Mr. Griff Martin (Managing Vice President at Symmetry Financial)
Coach Ruffin, it’s Griff. We really enjoyed the meeting this morning. I couldn’t agree more that fundamentals are the key to success in any area of our life. As we master these fundamentals with consistent activity and effort, we slowly grow intentionally in the direction we want to grow. Really liked the stuck in quick sand analogy. I use the same one in regards to running up a hill of gravel. The more consistent effort we pursue on a regular basis and the better our habits, we can turn that gravel into concrete which makes it easier to reach the top. “Make practice harder than the game”!! That is fire man.
Also something that so many people don’t understand. Building urgency is something that everyone has done at some point in their lives. Being able to target that effort is the more difficult piece for so many. My eyes are focused on my family and helping others like Ashton do great things in this business and change lives. I’m very thankful that he brought you to us this morning. One of the best ones we’ve had yet.

Public Speaking And Networking Event
Janiesha Shanae (Motivational Speaker and Empowerment Coach; CEO of Feed Her Respectfully)
First off I’d like to Congratulate Coach & Motivational Speaker Jeremy Ruffin on his first Networking event for Established and Upcoming Speakers. You created a sacred space for each and everyone of us to feel comfortable and vulnerable to share our stories. That is not an easy thing to do and for you to do it over a time span of 2 hours speaks volumes. I’m excited about future events and even more proud of you for taking that leap. Today I was able to meet some great people in the community who are doing great things. I can’t wait to expand those connections.
This seminar was very resourceful and allowed me to dive deeper into why I want to speak, where I want to speak, what I want to convey and Who I want to speak to. Jeremy you were able to bring in speakers from a variety of backgrounds, ages, and life experiences. A powerful group of people with intention in their hearts to motivate others. You touched on marketing, you touched on Presentation, you touched on niche and so much more. It had me engaged, determined, and motivated to learn more. Well done if you are reading this you do not want to miss out on the next event. Follow Ruff Path on FB
