Motivational speakers made a significant impact on my life. Their words are powerful and inspirational. I listen to their stuff daily. So, it came to me to write this post. Here is the list of people who made a huge revolution in me.
Contents
Nick Vujicic
This man was born in Australia in 1982. Vujicic was born with Tetra-Amelia syndrome, a sporadic disorder whereby someone is born without all four limbs.
He struggled mentally and physically. But the struggle leads him to be more successful.
Nick Vujicic is a guy who lacks all 04 limbs and has a speed of typing 43 words per minute on the computer keyboard. He has made his disability an ability. He founded his non-profit organization, ‘Life Without Limbs.’ Nick Vujicic is a genuine encouragement to us all. And I suggest you watch some videos on Youtube. If so, you’ll realize how much he’s been able to adjust to life without arms and legs.
Robin Sharma
Robin Sharma, born in Nepal in 1964, graduated from the Dalhousie University School of Law and practiced law. However, he developed professionally far beyond his accomplished and fully qualified attorney status. From 1995 to 2011, Sharma published 15 books on leadership and self-help. “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,” one of his best-known works, has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
Even though some may disagree and argue that Robin Sharma is more of a motivational author than a speaker, he deserves to be included on this list. He is a leadership and self-development expert author with 12 international best-sellers to his credit.
Wayne Dyer
Dr. Wayne Dyer was born in Detroit on May 10, 1940, and spent growing up in an orphanage. After finishing high school, Dyer served in the U.S. Navy from 1958 to 1962. He later earned a degree in counseling, which he chose to pursue further after working in it for a while.
Dyer quit his job as a teacher to pursue a career in motivational speaking, giving numerous lectures across the country and emerging as a famous author. Over 35 million copies of Dyer’s first book have been sold as of this writing. He has since continued his lecture tours and released several audio tapes and books.
Zig Ziglar
On November 6, 1926, Zig Ziglar was born in Alabama and passed away on November 28, 2012. Ziglar has eleven siblings. When he was five years old, his sister and father passed away within two days. Zig served in the army during World War II from 1935 to 1946. When Ziglar was only 17, he met his future wife, Jean.
After the war, he began to work as a salesman for many companies, eventually becoming the vice president of the Automotive Performance company. He began attending seminars on motivation, and in 1975, he published his first book, “See You at the Top.” He wrote at least 15 books between 1975 and 2012, this one being the first.
Jim Rohn
Jim Rohn was born September 17, 1930, in Yakima, Washington, and passed away on December 5, 2009. He was a very successful entrepreneur, once a vice president of Nutri-Bio, a highly effective sales organization.
However, he received a speaking invitation from one club after the company eventually went out of business.
After this meeting, he received numerous speaking invitations and established a reputation for himself. Being a wise businessman, Rohn was able to teach others a lot of his knowledge. According to Jim Rohn, if you don’t create your life plan, you might adhere to someone else’s. And do you know what they have in store for you? Not very much
Les Brown
On February 17, 1945, Les Brown was born in Miami, Florida. When he was in elementary school, Mamie Brown adopted him and considered him “educationally mentally disabled.”
Others encouraged him to keep learning and strive to work hard to be his best self despite the emotional problems it caused. He was being guided toward realizing his full potential.
Les is another motivational speaker who is highly well-liked in the motivational video collections that others produce because of how powerful and effective his speeches are.
“It’s Not Over Until You Win!” and “Live Your Dreams,” two of his best-selling books, are genuinely inspirational and well worth reading.
Les Brown says, “When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because you can stand up if you can look up, let your motivation help you stand back up.
Tony Robbins
Tony Robbins was born in Los Angeles on February 29, 1960. When he was younger, his home life was chaotic and abusive, according to him. At the age of 17, he moved out as a result of this.
When he first entered the world of motivational speaking, Tony Robbins was promoting Jim Rohn’s seminars. Later, he decided to start his journey by holding seminars.
Tony has made a difference in many people’s lives through his seminars, inspirational speeches, books, and motivational quotes.
According to Tony Robbins, “We never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power, which is one reason, so few achieve what we truly want. Most people fumble through life without ever deciding to become experts in anything.
Eric Thomas
At age 16, Detroit-born and -raised Eric Thomas was homeless. Eric, however, decided that he wanted to better himself and live a life he could be proud of.
E.T. succeeded in doing so, and you can now watch Eric Thomas’ inspiring words of wisdom on YouTube. His “Thank God It’s Monday” series is among them. Additionally, he could complete the education he missed out on while he was homeless and pushed himself harder to earn all the degrees, he had aspirations of receiving. His infamous YouTube videos have amassed millions of views, and his best-selling books have sold millions of copies.
E.T. is featured in about 90% of the motivational videos that other people make and upload to YouTube using mashups of clips, speeches, and music because his speeches are so well-known. According to Eric Thomas, success comes when you want something as badly as you want to breathe.
