How many of us have had moments of inspiration? How many of us have acted on them?
This week I have listened to four speakers, all of whom have had moments of inspiration and decided to act on them.
They were all really simple moments in themselves and I am sure we have all had them. Most of the time these moments come and go with little to show for them.
One of the speakers mentioned how he had tried on a pair of trousers in his usual size and discovered they were to tight. That moment inspired him to change his lifestyle and gave him the motivation to start eating a little less and exercising a little more.
Another read a book which contained a chapter on focused practice. This inspired him to take up the saxophone and motivated him to keep practicing the bits he wasn't good at. He was able to incorporate a rather nice saxophone solo into his speech.
The third had what was almost an epiphany while throwing stones into the sea. He noticed that some stones were rough and others were smooth. In that moment of inspiration he realised that the smooth stones had been worked on by the sea while the rough ones had been left idle. In a moment of inspiration he realised that his life was going exactly the same way and that if he didn't work on it he would remain in a very rough condition. He is now so motivated that he is looking to become a motivational speaker.
The final speaker had a moment of inspiration many years ago and become motivated to look out for these moments and act upon them. She is now the prime mover in a new speakers club in Woodford Green, London. She hopes to use this as a vehicle to motivating others while improving her own skills.
As a motivational speaker, I was inspired by all of these people. My goal as a presenter of Motivational Workshops at http://www.bespeak.co.uk/ is to help people understand how to recognise these moments of inspiration and turn them into motivation for life changing experiences.
Even if you can't join one of my workshops make sure you keep all your senses wipe open to moments of inspiration.

A Quiet Day
Not much happening today, so spent some time reading about search engine optimisation. My website. http://www.bespeak.co.uk/ is gradually climbing up the rankings.
I need to create more content on my website so that people will be attracted to it and perhaps even link to it.
As I am planning to write a book anyway, I am wondering if I should publish excerpts from each chapter. Part of me is tempted to publish the whole book, chapter by chapter in draft format and then remove it when the book is completed.
When the book gets published I can put excerpts from it back onto the website. The website promotes four business areas:- Motivational Workshops, Life Coaching, Public Speaking and After Dinner Speaking.
It may be a tall order but my book is going to try and mirror this. It is a rather eclectic mix to pull together, but I do like a challenge.
Tomorrow, I plan to look at RSS Feeds and see if I can get one to work on my website.

Another Beginning
I have been advised that having a Blog could help drive traffic to my web site (http://www.bespeak.com/). I understand that the biggest Blog search engine has about 12 million sites indexed, so any hints on getting mine noticed would be most welcome.
On to the main reason for the blog.
I am just starting a new business, one aspect of which is Motivational Workshops. The idea is to get people to achieve success through training the subconscious to motivate the conscious mind. There are many techniques that can help people achieve this. The best is visualise and replace.
When something doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to, go over the incident in your mind as if you were watching a film. Once you identify what went wrong, overwrite that part of your movie with the images you would have seen if all had gone according to plan.
Play the new movie back through your mind a few times and this will be the sequence that your subconscious will remember and act upon next time you are in the same situation.
This is a fantastic way to improve your golf swing as well.
