Was you watching the Tweetathon 2009 last night? I was! If you were there you would have heard Joel Comm speak to Gary Vaynerchuk saying something like “Shane Hudson wants to be like you when he grows up.” This is true, he is my role model, however I have been thinking about the “when he grows up.”

Why do I have to wait? I am a very ambitious person, but I always want things done straight away. This is no different, why should I wait until I grow up to be inspirational, motivational and influencial. Wait a second… that is what the idea of this site is, to inspire and motivate people to succeed! So does that mean I am already at Gary’s level? Of course not, but it is a start.

The second thing I thought of is: “Does this mean I am not allowed to be myself?” No it doesn’t. When I first saw one of Gary’s videos, the first thing I though was “Wow, his beliefs are almost identical to my own.” So that means I was already heading this route, even before I heard of him. So instead of following his every move, I am just very inspired but what he does.

Who Am I?

Today I have an exercise for you. Sometimes it helps to think about who we are, as well as who we want to be. So what we are both (me and you) are going to do is very simple… choose 3 words about what the people around us think of us now and 3 words about who we want to be. Here is my 6 words, please share yours!

Now: Friendly, Helpful and Honest

Who I want to be: Inspirational, Motivational and Trustworthy

Phew, that was hard! I could list thousands of words for who I want to be. My task for us both is to see how quickly we can become who we want to be. It sounds easy, will it be?

Thank you for taking part, please share your views,
