Motivation to Overcome Obstacles
You need motivation to overcome
obstacles. You don’t need motivation to do the things
that are easy. So what qualifies George Torok as a
motivational speaker?
George Torok became a
motivational speaker
because of the obstacles he
overcame and the lessons he learned along the way. As a
business consultant and speaker George knew that he was
delivering practical content but what many listeners took
away from his presentations was motivation.
So what motivational experience
does George Torok have?
In high school he was a shy
introvert who wanted to be high school president – yet he
was ghastly afraid of speaking before the school
assembly. He failed to even try.
Now he is a paid professional speaker
who regularly speaks to
thousands of people every year. He found the motivation
to throw himself at the challenge of public
speaking, despite many setbacks and
embarrassing moments.
In high school he failed to
qualify for the football team, so he joined the track
team and gravitated to the cross country team where the
nerds were. He failed to complete his first 6-mile
race.
At last count George Torok has
completed two full marathons, (26 miles), four
half-marathons and five 30-K races. Persistence
counts.
At the age of 20 he traveled
around the world alone. It was a journey of 12 months
that took him across five continents and through 22
countries. It cost him less than $4,600. True motivation
comes from within – a belief in yourself despite all the
odds and nay-sayers.
Early in his career he went
through a rapid and unsettling succession of jobs. Just
when he had a secure job – he left to create his own
business. It takes a special kind of motivation to take
the unknown fork in the road. Sometimes the unknown is
less frightening then the status quo.
Without training in journalism
George Torok created, launched and continues to host his
own highly successful radio show. The show has been
running for over 13 years. During that time he has
interviewed over 400 business leaders feeding his thirst
for motivation and knowledge.
George Torok graduated from
university with a three year degree after six years of
struggling and fooling around. He wasn’t dumb – mainly
unmotivated. Somehow he finished despite the little voice
and some professors telling him to quit. His marks were
unimpressive – yet years later he was invited back to
lecture to business students at that same university plus
two other prestigious business schools.
Without training or natural
talent for writing, his first book reached national
bestseller status within the first six months and is now
published in at least seven countries. Since then he has
written over 300 articles and 400 blog posts.
A motivational speaker needs to
understand pain, struggle and failure. Because from those
things comes success. True motivation comes from knowing
that you can get past the pain, obstacles and
embarrassments. You don’t win all the battles but you
learn to struggle and win some of them.
A true motivational speaker has
suffered his share of embarrassment, failure and pain.
Then he has the right to help motivate others. Maybe that
is why George Torok is such a powerful and engaging
motivational speaker.
