Once a Poor Boy In Haiti, Now Invited By The Napoleon Hill Foundation To Deliver a Life-changing & Motivational Keynote On How Mr. Hill’s Philosophy Changed His Life
Atlanta, GA, February 21, 2004 – Haitian Motivational keynote speaker & award-winning author Rene Godefroy to address the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at 2300 173rd Street Hammond, Indiana on Friday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Unable to speak English, Rene arrived in America with five dollars, two shirts and one pair of pants housed in a tattered briefcase. His hope was to one day be able to lend a hand to his village in Haiti. Where many would see nothing but overwhelming odds stacked against them, Godefroy saw an abundance of opportunity and a chance to pursue the “American Dream.” “Napoleon Hill’s philosophy on success is what put me on the road to living my dream. Prior to reading Think & Grow Rich, I had only heard of the word success. But through his book, it was Mr. Hill who shared it’s ingredients with me.” Says Godefroy.

Once in America, Godefroy summoned his keen survival instincts to pursue his ambitions. He taught himself English and read voraciously. As his knowledge increased, his quality of life improved and his dream of helping his fellow Haitians and making an impact in America was sure to be realized.

Today, as one of America’s most sought-after and inspiring motivational keynote speakers, Rene is renowned both nationally and internationally. His advice on achieving success has graced the ears of thousands! He has appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes, in a segment that featured Zig Ziglar, and Colin Powell. Armed with a passionate story and a compelling vision, Rene exemplifies the essence of what makes America great!

Discover How a Mentor Can Help You Jumpstart Your Career and Triple Your Income

Twenty years ago, after struggling for survival in a tiny Haitian village, I arrived in America. I had only five dollars, two shirts, one pair of pants, and I didn’t speak any English. My success in this great land would be unthinkable to many. And I am often asked to share my secrets.

Well, there are no secrets to my achievements. I simply seek out people with the right answers to mentor me. Some mentored me through books, and others in person. Your accomplishments in life are directly related to the kind of sustaining mentor/mentee relationships you have created.

School is a good thing. But years of schooling cannot teach us the good old and highly-effective method of getting to the heart of success. Think about it this way, we go to school and gobble truckloads of information in order to finish school quickly.

We, then, enter the world of work only to realize that experience is the real teacher of all teachers. And nowadays, all of the job postings are asking for experience. We find ourselves frustrated and fumbling in the dark alleys of personal and professional success. We wonder why we can’t make big money in our business or career.
The key to getting what you want is very simple. All you have to do is to find someone who has been there to show you the way. If success leaves clues as we know it, then those who went before us should remember the ones that they encountered themselves.
Success, in whatever line of work, is like walking in a field of landmines. It’s necessary to have a minesweeper or a mentor—someone who has been there and knows where to step. You know the landmines I am referring to. They are the mistakes and bad decisions that often blow up our faces.

In addition to providing ideas and guidance, your mentor will hold you accountable for your success. That alone is priceless. Like the great Jewish King Solomon said, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”

How To Stay Focused And Motivated
By Rene Godefroy

Do you remember a time when you had a big and lofty dream? Maybe you wanted to be a movie star in art house films, an organ transplant doctor, or a world-class triathlete. Perhaps you dreamed of crossing the ocean in a sailboat or chiseling sculpture out of mountain rock.

As a youngster, you may have worked hard toward achieving that dream. You talked about it with your every acquaintance and most distant relation whenever you had the opportunity. But slowly you drifted away from your heart's desire. What happened?

The answer is easy: You got distracted! You got confused. Your friends enticed you into joining their parade. You were no longer in rhythm with who you are.
The law of momentum in physics says that a body in motion tends to remain in motion until an outside force acts upon it. Distractions.

Your friends or family members acted upon you by overtly discouraging you, or by encouraging you to follow a more "sensible" path. So you stopped practicing, stopped studying, stopped working toward your highest ambition. All those distractions and "sensible" decisions competed for your attention. Your grand dream gradually became just a footnote in the history of your life.

Have you ever heard the truism that says "used to bees make no honey"? Do you know people who are always talking about what they used to do? They usually say, “Someday I will pick it up again.” But that's a weak excuse for avoiding the risk of living your dream.

The time is now! When you have a worthy goal—something that is worth going after, you have to apply the law of critical success to your life. This law says that you should always be doing something that moves you closer to your goal. Question: What are you doing today that is drawing you a little bit nearer to accomplishing your dream?

Shakespeare wrote, “This above all, to thine own self be true.” Bravo, Mr. Shakespeare! Being true to yourself means that you do what matters most to you, regardless of what else is competing for your time. Our deeds and achievements are the only yardsticks we can use to measure our integrity, and the only evidence we can use to judge whether we have been true to our selves.

From now on, why not put the law of momentum into action? It is said that motion creates emotion. When you take action toward that which you most desire, your self-confidence will soar. Distractions shift you off-course or slow you down; actions accelerate you forward along your chosen course.

Every action strengthens you to take another. You will become unstoppable! You will liberate yourself from guilt and self-pity. You will become the envy of the world. Many people never commit to anything. They have interests and hobbies, but no passion or driving ambition. I believe that you are one of those people who can commit; otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article.

Life is like a bicycle. The moment we stop pedaling, we start losing momentum. If we coast for too long, we fall. Resolve to press on in spite of all your distractions.
Here is what you can do to get whatever you want in life: First, identify your distractions and move away from them.

By doing so, you will become effective rather than merely efficient. Being effective means doing the right things, while being efficient means doing things right. It's nice to be efficient, but it doesn't do you any good if you're not doing the things that will move you toward your dream. Focus first on being effective; let efficiency come as it may.

Second, write the word MOMENTUM in big letters and hang it somewhere that you will see it often. Do something daily that will bring you closer to your goal.
Third, make a public commitment by asking your friends—those who are positive and encouraging—to hold you accountable. Talk about your dream with them to begin edging it into the world. Speak of it as something that you are doing, not something that you think about doing.

Finally, learn all you can about the lore of your passion. If you are not, at the least, more knowledgeable than the average person about the subject of your dream, you are fooling somebody—yourself.

So, my friend, live your finest ambition. Do it because you must. You probably won’t find any help when you begin. You will, however, get all the help you want when you are already there. So be true to thine own self. Honesty is the iron string that vibrates within every heart. Let results be the measure of your integrity. Work hard at it. Do more than is expected, more than is common. Keep the momentum going!


Shame On Jealous People
By Rene Godefroy

Mitshuca is a dazzling teenager with a sparkling smile that any toothpaste company would envy. She has an earthy and effervescent personality. She is the essence of femininity. Simply put, she is a masterpiece! But there is one problem. Many of her schoolmates are jealous of her beauty. How sad! Is Mitshuca better than they are? No!!!!

History is replete with people who were short, tall, ugly, and even disabled, who shattered the ceiling of doubts and limitations to change the world for the better. You see, it’s not what’s on you that is important, it’s what’s in you!

Being attractive is not a rite of passage. It doesn’t guarantee us anything in life. Jealousy is a symptom of a severe case of low self-esteem, and it’s a disease that can eat us alive. We all at some point suffer from low self-esteem. However, disliking another because of what he or she has is almost like living life at the level of the beast.

Perhaps you wonder why I feel so strongly about this issue. I promise you, I am not a victim. I just feel sorry for those who are dealing with jealous friends or family members. Mitshuca can’t change a thing about her beauty.

She can only keep in mind that her good looks don’t mean that she is better than anybody else and strive to be humble instead of pompous or arrogant. That’s all she can do.

As you strive to reach your maximum potential, you are bound to meet many jealous people. Please be compassionate with them. They are sick and they need your help. Try instead to boost their self-esteem by stroking their egos.
