Joining us today on the Jake Dunlap Show, we have Larry Long Jr., Founder and CEO of the Larry Long Jr (LLC), which focuses on sales motivation, inspiration, training and coaching, helping people and teams achieve their greatness. Larry is also the host of the ‘Midweek Midday Motivational Minute’ which is the motor behind his first book, “Jolt!”. He shares with us the lessons that transformed him into the confident and accomplished person he is today, his journey from opening an indoor softball and baseball academy to venturing into the world of sales and finally finding the courage to dedicate himself to his true passions. Surrounded by the never-ending support of his family and friends, Larry shares with us the moment he decided to make the leap from a very successful career in sales and go on to the path of motivational speaking and investing in his own brand.

Quotes:
“I’ve never met a “stranger”, and that came just from the encouragement of my parents, to get out, make new friends, meet new people [...] My mom used to make me stand up in the middle of the room, every night, holding my hands over my head and say “I am somebody”, and when you do that, you start to believe that you are somebody. ”
“[His father said] If you don’t believe in yourself, you’re done for it. You might as well give up. You can’t have my name if you’re going to give up. Get back to the drawing board and work on your craft, and most importantly work on your mindset.”
“When you show people through your actions, that you care, at the most random times, it comes back to you. You’re not giving with the intent to receive, you’re just giving to give, and it’s amazing how it comes full circle.”
‘If you don’t do it, you’re being selfish, because you’re making it about you and you being scared. If you can impact one person for the positive, that’s all that matters.”
“If you’re not saying your greatness out loud, it’s very tough to step into it. So I encourage people to say “I am somebody” every day. Ten times a day.“
“Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you’re right”. Henry Ford
