Who Are the Most Influential Personal Development Speakers Today?
July 19, 2007
I came across a poll that asked who the most influential personal development speakers are today. These were the top four answers in the order of votes cast in their favor:
-
Anthony Robbins
-
Deepak Chopra
-
Wayne Dyer
-
Jack Canfield
What I find interesting about this list is the diversity of personalities and styles it represents. Anthony Robbins is the high energy, almost frenetic kind of speaker that can get you so pumped up you think your head is going to explode if you don't go out and conquer the world immediately! Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer are somewhat mystical and esoteric in their approach, and their style is to lull you into a state of harmonious relevance with the world and your calling to it. Jack Canfield is what I would consider more of a traditional motivational expert — the kind of guy who fits in well on the corporate circuit.
For all of their stylistic differences, the common thread that I see in all of their philosophies is that of the supremacy of the individual to be able to rise above, or perhaps "work within" is a better way of putting it, current circumstances to design the kind of life that they truly want to live.
What about you? Are you taking the time to design your life, or are you just trudging along on the path that others (parents, teachers, peers, spouses, etc.) have set for you? I encourage you to take some time for yourself everyday and to study and explore your inner thoughts and aspirations and to begin devising a plan that will afford you the kind of life that you really want to live. With many relevant articles and videos, this website is a great place to start.
Explore the site and check out the links to the many valuable personal development resources you'll find available for free. I personally start my day each morning by listening to one of the motivational talks – I find the practices helps to set a positive tone for everything else I do during the day. I hope you'll give it a try and that you'll bookmark the site and come back often!

Articles on Entrepreneurship, Videos, and a Place to Return to for Inspiration and Motivation
July 10, 2007
I'm dedicated to achieving my full potential — what about you? Do you want to, "Be all you can be"? The WealthLoop Project website grew out of my work with investors, small business owners, and fellow entrepreneurs who expressed a desire for community with a group of like-minded individuals.
Let's face it, we entrepreneurs are a breed apart — we are not like other people. We thrive on new experiences and we live for challenges. We're rarely satisfied and are continually tinkering and tweaking ourselves and our business to try to squeeze out that last extra bit of whatever it is we are trying to achieve.
Truthfully, we can drive others crazy who can't understand the entrepreneurial way of thinking that we as entrepreneurs take for granted. My goal is for this website to become a meeting place of sorts for like minded souls looking for a place of inspiration on the road to success.
I have assembled videos from the likes of Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins, Bob Proctor . . . the list goes on and on. As the site continues to grow you will find posts and articles on goal setting, small business, time management, entrepreneurship, sales and marketing, creative visualization, and a host of related topics and ideas.
I encourage you to leave your comments and suggestions, I encourage you to submit your ideas for articles and posts, and I encourage you to continue on your quest for self actualization and personal success. Please explore the website and return often.
