I wasn't going to write about the Get Motivated! seminar that I went to yesterday, but then I saw the article that the SJMN had on their front page on Michael Phelps and his participation at the seminar.
I must admit that I was a little ticked off at the attitude that the writer had. It probably wouldn't have hurt if the writer had actually spoken to the people that attended the seminar. I guess that I'm one of the those "underemployed" commercial realtor that attended to get motivated in these difficult times. It probably wouldn't hurt if the writer got a little motivated.
I was there all day. Out of all of speakers, only two of them offered additional seminars and Tamara Lowe plugged her book.
I especially enjoyed Zig Ziglar, Steve Forbes, Rudy Giuliani and Gen. Colin Powell (and they didn't try to sell anything). It was obvious that Michael Phelps (he didn't try to sell anything either) is not a polished motivation speaker, but I cheered for him anyway for his accomplishments and dedication.
I guess that negative news sells better than positive news, but I get a little tired of it. How about you?
Sorry about the rant. Your comments are always appreciated. Thanks for reading.
