The Chip That Fueled Velocity

Published on May 20, 2025

Every success story has a chip on its shoulder—a reason to fight harder, to push forward when others would quit.

This is the story of a young boy who dreaded introducing himself. He had a speech impediment—one that made it nearly impossible to pronounce the letter R.

Now imagine not being able to clearly say your own name. Every time someone asked, “What’s your name?” his heart would race, his stomach would knot—because he knew the words would betray him.

But here’s the thing: that challenge didn’t hold him back. It became his motivation.

He studied communication—not just how to speak, but how to influence, how to lead with clarity and purpose. He realized success isn’t about perfection. It’s about eliminating resistance: the fear, the self-doubt, the excuses.

That young boy is me. I’m Ron Karr®.

Today, as a sales leadership consultant and sales leadership speaker, I help CEOs and business leaders around the world eliminate resistance, gain buy-in faster, and accelerate their results through the Velocity Mindset®.
I teach leaders how to stop being busy and start being impactful.

Because if a kid who couldn’t say his own name can learn to lead with influence and velocity, so can you.

The chip on your shoulder isn’t a weakness—it’s your power source.

Some see a chip on the shoulder as a leg weight, something that strips them of their velocity and slows them down. But others, like me, see that chip as pure motivation—a force that pushes you through any fear, any doubt, any obstacle that gets in your way.

The choice is yours.

If you are a CEO or senior executive looking to eliminate resistance, accelerate results, and lead with greater impact, schedule a free Velocity Mindset® call with me. I have helped leaders on six continents break through barriers and achieve what once seemed out of reach—and I’d be honored to help you do the same. https://calendly.com/ronkarr/30min
