Eric Hodge: Thousands of North Carolinians will be traveling to the R-B-C Center in Raleigh this morning. They’re hoping to Get Motivated in this weary business climate. Leoneda Inge reports:
Leoneda Inge: The Get Motivated Business Seminar has a tried and true track record in large metro areas like the Triangle. If you bring in big-time motivational speakers like General Colin Powell, Dr. Robert Schuller and Legendary football coach Lou Holtz – people hungry for a little motivation will come.
Besides the big names – the price is a draw. Ads say the event is “almost free” – only $4.95 per person. But the good seats cost a lot more. The Washington Post calls the seminar “The Super Bowl of Success.” Advice from the R-B-C Center and area law enforcement – get there early to avoid a super bowl of a traffic jam - or your team will never make it to the field.
