I may offend some with my candid answer here but I hope it is seen more as a positive answer.

A few years ago I was speaking at a conference and a woman came up to me so full of energy and excitement and asked,’ I just have to know….why did you chose speaking and memory as your career.’ Without a seconds hesitation and completely serious I replied, ‘money.’ In an instant the excitement left her face as if I was a mortician draining all the blood from here. In a shocked tone she shook her head in disbelief as if there should be a more pure or altruistic motive for me career. Nope. Not at all. Money.

Now does that mean I don’t like helping people or see the smile on their face when they really ‘get’ what I am saying and how it will reduce stress and improve grades or help to remember names. Of course I enjoy seeing those things but I could still accomplish those things if I gave my CDs away for free or sold all my worldly possessions and traveled the world as a bar foor hippie teaching memory training. I charge because I am a business man.
If tomorrow I invented a new widget that folded your clothes for you and EVERYONE had to have it. I would stop memory training seminars TOMORROW and get into the widget business. Why? More money.
This should be a positive for those reading this. I am not teaching memory seminars because I am a super gifted brain genius. NO!!! Instead, I am your average everyday BUSINESS MAN who is using memory training as the vehicle to make my income.
If you go into business and your top motivation isn’t to make a profit then I hope you have a nice back up plan.

Today, tomorrow and the next day you will find me busting my butt to MARKET, SELL and PROMOTE my memory improvement products. Do I love it?! Sure I do. And one reason is I am good at it. Do I do it because I get paid? You bet!
So, yes, I got into this business for income reasons but that doesn’t mean I don’t thoroughly enjoy what I do not does it mean I also don’t really enjoy teaching people and seeing them ‘get’ how powerful the human mind can be!
