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

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

back home

Hi everyone, We had a great Piranha marketing meeting in Phoenix. The one most important thing I got out of this past few days was the thought to do first things first and second things not at all. When you focus on the #1 thing and do it ,it opens a lot more opportunity to achieve other goals. Get those important things done first and then move on, you will be a hell of a lot more productive. The weather in Phoenix was like a beautiful fall day in New England. The people were great and the Embassy Suite hotel is always a great place to stay. Open bar for two hours every night and a great breakfast for free in the morning. On Rural Rd in Mesa. The home in Vermont is nasty and cold. Supposed to be all week. Good for business. We are home now until we go back to Arizona and then on to St. Martin in April. I would like to sneak out of here and fish Lake Salto in Mexico in March. Only time will tell. Well off to bed , just getting over the time difference. Peace Catmandon

arrived in phoenix

Hello all, we got here without any problems. That is what you can only hope for when you are flying.We flew on Delta and it was a good experience. Normally we fly US Air.The weather at home is still nasty. We recieved a foot of fresh snow in the last 24 hrs and it is playing havoc with my crew. My neighbor came down and plowed out my driveway. Meetings start this am ,can't wait. Talked with a lot of very upbeat and successful entrepenurs yesterday. It is always an very positive thing. You wouldn't know that there is a recession, none of us believe it. People have not to believe all the negative hype and continue to do the things that consistently make them money. So many people quit doing the things that got them where they are and cut back and live in fear. To that I say bull hockey. Our business is stronger now than it has ever been. That is all for now. Peace from Phoenix. Catmandon

going to phoenix

Hi all, Jane and I are off to arizona on thurs am. Going to our platinum plus meeting. We will stay a couple of days extra and visit Jane's brother and wife. It will be nice to get away from the cold for at least a little while. We have more nasty weather coming tonight. Freezing rain ,sleet and snow. Hope we don't lose power in our home while we are away. Vermont has been declared a disater area after the last ice storm. The insurance companies have sent there national catastropic teams of adjusters here, from as far away as Mississippi. I think the southern boys are having a tough time dealing with the cold and driving conditions. Thats it for now, off to bed . Busy day again tommorrow. Peace Catmandon
