Just Do It Motivation Speech by Art Williams

If you are procrastinating, waiting for 'the right time' or inspiration to make something perfect, this motivational speech from Art Williams should help. His Just Do It mantra is energising and reminds you not to wait and see, not to wait for permission to make business decisions etc


Some believe that this productivity speech is the origin of the Nike slogan Just Do It. However, the creator of the original advertising campaign that used the strapline, Dan Wieden, has stated that the night before he was to present a series of several ads, he was looking for something to hang them together. Strangely, he remembered the words of murderer Gary Gilmore to members of the firing squad when asked for his last words - he said "Let's Do It".

Wieden changed this to Just Do It and there we have it. Shows that not all big ideas need to come from rooms full of creative thinkers bouncing ideas off each other or epiphanies at the top of mountains in Tibet.

Anyway - hope you enjoyed the video!
