I have been helped throughout my life by many brilliant speakers and people who imparted their wisdom, insight, reasoning, attitudes, and philosophies that helped me enormously.

First of these was Zig Zigler in the 1970s, the originator of the term "stinkin thinkin". In Australia we rarely were visited by such celebrity speakers but Zig Zigler did make the effort and I made the effort to go and listen to him speaking live at a theater.

I learned a lot from W. Clement Stone, founder of an insurance empire, and a man who taught others by his amazing example of how positive thinking and maintaining focus will let you achieve heights you never imagined you could.

Another that come instantly to mind are Tony Robbins, the giant of a man with giant sized compassion for people in poverty and down ln their luck. His talks are not only motivating and inspiring self confidence, but also heart warming for his genuine humanity put into action in so many ways.

There is a long list, but for me the outstanding people who helped me are Jack Canfield, Jim Rohn, and my all time hero, Brian Tracy. Brian Tracey has a wonderful fatherly, humble, honest, and real world way of explaining and demonstrating how everyone has the same opportunities and how and why only a few use those opportunities to reach success in life.

 

I will include some of my own writing here, as well as others that I find in my listening and research. Browse the stories, all are free for you to use as you please, and if you reproduce any information from here, I only ask that you give a credit to this site.
