He said he just returned from South Africa ... was doing a free version for them.
Urged to do this by Richard Branson. pic of him with Branson on an island.
 
He had us greet our neighbors.
 
His posture: CHEST OUT, standing tall, strutting around ... looked like a commander ... in charge. YES!!!!
 
ENGAGEMENT, TRANSFORMATION

Where are you on the zero to 10 scale??? Channel your energy.
PUSH BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE!!!
 
Surround yourself with people who will hold you to a high standard.
 
He recounted the tail of the red light on his dashboard? Caused him to worry needlessly.
 
HIS BIO: he started at age 10 reading a book on improving his memory.
He was doing martial arts in HS. His real dad was a real estate developer (never made more than 100k per year)
His step dad was really into personal development courses.
 
It appears that he skipped college. Worked at Club Med for 6 years and worked his way up the hierarchy.
He worked all over the world.

He had read (by his twenties) hundreds of personal develop. books. He mentions Brian Tracy (self-help author; now in San Diego)

He likes pressure: pressure creates the diamond.
 
Early in his career he was riddled with doubt about money. You could either follow your dreams or sell out for money.
 
Look at your youth: you are largely imprinted by your parents.
You develop habits that are like finely grooved roads.
 
Later on he wanted to model the BEST OF THE BEST.
Richard Branson was one. He had a huge library of biographies.
 
Acceler. reading.
Cognitive reimprinting.
Billionaire Bootcamp. (if you don't want to make a billion you can always scale it back.)
 
You KNOW what to do; the trick is in APPLYING IT... execution.
 
Branson encouraged him to do his poverty eradication program now.
 
he did hypnosis and NLP and lots of other tools; He says a painters pallete has many difft paints. many tools.
 
Story: My uncle is Mr Akers... owned hundreds of acres of tobacco farms where we used to play.
The tobacco was covered with cobwebs from spiders that lived on them. The spiders attracted bats that
shat guano on the leaves. The guano attracted rats that would eat it and vomit.
Painted a very disgusting picture of tobacco leaves. Just wove this into his stream of words.
 
(very rapid talk; amazing energy; interrupts his talks with "are you with me" " give your neighbor a high five"
"a double high five" what did I say? TRANSFORMATION! what did I say again ... ENERGY)
Keep the energy flowing ... stay on track; keep people around to maintain the energy. Do not lose momentum.
 
This weekend seminar is like a refrigerator ... you only get out what you put in.
