Isn't it inspiring to hear people's stories about how they perservered. President & CEO of Amsoil Inc. is also such a person. His success story, which included Lt. Col. of the U.S. Air Force, is on a DVD that I received free of charge because of the number accounts achieved for the month.
Another person of similiar unique qualities is also a pilot with impressive credentials, Russel O'Quinn.
There is no shortage of inspiration, therefore where is the lack? - Energy to  convince, lack of presence and perhaps lack of a quality presentation?
I feel an editorial coming on here.
   

The second chapter of Ziglar's book, "Better Than Good" is about "Inspiration: The Fuel Of Passion".  There are tons of gems in this chapter and the whole book, therefore need to give it time to sink in. Some of what is in this book makes me feel affirmed that I and many here are on the right track.

Quote from Joseph De Guebert: "It usually happens that the more faithfully a person follows the inspirations he receives, the more does he experience new inspirations which ask increasingly more of him."
