.
6.You must be willing to work for free to get your name out. Once others hear your interesting storyor experience, they may want to hire you. Inform everyone you know that you are available for organizations who want a good motivational speaker. Volunteer tospeak at service clubs in your area.
7.Write and publish articles or books in order to establish yourself as an authority in your subject. You do not need to publish a book people will find in the local bookstore. Post to websites like wikiHow and submit to on-line magazines and blogs.
8.Draw up a written agreement, orcontract, for all engagements. Thewritten agreement should contain,among other matters, how the fees will be paid (e.g., cash, check, over time), how long you are expected to speak, whether you will be reimbursed for travel expenses, and the time and date. This will help to avoid any disputesat a later time.
9.Always ask for feedback after every presentation even if you feel confident that you have nailedit. Whether you prefer that the audience fill-up a standard form orjust ask them to drop you a note at a fishbowl on a side table, chances are good that you will be a better motivational speaker if you develop this habit. Positive feedback will inspire you while negative feedback will make you aspire to do better. After all, FEEDBACK is indeed the breakfast of success!
10.Continue creating unique and valuable content. Staying relevant will allow you to make it in the speaking industry for the long term. By creating valuable contentfor your audience you will build your name and brand. A lot of speeches that professionals book come from word of mouth referrals, so creating high brand equity will help you book more business. As you speak more and deliver high value content, you canraise your speaking fees. Remember, the only way you get paid more is if your message, content and customer experience is worth more. Strive to provide great value to your customers and you will be rewarded.
