People are surrounded by all sorts of messages each day. Many of these are negative, like tragedies happening in the news or average television shows. Listening to motivational speakers can help counteract negativity and encourage people to reach their full potential in the world.

One of these motivational speakers is Steve Holbrook, who also owns a large and thriving insurance company. “Helping people reach their peak performance is my true motivation,” Steve said.

Steve Holbrook isn’t one of those speakers who talks about achieving your dreams after having his on a silver platter. When Steve was two, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Since then, he has spent countless nights in the hospital, taken various medications, and has undergone several surgeries.

Steve also didn’t have an easy time creating his insurance business. When he graduated from college, he knew he had to strike out on his own, as he didn’t like working for other people. This company took time to grow, and its trajectory was never perfect.

The company faced even more challenges when Holbrook had a big scare from his Crohn’s. He had to stay in the hospital for months, which eventually resulted in a surgery that removed 8 feet of his colon, rectum, and small intestine. Fortunately, he had invested employees who cared about the company’s success, kept the margins in the black and waited until he was able to re-join work.

Some might say that Holbrook isn’t in the peak physical shape for an adult man because of his Crohn’s. But Steve works very hard to stay in peak mental shape and seems to have every minute booked in his day trying to run his business and help people. One of the things he does, is visit and counsel people in the hospital who have similar health condition. He inspires them to stay positive during their treatment and never give up.

He has a business blog hosted on his website that helps professionals dream bigger for their work.

He also runs his own podcast series. The podcast is all about how important mindset is and how a positive mindset can make huge changes in someone’s life.

Holbrook is a powerful motivational speaker who has toured all over the U.S. and Canada to share his story and his voice. He wants to help people live their lives to the fullest and achieve what he has and more. The focus of his talks is using the right approach, staying positive, and being mentally tough. He has touched the lives of people all over North America with his teachings.

One of the things Steve says often is, “If I can succeed using my ways and techniques, then so can you.” Since Steve has had unique challenges and setbacks along the way, it makes it seem more possible to look forward to the future. Maybe with Steve’s advice, it’ll be possible to take the leap for a better tomorrow.
