This podcast was fantastic…and the comical things is–I had no idea who the heck you guys were, lol. Followed a link which referred to the “usually loud and outspoken blogger Derek Halpern.”

So here I am =)

Listened to the podcast and you both sounded like guys I’d be laughing with over a number of subjects. I chuckled about taking the steak–but hey, talk about an opportunity. A story, a memorable event–and like Derek said–I’d tell it to everyone, get people talking!! Epic.

Just want to know if Adam went out to dinner with that woman again, after he was put on her team?

My own father, a successful man, had me go get ‘real world experience’ for a year before he’d employ me…and it formed SO many characteristics and gave me skills I couldn’t have gotten any other way. Funny thing was, I never waited in line again.

Married the girl of my dreams, doing what I love more than anything else…and have 12 kids.

Hehe. “Get a real job”? Derek. Ouch.
I agree with Adam–it was a real job…it just wasn’t ‘traditional’.

Thank goodness for that, eh?

Thanks guys =)

-Jaime

To be so wasteful when she could have ordered only the vegetables, or taken it home, is just beyond words. It doesn’t matter her net worth, where she lives, the group of people she is with, or that the company is paying for it.

what you’re trying to build, and WHY you’re doing it. Who are you helping? What’s your big mission? Describe what you want to do in detail.

I’m trying to build a speaking and info-publishing business because that’s the absolute best way for me to reach an audience with whatever it is I want to discuss or promote.

I’m doing this because it allows me to obtain the skills that will allow me to help advance our species. I dream of working with Peter Diamandis and fulfilling a vision of what like could be like and actually start working to make that happen.

For now, I intend to serve speakers, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs by helping them make more money by doing fewer presentations. Not only that, but when they do speak in a live seminar setting, I’m giving them a proven way to have the absolute best audience for their content/promotion EVERY SINGLE TIME.

As I advance in that business I will undoubtedly have a chance to meet Peter in person and shake his hand. I would like to participate in Singularity University and Abundance 360 and all the other stuff he puts on so I can meet with and learn from the very people who have the same philosophical drive and intention: advance and contribute to humanity.

Derek, I want to personally thank you for asking the questions that allowed me to get clarity on my intentions. These ideas have been rattling around in my head for quite some time. The last two paragraphs serve as my crowning achievement, my defining moment. Now I know with clarity the path I’m truly travelling. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love and gratitude,
Allen

I only glanced at the table of contents so far, but it does seem like something worth checking out. To answer your questions:

1. My partner and I are trying to build a successful online business that nets us at least $9,000 per month (six figures a year).

2. Serenity are doing this to gain and experience freedom for ourselves. Freedom from financial worries, freedom to travel, and overall live life on our terms. With all this extra money and time, we also plan on supporting worthy causes we believe in such as Food for the Poor and the Humane Society of the United States.

3. In our online business, we are helping small business owners and entrepreneurs either establish their online presence or improve an existing one.

4. Our big mission is to educate all small business owners and entrepreneurs about the benefits of using the Internet to improve their business. Then with our own profits, we want to help not only less fortunate people in developing countries with food, shelter, etc., but also less fortunate animals. Overall, we want to provide value to small business owners and entrepreneurs everywhere, achieve freedom for ourselves, and then take advantage of our freedom (and profits) to make a difference in this world.

Whereas some people try to become rich so that they can have their own mansions, sports cars, private jets, and enjoy the high life overall, Serenity and I are more about using our freedom and wealth to bless others. After all, what goes around comes around.

At the time I was desperately searching for advice and info on what endo was and what it would mean for my future. I was devasted by what I learned and the amount of misinformation and totally negative stuff was out there. I want to start something that helps educate people on this disease and to get the funding for research that is so desperately needed. March is endometriosis awareness month

Your mind is the fundamental reason that you do what you do. Everything starts with an intentional mental decision. You can have the best reason in the world…say your doctor tells you that if you don’t exercise…your relatives will be having a family gathering to honor you but you won’t be there. Many people are told this and they still don’t exercise, quit smoking etc. They have family giving them support and giving them the right environment but…they still don’t budge. Once you decide even without the external factors your mindset changes for the better. Sometimes the external factors help us afterwards but everything starts in the mind.
