A multimillionaire once contacted me online and said: “You’re a Lamborghini hiding in the dark in the garage.”

That day, the lights turned on for me and changed my life.

Are you hiding in the dark, too, and don’t know it? Have you gotten so comfortable with your current place in life that you don’t even realize you are sitting in your garage and it’s pitch black inside? Well, that was me.

Do you see other people basking in the sunshine, doing what you want to do, and know that you would be just as great as they are (or even better) if you just had the chance? What if it’s you who is stopping your chance? What if it’s you, and only you, who is keeping your surroundings dark? What if it’s you who is afraid to let the world see who you really are?

For years, I wanted to be a motivational or inspirational speaker. For the life of me, as I sit here right now, I don’t know why I only took limited actions in doing anything about that burning desire until this unknown millionaire woke me up.

You see, he and I were “friends” online but never communicated with each other. Unbeknownst to me, he had been quietly observing me in his news feed for months. He noticed from my posts and videos I had all of the makings of a successful motivational/inspirational speaker — but I wasn’t speaking.

I mean, I was speaking, but I wasn’t speaking.
