Hi Sheri,
I have been receiving your emails for years and they have always been great. I have a question and I thought of you. O.K. I have been with this man for over 7 years and one of his dreams is to be a motivational speaker, and believe me I know he could do it. He has this aura about him that no matter what forum he may be in when he speaks you can hear a pin drop in the room. He first started in the church he studied to be a minister and he was great but during that time he knew that wasn't really what he wanted to do that is when he got really involved in reading Don Miguel's books and he found something he totally believed in. So my question is this is. His passion is touching and inspiring people to grow with in themselves. I know, from speaking on a personal level with this man he makes me feel I can move mountains . How does one get started to be a motivational speaker? That is where he is stuck at. He wants it but yet does not really know how to get started. I would LOVE to help him reach this goal because he has helped me in my journey to meet mine and I know how much he could help others (and already has) so if you could give me so ideas about how he could make his dreams could come true it would be one of the greatest gifts you could help me give him.
Thank you so Much for Your Time,

Dear Wants to Help,
As you can see passion is nice - but how can he inspire others if he does not have absolute faith in himself? He must learn to own his power by talking action in life one small step at a time. It is not your responsibility to do anything for him - or you will not allow him to come into his power. (However, you can help him to help himself.) If he makes you feel like you can move mountains - why isn't he moving his own mountains? Not knowing how to do something is not an excuse. There are many people in this dream that can help us do anything - but we need to ask for ourselves and feel we are worth it - and get out there and speak to people in that field to learn.
I had no idea how to become a speaker - I simply started taking action to contact places to speak in my local area - even if it was for free or for love donations. One must build a reputation based on action not words. So yes he has the talk - but for someone to really listen they must see us walk that talk. If people see him out there taking action - that is inspiring. For me I don't care how good someone sounds - what makes me excited is what they have created for themselves due to their faith in God working through them.
Does that make sense?
Love, Sheri
