For years I have done my best to motivate and inspire people with my endeavors and my speeches worldwide. But often I know that people are unable to attend those speeches and while they love my method and delivery, haven't been able to benefit from what I can share.
I often bristle at the idea of being called a motivational speaker because I have found many in the field do not present an accurate or true account of reality. Perhaps it is a touch of cynicism on my part but I have never been one who believes in the kumbaya spirit. As such I was always reluctant to write a book that was about much more than what I felt I could really talk about: running.
However, given that running is such a small part of my life, and has just been the conduit which people have found out about what I have accomplished and still strive to do, I was finally convinced by enough cajoling to put my thoughts on inspiration and motivation down on paper.
To me, Ignore The Impossible is not just a mantra but rather the non-motivational-lovers phrase to motivate.
It is the book which brings truth and reality to those looking to be
inspired but who do not wish to be pandered to. I show from my own life
experiences, as well as the lessons I have learned from countless
others, how to succeed in life. These are ironclad solutions to problems
of every ilk. They are all ways in which we can improve our station in
life, rise above our troubles, and bring others with us.I never say we can do anything we want. I have always said that the only way to find out what you can do is to ignore the impossible and try it anyway.
I have already done one book signing at an event for the wonderful NAHREP group at their Leadership Summit after giving a presentation there. As I ready for more speeches this year, with topics drawn from chapters in this book, I am excited to be changing the tune of my speaking engagements. Pivoting from the running aspect of my life and more into successfully challenging myself in a myriad of other ways, I have seen already what a difference that can make in the lives of others.
The feedback I have received from the advance readers warms my heart and the reviews online are wonderful. I cannot wait to bring this book and my speaking nationwide. If you are looking to hire me as a speaker, simply reach out to me at danerunsalot@yahoo.com. That is where you can also order signed and personalized copies for yourself or people who need to be motivated.
I look forward to motivating you!
