HERE ARE SOME QUOTES FROM JIM CATHCART THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO SHARE:

Cathcart on Relationship Intelligence®:

“The more intelligently you choose, create and grow the right relationships the greater your success will be. Relationship Intelligence® will have more impact on your life that IQ or even EQ.”

Cathcart on Embracing Change:

“Change comes from you or to you. Either way, your business doesn’t advance until you do. Learn to re-examine your thinking, your skills and your goals every day. Become the person who would attract the results you seek.”

Cathcart on Intelligent Motivation:

“Self motivation means getting yourself to do what needs to be done whether you feel like it or not. That is what separates  the achievers from the followers.”

Cathcart on High-Value Relationships:

“Your life is a series of relationships. The higher the percentage of High-Value Relationships, the greater your prospects for success. Turn each of your relationships into a High-Value Relationship.”

Cathcart on Strategy:

“To embrace change and sustain growth, people require the right: Mindset, Skillsets and Systems.

All of these must grow from the Strategic Purpose of the organization.”

Cathcart on Leadership:

“If you can’t lead yourself, you are not ready to lead others. All leadership must begin with self leadership.”

Cathcart on Public Speaking

“In speaking it is not the speaker, the presentation nor the message that matters most.

What matters most is: The Value The Audience Will Get By Listening To And Applying Your Message”

Cathcart on Sales & Service:

“The purpose of selling is to build profitable relationships. Without relationships there are only transactions and every day is just as hard as the one before it. With stronger sales relationships every day will be easier, more profitable and more fun!”

Cathcart on Growth:

“Nature never stands still, Neither can a business. A business is a living system. We must continually grow as people, as an organization and in our capacity to serve our constituents. When we stop growing we start to rot.”

Cathcart on Customer Loyalty:

“Customer loyalty is something you should Give rather than merely seek to recieve. It is best earned by staying loyal to your customers over time even when they don’t seem loyal to you. Then they always feel connected with you.”

I just got off the phone/computer from one the most enjoyable calls I’ve ever made.

Stephanie Charl Schule, a colleague of mine in Hannover, Germany invited me to address a meeting of the folks who are involved in iLearningGlobal.tv there. It was 5pm for them and 8am for me. So I was able to make the call from my computer by simply plugging in an external microphone and using the built in camera on the screen.

As my regular readers know, I’m one of the founding faculty of iLearningGlobal.tv and many of my training videos are featured on their website worldwide. When Steffi contacted me she said that I had many followers in Germany and she’d like to have me address their meeting via Skype call.

Her husband, Paul-Martin Schule, called me and confirmed our connection and the next thing I knew I was looking at Steffi in front of her computer screen with a large screen in the background showing ME! They had a meeting room with about 60 people in attendance and she had it set up to show me on a large screen while she interviewed me. We also took questions and comments from the audience. The sound quality of the connection was excellent.

Here is what the video looked like to them:

Steffi had sent me an outline of probable questions that she would ask me and I sent her my replies to each, so that she could translate the answers into German in advance of the meeting.

During the meeting as I answered each question and told short stories to illustrate, I would pause occasionally so that she could do a live translation for those who didn’t speak English. It really worked. The audience broke into applause on a number of occasions and seemed to truly connect with my message.

At the end of the event we took a little diversion when she asked me how I kept myself motivated. I showed her my guitar, one of two that I keep in my office. Then she asked me to play it. I played a piece of a song and she said the audience wanted more. So I played and sang my own song, Riding Free, plus a John Denver and a Neil Diamond song. They sang along with me, from the other side of the world! That produced much applause and laughter on both sides of the ocean. Great fun!

I asked her to turn the computer around so that I could see the audience and when she did, they gave me a standing ovation! It truly touched my heart. What a wonderful way to connect with people and a perfect way to start this day. By the way, today is the birth date of Cavett Robert, founder of the National Speakers Association. NSA members nationwide are encouraged to spend this day coaching and training others to become better communicators. Tonight I’ll be speaking as keynoter for the 75th anniversary banquet of the Toastmasters International Ventura California club. Thanks for following my blog and please let me know when I can be of service to you.

“Abundance vs Scarcity Mentality”

iLearningGlobal is pleased to present Jim Cathcart as the featured faculty member on this Saturday’s Millionaire Mentor Session!

With over 32 years of professional speaking around the world, Jim Cathcart is one of the best known and most award-winning motivational speakers in the business.

After hearing Earl Nightingale on the radio one day in 1972, Jim was inspired to change his life. While working as a government clerk in the Urban Renewal Agency, he determined to learn psychology and master the process of self-improvement. Through years of fanatical dedication to this new quest he learned new skills, became a certified trainer for a variety of programs, read stacks of books, attended countless seminars and volunteered thousands of hours to civic organizations. In this process he moved from clerk, to manager, to leader, to trainer, to author and professional speaker.

Today, he is listed in the professional Speaker Hall of Fame, is a recipient of the prestigious Golden Gavel Award (along with Earl Nightingale, Art Linkletter, Zig Ziglar and many others), has been the president of the National Speakers Association and received the Cavett Award for a lifetime of service. He has authored 14 books and scores of recorded programs.

Please join us on Saturday to hear Jim speak on “Abundance vs. Scarcity Mentality”. This will be a spectacular educational session you won’t want to miss! We look forward to having you on the call.

Jim Cathcart Full Bio

He has delivered more than 2,700 presentations to audiences in every state of the US, most provinces of Canada and countries from Scotland to Singapore. Two of his most recent international engagements were for thousands of business leaders in Bogota’, Colombia and Caracas, Venezuela!

A researcher and philosopher at heart, Jim is also a down to earth regular guy. He has worked in warehouses, driven trucks, sold donuts door to door, been a bank teller, played guitar in night clubs and beer pubs, and sold motorcycles.

Someone recently said, “Jim Cathcart is what ‘Fonzie’ would have been if he’d gone to business school.”

Jim was an insurance agent for many years, an Army officer and a bill collector who, while in his twenties, had to repossess log trucks in the mountains of northern Arkansas. From this varied background he decided in 1972 to become an authority on the subject of motivation and through decades of dedication and hard work, made it happen.

After hearing Earl Nightingale on the radio one day in 1972, Jim was inspired to change his life. While working as a government clerk in the Urban Renewal Agency he determined to learn psychology and master the process of self-improvement. Through years of fanatical dedication to this new quest he learned new skills, became a certified trainer for a variety of programs, read stacks of books, attended countless seminars and volunteered thousands of hours to civic organizations. In this process he moved from clerk, to manager, to leader, to trainer, to author and professional speaker.

Today he is listed in the professional Speaker Hall of Fame, is a recipient of the prestigious Golden Gavel Award (along with Earl Nightingale, Art Linkletter, Zig Ziglar and many others), has been the president of the National Speakers Association and received the Cavett Award for a lifetime of service. He has authored 14 books and scores of recorded programs.

In 2007 he was listed as one of The Top 100 Minds on Personal Development by Leadership Excellence magazine. The San Diego chapter of the National Speakers Association renamed their member of the year award “The Jim Cathcart Service Award” and the Greater Los Angeles chapter gave Jim the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003. In 2008 he was inducted as one of the “Legends of the Speaking Profession.”

Jim Cathcart is an active motivational speaker and prolific author plus an executive coach to numerous high-achievers. In his personal time he plays Rock n Roll guitar, rides his motorcycle on the twistiest roads he can find and runs the trails of the mountains near his home at least twice each week. He’s a proud parent and grandparent and an active civic leader.

He serves on the board of advisors to the School of Business at both Pepperdine University and California Lutheran University. His messages can be seen on iLearningGlobal.tv and on TSTN.com.

Please join us on this call and tell others about it. Spread the word so that we can get more people to embrace an Abundance Mindset and get away from the Scarcity Thinking that takes away opportunity. Send the link to this email to those who would benefit from hearing it.

For those who want to keep this learning alive, please join us for the “Breakthrough to Prosperity” Seminar Series seven times a year here in the “101 Corridor”.

I have the happy problem of receiving more requests for mentoring, coaching and training than I can fulfill. Not that I have large-fee speaking engagements spilling out the door but many friends, clients, colleagues and neighbors have asked me to assist them or their companies. They have smaller budgets than the conventions that typically book me and I’ve had trouble figuring out how to help my friends without breaking the bank, theirs or mine.

Now I have a great solution! No, it’s not “dropping my price”. It is much better than that. I have created an online Television Channel, Motivation.tv. This site has several short video presentations by me, some live in front of an audience, some in a studio but all of them are targeted to help people learn to Motivate – themselves, others, customers, prospects or audiences. And best of all, it’s free. Yep, free. No charge. Zip, nada, just sitting there waiting to be accessed. How do you like the price?

Of course I hope to turn it into a big profit center, but right now it is your way to get my training without a fee. Here’s the plan: Visit the site today. Explore it. Watch the videos and Select one that you think your team would enjoy. Then book a half hour meeting and show them the video. It may help if you can show it on a larger screen than your laptop, but even a laptop will do.

After the show, ask them what ideas stood out. Have each person tell you something they heard or thought of when watching my message. Discuss what that means to them and how they can apply it right away. This should be a very stimulating conversation! Keep notes of the ideas and follow through.

Then drop me a note to share your results. I’d love to hear from you. For those who want more from me; the best resource is a combination of my messages on iLearningGlobal.tv followed by telephone coaching sessions between me and you. I’ve created a couple of dozen presentations of less than ten minutes length that you can access from iLearningGlobal in High Definition on your computer. Here is the link to one of them: http://www.ilearningglobal.tv/Vusion/?pl=playlists/faculty_sample.xml.

And, here’s the 14 minute overview presentation about iLG and how it works.

iLG is a subscription channel like HBO or Starz, except that you can choose the time and title you want. You get 24/7 access to hundreds of presentations by the top speakers in the country on topics that range from Sales to Communication to Motivation, Leadership, Dealing with Change, Stress Control, Negotiation, Fitness, Nutrition, Accounting & Tax Strategies, Philosophy, Customer Loyalty, Relationships, and even programming for Teens. It’s the biggest bargain and greatest training resource I’ve seen in 33 years of full-time professional speaking. For $79.95 (without a contract) you get an unending stream of the programs you want, when you want them. Just tune in from any internet device and select the topic or presenter you want, and voila! you have the presentation.

This allows you to save thousands over the previous methods for training. You decide what subjects need to be addressed, select the presenters you like best for your purposes, and click “play.” Ten minutes later you can choose another or just take some notes to put the ideas into action. Use your iPhone, your laptop or plug in to the TV and see it on the bigger screen. All in High-Definition and in bite sized pieces.

Give it a try and then call or email me so that we can set up a series of chats to take the new ideas to the next level in real-world application. I’m eager to help you and look forward to having you as a regular viewer on both Motivation.tv and iLearningGlobal.
