I had been working on a piece to post today when a little bit of motivation found its way into my email box this afternoon. So, instead of posting my originally planned piece, I decided that I should share something different today. But don’t worry … the planned piece will appear soon!
I recently went to a networking event and was fortunate enough to meet a new friend. This new friend of mine has a couple of her own businesses that she is getting started. She is a go-getter who is determined to succeed. My new friend sent me an email today with a message from John Maxwell, a motivation speaker.
The video message was about the word “OUTREACH” – a simple word with a big impact.
I encourage you to watch the VIDEO because the original is always better than the paraphrasing, but I will still paraphrase for you what the message was.
Basically, there are 2 kinds of people in life, those who reach out and those who expect others to reach out to them. Those who are waiting for something to happen will continually be disappointed, but if you reach out you begin to shape your life. The ending message was this: “Take control of your life, take control of your agenda, take control of your dreams, and reach out. You will begin to see good things happen to you.”
By the way, if you you like getting a little daily motivation, go to the John Maxwell website (just click his name to the left) and subscribe to "A Minute with Maxwell." A one minute video message will be emailed to you daily.
So, reach out ... it takes gumption!
