What a great year 2010 turned out to be. My wife and I were blessed throughout the year with tremendous opportunities, amazing new friends, and the opportunity to positively impact so many people’s lives. And now, with 2011 just around the corner, I’ve got a little housekeeping to do…
A Powerful Message
First, I’m excited to inform you that I have a new book coming out. A few months back, I gave one of my best keynotes ever entitled: You Gotta Love This Economy. My audience included approximately 500 auto dealers, many of whom had been dealing with difficult, costly changes over the past several years. Haven’t we all? When I finished my speech, I was thrilled with the tremendous response. People started lining up with their business cards in hand, asking me to come share the message
You Gotta Love this Economy with their teams.
The feedback I kept hearing was that my message was so strong and direct — and inspiring. I am excited to announce I plan to share this message, which includes concrete steps anyone can follow ton take action now and achieve their goals. I promise it will change how you look at this, or any economy and how you can drive sales to your company’s bottom line. Watch for the pre-order form in the New Year! Those of you who subscribe to my newsletter will get the first editions.
Please Help with Your Vote!
Next up, what could be more welcoming in the New Year than a public forum? This is one of those opportunities in life that is so huge, it’s almost impossible to wipe the smile off my face. In 2009 I was nominated as one of America’s top five speakers in Sales/Customer Service. I didn’t win in 2009, but I’ve been nominated again for the second straight year. Those of you in the public speaking business know that this is a really big deal. Just getting nominated gives me recognition among my peers. But, winning one of the top five spots would give me what I really want: nation-wide recognition which, in turn, will help me continue my journey to realize my vision of raising the self-esteem of the human race with more opportunities to meet and coach more people. Next time you see me, I might be wearing running shoes morning, noon and night just to keep up! But, to be one of the Top 5, I need a lot of votes. This is where you can help!

Recognition of excellence in speaking is based on: expertise, professionalism, innovation within the topic area, presentation skills and, of course, votes.
