Short motivational talk by Kimberly Hobscheid (Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel) encouraging listeners to place inspiring reminders in their wallets (e.g., passport, notes, stickers, business cards) to stay focused and motivated daily. She uses her personal example—keeping her passport in a small wallet—and invites entrepreneurs to apply to EntrepreneursRocketFuel.com for mentoring and coaching.
Hey, folks, it's Kimberly. Want to get inspired and focused and make sure you have a reminder to do that every day? I have one question for you. What's in your wallet? That's right. So, folks, I'm Kimberly Hobscheid from Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel. I was sitting with one of my students yesterday, and we were talking about her purse, which was a really big, enormous purse, and it's filled with all kinds of wonderful things, from her kids toys to all kinds of different things. And she said, I have this big purse because it is full of the things that inspire. And I thought, what a great lesson for everybody to. And I wanted to share that with our group. Like, what's in your wallet? And what is in there that inspires you? And it got us to talking because this is my wallet right here. It's my whole purse. As a matter of fact, this is what I carry with me. And I don't have one of those big, enormous girl purses with everything in it. But then again, I don't have small kids where I need to keep pacifiers and toys in there anymore either. But the things that are in this wallet are super important and do inspire me, and they probably inspire you as well. And I thought we sort of talk a little bit about what's in your wallet and what you might want to put in there in order to make sure that you stay focused and inspired every day. So this is my actual wallet, and one of the things that's in it certainly credit cards and cash and my car keys and everything that I need in order to get through my day. But one thing that's unusual about my wallet that's probably not in everybody's wallet is that I actually have this in my wallet. That's right. It's my passport. And my passport certainly inspires me. Now, I do need my passport because I travel a lot, and I do have an opportunity to get on planes to nice, wonderful foreign countries. Recently I was in London. Recently I was in the Bahamas. Recently I was in Vancouver. And traveling for me is something that really, really inspires me. I like to travel and speak and present in front of large groups, but travel and seeing other cultures and other communities and what they have to offer, and there are different types of food and there are different types of environments. I absolutely love travel. So one of the things that inspires me deeply is travel. So having my passport actually in this tiny little wallet is something that inspires me every day. It could be anything that you have in there. It could be a note from somebody special that you love. Or it could be some stickers. Or certainly don't forget your business cards and make sure that they're in there as well on your credit cards and cash. But what is in your wallet? Go ahead and take a look at your wallet today and see what is in there that is inspiring you and keeping you focused on what you want to get out of this life. It's a great place to keep things because it's an everyday reminder and to develop healthy habits and remind you to stay focused on what you want to accomplish in the world. Having a little reminder inside your wallet could be just the thing that you need in order to keep you focused and stay inspired. All right, folks, if you don't already have a mentor or a guide or a coach or somebody that can help you during the lonely part of entrepreneurship and help you avoid some of the obstacles that are in the road and help you not hit them, I would love to talk to you.
