Was flipping through some old cds today.
For those of you who don't know, Joe Malarkey
is absolutely hilarious.

And, you know... Brilliant.
Well, not brilliant, but... 90% of the people
who follow his advice, within 6 months, in
their jobs or career they have a definite...
Well... change.


Look up some of his stuff, it's time well spent.







When I look around the forum-- especially in the
Main Discussion are-- there are a LOT of people
who really could stand to Choose to Lose.

    Yeah, Joe Malarkey is so funny!!!

    I have his "Worst Motivational Speaker in America" CD,
    and I listened to it for the first time. For almost the
    entire time, I thought my ribs were going to break,
    I was laughing so hard.

    Then, in the last-- I don't even know if it was 2 minutes--
    at the very end, he proved that he was not just a
    very funny man. He is a freaking brilliant motivational speaker.

    It's just one key idea-- but wow what a great and powerful
    way to present it!

    I watched one of the videos and did not like these guys at all.

    That's just me.

    There's no such thing such as worst motivational speaker, I mean if not all people likes you it doesn't mean you're worst. It's just that you simply can't impress everyone.

    If you like Malarky, then you'll probably enjoy Zig Ziggler.

    You may not roll on the floor, but he leaves you smiling, more confident, and loaded with useful wisdom!

      It's the title of his speech, and the way he markets himself.
      It's actually extremely clever and effective-- Everyone I know
      who has listened to it comes away really understanding a
      lesson they have learned long ago, but never really been
      able to apply. It's really brilliant. 99% of the speech he
      is cracking jokes about motivational speaking, and then in
      the last-- what, maybe two minutes at most-- he just blows
      your mind with useful awesomeness. Just one point, really,
      but wow!, what a great take away!!

      Yep, love Ziggy, seen him a million times. Last time was in the
      Duct Tape Center in Tulsa... Sadly, after he hit his head, he repeats himself
      a lot because of the short-term memory loss, but his daughter is awesome.

      Anyway, I never got his "opportunity clock" haha, but I "grew-up" going to his
      seminars, and spent a lot of time with Zig, Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, and
      maybe half-a-dozen others in "Automobile University" as well as stalking
      them from seminar to seminar. Oh! And perhaps my favorite, T. Harv Eker.

      Anyway, Joe Malarkey was in a big stack of CD's that I collected over
      the years but haven't listened to yet. I had some time and popped it in,
      and I have to say he is the funniest "motivational" speaker that I have
      ever heard... It's just the way he delivers it, really-- my kind of humor.
