When I was twelve years old，my father took me to see Zig Ziegler．I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr．Ziegler raise everyone's spirits up to ceiling．I left there feeling like I could do anything．When we got to the car，I turned to my father and said，"Dad，I want to make people feel like that．"My father asked me what I meant．"I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr．Ziegler，"I replied．A dream was born．
Recently，I began pursuing my dream of motivating（inspire） others．I realized that everything I had accomplished-the graduate degree，the successful sales career，speaking appointments，training and managing for a major fortune 100company as a senior manager-had prepared me for this moment．I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career．He told me to proceed and he believed I would succeed．
Having made that decision，I was immediately tested．One week after I gave notice，my husband was laid off from his job．We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage （抵押） payment and now we were done to no income．I even planned to turn back to my former company，knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back，I would never leave．I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of"if onlys"later on．A motivational speaker was born．
