Hi all,
my name's Nic, and I'm 32 years old. I'd like to tell you a couple of the juicy details about my life. Around the age of 19, I developed a vocal cord disorder that has been affecting my speech ever since. It has been a challenge (to use a light term) to relate to people. I've used this as an excuse to not do certain things in my life (mostly things related to business and romance) because people are constantly giving me funny looks when they hear me talk, so I started hiding my voice. But, something MJ wrote in his book has been very uplifting.
To paraphrase, he wrote that it doesn't matter who you are, what you perceive to be wrong with yourself, or what your education or race is. If you develop a product or service that fills a need, the market will respond. This has been incredibly inspiring for me because I've always viewed myself as being at a disadvantage due to my vocal cord issue. Frankly, that doesn't matter. I've often felt hopeless about finding lucrative work because communicating is such a challenge for me, but, these words inspire me to think beyond my challenge and into the realm of how I can serve others. To use the Unscripted analogy, if the person who creates a cure for cancer has a speech issue, people will still buy the cure for cancer. The market doesn't care how tall a person is, what their gender is, if they have a vocal cord issue, or another disability...if a product or service is created that meets a need, the market will respond.
MJ's books have made the dormant hope within me come alive, and I'm interested in the process of developing a product that can truly have a positive impact upon the lives of other people. Thanks for getting to know me, and I look forward to going deeper. -Nic
