For context, after watching Kevin Marius’s DebX talk (shared here in the Inspiring Speakers community), I was inspired to write my own. As I have done a hundred times before, I sat at my keyboard and typed out the words: “New Seminar – (title)” As the ideas raced into my head, I typed. Tell them this. Then this. Then this. And then I stopped and I smiled. I scrolled back to the top of the page and ever so slightly changed the words. “New KEYNOTE – (title)” Because that is how you change your life, by changing the little patterns you do. By taking what you already now, and applying it to a new endeavour (Thanks for that @David Corsini) The keynote is written and I cannot WAIT to market it! YES!

With the new year fast approaching, this is my wish … I wish you peace, the kind best experienced after a full day of hard work but not so much that you become complacent or lazy. I wish you stress, not the overwhelming kind but just enough to keep you trying and winning more often that you lose. I wish you challenges and rewards. The kinda challenges you overcome over time by resting but never giving in. And rewards thst are earned not won. Because most of all, I wish you wisdom and confidence and neither of those are earned from the cheap seats or by criticizing others. Wisdom comes from trying, failing, learning and trying again with your newfound knowledge. And confidence comes from knowing you may not have faced this challenge before but you have faced others and overcome. As a result, deep inside your spirit whispers, “We got this.” Bottom line, an easy life makes you weak and being weak makes you vulnerable and I would never want that for you. So I pray 2026 keeps you on your toes (with intermittent periods of deep rejuvenating rest) so that finally, by yearend, you realize just how well you dance. And you never doubt it again. I love you!

Years ago, I was asked the popular question, "If you had a million dollars, what would you do?" And without hesitation, I answered, "More of the same." It was in that moment that I knew I was living my dream. That fact is reconfirmed this week, as my excitement for the new year in business begins. Monday, it starts. Monday, the race towards new targets, new goals, new goals begins. Monday, my ability to help others and bring them together begins again. And I am so pumped! The office has been cleaned and organized. Soon, it begins! Are you ready for it?

This might be the pause you need! The vacation season gives us something rare — space. Space to slow down, reflect, and quietly realign with what truly matters. If you’re feeling a little reflective (or creatively restless), this is a good time to revisit our Replay Library of Inspiring Talks — built over the past 32 weeks. 32 weeks of powerful conversations Watch the replays here: https://www.skool.com/inspiring-speakers-bureau-4973/watch-the-replays-of-inspiring-talks-and-join-us-live Did any talk give you a new idea or question?

The preparation for a year of EPIC success begins... Yesterday, the tree came down. In its place, my "weekend office" is now set up - a desk flanked by the books I love. Today, the sorting begins, the bins that never got unpacked. The handouts that need to be filed away to guarantee easy access when they are needed. At some point, an office deep clean will happen. Bit by bit, day by day, I prepare for January 5th when the fun begins again. But first, I prepare. Success takes preparation, after all.
