How to be a “mini” motivational speaker
Some love motivational speakers, others can’t stand them. But you can’t say they aren’t helping anyone. Anthony Robbins practically sells out stadiums and I’m sure has change more than one person.
What is it that millions of people are drawn to them for? They hold hope for the future and answers to the most pondered questions. Would you like to be able to empower and inspire people? You probably don’t want to go cross-country and give talks to huge audiences but maybe you’d like to become a “mini” motivational speaker to assist your friends and family to follow their dreams. If so, then here are some tips on how to do it.
Open up
Let your friends and family know about your success and failures. Tell them about your dreams and desires, no matter how crazy they may seem.
Discover their dreams
Find out what type of goals and dreams your friends and family members have. Even if they are shy to tell you or don’t really respond, keep asking. They definitely have big dreams but might be embarrassed to share them.
Ask
Ask why they aren’t chasing their dreams. You’ll get many excuses, from “I don’t have enough money” or “I had kids”.
Explain
Explain that they are limiting themselves and deferring their life until it’s too late. They need to chase what they want NOW.
Plan together
Help create a plan with your family or friends. List all your dreams and keep it visible to everyone. Create a plan for the next year or for the next five years.
Take action
Empower everyone to take action towards their goals and do it together. Check up on them often to see how they are doing.
Tell some stories
Tell your family or friends about success stories you have heard or read about. Motivational speakers always give real life examples of people chasing their dreams and succeeding, so you should as well.
Make it fun
Motivational speakers are always energetic and fun. You will need to be too. None of your friends or family will want to hear from you if you’re irritating them.

The money that can be made eventually by people who have honed their craft should be motivation enough to take your points on board…
Very true, but money shouldn’t be the sole motivation.
