The $50.00 Bill Story
The Fifty Dollar Bill Story!
The auditorium was buzzing as the attendees waited for the World Famous speaker to appear and for the seminar to begin. Every seat was filled, and you can imagine the noise had the pitch of a dull roar. We can guess what was on the minds of the audience? Why do these seminars start so early in the AM? What the speaker has to say better be worth it!
Suddenly, the speaker walked out center stage and just stood there looking out at the crowd. He stood there just loking just long enough for the last of the talking stop.
He reached into his label and pulled out a crisp new $50.00 bill and raised just over his head and asked, "Who wants a $50.00 bill?"
Most of the hands went up. Well it really was all the hands save one! 3 row back fifth seat in the young lady got up and walked to the stage and reached up , took the bill from his hand, turned and walked back to her seat.
The speaker continued,"most everyone here wanted the money. However, only on of you , took the actions necessary to actually get the money.
There are two vitally important lessons to learn from what you just witnessed. One to get what you want you must take action. Two you must keep taking actions until you get what you want."
In case you are wondering who the speaker was, it was Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup For the Soul
Have a wonderful day and keep an eye out for those $50.00 bills that come your way!
