Three points of discussion today:
1- A couple of week's ago I was at a friend's
house and we were talking about MySpace.com and the
truckload of dough the founders got when they sold
it.
My friend believes they got really lucky. Maybe
they did. Not sure.
But what I do know for sure is there are people
who set the trends and there those who follow them.
The ones who set the trends are the ones who most
often get 'lucky.'
2-
Alwyn Cosgrove made a great point on his blog
the other day about the most successful people being
the ones who most often invest in their own
education.
I'm guessing most everyone believes that. But I
KNOW that a lot of people just pay lipservice to it.
I was at a Bob Proctor seminar last week and I
made it a point to see who was going to the
back-of-the-room to get more info and who wasn't.
At my table there was a guy who owned 4 real
estate offices in the area. He brought three of his
employees with him. None of those three made
additional purchases and from what I gather didn't
pay for their own seat.
Me?
I got the deal of the century. For a hundred
bucks I got a ticket to another full day seminar AND
two books.
As you may have surmised, the first two lead
directly to point three.
3- November 10th to 17th is Virtual Seminar Week.
It's a move of sheer brilliance by two of the guys
who set the trends - Alex Mandossian and Rick
Raddatz.
49 virtual seminars in one week's time for $97.
Completely different. Completely unique. Complete
new trend.
Would you call that luck?
I'm signed up for it, because just like Cosgrove,
I have found the best investment on the planet is
ME.
If you don't do anything else, check out the site
and see what they are up to. It's truly freakin'
brilliant.
