🎤 Honored to Speak at DSU Fall 2025

It was a true honor to be a featured speaker at Direct Selling University Fall 2025, sharing “The Growth Equation: Dreams × Beliefs = Motivation (Motiv-Action)” before a packed room of executives and industry leaders.

This equation has guided my 45-year journey in direct selling — a reminder that when our Dreams give us purpose and our Beliefs give us certainty, the natural outcome is not just motivation… it’s motiv-action.

The event also marked a milestone moment — the official launch of my new book, The Motivation Equation, co-written with my son, Alain Bala. Bala , Together, we explore how purpose and belief can multiply to produce extraordinary results in life and business.

My sincere thanks to Stewart Johnson, President, CEO & Founder of Direct Selling News, for the invitation and for creating a platform that unites and elevates leaders across our industry.

I left DSU inspired by the passion, innovation, and collaboration driving direct selling forward.
Here’s to multiplying dreams, strengthening beliefs, and taking motivated action.

Motivation. We chase it, we crave it, and we curse ourselves when it seems to vanish. How many times have you started a new project bursting with energy, only to see that enthusiasm evaporate after a week? How often have you set a bold New Year’s resolution only to watch it fade by February?

The Motivation Equation™

Discover the Formula to Stay Driven, Disciplined & Inspired — Even When Life Gets Hard.

By Alfredo Bala, “The Motivation Guy”

Welcome to The Motivation Equation™

Success doesn't happen by accident. It’s not about hype, luck, or raw talent alone. The truly motivated — the ones
who build legacies — live by a formula. After 45 years of coaching top entrepreneurs, leading global companies,
and mentoring thousands in Direct Selling, I’ve discovered that formula.

This short guide reveals what I call *The Motivation Equation™* — a 3-part formula to stay consistent, energized,
and purpose-driven in your business and life.
The Formula: DREAM x BELIEF x DAILY ACTION = MOTIVATION

Think of motivation not as a feeling, but as a result — the outcome of three critical forces working together:

1️⃣ DREAM — Your reason, your “why,” your vision.
2️⃣ BELIEF — The inner conviction that your dream is possible.
3️⃣ DAILY ACTION — The consistent behaviors that build momentum.

Miss one part, and motivation breaks down. But when all three align, motivation becomes unstoppable.

Part 1: DREAM

Your dream is the spark. It’s not just a goal — it’s a compelling future that excites and challenges you.
The bigger and more personal your dream, the more energy you’ll tap into.

✍️ ACTION STEP: Write out your dream in 3 sentences. Make it emotional. Make it personal.
What do you want your life, business, and legacy to look like in 3–5 years?

Part 2: BELIEF

Belief is the multiplier. Without belief, dreams remain fantasies. With belief, the impossible becomes achievable.
You build belief through faith, environment, mentorship, and repeated wins.

🧠 ACTION STEP: Rate your current belief (0–10) in your dream becoming reality.
Then identify one belief-limiting thought you must replace — and one truth you’ll declare instead.

Part 3: DAILY ACTION

This is where dreams and belief become real. Motivation shows up when we show up — daily.
Small, consistent actions compound. They build trust with yourself, results in your business, and strength in your mindset.

💪 ACTION STEP: Choose 3 non-negotiable daily habits to support your dream. Examples: Reach out to 3 prospects,
read 10 pages, review your goals aloud.

Final Words + Your Next Step

You now have the formula. Use it daily. Speak it. Share it. Build your life and business with it.

If you’re ready to go deeper, I invite you to join my weekly Zooms, download bonus resources,
or apply for private mentorship. I believe in your dream — now let’s multiply it.

🚴‍♂️ 13 Rides. 139 Miles. 8,180 Calories.

What began as a birthday promise—65 rides for my 65th year—has already transformed into something much deeper.

In just a few weeks, I’ve turned the corner—not just in fitness, but in focus, discipline, and clarity. Every drop of sweat, every beat of my heart, every mile ridden on that Peloton isn’t just physical—it’s personal. It’s symbolic of a new season in my life.

The graphs don’t lie.
The heart rate zones, the calories, the cadence—they all reveal a truth I teach in my book The Motivation Equation:
👉 Consistency is the compound interest of effort.
The gains might not come all at once. But the person you become in the process? That’s the real reward.

This isn’t about a number on the scale or a line on a chart. It’s about becoming the kind of person who shows up—even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. 💪

✅ 13 rides complete
✅ 12-day streak
✅ More energy. More clarity. More intention.

And I’m just getting warmed up. 🔥

This is a reminder to anyone watching, especially those of us stepping into a new chapter:
It’s not too late. You’re not too old. The motivation isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you create.

Let’s ride.

Honoring a Giant Who Shaped My Journey — Denis Waitley (1933–2024)

I never had the chance to call Denis Waitley a friend—but he was absolutely a mentor to me from afar.

Denis was the first motivational speaker I ever saw on stage—before even Zig Ziglar. It was 1981, Free Enterprise Day in Macon, GA. I was young, hungry, and searching… and I’ll never forget the moment he stepped on that stage. His presence, his message—it lit a fire in me that still burns to this day.

His book and recording Born to Win became my personal playbook. I read it, listened to it, lived it. It gave me a new way of thinking, believing, and showing up in the world. That message helped shape who I became—not just in business, but in life.

Denis never knew the depth of his impact on me. But I know I’m just one of millions he touched with his words, wisdom, and life.

He was truly one of the greats. And today, I pause to honor him and say thank you.

Rest well, Denis. You were born to win—and helped the rest of us believe we were too.

With deep respect,
Alfredo Bala
