Recently I spent some time in Sydney Australia with some colleagues as we were speaking for Christopher Howard’s Ultimate Marketing Seminar.

After three days of being completely upside down in my time zones and presenting at this conference of over 700 people, I was exhausted. But I was committed to enjoying some of local Sydney life before I had to leave for Melbourne.

I headed out for the day with some of my colleagues, Stan Dahl and John Carlton of www.marketingrebel.com. We hit the zoo, had drinks and dinner by the water, played some pool then hit a local jazz club. By then I’m snoring at my table (jazz just isn’t my thing).

So my new found friends proclaim it’s SPA TIME!

What? Spa time? At 11:30 at night? OK, I’m in.

So John gets us a taxi and we head to the seedy part of town (aka strip clubs, adult book stores and god knows what else) where we find an onslaught of Thai massages. And no, not the ones with the happy endings.

What I found was a real gem of an awesome Thai Massage called Sabai (if you are ever in the area check it out at 145 Oxford Street in Darlinghurst. It’s open from 10 am to 2 am. Geez, when DO they sleep? LOL.)

First I had to change into my massage outfit (again, a bit apprehensive at 12 am in the morning but I’m going with it.) It’s a loose fitting icky green shirt and pants. Since I was in jeans I’m very happy.

Then I have to lay down on a mat on the floor and the work begins. Now I have to be honest here. I was fast asleep (again) within 10 minutes so I don’t really remember most of it. But I woke up an hour later feeling totally relaxed. And John and Stan raved.

The sign of a great massage for me — I want to go back! I swear I tried to find another 2 hrs so I could go again. I’m keeping the brochure just in case I’m in Sydney again soon.

Its time to give you a peek into my own personal success tools that I’ve used along the way. Three years ago I participated in a 3 day workshop that changed my life forever. I’ve been to hundreds of personal growth workshops and this is one that I continue to share with my private clients over and over again. Now it’s time to share this wonderful opportunity with you.

Well I finally went to my first real hollywood party. It was quite an experience as this was a unique Hollywood crowd….a blend of the spiritual, “make a difference crowd” with the industry scene and a big mansion in the Hollywood hills. Here are a couple of pictures of this house. The pool actually has a boat in it and the whole house was just outrageous in a modern-art deco kinda way. If you want to see more pictures of this house, you can go to http://www.mansion11.com/.


I had no idea what to expect. My friend and client Tracy Monteforte invited me as she was one of four presenters who were helping to kick off a spiritual movie to the industry. About half way through the evening, Tracy’s husband Pat sat down next to me and said, “You know this party is because of you.”

I sat there dumbfounded for a moment, trying to figure out what he was saying when it hit me. Pat said, “Yeah, remember when you called us in Hawaii about Chris Howard?”

It starts with Tracy & I. I coached Tracy and Pat a couple of years ago and we’ve stayed friends ever since. Last year, an opportunity came up to introduce Tracy to my mentor Chris Howard’s organization through Triscka Mallia. Triscka was working for Chris Howard as his Joint Venture coordinator. So I introduced them and Tracy attended all of Chris’ training and became one of his coaches. A woman named Pam Tam became Tracy’s client through the Chris Howard coaching programs. Pam had a dream to make this movie and it was through her coaching with Tracy and the support of her other mentors (including Jairek Robbins, Tony Robbins’ son) that this movie became a reality.

Did you track all that? Here is the bottom line. Without realizing it, and simply to help mutual friends make a connection that I thought would be mutually beneficial, a powerful, positive ripple effect occured that aligned the right people at the right place at the right time to help Pam get her movie out.

This party was the culmination of all of these ripples coming together for one big splash! Here are some pictures from the evening — the house was a blast and it was great to connect with some fun friends from the past.

I attended Christopher Howard’s Billionaire Bootcamp last week on the big island of Hawaii. It was a phenomenal experience. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some of my biggest a-ha’s in the blog. Of all the trainings and courses I’ve attended (and I attend at least 4 per year and speak at 10) this is by far one of the most powerful transformational events.

But first, let me preface with the environment. The event was at the Hilton Waikoloa. Its a beautiful venue with lakes, waterfalls and most importantly…dolphins. Every day when I was able to squeeze in a 45 minute lunch, I would sit by the dolphins and enjoy a meal with some of my fellow attendees. One day, the dolphins were playing and jumping around. Here are a couple of pictures, the first one is of the dolphin jumping out of the water “doing tricks” and the second was where they swam by my feet for lunch.

The learnings from this event go beyond what I expected. One of my biggest a-has was actually quite simple — do what works already. There was one day of “games” where we formed teams. My first team exercise had to do with building and selling a business. The collective lessons we all learned in the first exercise was pretty powerful. Here are the top three:

1. Start with a strong, clear plan of action.
A few players on the team jumped into immediate action and started running around trying to achieve results. I stayed at home base with the CEO and tried to get him to work with me to put a plan in place.

Result: Very little results and a lot of frustration. The teams that did best in this round had a clear defined strategy with each team member knowing what to do and why.

Lesson: No matter how much time you have, always map out a strategic plan.

2. Focus on the high payoff opportunities.
One of our team members made a mistake in negotations and we had a HUGE problem that was going to cost us a fortune. At that time, the CEO and I were working on a huge contract that was worth $3million. The interesting thing was that our “CEO” got all caught up in solving the problem and neglected moving forward with the opportunity.

Result: Once we finally got our CFO (Chief Financial Officer) to tally up the damages and the team realized that they were focusing on a problem, allowing all of our energy, focus and resources to get sucked AWAY FROM putting together a deal that would make the problem insignificant.

Lesson: Always have a high-payoff filter that allows you to instantly become aware of the payoff of where your focus is.

3. Leverage your strengths by aligning with a power team.
During the third and final round, I found myself wanting to quit the game. I was standing in a long line, frustrated with how many people were cutting and crowding, when my partner called me out of line and said she had found a way around the line. Her innovativeness put us light years beyond the other teams with a power deal. We invested in the deal and skyrocketed to the top of the wealth quota. That innovative problem-solving coupled with the relationships and trust for results we had established through-out the day opened up a landslide of joint venture opportunities.

Result: We ended up one of the wealthiest teams at the end of the day because we leveraged the power of a team. I was not always in my competency but I knew enough to surround myself with people who knew what they were doing and add value in my own unique way.

Lesson: Success is built by mitigating your weakness through the leverage of teams. I was one of the wealthiest people at the end of the day. I had no idea what I was doing half the time, but I also was willing to connect the right people to build a power team. This is the basis of what I teach in my own coaching program and even built a program called Virtual Team Building Secrets around it.

Here are a few of the power players on my team (I’ll admit now I was so focused on the games that I neglected to use my camera enough!)
