Default Get Motivated Seminar

I went to a Get Motivated Seminar last week, and really enjoyed it. Only $5, and it lasts all day, but the speakers are very good. General Colin Powell was my favorite. Mostly talked about leadership. He said "Never be afraid to make people mad." I like that.

Dr. Robert Schuller, the TV Evangelist, talked about taking the word "impossible" out of your life. He discussed the building of his Crystal Cathedral near fault zones in California.

Other good speakers included Rudy Guiliani, John Elway, Terry Bradshaw (He's crazy), Zig Ziglar and others. They do have some speakers who try and sell you on ways to get rich, like beating the stock market and buying tax deeds, but you learn something from each speaker. I was there with 30,000 others who wanted to get motivated. If it comes to your area, I highly recommend that you attend.

Yeh I keep hearing about them, but I really thought that they bring in a few big named speakers then the rest is useless

$5? They must be losing money bigtime, unless they are selling additional services after the show. Either that, or the SPEAKERS are actually paying the show organizer, so that they can promote their book.
