Join The Achievers Club

I was at the National Achiever's Congress (NAC) last week. Among the speakers there were Joe Girard, Steve Linder, Roger Hamilton, T Harv Eker, Blair Singer, and Steven Molnar. A WOW experience.

My personal favourites were Roger Hamilton, T. Harv Eker, and Joe Girard. Watching Joe Girard spoke, you'd understand why he's so successful. He has such fire, passion and hunger for success that it's impossible not to succeed.

I'm going to share a few tips and quotes from NAC.

Here are Steve Linder's 7 Steps to Achieving Performance:

1. Authenticity and trust
   
2. Mastering meaning (nothing has meaning except what you ascribe to it - interesting... when you think about it)
   
3. Creating Your Vision
   
4. Finding your purpose
   
5. Mastering Strategies
   
6. Taking MASSIVE actions
   
7. Serving others
   

My favourite quotes:
"Failure is unplanned results." -Steve Linder

"3 most dangerous workd: I KNOW THAT." -Steve Linder

"Problems are a gift from God." -Joe Girard

"The name of the game is service." -Joe Girard

"The sales begin after the sales. Treat people good." -Joe Girard

"You have time to rest when you're dead." - T. Harv Eker

"Act in spite of fear. Act in spite of doubt, Act in spite of uncertainty. Act in spite of inconvenience." - T. Harv Eker

That's the gist of it. It's quite impossible to share everything I learnt there. If you missed the event, make sure you're at NAC next year.

I Had A Ball In Bali

I was in Bali last week to attend the Entrepreneur Business School (EBS). That was definitely the most amazing experience.

We were divided into teams of about 11 people and there were 20 teams. Prior to EBS, business owners were invited to submit a business plan. The top 20 plans were selected and each team worked on one business plan. There were a panel of 6 mentors, each with a certain specialization who commented on how the business plan can be improved.

That was a very valuable experience and I learned a lot. However, what I remember most about EBS was not all the business stuff that I learned there.

On the first day of EBS, we were given a slip and were asked to write down the answer to the question "Why Are You Here?". My answer was "To learn how to build and grow a business".

Here comes the interesting part. EBS was no ordinary business school. It's not just about business. It was also about finding your life purpose - discovering the answer to the question "Why Are You Here?". That was a very powerful exercise.

On the last day, we were given a new slip with the question "Why Are You Here?". I wrote down my answer. I was amazed when I saw how different the answer was from what I wrote on the first day. My answer to that question is...

"To be a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that completes a bigger picture. To serve humanity and leave the world a better place than when I arrived."

In case you're wondering how I arrived to that answer, well... the only way to find out is to attend EBS yourself. I can't recommend it enough. Words cannot describe what an amazing experience it was.

In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I signed up as a crew for the next EBS that will be held in September. See you there?
