Testimonial from Carl Young
Carl’s August 2005 Newsletter
–It’s All About People! is sometimes about finding the right person.
My motivational presentations are based on
the premise that both business and personal success is based on the engagement
of People.
I challenge audiences to think of one
thing in their success pursuit that did not involve People on some level. If
they can think of something, I suggest that they also find a legitimate word
that rhymes with month, silver, orange, or purple. The answer is obvious, there
are no legitimate words that rhyme with month, silver orange, or purple.
Although, I have had folks rack their brains for an extended time trying to find
such a word.
I know no one reading this newsletter will
attempt to find a word that does not exist. I also hope that everyone reading
this newsletter will come to the quick conclusion that there is nothing that you
have ever done in the pursuit of success that did not involve People on some
level.
Now that we can all agree that People
shape everything in business and our personal lives, I can get on to the point
of this newsletter…..
We need four things to be successful that
can only come from People. They are:
- Resources
- Coaches
- Mentors
- Partners
It is unusual that you can find all of
these in one person. Sometimes you get lucky and find one person capable of
providing most of these things. I found such a person that I want to highlight
in this newsletter.
Her name is Wendi McNeill of Charli Jane Speaker Services. She has helped and assisted me
in numerous ways. She is truly a Partner that provides numerous
resources. She is a both Coach and
Mentor
in the ways she offers suggestions and sources for engagements and improvement
to the success of my speaking career.
Wendi made suggestions
to me about sources for speaking opportunities. She was instrumental in getting
me booked on a radio station. I am speaking at an engagement in Dallas that was
arranged by Wendi and is a great opportunity for me to gain exposure.
I could go on and on about the value Wendi
has added to my speaking career but this newsletter would be 12-15 pages long.
I only wanted to highlight the efforts of Wendi to make several points that can
be gleaned from the efforts of Wendi:
- Be passionate about what you do and in
pursuit of prospective clients
- Don’t be turned away by the first
answer that may be no!
- Keep on pushing to achieve your goal
- Be sensitive to the needs of your
Clients and offer them services to benefit them
- Keep expanding your service offerings
to fit the needs of your Clients
- Keep looking for new ways to provide
services to your Clients.
Wendi knows her passion and where she
wants to go in her business. I have been tremendously impressed with her drive
and determination to succeed. I have truly found someone that provides me lots
of Resources and is a Partner as well. You get lucky sometimes
and find lots of what you need in one person as I have in Wendi.
Keep searching for your own Wendi
McNeill. If there are resources or services Wendi can provide to you, I am sure
she would appreciate you contacting her. She can be reached at
www.CharliJane.com
Remember you need the help of People to
succeed. You need Resources, Coaches, Mentors, & Partners. Keep
searching and you may get lucky as I did and find one person to fill multiple
roles. Success whether business or personal—It’s All About People!
