Praise - Insights From a Motivational Speaker
Another stupid little thing that changed my life…
Praise people behind their backs.
While everyone else is gossiping and pulling others down
be the person who gossips and builds others up.
Praise people behind their backs.
Don’t suck up to people. Bad.
Don’t talk them up. Bad.
Don’t try and ingratiate yourself. Bad.
Just genuinely give kudos and credit where it has been earned.
Make a habit of it.
You feel good.
It gets back - eventually - to the recipient.
They feel good.
Be the person known for this.
It will pay off - maybe not for years or decades - but it will pay off.
This simple thing has changed my life.

If we haven’t met yet…
I never considered myself good at change until I went from
-average shot to army sniper
-home movies to National Geographic cameraman
-fumbling card tricks to a professional magician
-never swinging a hammer to building a home
-high school dropout to published author
-business illiterate to building & selling a business
-stutterer to 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.
