I’d say we’re probably 80 percent full for all our classes, which puts us a month ahead of where we usually are. And we’re looking at being 110 or 120 percent of capacity when registrations end, so we’ve gone ahead and added classes and hired three new staff members.” (Blog.pennlive.com)
Tom and Kassandra just began a new, hope-filled, optimistic lifelong journey full of love and encouragement, smiles and kisses on Friday. (Not an ounce of doom and gloom to be seen.)
And dozens of entrepreneurs purchased private coaching, team coaching, blocks of coaching and even annual coaching programs this weekend—some investing nearly $13,495—to surround themselves with fellow dreamers, planners and doers for the rest of their lives, to ensure their tomorrow is brighter, fuller, livelier and more profitable than today.
A "retired" school teacher (she was forced to retire by the kind, loving, tolerant Orange County school district she selflessly served for 27 years) plunked down $13,495 for her daughter to get the best entrepreneurial coaching on the planet because she believed in her.
A single mom committed to a $149/mo coaching program to learn how to market her writings skills and services. She knew if she walked out of that 3-day conference without believing enough in herself that she would make that money back in spades, she wouldn't do anything once the Monday morning alarm clock clanged.
A newly-wed, aspiring vegan chef—who works crazy full time+ hours in another line of work (to hide from making time for her passion)—not only made money by selling her own creations for the first time ever, she sold her muffins and recipes for an amount higher than she expected.
This happened Friday and Saturday after I helped her Thursday night break through a HUGE issue she had about money, which was ingrained in her soul from watching her father struggle with money.
Sidebar: Discussing money is just as "dirty" as talking about sex, politics and religion. (And people wonder why most businesses fail!?) Money is just a convenient representation of the value you give to society. Anyone that tells you "money is the root of all evil" is either a lying manipulator or ignorant bastard or both. 1 Timothy 6:10 says
"The LOVE of money is the root of all evil."
If you teach the former, incorrect quote, from now on, there is a special place in Hell for you. Consider yourself warned. (End of Sidebar.)
Everyone in that workshop this weekend realized that the habits, the excuses, the fears, the worries, the ignorance of business principles, the poor work habits, the poor investing habits, the poor sales and marketing skills had created their undesirable lifestyle.
What are you tolerating in your life today?
If you accept any or all of the above they will soon become inevitable in your life.

It's not cheap. It's not expensive. It's like Goldilocks. It's just right.
Feelings don't follow actions. Taking action creates the positive feelings and optimism you need to achieve your goals.
The U.S.A. women's gymnastics team took action. I assure you there were many mornings they didn't want to wake up and train. But they did it. They did it together. They did it with great coaching. They did it by following rigorous routines outlined by more experienced coaches that knew what they were doing.
That's what I'll lay out for you in the Initial Process Assessment.
You can stop accepting at any time. Why not now?
