Looking Back—A Certainty Monologue: Gratitude, the Secret to Joy Friday, November 29, 2024

Last November for Thanksgiving I did a monologue on Gratitude. It was the second monologue I'd ever done. The first was impromptu and unexpected. On June 30th to be exact my scheduled guest had last minute technical difficulties and was unable to log onto Zoom to join me for the show. Wth zero notice or time to prepare I ended up having to do a last minute one-person monologue, off the cuff (and from the heart). I spoke on how we can FIND, yes, even CREATE, greater Certainty in our lives, even in the midst of today's looming UNcertainty ... (i.e., fears, rising costs, worries, and "wars and rumors of war," as it were). I enjoyed the chance to speak from the heart a great deal during that show. So much so, in fact, I thought I’d try it again and do another monologue which I did for the Thanksgiving weekend last year. I figured, if Rush Limbaugh could speak for two or three hours at a time without any guests (and not even a script it seemed) and do as masterful a job as he did, I felt I could take a crack at it as well. I’m no Rush, but I did feel like I had a few thoughts I wanted to share and do feel they can benefit you in your own life and business as well. Well, I've now gone almost an entire year with starting each month with a Certainty Monologue (the first Friday of each month). I've been going through the alphabet with topics like Accountability, Balance, Faith, and more. With Thanksgiving this week and the Holiday season upon us, and due to the fact that VoiceAmerica isn't doing any live broadcasts this year, I thought I'd just rebroadcast my episode on Gratitude from last year. In it, I share seven (7) things for which I am grateful along with the 7 lessons they’ve taught me and the remarkable ways in which they’ve blessed my life (and can bless yours too). These 7 lessons are the part, at least from the feedback I've received, that my listeners have enjoyed and benefited from most, it seems. If you take the time to listen in, you may just agree. With almost 40 years of experience in finance, sales, business, and leadership; as an entrepreneur at heart, a former athlete, an outdoorsman, and the owner of 3 different companies; as a husband, father of 5, speaker, 3 x author (my last 2 books are both international best sellers), and more, I can fill up 60 minutes pretty easily. I've proven it and I believe you’ll enjoy the insights if you’ll join me for this ride. Many refer to my show as a "walk down memory lane." It's a good description. Call this episode a “walk down my own lane.” I look forward to the path together.
