A Business and Motivational Seminar

Finally we get there.

We have been working on developing our ideas and presentations. We practiced, got feedback, fine tuned, and practiced some more. We have been working at it for almost two months now.

Tomorrow morning we will be putting on our first show.

It is yet another practice session. But this time we will be doing it as if we were doing it in front of a paying audience. It's an ALL DAY event, in Spring Texas, just north of Houston. We will have audience members other than just us speakers, and they will be giving us THEIR feedback. We will take that, fine tune our presentations and do it again next Saturday at Woodlands Texas.

I am confident that ALL our speakers will do great. As the organizer and Director of the Claim Your Freedom Seminar, I have the toughest of all the job. I have to choose which 8 - 12 speakers will be representing us in Oct/Nov when we roll out our Business and Motivational Seminars for Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners. We have a talented pool of more than 20 Speakers that are more dynamic and more effective than some of the Paid Speakers I have seen and these people are giving their 110% because they are excited about being on stage and following their passion. They are thrilled at the idea that they will be getting paid for doing that as well.

Don't get me wrong. We have speakers in our group that have traveled internationally delivering speeches and conducting training seminars for major corporations and International Professional Associations. These are not rookies by any stretch of the imagination. They are just "breaking" in to the field of Professional Speaking.

If you know someone who lives in Houston, TX area, tell them to be at the Barbara Bush Library in Spring on the 18th and at the Woodlands Library on the 25th. They will be in for a treat of a lifetime.

As for me, I am excited beyond belief and I don't even get to be on the stage. It is not that I don't want to be there, it is just I am not among the top 12 people, and with all the work involved in putting the Seminars together, I wasn't able to devote the kind of time I need to put in to be able to have a professional quality presentation. Besides, I realized that my passion is in bringing new, exciting and challenging events into fruition. I get thrilled doing things people say can't be done. All along my Business Career I have taken challenging assignments and succeeded, and once I'd done that, I was looking for the next challenge.

When we started the Claim your Freedom Seminars, the idea was just to help each other, a couple of friends of mine and myself. but when you are following your passion, things just take off and you are having so much fun you can't believe that it is possible to get paid for doing this. I have found that people who are really successful and wealthy, people like Warren Buffet, Sam Walton, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have always followed their passions and before they were considered geniuses, they were considered foolish dreamers.

I am a Dreamer who loves to chase his dreams, and I've found that in doing so, you find a whole lot of others who are also dreamers, but are afraid of following their dreams, let alone chasing them. It is they who provide me excitement, for they are looking for someone who can just say to them, it is OK to follow your dreams. Here let me show you how you could do that and be able to live a life of fulfillment. I know it seems scary at times, but it is like riding a roller coaster, or jumping off the high dive into a swimming pool. Fear and excitement are just two sides of the same coin, and that is why they feel the same. What you're feeling is not fear, it is excitement.

I am excited! Can you tell?

Something to think about

How often in your life have you had moments when things happened that you couldn't quite explain. You sit there in amazement wondering how in the world did all the things that had to happen for you to end up where you ended up to see the results that you had only "dreamed" about to see someday when you thought about what you wanted.

I have had many such incidents happen in my life to ignore the fact that there is an intelligence beyond our comprehension directing events in such a manner that things we had thought about as impossible to pull together are pulled together effortlessly. I am in the process of writing a book that I had thought about writing a couple of years ago. I had the central idea or the theme for the book. When I sat down to start writing, I had no idea where to begin or how to put the thoughts in an organized manner so it could be useful to the end user.

I read books, I have taken classes in the past on writing, both fiction and non-fiction, and yet I couldn't get started. I even had people willing to market the end product for me and had started hinting to their lists what was coming. The book never got beyond an idea. The idea kept nagging at me from time to time and I would play the scenario in my mind of having it completed and being sold by my friends and associates via viral marketing techniques. Yet, the book remained only in my imagination as a raw idea.

Recently, I talked to a friend about helping me write it. She jumped at the idea. We planned to meet to discuss what I had in mind. She helped me with preparing the outline, and we talked about making this a joint project so she can be a co-author rather than a ghost writer. A week went by and we didn't get beyond the outline. This morning I sat down to do some writing and as I started "writing" my thoughts, it occurred to me that this project is in reality two dreams manifesting themselves, mine and hers. Add to that the circumstances under which we met, and I started getting goosebumps. WOW! All the things that had to have happened for us to work together on this project which is culminating into something neither of us had imagined as the end result, and yet it is fulfillment of both of our individual dreams that are totally unrelated in nature and scope.

Is It Worth It?

Do you “value” your prosperity?

Let’s face it. We will only devote our time, efforts and resources to the acquisition of things that are important to us, things that we really value. This is especially true when we feel that money is tight. And therein lays the catch 22.

I have found that some people will go to extremes to acquire motivational books and tapes and attend seminars, live and via telephone, as long as it is free, but will balk at spending a few dollars to get the same things. These same people will go from one book to the next, one seminar to the next, one teacher to the next, as long as they are offering something for free, and wonder why they are not becoming prosperous or worse yet, blame everyone else and the whole concept of prosperity consciousness for their failure.

What they don’t realize is that they are sending a strong message to their sub-conscious mind that being prosperous is not really something they VALUE. They do this by their refusal to invest in their own prosperity. They use excuses such as, “if I had the money, I wouldn’t need prosperity training would I?” to justify their action.

You see, people spend money in the acquisition of things that they value, and by not spending their money on their own prosperity these people are making a statement, a crystal clear and bold statement, that acquiring a prosperous lifestyle is NOT something that they value enough to part with their valuable resources.

Why is that?

Think about it.
