Motivational and Inspirational Talks
We all face challenges in our lives. But some, unfortunately, seem to be on the receiving end of more than they bargained for. It sometimes becomes overwhelming. No sooner do you overcome one challenge, another pops up, and then another with no end in sight. Anup Gupta has faced something like that since his childhood.
In his early teenage years, he was the target of some of the meanest kids in his neighborhood due to his stuttering problem. In his late teens, when all his classmates moved on to the schools of their choice, he could not get into the school and even the major he had chosen despite working extremely hard. He changed his major, hoping for better luck. But to his despair, the same result. He felt hopeless, broken, and defeated.
In his early twenties, to make ends meet, he had to work two jobs for some time, one full-time from 8:30 to 5 and another from 7 to midnight. He got married in 1995. As life seemed to be getting back on track, in March 1996, he lost his full-time job. Along with the job, he lost his company car. His wife was not working at that time. What made it even tougher and nerve-wracking was that they were expecting their first child in August. This meant bills, bills, and more bills with zero income. The worst of it was the health insurance. Being first-generation immigrants, they had no family or friends whom they could ask for assistance. Rather than taking the relatively easier route of looking for another job, it was under such challenging circumstances that Anup started his business from his two-bedroom apartment in Stow, Ohio.
Based on his life story, Anup Gupta has put together two talks to provide hope to folks who feel defeated and hopeless like he did. He provides the audience with a glimpse into his personal life, exposes his vulnerabilities, and delivers a powerful message of grit, resiliency, and success. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The key is to stay the course and not give up. Be relentless. Tune out of the naysayer. Have a plan. Get after it with a vengeance, 100% commitment, and a laser-sharp focus.
1. No, you can’t!
Have you ever been told the above words? If yes, how did you respond? Did these words kill your aspirations or provide the fuel to achieve even higher goals?
These are the words that haunted Anup Gupta for years. He had a stuttering problem since his childhood. It became a significant problem in his teen years when his schoolmates and others poked fun at him and called him names. The breaking point was when, despite his capability, he was not chosen to be on the school sports team.
In this talk, Anup shares his hair-raising and inspiring story. This is the same Anup, who once was a stutterer, is a professional speaker today. After graduating from high school, the person who was labeled a failure by his classmates founded and managed a successful business for over 25 years and reached financial independence at the young age of 49. His message is that if you are willing to put in the effort, have perseverance, laser-sharp focus, and, most of all, believe in yourself, nothing is impossible.

2. I am a failure!
Anup said the above words to his mom when he could not get into college and the major of his choice, even after changing the major of his first choice. It’s tough for a parent to hear such painful words and see their child go through immense anguish and a negative mental state.
In this talk, Anup shares some of the failures he has endured and the roles those failures have played in shaping his life. He talks about “success” – what it is and how to achieve it.
