well here we are again I've been hustling
for months getting ready for this conference in fact, all Nikken employees
have been stepping out of the box and playing new or additional roles
How about those dancers
for those of you who don't recognize
this yet I want to tell you those dancers were Nikken employees
desk jockeys were performing live on stage
how's that for stepping out of the box
it's not easy
even if it looks like a whole lot of fun it is like a revolution
a revolution of the self
Humans Being More, people
we're trying to make more about them
practice what we preach and spread the word
all of you over and over again so you can go out there and duplicate
let me tell you a little bit
about why we started this Nikken Revolution we
want you revolutionize your sales too
we Nikken employees
we're the guinea pigs so to speak our fearless leader has
every single one of us doing things that make us
a little uncomfortable okay
mighty uncomfortable but you know what
when I stepped out in front of you for the first time last year
even after 23 years I was shaking
in my shoes yeah
I was shaking but you all wrapped me up in your arms
and embraced me with love
it was a wonderful feeling
this year be honest I'm still kind of shaking
cause getting up in front of a crowd of people is
is not what I was born to do
but my boss keeps making me doing it
so this year I'm shaking just a little bit less you know
I think there's truth in the saying Practice makes perfect
many of you have known me for years
you supported me as much as I supported you
you've danced with me
you party with me you got me to
troubleshoot your orders
I troubleshoot a lot more that that sometimes
we have a long-term relationship
we build up trust in each other
we help each other that's personal
and beautiful isn't it?
build a long term relationship and I know
there have been some changes through the years not everyone is thrilled with it
I know because I hear from you
and that
got me thinking
hustler, Mama Pat or just that black woman from Tennessee
those are only different parts that make up the whole of
me every morning
before I go to work I look at my face in the mirror
you know I have to like what
what I see I don't mean how pretty my face is
or if my hair's right I mean I have to like who I see
in the mirror if there's a morning when I
something I don't like I know
have to go to work on it just as fast as I can, soon as I can to make it right
and I'm not talking about
Mission Impossible or something that will take years to fix
I'm talking about
the small things you know there's
that saying, Don't sweat the small stuff well
the Nikken Revolution began with the small stuff
because if we don't sweat the small stuff
that makes up who we are, there is going to be
one nasty heap of bad stuff so what I do
when I look in the mirror I see if there's anything my conscience is burdened with
if the answer is No I'm good to go
there are plenty of days I look in the mirror
and know there's reason I'm not 100% happy
but if that displeasure is something I caused or something I have control over
I'm still good to go I don't waste
time on things I have no control over. Because if I'm not 100 percent happy, and that discontent is due to something
I have personally said or done
then I know I have to make it right
sometimes it's nothing said or nothing done
is just what I've been thinking. Negative thoughts, they're useless thoughts
and don't we all have too many of those. We have to step out the box together
we have to check ourselves, reflect upon our own
actions be accountable for that face in the mirror - that's what the Nikken Revolution is all about
I'll put it to you another way. When you ask a child who's done something wrong
like Who did that?
that child knows the truth, but they don't want to cough it up
now I have have children and grandchildren and I can tell you this
these so-called grownups, they act the same
as my children and grandchildren
they don't want to cough it up. Own up to your own life
be accountable for who you are, and why your
life is the way it is. If you don't like it, revolutionize! That's what the Nikken
Revolution is all about and when you revolutionize the Nikken way
you do it with love. You do it with purity
of thought and intention
Humans Being More, people
that's what the Nikken Revolution is all about - and if you don't love yourself
what makes you think anybody else will
I don't care what
anybody says
we all want to love and be loved
but it starts
within ourselves now that
is what the Nikken Revolution is all about
