Hello from Room 744 of the Renaissance Hotels and Resorts at Rex Wisehart’s The Capital Factor in Denver, Colorado!

As you may already know, I had spent over half of 2008 thus far in Asia to work on various projects to expand my business overseas.

However, what you may not know is that if it weren’t for Rex Wisehart’s The Capital Factor in Denver, Colorado this weekend, I would still be in Asia right now.

That’s because in addition to building and training my team overseas, several tradeshows that are relevant to my various businesses are happening right now in Hong Kong and China.

Instead of sticking around in Asia to participate in these events, I decided to return back to the United States early specifically to fulfill my commitment to Rex Wisehart to speak at The Capital Factor.

It was my first sales presentation in over 2 months, and it’s also my last one of its kind for at least the next few months.

The reason is that after serious consideration, I have decided to make some changes to my business, and as far as speaking is concerned, I am going to be a lot more selective when it comes to the event as well as the event organizer.

You may still see me on the stage from time to time at various conferences, but they will be much different - You’ll see what I mean in the upcoming weeks.

So why did I decide to make an exception for The Capital Factor, and was it a good decision?

Well, in addition to being great friends with Rex Wisehart, I knew that it was an event that I personally needed to attend to help build my own business.

And yes, I was right!

Not only did I have the priviledge to share the stage with some of the most brilliant business, finance, motivational and marketing minds in the world, such as Armand Morin, Rick Raddatz, Brendon Burchard, Jermaine Griggs, David Bullock, Wes Jankowski, Carolyn McCormick, Jim Arkebauer, Bob Smith, C.L. Osborn, Mindy Jones, Phil Winn, Darrel Hornbacher, Wayne Van Dyck and Dick Bruso …

… But I have also learned a ton of business related information and built new friendships with many top notch individuals who were in attendance at The Capital Factor.

I also had a ton of fun with The Capital Factor crew at the Rockies vs. Diamondbacks opening game at Coors Field on Friday, speakers dinner at the Tavern Lowry on Sunday evening, as well as at the event throughout the weekend.

The Capital Factor is one of very few events I remember in recent memory where I stuck around to watch presentations from the speakers, most of whom I have never seen speak before because they are in a different industry, and was able to pick up a ton of extremely helpful new information.

If you weren’t able to make it to The Capital Factor live yourself this past weekend in Denver, you should definitely get your hands on The Capital Factor DVDs so you don’t miss out on this amazing information.

Hello from Room 707 of the Embassy Suites at Stu McLaren’s Idea Incubator in Anaheim, CA, just a few blocks away from Disneyland and Downtown Disney

This event marks the last speaking engagement that I have committed to for the next few months… That’s because I will be doing some intensive International traveling to start building new businesses and organizing my own events overseas.

With that said, I must say that the Idea Incubator was for certain the best event I could have chosen for such an occasion…

This is primarily due to the fact that the Idea Incubator has arguably one of the most involved processes for the speakers, simply because Stu McLaren strongly believes in maximizing the value for the attendees.

Not only is the Idea Incubator an intensive weekend of valuable information, but each speaker also presents not just once, but TWO times, for multiple days in content-packed 90 minute sessions.

In addition, all speakers also get together with the attendees for a night in a “roundtable” session, where small groups get the chance to personally meet and grill each speaker for 20 minutes at a time on just about anything that they want!

And considering the EXTREMELY high quality of speakers that I have the honor of sharing the stage with at the Idea Incubator, including Alex Mandossian, Armand Morin, Matt Bacak, Jermaine Griggs, Ray Edwards, Michel Fortin and Sylvie Fortin…

Well, you can just imagine the tremendous value each attendee got simply by making their trip to Anaheim this weekend!

Also, I must admit that I’ve never been to another event where even the most successful speakers stick around to network and hang out with everyone throughout most of the event.

The quality of Idea Incubator also shows with the calibur of audience just in attendance, including Frank Sousa, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, Christina Hills, Jay Aaron, Mike Koenigs, Jose Espana, DJ Dave Bernstein, Eric Farewell, Marty Stewart, Rachel Rofe and Jaime Mintun.

You may or may not have heard of all the names I just mentioned (particularly the latter ones), but they are all good friends of mine and you’ll be hearing a lot more from them real soon (I already have some cool projects planned with most of them).

Definitely an amazing weekend at the Idea Incubator, but I’m bummed that I need to leave the event early because I am taking off for my 2 month trip to Asia tonight, so I need to go home, pack and take care of some last minute things.

However, I am very glad that I could stick around last night for not only for the round table session, but also to celebrate Stu McLaren’s birthday with his team and a few friends at Red Robins.

Again, this marks the end of my seminar speaking tour for a while, and since I will be out of the country, that means that I will be missing some very cool upcoming seminars, including Ken McArthur’s JV Alert Live, Howie Schwartz and Dr. Mike Woo-Ming’s Lead Supreme Workshop, Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets Reunion, and other events organized by Armand Morin, Mark Hendricks and Frank Kern.

And even though I will be back on the circuit eventually, probably in a couple of months, I will be committing to a lot fewer of them, and my schedule will be a lot less aggressive so that I can focus on truly building my business.

I have a lot of goals regarding where I want to take my business, and after 18 months of intensive traveling and speaking, I believe it’s finally time to stir my actionable items towards that direction.

Hello from Room 212 of the DoubleTree Guest Suites near the Cobb Galleria at Armand Morin’s Big Seminar 9 in Atlanta, Georgia!

This was my first time attending Big Seminar, which took place at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel … And everything I’ve heard about Armand Morin’s spectacular event has been all true!

In addition to the amazing speaker line-up, which included Loral Langemeier, Marlon Sanders, Joel Comm, Alexandria Brown, Russell Brunson, Joe Polish, David Riklan, Jim Edwards, Mike Stewart and Armand Morin…

Even Internet Marketing experts who were NOT speaking at Big Seminar 9 came out, including Jeff Walker, Brad Fallon, Andy Jenkins, Craig Perrine, Donna Fox, Stu McLaren, Tellman Knudson, Carl Galletti, The Rich Jerk, Shawn Casey. Michel Fortin, Sylvie Charrier, Brian Edmondson, Ryan Deiss, Matt Bacak, Eric Holmlund, Jeanette Cates, Mark Braunstein, Keith Wellman and Eric Rockefellar, just to name a few.

As you can imagine, Big Seminar has indeed been a tremendously valuable networking experience!

From getting interviewed for Joel Comm’s “The Next Internet Millionaire” TV reality show to late night runs to the Waffle House, this has, without a doubt, been a memorable Big Seminar weekend.

And from the rumors that are going around, Big Seminar 10 is coming up next and as the 10th semi-annual event, it is scheduled to be the biggest Big Seminar to date!

So leave your calendar open for Big Seminar 10 scheduled for the month of October, and I look forward to seeing you then here in Atlanta, Georgia!
