Lisa Nichols, founder and CEO of Motivating the Teen Spirit LLC, is a dynamic motivational speaker. She was a feature in Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret", and even though her English teacher thought she was one of the worst writers ever, Lisa has two book deals with the highly successful "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series.

Motivating the Teen Spirit is changing lives for teens and their parents everywhere. Over 60,000 teen lives have been touched in some way. More than 1,800 suicides have been prevented, nearly 1,000 dropouts have returned to school, and countless teens have been reunited with their parents.

Lisa Nichols has had a passion for helping people since she was a teen herself. She remembers praying as a child that God would get her through her tough times and show her how to later help others as well. Because Lisa was emotionally illiterate in her teens, she has decided to put most of her focus on teens today. She was an outgoing, social person, but she knew her emotions weren't what they should be.

Greatness isn't something you're born with. It doesn't come from some sort of "magic fairy dust." Lisa Nichols believes every great person is a product of whatever life has dealt them. Each experience, whether good or bad, should be a learning one. Each challenge should be considered an opportunity for growth.

Lisa Nichols always wanted to be a public speaker. In fact, she believed it was something God was leading her to do. Unfortunately, Lisa was a lot like Moses in the Bible - afraid to speak. She even got a "D" in her speech class at school. How could she be a public speaker? Lisa dwelled on her fears for five years before finally acting.

Many people today struggle with passions as well. It doesn't have to be a passion for speaking. It could be anything. Lisa would often feel as if God were calling her, but she would say, "Can you call back later?" She had a great job making a six-figure income. She had benefits, and she had a small child to consider.

We just face our fears. Don't let the seemingly secure life keep you from reaching your real goals. Are you happy with your life? Are you TRULY happy with your life? Is there anything you could change or make better? If so, you're not truly happy, and you need to face whatever fear is holding you back.

Lisa decided to overcome her fears by studying speech, facilitation, and entrepreneurship. Before her confidence and credibility would allow her to start charging a fee, she worked with teens for free. She's happier than she ever thought possible, and her fears of speaking and security are gone. Get out there and face your fears, too. You'll be happy you did!
