4 Inspiring Entrepreneurial Speeches You Need to Know About

I had a Dream….

Martin Luther, Churchill, JFK – all were able to deliver speeches that inspired millions to take action.

Public speaking is something I’m passionate about and when delivered correctly, can motivate and inspire you to take action, and do those extra sales calls/lines of code/hours in the office – even when your morale is low.

In this post I list four speeches that I keep going back to when I’m looking for motivation and inspiration.

Some you may already know some of these, and some are hopefully is a first time for you. Either way – all are guaranteed to inspire. This is a short post, as I’ll leave the talking to the men and women in the speeches below

Neil Gaimen – Addresses the University of the Arts

Because sometime it’s hard to remember to enjoy the ride

Eric Thomas – Secrets to Success 

FOr pure motivation, nothing beats Eric Thomas’s famed speech. He gave it in a classroom but I like this version someone did with an athlete training even more.

JK Rowling – Harvard Commencement

One of the most powerful speeches on failure out there(particularly the first half of the speech).

Steve Job’s Stanford Commencement Speech

One speech that probably needs no introduction. Essential listening for all. Stay foolish…

Your Turn: Which of these speeches did you enjoy? Are there any other inspiration speeches we should know about? Please share them in the comments below

Most obviously, Howard is great marketer. He knew which channels we should try, when we should try them, how we analyse and how to react to them….as a result we sold a lot of tickets. Which was obviously great for us.

Escape Velocity was a game changer for us. The biggest impact on us was that it gave us clear direction of what we need to achieve. It has really massively impacted on my life and given me the clear direction and the sort of tools to manage my business.
