They Just Want To See The Baby - Lessons From a Motivational Speaker

Change is lonely. Be prepared.

Family, friends and colleagues are more scared of you changing than you are.

Where you see possibility they see uncertainty.

When you’re excited and suggesting new things

They won’t share the enthusiasm.

They can feel judged as you look down from your new position

They can feel left behind as you stride forward

They can feel isolated as you move into new circles

Then to burden them with your struggle as well, is unfair.

Remember you’ve chosen the struggle. Own it.

Instead, comfort them with your results.

No one cares about the labour, they just want to see the baby.

If we haven’t met yet…

I never considered myself good at change until I went from

-free-range kid 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.
