There was a time when I wasn't focused on speaking with power. I was inconsistent, all over the place, and I wasn't getting anything done. In fact if I'm not careful now, I can revert right back to that mindset, because it was comfortable being lazy. Yet, that was a dangerous place to be, because it didn’t allow me to grow. Thank God I'm smarter than that today because I'm more focused and I don't get distracted like I used to. Today I’m a much more effective and efficient speaker because I’m totally locked in with precision and focus.
In this crazy world filled with distractions, it can be easy to lose focus on what truly matters — your speaker brand. We often find ourselves jumping from task to task, never fully committing to one thing and never truly making a substantial impact. But what if we shifted our mindset & dedicated ourselves to the hard, focused work that is required to make a real difference? We would, more than likely, make a splash on and off the stage.
The truth is, making an impact to the niche God has you to speak to, takes effort and dedication. It requires us to push through the challenges & obstacles that come our way, and to remain committed to our goals even when it feels difficult. But the payoff is worth it. When we put in the hard work & stay focused on our goals, we have the potential to create lasting change and leave a positive mark on the world.
So how can we start to make an impact by doing the hard, focused work?
One key aspect is setting clear goals & priorities. By defining what we want to achieve and breaking it down into smaller, actionable steps, we can stay on track & make progress towards our objectives.
It's also important to eliminate distractions & create a productive work environment that allows us to concentrate fully on the task at hand.
Additionally, it's crucial to stay inspired throughout the journey. Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who share our passion & drive can help keep us motivated and accountable. Seeking out mentorship and guidance from those who have already made an impact can also provide valuable insight & encouragement.
Ultimately, making an impact by doing the hard, focused work is about setting aside the instant gratification & short-term rewards in favor of long-term success & fulfillment. Visualize yourself speaking with confidence, power, and clarity. By staying committed to our goals, pushing through challenges, & remaining focused on our goals, we have the power to make a meaningful difference in the world.
So let's challenge ourselves to put in the hard work & stay focused on our public speaking goals in order to master the stage. Let's strive to make a positive impact by dedicating ourselves to the work that truly matters. Together, we have the potential to create a better world stage for ourselves & future generations.
