JT Foxx – the human launching pad
For many years, I worked in corporate America. Sure, the job was a good one. My friends were
envious of the great “job” that I had and the rewards that came with it. I received a certain level of satisfaction in
my work and made good money while receiving wonderful benefits. I was also very successful at it while receiving
numerous awards. In most cases, the story would end here. I
would live happily ever after. A
life-long company man. Not me however.
I have had a burning desire inside for several years, and one
that had grown with intensity over the last several years. This desire was to grow, to lead, to teach,
to share the message that I know to be true in business and in personal
relationships. I had figured out a secret to success but had a limited audience
to share it with. I have been able to prove my skills and abilities within the
confines of the organization in which I existed. Over time I became restless
however and knew there was something greater in store for me. Year after year
went by with me performing great. “Great”
wasn’t enough for me. Along the way, I wrote a book about one of the
fundamental keys to success, but because of the restrictions around me (i.e.my
job), I wasn’t able to spread the word, teach, share and put into the world the
success that I can bring to others. Upon
the release of the book a year ago, I knew what my real desire was. It hit me like a ton of bricks This desire
was to become a difference maker. I was already an author but I didn’t but
didn’t take the message to the world directly from the source – ME. How do I do this? How will I get there?
SOMEONE, SEND ME AN ANGEL!
I always notice effective messaging. So JT Foxx is going to be in my town, and
just months after I decided to take a chance on me. Hmmmmm. Interesting.
Sure, I had been writing and creating content and giving local talks,
but I have been needing real guidance, real opportunity, and real know
how. My message needs to get out there
because I can show others how to create success, as I did for myself in my job,
but not for my own self and not for me being in control of my own life.
It was a Monday. It
was warm and sunny day. For some reason,
I just felt good from the start. The
room was full of people and with anticipation.
What would this JT Foxx guy say to us?
What would he say to me? Is this really the right place for me? “Come
on, these guys are always full of hype but no real punch. Nothing tangible for me. This is just another
bubble waiting to be burst. Same story,
different day. Just more snake oil to be sold”.
Typical "negative Nellie".
Not exactly.
JT Foxx told us the truth.
JT Foxx didn’t sugar-coat it. JT
Foxx didn’t care about being liked that day.
JT Foxx wanted to tell us how it really is and what we really needed to
know. So many try to inspire and so many
want to be inspired. The two rarely
match-up in a long-term lasting relationship.
But it can happen. It did
happen. I heard the message. Most of us
were listening (I think) but not everyone heard it. I did. JT is spot on when he talks about taking
action. Most of us want to, so we think,
but few of us do. JT is also right in that people don’t care about my
story. Sure, folks will admit that it’s
unfortunate that my career was swept out from under my feet, but people want to
really know how it benefits them and how my story can help them. JT’s mission isn’t to win the “smooth-talker”
award, his mission is to be real. He has
no time for excuses. We do however, and
that’s why he’s where he is and so many are where they are. I haven’t experienced the kind of authenticity
that JT Foxx demonstrated that day. I
was an instant believer. Now I just
needed a plan.
The Man with the Plan
Soon after lunch that day and the session began, I didn’t
just decide it was my time, I knew it
was my time. JT Foxx has plans. He has plans for all of us. All of us who are ready to take action. I took rapid action for the first time. Was I nervous? Yes.
But I was excited. The decision
was made. JT Foxx made it clear to me,
as if I were the only attendee in the room, that my excuses and inaction, would
only leave me in the same place…and likely back in a similar job…still dreaming
of what could be. It was time to bet on ME.
As a result, I will be a coach. I
will be a speaker. I’ll be a damn good
coach and speaker! I will be coached by
the JT Foxx organization. I will be
speaking at the Family Reunion. I will be on the path to success. I will represent the JT Foxx organization
well. Is JT my prophet? Well, come on
now. Well, maybe. Hey, why not? One thing’s for sure, I was
given the swift kick in the butt I needed.
JT’s dose of reality should be taken with a full glass of water – for
better absorption.
So What
happened?
I went to JT’s house.
I learned why what I was doing wasn’t effective. I learned what would be more effective. I met
successful people. I learned my next
steps. All of this, plus I had a great time!
The Top 1% program was a full 3 days, and I mean FULL 3 days. The other
coaches are really knowledgeable, really helpful and wonderful people. This is
a solid group and I am happy to be a part of it. This is real advice, from real successful people. I’m moving forward now to the Ultimate
Business Retreat. There is so much to
learn that we don’t know. It’s time to
get busy
The law requires that I wear a seat belt. That’s a good thing because JT Foxx is
launching me into the universe!
I’m bringing my new platform to the world, and in a big
way. If you’re in Anaheim in November,
you’ll hear it for yourself. If you’re
not there, you’ll see it, read it, and be a part of it.
