The Winner’s Circle, Amazing Mastermind!

I am on the plane coming home from a week in Florida, It was a pretty amazing experience, I spoke at a Powerteam International event called Inspiration 2020.  It was my first platform presentation in the US.  I really enjoyed myself had a great experience and cannot wait to do it again.

We have booked another Personal Best Level One in Chicago and now the wheels must get moving to fill these programs.

In addition I was invited to participate in a high level mastermind called The Winners Circle held in a 38,000 sq ft mansion just outside of Tampa.  I had the honor and privilege of working with 10 other amazing and brilliant authors, speakers, entrepreneurs.

 

As most of you know t have spent the last couple of years travelling with my friend Colin doing similar mastermind groups with elite entrepreneurs.

 

I truly enjoyed my time in the Mansion and I thought I would share some of my take aways from my 2 days.

1)    The viral coefficient, this I believe is one of the most powerful tools for business growth under the sun.  Simply put it is the number of new customers/users that you get from each one of your customers/users. Anything over 1.2 will lead to viral growth so the question is how do you get your customers to refer you enough times that each client refers 1.5 new clients?  If you can accomplish the 1 simple task your business and offering will grow VIRAL.

2)    I am very grateful for the Canadian health care system, there was a couple there that is doing a huge fundraiser for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  The number of hero’s and victims that are still struggling with health complications and no support to speak of from the government it is frankly astounding to me.  I know our system is imperfect but it is leaps and bounds better than our American friends.

3)    I admire the creativity of marketing and promotions that these business leaders have used. Everything from internationally broadcast infomercials, best selling books, at home study programs, multi speaker events, high end coaching, masterminds, direct mail campaigns, national newspaper programs.  It is a great reminder that if you have a business marketing, marketing, marketing!!

4)    I got some great examples of platform speaking structure and formats, which I was quite blown away by how people can inspire action in such short periods of time.  There are some exceptionally talented people that I look forward to learning and working with many of them.

5)    Perhaps most significant for me is the realization that I am not in the process of scaling Personal Best to the US, I am in the process of instigating a global movement of Conscious Creators, of which the personal best content is only a small part.  I will create community online and off line, there will be games, apps and social Media integration.  I will spark creation circles that will build our community in excess of 50,000 members in 1 year, I will create a community that will attract the biggest speakers in the world who want access to our community and energy.  This community will support each other to their highest good and evolution.

My brain is very full at this moment, but above all I am inspired, motivated and clear about what I intend to create!

Synchronicity, Opportunity and Signs from Above

Clue From Above

It has been a long time since I have written and much has happened in the past month or so. I will do my best to outline a few of the highlights. First of all I had my first platform presentation in Orlando at Bill Walsh’s event Inspiration 2020 which I will speak at again in October in Las Vegas.  This was a great event and thanks to Bill for putting it on and having me there, I shared the stage with a bunch of fascinating people including John Asaraf from The Secret, Ted Thomas, Ron Legrand and  Marco Kozlowski a fascinating real estate expert who we are bringing to Alberta early August be sure you catch Marco at these Inner Circle Mastery Evenings.

For perspective when I got on the plane it was freezing in Calgary and it was BEAUTIFUL in Orlando! At this event I am in the conference from 9 am  – 10 pm each morning passing this beautiful pool and water slide each morning and I gaze longingly at the pool and I promised myself that I would  spend at least some time by the pool.  That said I was so fascinated by the people who were presenting I could not tear myself away from the event.

During this time  meet Roger Salam who runs The Winners Circle TWC and I connected and he was working me (I mean seriously working me, everywhere I turned there he was saying “are you coming to the mastermind?”  it was actually pretty funny) to stay in Florida longer and attend one of his masterminds.  I was totally interested and fascinated as Colin and I spent 2 years running similar groups together, but I was REALLY missing Cory and the kids, so I was torn.  Finally I decide that I will simply take a half hour by the pool, sit in the sun have a nice cold beer and consider what I should do.

So there I sit enjoying the sun my brain literally overflowing from the amazing content of a multitude of speakers, wondering if I should just get my but home or should I stay to experience this mastermind.  It is clear to me that the future of Personal Best is outside of Alberta/Western Canada…it is clear to me that I will take a completely different approach to building the organization than I did in the past, and it is clear to me that there are more opportunities than I would be able to pursue in 10 lifetimes.  As I have these realizations I look up into the sky and there is skywriter just finishing the word “TRUST”.  A huge smile crosses my face and I think what a perfect sign for me at this moment in time.  I go back to drinking my beer, I have a short visit with a couple of fellow attendees by the pool and am content to just “BE” for awhile.  I prepare to leave the pool and make my final decision about staying for the mastermind when I look to the sky and the plane is just finishing the letter “J”!!

The picture above is an untouched sign from above that said “J TRUST” the trust word is starting to get blown around but when it was originally finished is was as clear as the letter J.

Well clearly I listened to the sign and I stayed for The Winners Circle Mastermind which was outstanding and I met some fantastic people. I did tease Roger that hiring a skywriter is going a little far to acquire a new client, but I did appreciate the nudge. I will share my experience of the TWC mastermind in a future entry it too was full of fascinating synchronicity.

My questions for you are:

What are the signs around you that are nudging you?

Are you paying attention to the synchronicity of the universe?

What do the signs actually mean?

What must you take action on today?

Remember:

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller (1759 – 1805)

Until next time, Jay

 

Is Wayne Dyer Really a Sex Maniac?

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

PS: When I talk to him at the VIP session I am going to ask him for some sex tips, he has got to have some, look at that picture!

Joint Ventures Do’s & Don’ts

Bill Walsh and Jay Fiset @ Vision to Wealth Calgary

I have not posted for a while, and have been working on many things…primarily joint ventures which is the final chapter of my upcoming book Event Marketing Millionaire.

Last Tuesday I/Personal Best hosted Bill Walsh of Powerteam International, in Calgary and he did his Vision to Wealth presentation.  It was an outstanding evening on every count!  Thank you Bill and the Powerteam team, Thank you Lance, Jessica, Anne and Armando you all went above and beyond I greatly appreciate it.

There are a multitude of lessons from this event about Joint ventures that work and this event is a great example of what works.

I should come clean and let you know that I have done joint ventures in the past (mainly about 10 years ago) that did NOT work out so well… in fact I  developed a bad taste in my mouth and for the most part swore off or at least dismissed joint venture opportunities and choose to focus on my business, my clients and my content.

Let me say as clearly and plainly as possible, that was a mistake, not a small mistake…a monumental mistake.  One which has  cost me Millions of dollars quite likely tens of millions of dollars.  The truth is, I simply did not have the knowledge and skills to properly attract, target, negotiate and set up the RIGHT JV relationships.

This post is intended to a provide some bullet points of do’s and don’ts, I will expand on each of them in “Event  Marketing Millionaire”

So lets start with what works because that is what is fresh on my mind from our fantastic event on Tuesday night.

Do

1)   Start the relationship with “What can I do for YOU?” NOT here is what you can do for me.

2)   Partner with an individual/organization that has shared values.

3)   You must compliment each other

4)   There MUST be significant value in the relationship

5)   They MUST understand business honor and acknowledge the most difficult aspects lead generation and conversion

6)   They must want YOU to win

7)   Ideally it is set up as a long term relationship

8)   Perfect clarity of the financial arrangements

9)   Perfect clarity of the refund policy and the handling of the dissatisfied customers

10)                  JV UP in the area that you want to do more work in

11)                  Provide great resources and tools to make the JV as easy and enjoyable as possible

12)                  Reward and acknowledge partners in BIG and significant ways!

Don’t

1)   Participate in parasitic relationships, BOTH parties must see, feel and experience the win!

2)   JV with someone that you don’t like or believe in at your core, the money is not worth it and the customers will NOT share your values.  It is a PAIN!

3)   JV with people that have different standards of excellence and delivery.  Your customers who have become accustomed to your standard will be gravely disappointed in what they purchase from your JV partner

4)   Set yourself or your partners up with poor information or technology that does not work (landing pages, affiliate tracking systems etc)

5)   Start or view JV’s as a short term/one hit process.  It is too much work and risk in most instances to not view the process as a LONG TERM relationship

6)   Be seduced by a large list or number of clients, the real important thing is who have the most INFLUENCE with their list. List size and list influence are 2 very different things

There are many more points to this but this is a good start.  If you are interested in some great points a fantastic resource is Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula.  Jeff is a great guy, has a grounded approach and has done literally hundreds of millions of dollars of joint ventures.

Now I am off to find some more great joint venture partners!

Until next time, Jay


The Creators Code


An Early Rendering of The Creators Code Logo


I have been perking and making notes about a new book called The Creators Code.

Actually much more than a book, more of a movement.  A global movement of conscious creators.  I know, I know, a global movement sounds on one hand overwhelming and daunting and on the other hand almost cliche.  Yet for month and months I have been pulled to this.  So I thought that I would share some of my thoughts about The Code and ask for your feedback.

I am going to start with the book that I will write/video here on my blog in short segments and will ask for your feedback and suggestions along the way.

The fundamental concept is very simple, we can divide people into 2 basic categories; Creators and Consumers.  Now clearly we are ALL both, BUT in the big picture of our lives where do we “net out” ? On any given day, week, month, quarter, year as individuals do we actually consume more or create more?

Make no mistake this is difficult to measure and perhaps we will never have an ideal way to measure, but the question is powerful, if you let it sink in for a minute…it is a biggie.

In your relationships, work, family home, do you create more or consume more?

In your business in terms of value do you create or consume more?

In all aspects of your life do you create or consume more?

The answers to these questions tell us a tremendous amount about ourselves, our lives, our communities and ultimately the long term sustainability of everything we touch.  I know, I am getting a bit dramatic.

However I believe with every cell of my being that we as human beings are manifestation machines, we are creators, we create with every thought, every action, every interaction that we have with another human being.  If we can consciously direct that creation energy, we can dramatically improve our lives, our communities and our world.

Think of it from this perspective, facebook now has almost 600 Million users, the average user is logged into facebook for 2 hours a day (note that does not mean that they are using fb that entire time).  MOST of the people are consuming information about people they know, or would like to know. That is 1.2 billion hours a day globally that is primarily wasted away in unconscious consumption of primarily useless information.

I am aware that fb can be used for some amazing creation, I believe for example that in terms of fb hours I would “net out” at huge creation for my business and contribution to my clients lives.

But lets be clear is there probably a higher and better use of (lets round down) 1 billion man hours a day on planet earth and I believe that if each of us was clear about what it is that we wanted to create, and got our own personal stories and limitations out of the way it would be an amazing experience personally and quite literally globally.

Claiming the space of creator is the prerequisite of everything, designing your ideal business, financial freedom, loving relationships, mastering your weight and health, connecting with your family and loved ones.

So here is my first run at The Code itself, which will be the framework of the book.

The Creators Code

  1. I create more than I consume
  2. I am the source and cause of my experiences and results
  3. I am grateful for who I am and what I have. I know the experience of gratitude is the space of creation
  4. I understand my needs and get them met so I can create from a clean clear space
  5. I am an active learner and teacher, I pass on my knowledge
  6. I align my life and resources around my passion and gifts
  7. I have a spiritual pracitice
  8. I live a life of abundance and generosity
  9. I understand and support entrepreneurship either as one myself or I work for one I believe in
  10. I nurture and care for my body and health, I know it is one of my most powerful tools for creation.
  11. I support sustainability and vote consistently with all my resources
  12. I embrace personal accountability
  13. I believe in democracy and freedom for all, and participate locally and globally

That is where I am at with the code thus far, I welcome any of your feedback and ideas.

Standing in support of creators.
