Excuses - Insights From a Motivational Speaker

Excuses are like emotional bubble wrap.
They cushion your ego… but keep you stuck.

I used to think the opposite of power was weakness.
Turns out, it’s excuses.
Every time I stopped explaining my situation—and started owning it—I moved forward. 

Excuses steal our agency.
Because if they are the problem, they have to fix it.
Sneaky, huh? Convenient too.

But here’s the catch:
Blame delays change.
It puts your future in someone else’s hands.
Then we feel stuck… and wonder why.

Agency starts where excuses end.
Take responsibility—and take your power back.

Average shot → Army sniper

Home movies → National Geographic cameraman

Fumbling card tricks → Professional magician

Never swinging a hammer → Built a home

High school dropout → Published author

Business rookie → Sold a business

Stutterer → Motivational speaker

Turns out I know how to change, I know how to make it simple, and I know how to stand on stage & make it fun so others want to do it too.
