Not A Motivational Speaker

People always ask me "Are you a motivational speaker?" and just, right away, off the bat, I say "No!". I dont motivate people. What I do is share with them tools and I share with them a process and how to define a goal. Because once you have a process and you have a goal and you have tools, then you can apply it in your life and you can lean on your own spine. I know a lot of people in my industry who do self-development and coaching...

Dont do that! You know, because its not a good business model. A good business model is where you have somebody coming back to you again and you create re-occuring revenue, so you dont solve their problems. You inspire them because you know their inspiration will go after a few weeks and they'll come back and buy more. Its a drug! I dont want people coming back, I want them to solve their own problems.

You know, figure out their life and use the tools in their life to create what they want. We're just born into this world and people are just like "here! Learn your nursery rhymes and learn your ABCs, 123s, go to school, learn geography, learn history, science, the periodic table... "Why? When are you ever going to use the periodic table again? But simple things, like basic life human skills, we never get taught. So we believe that energy is always flowing out of us to people and things around us. And one of thw ways to get enlightenment is to first stop the loss of energy. Then you harness that energy from going out of you, you withdraw it into you, you concentrate it, you channel it up your spine, into your head, to awaken higher states of consiousness. But in order to do that you need to conserve as much energy as possible.

The more people you have in your life, the more things in your life, theore energy you expend. Simplify your life! Everybody is so busy. Everybody's got a lot of things to do. We dont actually have a lot of things to do! We like being distracted, cause then we dont have to think about ourselves? Well, yeah! And we dont have priorities in life. Most people dont have clear priorities in life. My goal is to simplify my life, simplify the number of people in my life and aimplify the number of things in my life.

We only have a finite amount of energy each day. But every year we have more people in our lives. Is that a fair statement? More facebook friends, more people you're connectes with... but your energy stays the same.
