VINDICATED!..and my secrets revealed
You ever have those days that feel like you’re way too jacked on espresso and you just can’t dial it down? Yep, that was me, all day today. It started off in part because I’m still here at Mega Camp and after my blog post yesterday I got so many comments from people I didn’t even know… “Hey, you’re that blogger guy, why’d you come back today; I thought you were blowing off mega camp?” Funny. Clearly they looked at the blog post but didn’t actually read it (which I couldn’t help but point out). But I was jacked up anyway realizing how many readers I’ve got!
The day continued to rock because I got to meet Chris Gardner—the real life dude who Will Smith played in The pursuit of Happyness. I got to meet his kid too—the guy the whole thing was really about. I gotta tell you, I almost blew off this part of it again— I’ve just sat in enough rooms with enough inspirational story tellers. I’m just past all that—If I’m gonna have inspiration, I want to make my own, do my own thing, get into the world and start doing—not sit on those chairs in that darkness and hear about someone else’s. Looking across the sea of faces, I wanted to grab a mega phone and say to everyone, “hey everybody, let’s all get up and get out of here, let’s go inspire someone else, right now— So many of us here, we could make a huge impact, come on, follow me!” But—I didn’t. Something told me to stay and sit this one thru. Maybe it was the allure since I had loved the movie. Maybe it was the fact that he swore in the first 5 minutes of his speech, and I just love when people are raw and real. Yeah, that was probably it.
He began– shared his story, his journey, his raw and real approach to the world, his commitment and approach to being a dad and being in the world and giving back—his passion for making dad’s be dads, for raising awareness in all of us about the working homeless in America—it was intense. Again, I usually hate this stuff, but this guy—we connected. I could just feel the impact he was making— and his relentless, I’ll crush anything and anyone in my way attitude for survival and to give back—I loved the intensity of it. I’m an intensity junky— I almost don’t care what you’re doing or what the cause is—if you’re full of passion and intensity that’s for real, I’m with you. It’s how I do just about everything—to the max. I loved everything about him and so encourage you all, get his books, check him out, order is stuff—get to know him and get involved—this guys changing the world and you owe it to the planet to jump into his vibe and mojo—it’s pure energy at the highest level. www.chrisgardnermedia.com
Which leads me to the actual session at Mega Camp. I hate to say it because I starting to sound like a groupie— but I will—it was the very possibly the best session I’ve ever attended in my career. Anybody who was thinking of coming, this hour session would have made the thousands of dollars and days of away all worth it. Possibly the real reason I loved it was because I felt vindicated. With all my success, people continue to try to figure me out, they always want to know what I’m doing, why I’m doing it— is it legit?, can they do it too?, why aren’t they doing it?—quickly, they create excuses—–They didn’t have access to people the way I did. (huh? ) They didn’t have money for school like I did. (huh? ) They can’t work as many hours as I do ( Huh?). And, when they really want to know, when they really dive into my business and approach, usually they think I’m hiding the real secret. They can’t figure it out when they realize I don’t have all the stuff you’re supposed to have, I don’t have any credentials , don’t have a coach, don’t use scripts ( HATE THEM) don’t work 100 hours a week, bla bla bla. When I tell people my secret, they just usually walk away— turn away— run away.
however, today, I was vindicated. The Keller Williams leadership got up on that stage for 2 hours and outlined my exact secrets; they outlined exactly how I’ve been running my business for 15 years and how I live my whole life. They validated everything I’ve thought, all my approaches and my deepest inner knowing about why some people make it and some people don’t. It’s so simple to me—so basic I can’t believe we have to teach it… and yet, packaged up and delivered like it was today, I am so grateful—now I have language about how and why I am where I am. I’ve got scientific proof, credible data backing me up— and some famous cool ass people up on stage saying it like it really is! I feel a little like Will I Am singing, “it’s a good, good day”! But, I’m not gonna tell you here, my agents and team get the goods first. I owe it to them and they totally deserve it first… . However…..
