Steve Jobs dies a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, and here are some of his last words… 👇👇👇

“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you.

As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 – both of which show the same time. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $2000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 were drunk

Five Undeniable Facts 💥

1️⃣ Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. – So when they grow up they will know the
value of things, not the price.

2️⃣ Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food.

3️⃣ Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he has 100 reasons to give up. He will always find one reason to hold on.

4️⃣ There is a big difference between being human and human being.

5️⃣ If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – go together.

What does Rich mean to you?

Are You Rich?

I love listening to others share what they would do if they won the lottery and how they would spend their money if they were suddenly rich. Throughout my life, I’ve met many individuals who are very rich and had the opportunity to observe what they sacrificed to achieve their level of wealth.

When I started to really think about those individuals recently, I asked myself, “What does being rich mean to me?” The answer was broad, as I feel you can have riches beyond measure in spirit, relationships, impact on the world, and more. For some, like myself, you may be rich in multiple areas of life that have nothing to do with being wealthy.

While there isn’t anything wrong with making money and enjoying it, what might you be missing out on after becoming a workaholic and never seeing your family? Is it worth it? If we allow money to become our God and interrupt the relationships we’ve built, we may turn around one day to find we have no one left to share the wealth with.

I once heard Shania Twain talking with Oprah about how as kids, she and her siblings often weren’t sure if they would have enough money for food on a given day. Now, though she has plenty of money, she can’t always enjoy food because she’s worried about how she looks so she watches everything she eats.

That interview struck me as funny when it got me thinking about how life can turn out. Many people who win the lottery and were getting by before they won take their winnings and go wild with spending then end up filing bankruptcy. It makes me wonder, “Did they really gain anything?” I used to pray we would never win the lottery out of fear that everyone would want money from us rather than treasuring us for the relationships we’ve built with them.

While money can allow you freedom and opportunities, it can also steal them if you let it. This week, I encourage you to consider what being rich means to you and how you can grow those areas of your life to achieve riches beyond measure!

What does living your exceptional life look like to you?

What does being rich mean to you?

If you won the lottery would it add freedom or fear to your life?

When is enough, enough when making sacrifices to grow monetary wealth?

The S in the ABC’s of Success is Story, What story are you sharing, What lessons have you learned from your Story? When we move from Facts to Stories we move from Head to heart. Facts tell and that is important but STORIES sell, because they connect head & heart. They make it easier to remember and implement into someone else’s journey. Share your Stories, teach your lessons, inspire your audiences #BetheException #ABCsSuccess #PineapplePrinciple #MotivationalSpeaker #SalesSuccess

Q stands for Quality in the ABC’s of a Successful Speaking Business

by Leave a Comment

When we remember it is much more important to think about the message we deliver then how many we deliver it to.
Though my plan is to book 100 speaking engagements this year, I know it is most important to deliver a quality presentation every time I have the opportunity to take the stage. I know it is always a privilege to be an influence and I Pray my words make a difference in everyone’s life that hears me sometimes it is most important that I speak hope into one persons life that feels they are losing their battle in life and just needs a little hope. Quality counts!

The Q in the ABC’s of a Successful business is make sure your Product or Service is Quality over Quantity. Quality service and a quality message will get you more referrals, recommendations and endorsements. I hope you think of what your clients will get out of each engagement they have with you. Quality service will lead to life long success in any Business! #BetheException #MotivationalSpeaker #ABCsofSuccess #KeynoteSpeaker #QualityOverQuantity #PineapplePrinciple
