Vegas trip and then camping in Salt Lake City, Utah

I was in Las Vegas for a week at the Infestfest 2010. It was a four day event with about 24 speakers, some good,some bad and one or two excellent speakers. Garrett Gunderson was the most powerful speaker. If you have not read his book " Killing Sacred Cows " and have your money in a 401K plan than you had better read it quick. You neeed to take stewardship over your money and your life. Stop living by default and make things happen in your life by living in your soul purpose. The resort was 1st class. The Green Valley Resort in Henderson. About 6 mi from the strip. Mike Johnson from Wisconsin met me there and we had a great time. But, alas, a week in sin city is always to long. The crap table was not very lucky this trip. I was home for about a week and I went to Salt Lake City with Jane. We did a 1 1/2 day workshop with Garrett Gunderson and then a group of 27 of us went backpacking and camping in the mountains at about 8000 ft. It was a challenge climbing at that altitude but everyone made it up. It was an amazing experience. We saw deer everyday. The chef prepared a vegan diet for us and our meals were carried up to the campsite by Garrett and his coaches everyday. What a work out they got. The nights got down into the high 30's and it wqs tough sleeping the first night. Everyone gathered around the campfire every morning to shake off the chill. It was a very inspiring group of people that we hung with in the mountains. Our lives grow tremendously every time we get with a group of that caliber. Hats off to Garrett and his crew. He always under promises and over delivers. This program has dramatically changed our lives and the way we see our soul purpose mission here in this world. We are off on Friday to Cape Cod for a week with the family . So until then . peace Don

Life Transformation

Hello all, what I'm about to share with you today is the journey that Jane and I have taken so far to transform our lives. In 1997 I was introduced to Joe Polish , the owner and creator of Piranha Marketing. I was a struggling business owner who was looking for the magic solution to all my problems. I bought Joe's boot camp in a box and went through it and then set it on a shelf. It sat there for about another six months before I was desperate enough to actually implement some of the marketing strategies that Joe had reccommended. Low and behold I started making money with these ideas and a great ROI as well. We continued using the strategies for the next couple of years and we saw our income grow. In 2001 Jane said that we were going to Joe's boot camp in Phoenix and we were off. We became platinum members that year. Platinum is a select group of entrepenurs that want to be the best they can be and want to keep on learning and staying on the cutting edge. It was a sizable investment and it was still another two years before I finally left my ego at the door and decided to get with the program. It was the best decision I have ever made, with the exception of asking Jane to be my wife. The people that Joe has introduced us to have changed our lives forever. Joe is like a world class conducter who brings people together, this is his special talent. We were introduced to Robert Kyosagi who got us involved with real estate. To date we have acquired four homes and a beautiful piece of property that we will be building our summer home on. Our life transformation took a GIANT leap when we went to T. Harv Ecker's Enlightened Warrior Camp. Harv is the owner and mastermind behind Peak Potentials Inc. We first attended his Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar and that changed the way we viewed money in our lives. The Warrior camp was the most intense thing that I had ever gone through and it was truly tranformational. We met people there that will be friends for life. Later in the year , on a field trip to San Diego with the Platinum group we were introduced to a program that was created by John Butcher, the owner of the Precious Moment collectibles company. We signed up for the program called Lifebook and we attended it in Chicago. It to was a life transformational experience. The Warrior camp gave us the courage to do and tackle anything with no fear and the Lifebook gave us a blueprint for accomplishing things in our lives and really finding out what is truly important. The following summer we went to Peak Potentials Wizard camp. This was the feminine side of the Warrior camp. So now we have the balance in our lives. This was a very , very spiritual event and to this day I flashback and re-live things that we experienced in those very intense days of Wizard. Again we reconnected with friends from Warrior and made new friends as well. Two of them that are going to St. Martin with us in April. Jane and I are off to Bali on Friday to spend time with John and Missy Butcher and three other couples. This would not have been possible without Joe's introduction. Joe also introduced us to Garrett Gunderson , the author of "Killing Sacred Cows and The Jackrabbit Factor and Portal to Genius. Garrett runs a program called Freedom Fast Track which we are currently involved with. This program gives you all the tools we will ever need for understanding our finances and our soul purpose. Once you are aligned with your soul purpose life is fun and magical. You can't wait to get out of bed every day to stay involved . We have truly been blessed and are able to manifest what we want. We continue to invest in ourselves and will always be part of Joe Polish's program no matter where we are in our lives. I will give you an update on our Bali trip next month. I hope you have found this post informative and enlightening. Until next time . Peace Don

Phoenix and then Salt Lake

Hello everyone, Jane and I spent last week in Phoenix with our mastermind group from Piranha Marketing. The first day was a brainstorming session with the finalists from last years better your best competition. Every company got in the hot seat and told of a special challenge they were having with thier company. The rest of the group acted as marketing analysts and we critqued thier situations. It was very enlightening. A lot of great information was shared. This is the power of the group.The next three days were a fabulous learning experience. One of my favorite speakers was there. Sean Stephenson. He is such a great inspiration. Google Sean and watch some of his video on You Tube. It is mesmerizing. We flew to Salt Lake City on Sunday and spent two days with Garrett Gunderson and his staff. We actually stayed in his townhouse with his mother. What a first class lady she is. The two days we spent were part of our Freedom Fast Track program. We met with five proffessionals on Monday. It was a real eye opener. On Monday we spent half a day with Garrett and Dale Clarke. We believe we are now on the path to obtaining our soul purpose . There have been more opportunities that have opened up to us in the last year then ever be for. We will be going back in February for another visit. We are also goint to Bali for a week to spend time with Jon and Missy Butcher . They own Precious Moments collectables. Life is good. We could not do any of the things we do if it was'nt for the great staff we have running our business while we are away. Peace for now

crazy past two weeks

Hi all, The past two weeks have been unbeilavable. First I went to Michigan and spent a week with my old business partner Tony. This is a yearly event where we play golf in a nice resort area with 14 other guys and hit the casinos. I had my first hole in one at Moose Ridge golf course. 138 yd par three. My team won the scramble event and we split $1200. I also made about $400 at the casinos. I flew home on Monday and the next day Jane and I were off to Phoenix, Az. to the Rich Cleaner Conference and trade show. Every year Joe Polish who owns Piranha Marketing gives away a car to the company that betters it's best. This year our friends Rick and Sandy Raskob won and they won a new Land Rover. The car next year is a 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra! We are going to be competing like crazy to win next year. We were close this year as Jane won the essay contest and recieved a silver locket from Joe with his picture in it. I turn it around at night. LOL It was so cool to see how many people entered the contest this year. It is not about winning the car but if you complete the package you are a winner. Joe gave everyone 2 to 4 nights in a destination of thier choice. He always gives way more than he recieves. It has been an incredible association for Jane and I. We have met people that have totally changed our lives. This year we are working with Garrett Gunderson the author of Killing Sacred Cows. A must read if you have money in a 401K plan. While in Phoenix I played a round of golf with Dave Kieter and I shot a 78 in sandals and with rental clubs. It was the lowest round I have shot to date. It is so true that once you open your self to the universe that good things just seem to come your way. We also heard from Hugh Downs and Sean Stephenson both of whom are very inspirational speakers. If you don't believe me go to you tube and look up Sean Stephenson , he will absolutely blow you away. We have a lot of cool things planned for the near future , so stay tuned. Peace Don
