UlTImATE SUccESS GUIdEI know some of you are saying right now, this guy is crazy! Well, try
this: Go out and find a speaker – any speaker that is already earning a
good living with their speaking ability – and ask them if this happens to
them with any regularity: A man or a woman they’ve never met before
approaches them and says something like: “It is as if you were sent spe-
cially to speak to me.” Ask the successful speaker point blank if there is
ANY truth in this tool and pay close attention to what they say.
Action: Go out and speak, ready or not, for free or a fee and find your
fans as they will do more for your sense of value than anything else in
the world. Once you discover that people you’ve never met are waiting
for you to come speak to them; you will discover an interconnectedness
that exists which no scientist can explain.
tol 3.o Rediscover Socrates and the power of the Socratic Method. The en-
tire bedrock of modern western thinking and its civilization can be traced
back to the work of Plato’s teacher, Socrates, who lived in Greece about
2,500 years ago. Socrates was a professional speaker! He never wrote any-

and acts today! How’s that for the power of the spoken word!
Socrates helps us understand the single most important tool of the hu-

Socrates teaches us that armed with nothing but our ability to ask ques-

Action: Ask questions like the one that liberated me from my mental
jail: What if I could turn my biggest obstacles into my assets and the
reasons people will hire me at a high fee? Get weird! Really weird!!!
Ask things like: How can I turn this horrible experience I am having into
THE most empowering experience of my life? Powerful questions will
change your life forever!
t4.ool Action item: Find new friends and if possible befriend your fam-
ily. It is imperative that you surround yourself with people who believe
in you. If you are having a hard time believing you are worth more, one
reason is because you have negative people in your life who remind you
every day how little you are worth. Their petty message is penetrating
