It’s been a wild last month, that’s all I can say.
Went to the Philippines and was able to accomplish alot- was able to do my first seminar there, be a guest on 2 radio shows, be featured on national TV (watch the news clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXAHKkctz3I)
and meet celebrities and the President (and figured out the EXACT action steps I need to take to move there next May). Came home early November and was able to meet “Dubya” 2 days later… that’s 2 Presidents in two weeks! (wink)
Whew… it’s taken me a couple weeks to settle back into a normal routine and restore my strength. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I also got to do the Tininkling dance (the most well-known native Filipino dance) in our next to last night while in the Philippines. Very fun and a good workout too! (can you see me sweating in the pic?)
I’ve also been in the process of better training my staff and hiring 2-3 new salespeople. I must admit that’s been the most frustrating part of growing my business the last 6 months- finding decent sales staff. They say you’re growing whenever you feel uncomfortable… learning to hire good staff has been uncomfortable, so I guess that means I’m growing and learning!
Make it your goal to push yourself to do something that makes you uncomfortable at least every 2 month if you want MASSIVE results in your life.
It’s also Thanksgiving season… I am thankful for all the doors that have opened for me in the past year as I’ve pursued my passions, and I’m also thankful for all the trials and difficulties I’ve gone through. I’m thankful for my wife and kids who motivate me to be better, and I’m thankful for my clients I’ve been able to help. I’m also thankful for you this Thanksgiving as well!
Well, I’ll leave you with a quick Christmas pointer- if you can’t dip into your “house ATM” this Christmas because the equity’s all gone, think about giving a thoughtful gift to your loved ones this year that represents how you appreciate them. Appreciation doesn’t have to equal big dollar items.
As an example, my dad got me a $10 tie rope last Christmas and I thought of him all through the year as I wore it to keep my tie from swinging around. (BTW, Dad, I lost it so please get me a new one!)
That’s it for now. God bless and live prosperously this Holiday Season.
