Motivational author and speaker Shawn Anderson is taking his
empowering “go the extra mile” message to the Philippines. The author of SOAR to the Top!, Amicus 101, and Extra
Mile America: Stories of Inspiration, Possibility and Purpose will be
traveling to the Philippine Islands from July 18 thru August 2, 2015, speaking
to a variety of private and non-profit organizations.
The lifetime entrepreneur and keynoter is not
immune to creating big challenges and then seeing them through. Anderson is the
Founder of Extra Mile America and the creator of Extra Mile Day…a day recognizing
the capacity we each have to create positive change when we go the extra mile.
On November 1, 2014, 527 U.S. cities made the unique declaration and recognized
those in their local communities who were going the extra mile in volunteerism
and service.
The author of six books, Anderson doesn't just talk about themes such as “go the extra mile” and “live the life you
love”…he lives them. Last summer, he hiked 550 miles across Spain in 27 days.
This year, he will be hiking nearly 400 miles across Portugal. Additionally, Anderson
has biked the U.S. solo twice, run a 100-mile race and created adventures
around the world. With 75,000 book copies in print, Anderson says he’s only
just begun.
“Our best days should always be ahead of us.
If we can dream about adventures to be lived and opportunities to be created,
then why not make them happen?” Anderson asks. “My juice in life is to help
other people believe that they can truly live the best version of themselves.
No matter what has happened to us in life, we always have a choice to walk
passionately and purposefully…or just give up.”
Anderson’s 20,000-attendee goal seems large
on the surface. “My initial goal was 10,000 people until someone from the
Philippines told me that no motivational speaker could attract that number of
attendees. Immediately my mind said, ‘Then let’s reach 20,000,’” Anderson shares.“Most
limitations exist because we allow them to. Limited thinking is not my thing,
and I’m going to do my best to share with 20,000 Filipinos that it shouldn’t be
their thing either.
