The Gift vs Personal Best Level One

I have just finished the last Personal Best Level One, I am both excited and nostalgic, for over 22 years we have delivered an amazing program and have supported 10 of thousands of people to take their next step.  The LAST course was a ton of fun, great people and a wonderful way to end a chapter in my life and business.

These days the question that I am asked most often is: “What is the difference between PB 1 and the new program The Gift?” Well I thought that the best way to describe it would be in a video.  The short version is that it is a pretty natural evolution of the program, it is more condensed, timely, aimed and integration and application and has fantastic depth and energy.

Check out the video and then the links below and you will get a great snapshot of the exciting new programs that are on the way!

A description for people who have been engaged in personal development in the past that I believe will speak to the core of your process.

Are You Ready to Create?

I was given as assignment from my coach to really target the people that I want in our new Creation Circles.  I started writing and with the help of the amazing Jessica Belbin this is what I came up with.

If you have EVER had a transformative experience please read this and comment if it resonates with you and your experience. Thanks in advance.
You have had a transformative experience in your life. In other words that: ‘life changing event’, a moment of Self-Realization, an “Ah-Ha moment”, the light bulb came on, Holy shit, breath stealing, Experience of Truth… moment.

Through this moment and afterwards you re-realized your Self Worth and as a result stopped reaching for the bag of Doritos (chips, cookies, ice cream, smokes, and / or glass of… watching late-night T.V. (porn on your lap top, shopping to fill the void, filling your day with ‘to do’s’, consistently satisfying everyone else first, Googling your life away) AND INSTEAD decided you were worth speaking your heart, being who you really are and doing the things in life YOU actually, truly WANTED to do.

After this moment, for at least a while and maybe still:

You dedicated yourself to growing…

You kept your momentum….

You achieved successes beyond what you ever thought possible…

You committed to your ongoing journey…

Yahoo! – (insert back flips here) – That f***ing rocks, and you deserve acknowledgement for that!

But then perhaps, and often enough, comes ‘The Gap’.

What is ‘The Gap’?
You know very well what the gap is. You wish you didn’t, but you do.

It’s the place of no longer playing the small game you used to play. But you sure as hell are not playing the game that is possible, you are not even close to living the life you can be, do and have. You know this because you saw it, you lived it for a while, then it fell away. But you can’t see a way to achieve the life you KNOW that you can have. This uncomfortable, frustrating, depressing, trapped, heavy, painful place has led to feelings of ‘blaming them’ or ‘blaming yourself’ or for a few- ‘no blame, but damn this is slow’…

The true crime with these perceptions is that they mortally wound your capacity to create. Choosing these perspectives breeds resistance and casts you in the darkness and stagnation of victimization. They are choices that lead to you selling yourself on some version of settling into your ‘life of less’. The Truth Hurts…

Are you still hurting?
Frustrated?
Or have you gone numb?

This is where most people stay stuck, between Self-blame victim:
“What’s wrong with me?” or “I suck because everyone else seems to get what they want but I can’t.” and External blame victim: “That organization, course, facilitator, book, info product, etc. took advantage of me and sold me something that doesn’t work in the real world.” or “I’ve tried my best with it. It just doesn’t work.” But lets make no mistake about it, both positions are victim.

A lucky few actually get to a spot of personal accountability, they get to live their dreams, lose weight, start families, run a successful business…

But often, even there, it feels like its going at a snails pace. It takes some time for our reality to catch up with our glimpse of our transformed self.

So we know you. We see you. Our heart goes out to you. That glimpse you had can be real… You just need a different approach! Transformation is not a program, it is not a course, it is not your 6 month series with your personal coach, it’s not your audios on your ipod and it is not all of your shelf help books.

At the Creators Code we know it does not really matter what course(s) you have taken, what journey to Machu Picchu, Nepal, etc. you have done, what guru you have touched, etc. Because..

We know that these are all just different paths to the same destination, which is acknowledging that:

You are a creator. You are a divine reflection of God. A spark of spirit. A part of the Universe. You have the capacity to create and sustain that transformation for yourself, you family, your community and yes, ultimately the world.

You are here for a reason. There is something within you that you are called to create and it’s long past due.

Your tribe is calling, are you coming?

If you are in ‘The Gap’, you are there simply because the elements for guaranteeing success are not in your life and you probably did not know what they were.

Real transformation takes 3 things in addition to your transformative experience(s) – The elements are stunningly simple but incredibly elusive: The three R’s Relate, Reframe, repeat.

Reframe your way of thinking: In case you haven’t noticed this is impossible to do while you are stuck in your own gap. It’s like being trapped in a box and the instructions for how to get out are on the outside, someone has to come along and read them to you and help you get out.

Relate: When in the gap, we attract people that reinforce our current experience and those beliefs that we have had since we were 3 years old (and again in case you haven’t noticed, that is not helping). What is required to sustain change is surrounding yourself with people who get and believe in your vision in yourself and your life. People who have walked the path and done it before you and people who look to you for inspiration and whom you step up to support. That is the way.

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!. Neuro-Science says it takes hearing something 7 times before the neural network can even hold the idea or the possibility. But that is probably 100,000 times less than what is necessary to translate that idea into a real, tangible, sustained experience or result in your life. How many times have the messages of ‘small you’ been repeated? One of the single largest benefits of your Creation Circle is they will repeat to you over and over ‘You can’, ‘You deserve this’, ‘Its time you came here to create this’, and perhaps most importantly going back to relate ‘We’ll help!

All of these elements are what you will find in your Creation Circle!

There is no end point. There is no ‘straight line’ that anyone stays on. The truth is… the more growth, ‘ah-has’ and ‘Holy shit’ moments on the journey – the better.

Live a life of continuous purpose, clarity and contribution.

But;

Perhaps your pride says it’s impossible. Your experience says it’s risky. Your intellect says it’s pointless. But your heart says give it a try. Participating in a Creation Circle amplifies the Whisper of your Heart.
Step into (again) the magic and flow of creation! You know that within you there is SOMETHING that YOU MUST CREATE. You know with cellular certainty there is something within you that given the right environment, the correct support, the appropriate space YOU WILL MANIFEST YOUR HEARTS DESIRES:

Why Now?

• Really? Have you looked around the world lately?
• Better yet…

• Pause…
• Wait…
• Breathe…

Listen to the Whisper of your Heart …

Brief Update on Life & 17 Reasons…

You KNOW You Want To!

Only 2 months left in 2011, and I must say that they are an incredibly exciting things coming down the pipe that I am thrilled to share with you. Some highlights are:

Cory and I are facilitating the Couples Weekends again! After 5 plus years of requests we can finally say YES!! We are doing a Mastery evening called “The Power Between” on Monday November 7th, free for Inner Circle members and their partners. $40 per couple for non members.

I am delivering the new format of Personal Best Level One called “The Gift” for a small group of past Level One grads December 9 – 11. Register here if you want one of the few seats left.

The first Creation Circle Leaders Training starts this weekend, YAHOOOOOO!!! this is huge and if you are interested in real world results, bending time and creating in 3 or 6 months what may have taken a year or more, check out this page and submit your application. I have been working on this for over 6 months, we have attracted an outstanding launch group of Creation Circle leaders…you will be blown away!

NOTE: If you are interested in becoming a Creation Circle Leader please do 3 things 1) Email me to get on the invite list 2) Set aside these dates March 29th  – April 4th 2012 3) If you have not already begin to consciously define, attract and connect with your UNIQUE tribe.  You take care of those three things and we will provide the model, the tools and the structure to contribute your unique gift AND earn fantastic $$!

In the midst of all this we are preparing for the complete relaunch of our new programs, brand and structure for January 2012.

Out of all of this what I am MOST excited about is the ability to offer an experience that is truly the first of its kind (I will wager that there will be many more like it in the next 3 to 5 years). The Creator’s Code is less of a program and more of a global movement. A movement of conscious creators who are committed to “Being The Change” that the world needs, Creating more than we consume and leading in a powerful visible manner among many other things.

If you are interested in powerful personal and professional development, deep level mastermind, and participating in conscious community, then claim your space as a creator and join a Creation Circle Today. NOTE: We are in the beta test mode and there are only a small handful of spots in select groups. You must apply to be sure you are a fit with the Creation Circle Leader and the other participants. The non refundable application is $97 and is in NO WAY a guarantee that you will be accepted as a member. Find out more by emailing Lance.

We have confirmed dates for Grande Prairie for 2012 this totally rocks!  In fact I will be in GP this week Nov 2nd at Skyloft Integrated Wellness Introductory Presentation 6:00 pm – 7:30 PM Mastery evening 7:30 – 10:30 PM. Email to register.

Speaking of 2012 we have all the Canadian program dates set so if you have not gotten those weekends booked check out the schedule and get it DONE!

Looking WAAAAY forward to October 2012 we are very proud (and Rae Ann is completely nutty excited) to bring best selling Hay House author Greg Braden to Edmonton, it is going to be an amazing event, check out his books and be sure to get one of the early bird super discounted VIP tickets so you can meet this amazing man yourself.

Well there is more, much more actually however that is coming soon, but I must get back to the finalizing the Creation Circle Leaders training for this weekend.  I will leave you with the early writing of the brilliant JBel who is massaging copy for the new Creation Circle website.

The site will be edgy, a bit tongue in cheek, and will pull no punches when it comes to supporting you to create what is most important to you!

Enjoy…as always open to thoughts and feedback.

17 Reasons you need to be part of a Creation Circle

1) Bend Time and create your dreams faster.

E=mc2, Einstein was right, you can bend time, seriously, look it up.

2) You are a leader.

Yes you are, c’mon now, you are.

3) Your own team of cheerleaders, SIS, BOOM, BAH!

With or without the high kicks and pom-poms, these people love to support you and cheer you on.

4) The Juice.

Being a creator, contributing to the world and celebrating profit captivate you. Making your dreams a reality and giving your unique gifts is really the sweet stuff of life!

5) Transformation is cool.

They have entire robot movies about it. But you want your transformation to be more than meets the eye, a consciously directed shift. Wow, imagine how that will feel.

6) Buying it or making it.

You have chosen to consume less and now you are ready to create. Shopaholic is no longer who you are or what you do.

7) Tap into the Mindbank.

What’s the Mindbank? It’s the space of all knowing and you can utilize it. Ok, sounds kind of out there, but it’s real and it’s neato.

8) Learn to fish.

By learning how to create what you want in life and maintain it, you won’t be stuck wondering how to do it or who will do it for you; you’ll already be reaping the rewards.

9) A Global tribe

You know that you belong to a community that extends beyond the borders of your country. You can still cheer for your country at the Olympics though.

10) You get busy and you get off track.

Meet your kick in the pants.

11) Mastery, Mission and Money, Oh My!

Imagine knowing your purpose in life, creating the life you want using that purpose and making money in that process all the while the whole time. We don’t make this stuff up. You do.

12) Rubbing elbows.

You’ll get access to the top minds in personal development and business building on planet Earth. You might as well get the goods from the best.

13) A ring.

You get some bling with your commitment. It has magic powers and makes you a super hero! Actually, you already have that magic and power inside you, but a ring might help you remember that. And, it’s snazzy!

14) Celebrate the process.

Each month you can meet other conscious creators and hear amazing speakers who are all about inspiring, teaching, learning and growing. It’ll be one hell of a party. Every month. ‘Cause life, it’s fun!

15) Commitment, participation, support.

Sounds like a great marriage. You bet your ass it is! Creation Circles are made up of people wholeheartedly committed to making change within themselves, the world and supporting others doing the same.

16) Give birth.

In Italian, give birth is Dare alla luce, which literally means to give to the light. Gives whole new meaning and power to creating your ideas and projects for the world now doesn’t it.

17) INSTANT MANIFESTATION.

Enough said.

 

Are YOU Tired of KNOWING But Not DOING?

Are you Tired of KNOWING but not DOING?

I know, I know this can be a touchy subject, it is touchy because of the truth of the statement. We ALL have knowledge that we are not applying and integrating into our lives. Welcome to the human race : )

I want to share a statement that an old friend and business partner once said to me that I was not to thrilled to hear at the time. “To know and not to do, is not quite yet to know” it may not be grammatically correct (english was his second language) however precisely how he said it struck a deep resonant chord with me.

This phrase has always surfaced for me when my brain want to quickly say “I know that!” and is quickly followed with if that is true am I living my life in alignment with the concept or tool? If not, I clearly do not know it. If I AM applying the concept or tool then ask the follow up question, “What is the next step of application and integration of this in my life”

Clearly this is often much easier said than done, but here is a tool that can help.

Based on results.

If we are willing to step outside of our intellectual knowledge and awareness, and simply HONESTLY look at the REAL RESULTS in our life right this second, it will tell you with 100% accuracy and clarity what you actually KNOW.

I realize that this is not always fun, it is not always uplifting, but is is always accurate and always honest, more importantly it gives you a real place to start to create the results you desire and deserve in your life.

Launching the New…Letting Go of The Old

 

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” – Lao Tzu

As summer comes to an end and I feel the energy shifting to “ok, lets get back at it” here in the office and with clients from all over I am feeling very excited, things are changing, at times it feels slowly and at times too fast…like there is not enough time to get everything done.

So I thought I would share with you some of the highlights of what I am most exited about in my life and business:

  • Instigating a global movement of Conscious Creators called “The Creator’s Code”
  • On Septenber 9 – 11 I am delivering the first “Gift” program in the US.  Bill Walsh and Powerteam International are hosting the program in Chicago (BIG Thank you Bill, I really appreciate it!)  This is a milestone for me, Personal Best and our new brand The Creator’s Code.
  • The Gift is a brand new 3 day program using some of the core Personal Best Concepts and many new approaches, concepts and modalities will help you to become a “Conscious Creator” by mastering the direction of your energy and emotions, committing to a mission larger than self, and mastering money once and for all.
  • The launch of the our new transformational application and integration program “Creation Circles”
  • Training a group of talented and amazing people to be Creation Circle Leaders (If you are a coach/facilitator and are interested in beta testing with us come find out more on Sept 20th in Calgary)
  • Working with amazing Joint Venture Partners like Jo-Anne Vacing of the eWomen network, I will be providing FREE one on one coaching at their Meet You in The Mountains event Sept 30 – Oct 2.  With my regular rate of $500 an hour, some time with me could pay for your entire registration cost! If you are an entrepreneur in Alberta check out the event!
  • We have booked Hay House best selling author Greg Braden for a speaking event in 2012 which will be fantastic! If you are a fan be sure to pre purchase VIP tickets ASAP
  • The launch of my new book and at home study program “The Creator’s Code”
  • Speaking on joint venture partners stages worldwide

What I am letting go of to make space for the new:

  • The Personal Best brand
  • Old methods of attracting clients
  • Being geographically rooted only in (Alberta/western Canada) including:
    • Clients
    • Staff
    • Business partners
    • Even living here in Canada full time, I am about done with long winters ; )
  • The idea that “in person is best”
  • Old methods of filtering and training facilitators
  • Support structures that do not fulfill core needs
  • Anything “Low Level”
    • Drama
    • Mechanics
    • Relationships
    • Time wasters (TV/Facebook/surfing)
    • Marketing

All of this and more is in process, on the way and will be the way of my world in 2012. If creating your world in a more conscious and deliberate manner is of interest to you then give us a call and find out how you can participate and benefit by living The Creator’s Code”

I look forward to being of service and co creating something AMAZING!
