I LOVE these adds…maybe even more than my Mac’s ; )
It will take you 1 minute to watch and a lifetime to integrate.
Where must you take the risk to go against the grain?

I did the webinar last year for a company that I co founded called The GrowOp. I know, I know, we choose it to poke people about the personal growth required to actually succeed as an entrepreneur and claim the opportunities that exist. This webinar is all about risking and even if you are not an entrepreneur I highly recommend you watch it and learn what it will take for you to consciously risk MORE!

Does This Man Look Like a Sex Maniac to You?
Given that Personal Best is sponsoring the upcoming Wayne Dyer event in Calgary on May 17th 2011, I thought that I would share an embarrassing tidbit from my past, and how Wayne Dyer had huge (if unintended) impact on me, my life and my career.
Imagine me about 1980, 13 years old, fascinated by anything and everything sex. For perspective Oprah had a expert that says that males have an image or thought about sex or sexual stimulation every three seconds. Now I know that many people that that is an exaggeration, however I think for me as a teenage boy it was a gross underestimation…perhaps they just said it wrong, it was supposed to be 3 times a second. Now that is getting closer to the truth, but I digress.
I am 13 years old and in my Mom’s bedroom and and there I see on her bedside table a SEX book! Now I should tell you that my family has always been very open about sex and sexuality and that her leaving a book about sex out was well within the realm of possible.
It’s title was even perfectly clear “Your Erogenous Zones” and it was complete with a picture of a sex maniac who had clearly just been left very satisfied!
Well obviously I HAD to read this book it was going to tell me all I needed to know about the hidden erotic and sexy spots that every 13 year old boy on a mission needed to know.
As open as my family was about sex, I did not feel right asking to borrow the book, so I took to going into my mom’s room while she was at work and reading “Your Erogenous Zones” sitting on the floor hidden by the bed so I could quickly replace the book on her bedside table and get out of her room when I heard her come home.
At the time I considered myself a pretty smart kid, but I must tell you that I was more than a little confused by this book. Where were the sexy parts? What are the locations of the female body that drive them wild? It must be in here…somewhere. So I keep reading and reading and reading and reading. I cannot tell you the number of times I looked at the cover, reread the title and looked into the freshly satisfied sex maniac’s face, each time thinking “well the sex stuff has to be in here somewhere”.
In the entire book I can honestly say I learned nothing about sex. However I did learn quite alot about what motivates me and other people, and it did help me navigate my teen years, my parents divorce and dare I say even helped me get laid ; ) I will be forever grateful to Wayne for planting seeds that germinated and sprouted 5 years later when I took Personal Best Seminars and ultimately influenced my career path, Thank you Wayne!
If only I was as interested in the dictionary when I was 13, I could have simply looked up the word erroneous and saved myself plenty of reading and I could have spent all that time chasing girls!
On a serious note, Wayne has been a thought leader for over 35 years, it is a privilege to be in his presence and hear him speak. Get your tickets at http://www.ticketmaster.ca and save 10% using our code PERSONALBEST

I was facilitating a Mastery Evening last night for Inner Circle members in Calgary called The 3 Steps to Financial Freedom. It was a fascinating evening. One of the activities was for participants to write their definition of Financial Freedom.
The most powerful theme in the room was this. Financial Freedom for this group was “the absence of worry or stress” related to money. Now I “get” that desire, but that definition also creates a series of issues that generally makes financial freedom impossible for those that hold that definition. The truth is that worry and stress about money often has little or nothing to do with our income, net worth, recurring income or bank balance. It is more about us, our beliefs about money and how we bring ourselves to our financial world.
A Measurable Definition of Financial Freedom
Financial freedom is when our passive or recurring income is greater than our expenses. It is at that moment that we have the REAL choice when we get up in the morning of “What do I want to do today?”
This definition taken from Robert Kiyosaki author of Rich Dad Poor Dad is not that sexy, it does not address the feelings or emotions of financial freedom, but it does give us a very operational, and measurable definition that is objective and above all attainable for ALL of us.
Of course there are issues to overcome to become financially free, but at its core there are really only 3 fundamental steps they are as follows:
- Commit to FINANCIAL FREEDOM!
- Educate yourself
- Consciously choose your lifestyle/expenses!
- Become a conscious consumer
2. Develop passive/residual/recurring income, ideally from multiple streams!
- Become a creator of value (get on the right side of the cash register)
3. Consciously scale your freedom!
- This means that you scale your lifestyle AFTER you increase your passive recurring income. Because attaining financial freedom is often easier than maintaining it…a bit like a reaching your goal weight in a weight loss program.
We at Personal Best have deemed March to be Financial Freedom month, and as such we have created a ton of events to support you to claim your financial freedom.
One of the coolest is “Vision to Wealth” coming up March 15th at Cardel Theater in Calgary. We are bringing Venture capitalist, business coach and trainer Bill Walsh from Chicago. If you are building a business, if you are committed to being financially free then you must attend.
Visit here more about Bill and his company Powerteam International
Call or email the office 403-269-2378 to reserve your seat in this outstanding FREE event.
I will be writing more about the 3 steps all month long, I welcome your comments and feedback. I am passionate about this topic and believe that we all deserve to be financially free and that we can create it.
