I think the best way to start would be to let you know a little bit about how I got involved with memory training and this particular field. I was in the hospitality field before and in a business that I didn’t particularly like. I wasn’t particularly good at and can I share this much with you? If you don’t love what you’re doing, find something else to do. I mean life is too short and if you don’t love it, you’re going to stink at it anyway.

So, I was working at one of my properties when a gentleman came in who was actually teaching a memory workshop. Obviously, I wanted to corner this guy and I said, “Kevin, I had no idea that memory could be taught, that this was a skill that could be developed,” and then, of course, I gave him my tale of woe. I can’t remember names, everybody is honey and sweetie, my car keys seem to have a life of their own, I never know where they are, I miss appointments, I have problems doing presentations……”

And Kevin said to me, and I’ll never forget, “Sit in on this workshop. Train your memory and I can guarantee you the ability to remember names, where you put your car keys and your list of things to do.” I remember jokingly saying, “You know what Kevin, if you could actually do that, I would quit what I’m doing right now, I hate it anyway, and I’ll come and work with you,” and that was over 15 years ago. So what I’d like to say is I’m like the Hair Club guy, I’m not just the president, I’m a client.

If there was one thing I could say memory training has done for me; it has really given me a lot of confidence. I look back on my life and I realize a lot of the decisions I made regarding my future were tempered by my feelings about my own memory and my ability to handle information. Think about it.

From a school standpoint, when it came time to choose a major in college, I genuinely considered medicine and I genuinely considered the law. I thought they would be great career paths and I realized what tempered my decision was pure and simple. There is too much material to handle. There’s no way I’m going to be able to remember chemistry, anatomy of physiology or the Latin that’s involved with pursuing a career in the law, and so I had branched off into another area.

You know, the confidence that I’ve gotten from training my memory has really spilled over to every aspect of my life. If you think about it, if you train your memory, if you develop this fundamental skill, what it’s going to do for you is effect literally everything you do from that point on. From shaking a hand to being able to remember a name to doing a presentation without notes to committing yourself to further yourself in your career by maybe taking the classes and pursuing the additional education it takes to expand your abilities and to, you know, to go to the next level.

So, what I’d like to say here today is, if just you want a confidence boost, you want to feel in control of the situations and circumstances that you find yourself in, let me encourage you, please; take the step that I did. Train your memory.

I think we can all agree with this much, your memory should be an asset. It shouldn’t be a liability. My suggestion, it’s worked for me. Train your memory. Start to apply this wonderful skill to everything you do, personally and professionally, and you’re going to see some profound changes in your life. Listen, everybody needs a confidence booster. Everybody needs an edge in this very competitive world that we live in. Here’s a fundamental first step to improving yourself in every area of your life. I want to tell you God bless you and I hope to see you in a memory workshop soon.

I would love to hear how memory training has helped YOU. Share and post a comment below.
