As many of you know, I don’t listen when I hear “No.” I just dust myself off and make another attempt……and another and another.

Time for you – recharge, slow down

Yesterday was one of those days. I had a LONGGGGGGGG list of things I wanted to accomplish as the week had been very busy! At the moment, I work full time and use every other moment I have on weekdays and weekends to pour into my own company work – it can be quite challenging!

Therefore, as I was trying to conceptualize this, it would frustrate me that I didn’t know EXACTLY what that was……rather infuriating actually. (I should have prefaced this with the fact that “patience” is NOT at all a virtue I possess) Continue Reading
Creating a speech…
by Dina Pestonji on
Theoretically, if I want to create a company based around motivational speaking, logic would dictate that ACTUALLY writing a speech is a prerequisite. (VERY true). While I know that I have a very unique story, sitting down and putting my experience on paper is a lot harder than I expected. Continue Reading
An author? Who… ME?
by Dina Pestonji on
I’ve started to tell people my plans of starting my motivational speaking company – friends, family and other motivational speakers – and the prevailing comment I often hear is – “So you’re writing a book now right”??? – Ummm….when did motivational speaking become an obvious link to writing a book?!
