Knowledge
In September we held the Entrepreneurs Breakthrough weekend in Vancouver Canada and what a great group of people gathered for this event. Students came from all over the country who participated in this landmark training. It has taken Stefanie and I two years of conversations to pull our information together and produce this training event. She is a wizard with marketing and I contributed all the internal mindset skills for success. I can honestly say it blew me away sitting in the audience listening to such easy strategies that I have never thought of, to create influence and revenue. I reached a deep level of contentment knowing we never lost sight of the possibilities and finally to experience the joy of our vision becoming real.
Stefanie and I both knew we were missing something in our original systems. For me, I was missing the knowledge of how to help my students create a successful business strategy so their desire to help others, would become a profitable business. For Stefanie, it was teaching her students how to breakthrough the limitations of their beliefs systems and harness the power within them so the strategies she was teaching would become actualized not sabotaged.
The combination of skills we have put together is nothing short of awesome.
As I have sat with the results of that weekend, I was struck with the realization that if we never give up on our dream, it would manifest. I recently presented with Michael Gelb through his Innovation and Leadership Academy for a large group of his corporate clients. Michael just finished his book Innovate like Edsion, which he co-authored with Sarah Miller Caldicott who is the great grandniece of Thomas Edison.
One of my greatest take aways from the book, was never give up on your dream. Each one of us is inconsistent at best and our focus can waver therefore our results prolonged. There is one thing that I know builds self esteem and that is setting an outcome and manifesting the results. In my own personal life I have only fallen short when I waver in my commitment to reaching my objective. When clients schedule sessions their problem is often times traced back to lack of self esteem laced with lack of follow through.
Each one of us requires identifying our right work which satisfies our souls longing to make a contribution. When we have identified our path, then created a way to actualize it with as much tenacity as Thomas Edison did in creating a way to light the world, then we awaken the genius within us.No matter what seeming set backs, never give up until you find a way. If we never lose our focus, the future becomes a clear PATH.
I knew Stefanie and I would make a great team from the moment I met her and thought there was a latent power of possibility there. We have been in conversation for two years both knowing there was something we required to do together, and neither one of us lost sight of the target.
The possibilities we have created are endless as they are for every one of you. We are only limited by our beliefs and the evidences that we have gathered that our beliefs are real. Think out of your comfort zone and dream a bigger dream than your experiences say you can. Stretch, imagine and create relationships that are aligned to your deepest values. Gather your TRIBE and step forward with the constant mantra on your lips: I AM, I CAN.
We will be holding our Entrepreneurs Breakthrough Weekend in Australia in 2009. If you would like to be part of the training or help us get the word out please contact me via e-mail at gary@garyderodriguez.com. Our vision is to create a group of empowered entrepreneurs that shifts the heart of business, creating an amazing contribution that brings consciousness to capitalism.
Love & Light
