I was recently in Orlando for the Success Mechanics Extreme Business Makeovers Seminar which promised to take your business to another level. First of all, I'd like to say that not only did it do that, but it was 2 days of some of the best personal and business growth principles I have ever heard.
There were 10 experts in areas of wealth, health, personal growth, networking, and business systems including (from the movie 'The Secret') Bob Proctor, Bo Short, John DiLemme, Stephanie Frank, Bob Burg, Christopher Guerriero, Drew Miles, Cameron Johnson, Thom Scott, and Al Walker.
Now, all of the speakers are legendary in their own right, and most people who know me know that I consider Bob Proctor my mentor and business partner. In fact, I attribute much of my success with CommercialMaker and all that has preceded it in the past three years to principles and concepts that I learned from him. So to finally meet him in person, and speak with him was nothing short of surreal.
However, I believe that I can speak for everyone at the seminar when I say that the most impact was delivered by 22 year old Cameron Johnson. This in no way implies that the other speakers did not offer great knowledge. They did indeed, and I walked away with some great new friends and future business associates. Cameron Johnson is just simply in a league of his own.
As I mentioned, Cameron is 22 years old. He is a millionaire. Now that is not so unusual when you compare it to this next statement: He has been making millions since he was 14. In fact, he started his first business when he was only 9 years old, and created a multitude of businesses, all very profitable. Out of 10 seasoned, successful, knowledgeable business leaders, I think Cameron Johnson really put one thing into perspective, and that is this...you really do become what you think about. This 'kid' became so successful because he didn't know any better. He had no knowledge of failure when he started his first business, he just assumed he would make big money like 'all business owners do'...and so he did.
This is a good lesson to everyone in business for themselves. EXPECT things to go your way. EXPECT to make more money than you can spend. EXPECT to land every deal you go after, and pretty soon, you will start to realize that you have put the world under a spell. Someone once said, "energy flows where energy goes,". So direct your energy into everything you want to happen, and you will begin to see more of it.
