I think that Tony Robbins does a much better job of explaining this in the video, so take a look and watch out for a Nobel Peace Prize winner in the audience who gets Tony’s attention.

Okay… I have made it back from the seminar and my feet have touched the ground again so let me tell you about the 4 Day Education for Life seminar with Jamie McIntyre.

We, that is my beautiful partner and I, registered on the Thursday evening prior, to escape the crazy crowds on Friday morning, and we are so glad we did as there were 700 attendees at this particular venue all ready for an extra-ordinary weekend. Having attended twice before, I was aware of what to expect. As for Chris, he had no idea of the impact it would make on his life.

Emotional Intelligence

Jamie spends the first day introducing us to Emotional Intelligence and how important it is to develop a certain mindset in order to be able to make important decisions relating to your finances and creating wealth. To master your finances, you must first master your emotions, therefore, developing a sense of awareness of our surroundings and ourselves is the first step.

I think we all know this and somehow, there are still some of us out there who find it a challenge even to make a decision at times, let alone how we are to spend our money or what kind of investments we should make. Let me ask you this. Do you think that a millionaire would think differently to someone who relies on a pension perhaps? Of course they would. Now the reason I am using this extreme example is simply to make a distinction. The millionaires perception of an opportunity would possibly never occur to a pensioner, so that is why re-wiring the subconscious mind and developing the mindset of a millionaire plays such a big role towards your success with the following strategies. The academy graduates who have done this have gone on to create a life that they love.

“Apart from me? Ok… I just retired my Sister, pulled my Mum off the pension and retired two of my closest friends. I have a cousin who is supplying his own funding for UNI instead of relying on Austudy. I have 3 other cousins who are on the verge of leaving their jobs and know personally of at least 5 or 6 other grads who have left their jobs by replacing their income by other means. Every single one of them feels totally elated and are in a state of disbelief that it has actually happened to them so very quickly. It’s a good feeling knowing that I have changed so many lives. I also appreciate your comments and am glad that my personal goals and successes have inspired you and others.”



Internet Marketing, Property Investing, Stock Market and Business

Creating a synergy of these four strategies is the way Jamie was able to get himself out of debt and become a multi-millionaire while still in his early twenties. Coupled with the mindset, he has done extremely well for himself and having Anthony Robbins as one of his mentors has only accelerated his growth.

Now Jamie wants to help others in finding their way to creating wealth for themselves so he has partnered with some awesome speakers who have also produced results to give us their secrets on how to go about it. They included:

Mark Rolton from Massland Property Options, Tony Christiansen – Motivational Speaker, Peter Bland the Ice Man and self-confessed thrillionaire, Angus Knight – Stock Broker, Daniel Kertcher – Stock Market, George Fokas – Sharelord, and Jennie Armato – Internet Marketing.

There were many more but I think you get the drift. Each of these speakers presented their strengths in their area of expertise and where they have been able to master and tweak a particular strategy to make it work for them and have gone on to create abundance in their lives and now in a position to teach others to do the same.

The weekend finished up with a Charity Gala Ball so that we could go on and celebrate the learnings from the seminar. We met some great people whom we will keep in touch with and it’s a great idea to help keep us and them accountable. New friendships being formed under those circumstances are a great asset towards our success.

Jamie’s ebook is available to everyone for downloading and I would love to meet up with you at one of Jamie’s future seminars. Now that would be fun! Let me know if any of you have come across any of these speakers before. Tony Christiansen is a native of New Zealand. He lost his legs when he was run over by a train at the age of 9 and had he went on to become a successful sign writer, pilot, life saver, and he has even climbed Mt Kilimanjaro! Lovely guy and a great sense of humour too. Well worth visiting his site when you get the chance.

Dedicated to Success

Since then, I have had a paradigm shift. I had a dream last night that I was bird hopping along the ground not being able to make out the tops of trees, but instead, all I could see was the grass stalks and some twigs and leaves. When I flew up into the sky I could then make everything out. I could see the trees in relation to the ground and the grass. I could even make out a valley and a body of water. Things seemed much clearer from up above. I noticed that the higher I flew, the more of the landscape I could see. Even the approaching clouds threatening a change in the weather.

Why am I telling you this. I am telling you this because from a distance, I could see the whole picture and not just what was down on the ground level. There are times when all you can see is what’s right in front of you. All the menial tasks that must be done on a daily basis. These tasks are just as important as the big ones. I have read that the art of successful living calls on the ability to pull back and see the big picture… take time out to re-focus.

There are some spiritual disciplines that favor retreats to be able to reconnect with your Higher Self or Spirit, whichever you would like to call it. This is also another form of nurturing your emotional intelligence. If you can take the time off and make it to such a retreat, fantastic! If you are limited with your time because maybe you work on your own or you have family commitments that you cannot pull away from at the drop of a hat, there are other ways of re-connecting and grounding yourself.

Here is a list that may give you some ideas:

1. Take one day off and make it a vision quest where you carry one question in your mind – What do I do next? Let it simmer while you walk, meditate, swim or just stare into space!
2. Take one hour to sit in amongst nature – be it a park, the beach, or even your backyard – and just shut everything out. Don’t think about a thing.
3. Go and have a full body massage and DO NOT talk through the process. I say this because when I worked in the beauty industry and clients would come in for a massage, there were ones who tended to talk throughout the whole hour. Not very relaxing and they missed the point of having the massage… although, some would come just to vent their troubles.
4. Run yourself a nice, deep bubble bath and burn essential oils with candles around the bathroom. The citrus oils are uplifting while peppermint and rosemary are invigorating.

Pulling back and regaining your focus is a must to be able to function at your highest potential. If while you are working and you seem to be procrastinating, notice this and ask yourself this question: What can I do in the next 20 minutes that will take me in the direction I want to go. It could be writing a letter, making a phone-call, paying a bill, joining a gym or even enlisting the help of a coach. It will different for each of you depending on what your goals are. Think of it as writing an outline of a novel and not the whole book.

These are some guidelines to consider.

• Think big.
• Think small.
• Learn to go back and forth easily between your points of focus.
• If you dream too much, you may get lost in unproductive tasks.
• If you are run off your feet with details and other’s demands, you are in danger of losing focus on the big picture.

My goal is to follow and stick to these guidelines so that I may become someone whose bigger dreams drive and inspire others. Let me know how I am doing from time to time.

Change Your Thoughts and You Can Change the World

I would like to leave you with this video that shows how your thoughts can change your focus and in turn, change the world as you see it. Enjoy!

Here’s a short summary of that post:

• The only person that suffers from NOT forgiving the wrong-doer or forgiving yourself, is YOU.
• The practice of forgiveness is a simple process which can be done on a daily basis (as long as you are willing to let go of the thing that holds you back.)
• Forgiveness is an integral part of your Personal Development as without it, you cannot learn and move on with mastering your Emotional Intelligence.

Forgive and Forget

An interesting thought that came up in the responses from my friend George, is that as a child, he always heard the saying as it goes…

Forgive, but don’t Forget. It has it’s sense. Sometimes forgive AND forget is also a good idea as you clear out lot’s of stuff.

However, I feel that sometimes NOT forgetting in certain cases is a wise decision just so you don’t get caught a second or even a tenth time by the same story. Sort of like headlights that help you avoid big rocks in the road.

This is interesting because more often than not, we make up our own story about how someone treated us. Something I learned at the Landmark Forum is that we tend to, as humans do, drag the past around with us. Just imagine carrying around a suitcase everywhere we went.

I take George’s comment this way. By practicing forgiveness, it will certainly make you a stronger person. By not forgetting and using it as a warning to not get caught up again in that kind of a circumstance, it is useful. It reminds us NOT TO GO THERE AGAIN.

So to forgive and forget can give us freedom to go on and live a happy and fulfilling life. Create your day with your intentions clearly embedded in your mind before you even get out of bed. Practice forgiveness a little each day… the process gets easier the more you do and remember that attitude of gratitude leads to a life of abundance.
