Always Deliver More Than Expected
This is absolutely true! It is so important to always deliver more than you are asked or expected. It’s always better to OVER deliver rather than under deliver. Whether its with customers, clients, business partners, an audience… always OVER deliver. When people get more than expected, they appreciate you more and trust you more. When you do less than expected, you can disappoint others and lead them to not trust you and lose interest in whatever it is that brought them to you in the first place.Don’t be average or do things “just right”… Go ABOVE & BEYOND the call of duty and you’ll be respected & loved more for that. Get Excited & Stay Excited™!! To Your Success!Blessings, Love & Light…
Quite often we get so wrapped up in talking about what we want to do instead of focusing on taking action on doing those things. It’s funny how we can talk, talk, talk, talk and TALK about all of these different things that we want to do or that we plan to do or that we’re going to do but really end up not doing it. Why is that? Well it’s because we’re spending more time talking about it instead of DOING IT!
When I read the quote by Walt Disney,
“The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing.”
I reflected on my own life and pretty much gave myself a wake up call…. I have been guilty of talking, talking, talking and sharing my plans of what I am doing instead of just focusing on DOING IT….
I have a few projects that I have been wanting to or “planning” to complete or launch and I’ve spent more time talking about it rather than just getting it ALL THE WAY done! So, when I read this quote, it was an instant A-HA moment for me and I told myself to STOP TALKING. START DOING. or rather… JUST DO IT!
Hopefully this message I’m sharing today will inspire you to stop talking about it, stop ONLY sharing your plans and JUST DO IT!
I have been receiving many emails, text messages, IM’s, comments and so forth asking Why I say Get Excited & Stay Excited!

Please listen to them after you watch the video below….

I share this with my team of business partners to give them their JUMP START on Mondays or periodically— its almost like our team anthem! We call it “Let’s Get Excited, Let’s Stay Excited” It’s really called Let’s Get It Started…

What is inspiration……?
I often questioned myself a great deal about this. I learned over the years that many people often confuse inspiration and motivation. I have learned that no one can motivate you because motivation comes from within yourself. This is one reason why I never say I am a “motivational” speaker/leader or that this person “motivates” me. Because that is not true. I motivate myself. What people say can inspire me to do things… but it is ME actually taking the necessary steps to “ACT” which that drive to ACT comes from ME motivating myself within to do whatever it is that the person inspired me to do.
So back to the original question…. what is inspiration? So let’s take a look at the webster definition. According to the webster dictionary, inspiration is:
1 a: a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation b: the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions c: the act of influencing or suggesting opinions 2: the act of drawing in; specifically: the drawing of air into the lungs 3 a: the quality or state of being inspiredb: something that is inspired 4: an inspiring agent or influence <a scheme that was pure inspiration>
Ok so there are 4 parts to this “official” definition. When I read this definition, the FIRST definition spoke to me most. But I still had to take it in and figure out what inspiration means to me. I truly believe that inspiration is the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions. When I am inspired by someone’s words, it touches me deep inside of my heart and soul. It moves me within. Sometimes it even affects me so much that I get teary eyed. The words do influence me to give myself the energy or the fuel to drive myself to ACT.
I realized that inspiration is much like a fingerprint. It is different for everyone, just as everyone’s fingerprints are unique. Inspiration comes to me through different means and ways just as it will for you. I get inspired from nature. Just sitting outside listening to the wind, the birds chirp, water moving down a creek or river or looking up at the clouds can inspire me. Music inspires me too– hearing different styles of music– the words, the rhythm, the melody can inspire me. Dancing inspires me. I love to dance and watch others dancing and I often find myself drifting into deep thought and becoming inspired by what I am watching or doing and then I get in gear to ACT. But for the most part, I found that true inspiration for me comes from deep inside of my heart. Especially when I’m talking to someone and feeling led to inspire them. I always dig deep down inside myself and seem to know just the right words to say to inspire them.
In summation, I found that it inspiration is anything that fosters me, gives me the will to do, animates me, reveals my desires within reach, moves me to do anything that I enjoy and love doing. Just like my opening quote shows you something that is quite true. Children will not remember you because of the material things you have given them. They will remember you for the feeling that you cherished them. That’s inspiration. You cherishing your children is inspiration to them— something they will remember forever. Inspiration can be found everywhere and in anything! So you don’t have to go searching for it and nor should you just “wait” on it. Open your eyes, it’s right there— right there in front of you.
The Universe can always provide you with something, you just have to open your eyes and REALLY SEE. Inspiration is what got you to follow your dreams. It is that deep down soulful and exciting feeling you get when you are truly moved and even causes your heart to glide.
So I encourage you, empower you and inspire you to OPEN your EYES and SEE your inspiration.
So…. What is YOUR inspiration?
