Motivational Speaker Steve Harris Inspires Hope for Fathers as He Shares Personal Story on Humble Beginnings
Steve Harris, who is a renowned motivational speaker and ‘life strategist’, shared a motivational post with his followers about how he literally started from the bottom before attaining success. The two time college drop out, shared about his life with two pictures, one where he just became a father and was struggling, the second one, as a self made entrepreneur who dared to follow his dream and change the world in his generation.
The farther of one, has worked with companies like Zenith Bank, NLNG, Access Bank, Skye Bank amongst others. Read his moving testimony below:
Look at these pics… and the story behind them
.
They feel like world’s apart. .
In the 1st pic, I was broke. I had just had our baby girl a few months after I quit my corporate job to start my dream of becoming a writer, coach & eventual Thought Leader.
.
It was only six years ago.
No one knew me. I was writing my book on two paint buckets & using my wife’s LaserJet printer to send out proposals to corporate clients.
.
One night, my wife, baby and I slept in my car overnight because we didn’t have fuel to power the generator.
.
It broke my heart, and it forced me to make an all-or-nothing decision:
.
I was either going to become a successful consultant / coach or die trying.
.
I decided to #ChaseMyGreatness with #RuthlessExecution
.
I decided to stop letting my small business make me small-minded;
.
I decided not to worry about the critics
.
And that leads to the other photos.
.
The man on the right is the same guy (only better looking) ???? driven by a fierce desire to live intentionally, make a difference & chase his greatness.
.
My daily routine is still the same: writing, speaking, recording, coaching, pouring out my heart, trying to figure out how to inspire people to achieve high performance.
.
I’VE ALSO REALIZED THAT WHAT IT TOOK ME TO GET HERE IS THE LEAST REQUIRED TO KEEP ME HERE
.
As of today, I’ve been mentioned as one of the TOP 100 BUSINESS COACHES TO FOLLOW ON TWITTER 4 times!
.
I’ve been featured in international magazines like The Economist and Slate Magazine
.
My online courses & live events have consistently sold out (thank you, Jesus)
.
So here’s my point.
.
NEVER LIMIT THE VISION YOU HAVE FOR YOUR LIFE BASED ON YOUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR COMPETENCIES
.
The journey to chasing your greatness begins the moment your desire for ease and comfort is overpowered by your drive for purpose and fulfillment.
