Action By Adam Mortimer

There was a man on stage. His presence was commanding. In front of an audience of about 300 people he pulled out a one hundred dollar bill. He asked, “who wants it?” He stood on stage for a while asking the same question over and over, “who wants it?”
Hands would go up with people claiming that they wanted the money but it wasn’t until a man close to the front stood up and got on stage and took the money that the presenter gave it away. The presenter smiled as he handed the man one hundred dollars for simply getting up out of his chair, walking on stage, and he taking the money.
The presenter said, “look at all the people that are here and there was only one that had the courage to take action! It is this one that will go home one hundred dollars richer!” It is the action takers that make the difference in the world, not all the people that sit and wish and hope but it is the ones that make things happen that create wealth. At the time I was one of the people sitting in the chair. I remember looking back on that experience thinking if I had only gotten up out of my chair I would have been a hundred dollars richer! That would have been so easy for me to do but I didn’t. I made a decision that I was not going to ever be caught not taking action! I am not going to wait for opportunity to knock I am going to opportunities house and break down the doors! I decided to make things happen. May you learn from my wise mentor and never let a good opportunity pass you by again!
