Back from Palm Springs and LA

Hello everyone, Jane and I are now home from two amazing weeks away. Actually, we were gone for 6 days, flew home for one so that Jane could speak at the VSBR meeting and then flew back to LA for four days. The Masters of Influence event put on by Peak Potentials was a very informative time. We met some old friends and learned a lot of things that we could implement right away into our businesses. One speaker who had the greatest influence on me was a man by the name of Kevin Hogan. He is a master of reading people and persuasion techniques. I was so enthralled by his presentation that I purchased his program and have been listening to the cd's since they arrived. I believe it will have a great impact on how I interact with people. Another speaker was Greg Montana. He had made millions then gave it all away to study with the monks for about 8 years. He has sinced made millions more and is a very dynamic speaker. He is changing lives. We flew home and Jane spoke to a group of business owners from the Vermont Business for Social Responsibility's annual conference. Her passion is the Dream Manager program that she has started in our company and another company in town. She wants to take this program nationwide and believe me, she will. Then it was on to LA where we stayed at the Standard Hotel. Everything in this hotel has a sexual overtone. The bedrooms had retro furniture from the sixties with platform beds that were 8 in off the floor. Lots of mirrors and wide open glass showers so your roommates could observe you. Pretty funky stuff. There was a bar on the roof which overlooked the city. Lots of craziness up on the roof. We spent two days in Joe Polish's 25 k mastermind group. There were about 50 very successful business owners in attendance. They pay Joe 25 thousand a year to meet three times to mastermind with each other. Many million dollar ideas were shared by the group. It was a very humbling experience to be included in that setting. Thanks Joe. We also had our photo taken with Sir Richard Branson who flew in for his Rock the Casbah fund raiser for Virgin Unite that took place that night. We connected with people like Joe Sugarman ,who is one of the all time best marketers ,best known for selling many millions of the Blu Blocker sunglasses. He gave everyone in attendance a pair. Tellman Knudson who is a millionaire internet guru, best known for his list building site Overcome Everything. He is a Vermont guy and we will go to dinner with him to share ideas on our foundation. Brendon Burchard author of Lifes Golden Ticket. A must read if you want to turn your life around. Dan Sullivan , he owns Strategic Coach . A very high powered program for entrepenurs. Manny Goldman who is a personal growth coach as well as a warrior and wizard. I share the last two titles with him and I easily was drawn to him. Warriors and wizards are in tune to the world as no others. It was a fabulous trip and we are truly blessed. We hung with some of our dear friends from Piranha Marketing. Well thats it for now. Peace and may God spare your life. Don

Cash Creation Conference Phoenix Az

Hello Everyone, Jane and I are back from Phoenix. We were at the annual Piranha marketing conference last week. It was an incredible event. Every year Joe Polish and his team out does the previous one. We were able to spend some quality time with Lisa Wagner who is the CEO of Piranha as we drove to and fro to Sedona. Jane and I were finalists in Piranha's Better your Best contest which incidently was won by Steve Nash ,who is a remodeling contractor from New York. A brilliant guy who turned his business completely around this past year. Do you believe that there is a recession going on? Not our group. Well, Joe, in his truly giving way , has invited all the finalists to go to LA in November to participate in his 25K group. This is a group of high powered entrepenurs who spend 25K per year to mastermind with each other under Joe's tutelage. We will have an opportunity to meet Sir Richard Branson, Paula Abdul, and many brilliant people from the business world. Thank you Joe. We learned many cutting edge marketing stratagies this year that will enable us to increase our business substantially. Next week Jane and I are off to Palm Springs where we will be attending the Master of Influence program that is put on by T.Harv Ecker and Peak Potentials. We will come home for two days because Jane is speaking at the annual meeting for the VSBR group. Vermont Business for Social Responsibility. Then we go to La. Awesome. Thanksgiving week will be spent on the island of Veiques off the coast of Puerto Rico. We have friends building a home on the island and it is a beautiful place. If you see more than four people on a beach it is considered crowded. Looking forward to the sun as it snowed here in Vermont last night. Well that covers our recent travels and activities. Until we meet again. May God spare your life. Peace Don
