"We often think of enthusiasm as caused by an external event. However, it can be generated from within, becoming an intentional action for transforming virtually anything in our lives. Enthusiasm can take the seemingly small, dull, boring, or unimportant and turn it into something new and magnificent. Learn to strengthen the muscle of your enthusiasm, letting the tiny become great, and you will reclaim your energy and passion."

An email from Blair Singer (SalesDogs) - even he vouches to attend Robert's 3 - Day Seminar on................

Read below what Blair Singer has to say about Robert's 3 - Day Event coming up on May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd:

I'd like to invite you to take advantage of this once only opportunity...

As you may know, in this economy, those who are able to raise capital will win and those who cannot will lose. The days of traditional borrowing have disappeared, yet business owners who know how to raise funds anyway are doing great.

Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is presenting a 3-day seminar on the #1 skill of an entrepreneur - how to raise capital.

As you know, Robert and I have been friends and partners for over 25 years and have weathered good and bad economic times and usually have come out on top. While many see him as an investor and educator, his real strong suit is... his ability to build businesses and raise capital that generates even more income for himself and his businesses.

The other thing I know is, whatever the critical issue of the day, it becomes his passion to learn, master and teach. Property, investing, prognosticating, business, finance... and over the many years I have known him... he has always been a master of raising capital when no one else could.

If you have ever been to one of his programs, you will know that wherever you are in your business or your life, his message and information hits you right where it counts. And while it is not always comfortable... it is always profitable financially and emotionally. It will change your life!

You will also know that Robert NEVER repeats a program, so it truly is one time only. Therefore, I am personally inviting you to be at this most special program. The timing is critical.

Most businesses fail, not because of bad ideas or products or services... it's because most them simply run out of money before they get profitable. There are soooo many great deals out there right now, but if you cannot raise capital, you will miss the train that is pulling out from the station as we speak.

Please give careful consideration to this invitation... and do check into the special discount tuitions available!

Come on and sign up!! You will not regret it!!!!! (SMILE)

Friday Story from Bob Proctor 4/1709

Peggy McColl's Story
My Soulmate Came Knocking on My Door!


After my divorce, I was a stay-at-home mom running an Internet business, working in a home office with very little face-to-face contact with people. I lived in a residential neighborhood filled with families and, to my knowledge, not a single unattached man. Although I believed my soulmate was out there somewhere, it was hard not to notice the years ticking by as I waited for him to arrive. I also wondered how in the world he was going to find me, given that I worked from home and spent most of my days in semi-isolation.


Gradually, I let go of my need to know where or how he was going to come into my life, and one day early in January, I simply decided the following: My soulmate and I are going to meet easily, effortlessly, and perfectly. This, in fact, became my daily mantra, and I developed an unwavering emotion of faith.


One day shortly thereafter, I went for a walk with my dog, Noelle. After catching sight of another dog on the front lawn of a neighbor's house, Noelle bolted over to say "hello" to this new dog in the neighborhood. The moment the dog's owner walked out of the house, I thought, Hmmm . . . he's handsome! We started chatting, and in the middle of our conversation I found myself having another thought: This is the kind of guy that I would like to be with. He seemed gentle, kind, and caring, and he obviously liked dogs. Plus, he was handsome and masculine looking. From that point on, I stayed open to the way that Mr. Right would show up in my life, resisting the urge to "make something happen" and having faith in the Universe, its timing, and its wisdom.


Then, one snowy winter morning, my doorbell rang, and there was my new neighbor asking me to take care of his dog because his doggy babysitter wasn't available and he was called into work (he was a pilot on call).


After he returned from work, I invited him in for coffee, and the rest, as they say, is history.

We fell in love and within a short period of time were an item. Two and a half years later we married.

Here is the 4/10/09 Friday Story from Bob Proctor

ALL IN THE FAMILY

Nobody wanted to be there. Not even one person. However, they were all there, and in a strange way, glad they were.

It was the waiting room of the Neuro Trauma Intensive Care Unit (NTICU) at Memorial Hermann Hospital, one of only two "Level One Trauma Hospitals" in Houston, Texas. (Memorial Hermann Hospital was the site of ABC's medical drama entitled "Houston Medical.")

When a person is critically injured -- when one's life is hanging in the balance due to some traumatic event -- the family should always attempt to see to it that its injured loved one goes to a Level One Trauma Unit, if it's possible.

The families in the waiting room of the NTICU almost always appear to be petrified because they know, at any moment, a physician might enter the unit and tell them, "I am very sorry. We tried everything possible, however..."

The first few days, as a rule, the families keep to themselves. However, as time passes by, the families usually get to know each other -- they share the joy when there is good news for a family, and they also share their sorrow when there is poor news for a family. The Unit's many families become a "support group" for each other.

I have seen it often. As one of the social workers for the hospital I understand the dynamics of hope and the importance of support. I have seen families volunteer to take a family from out-of-town to their homes so that they could rest and shower. I have also seen strangers pray for the recovery of someone whom they did not even know 24 hours earlier.

There are many "miraculous" stories about the families in the NTICU. Unfortunately, there are also many times when there is not "a happy ending."

On one occasion, a young man was severely hurt and suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and was rushed to our hospital. For days, his prognosis was in doubt. His mother was always in the waiting room and I am sure she experienced a roller coaster of emotions, and of course, she breathed a huge sigh of relief when the doctors gave her reason to hope.

Then she saw another mother in the waiting room whose daughter had not been given that hopeful prognosis. The daughter, she was told by the doctors, would probably soon pass away as a result of the severe injuries that she had sustained in a car accident.

The two mothers were soon linked together -- strangers joined forever by a universal magnet -- motherly pain. They became very close, supporting each other in both good and bad times.

Ironically, the predictions for the two mothers were eventually reversed. The young man who was supposed to survive, unfortunately passed away, while the girl who was supposed to die is now making progress in Florida, in her home.

Families in the waiting room can eventually develop very close relationships and begin to care for each other. For example, there were two patients -- one elderly gentleman and the other a teenager -- who had been in the Unit for quite some time. Their families got to know each other, and became close.

The parents of the teenager were always at the hospital, night and day. But, one night, the teenager's mother returned to her home while his father remained in the waiting room. The next morning she returned to the hospital and said to the wife of the elderly patient, who regularly remained at the hospital night and day, "I was worried about you all night."

The elderly woman responded, "I figured you were worried because last night I WAS SLEEPING WITH YOUR HUSBAND IN THE WAITING ROOM AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED IT FOR THE WORLD!"

Everyone burst out in deep laughter. Humor can be a great coping mechanism.

Yes, life can be very difficult. However, it can also be tempered if one has a support system to help and assist during those strenuous and exacting moments.

Support is very important -- especially in the waiting room.

Friday Story from Bob Proctor 4/3/09

Best Day of My Life


Many thoughts cross your mind one hour before the beginning of an Ironman Triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run). Can I finish? Was my training plan sound? Did I do everything I possibly could to prepare myself for the day? What if I get a flat tire on the bike? What is my nutrition plan for the bike and run? Self doubt is natural.


As I rode down the hotel elevator one hour before the beginning of Ironman Wisconsin, I overheard the following conversation between strangers:


Stranger 1 - "Good morning. How are you?"

Stranger 2 - "Best day of my life."

Stranger 1 - Surprised by the reply, silence, apprehension for the Ironman race

Stranger 2 - "Young man, make this the best day of your life."


These simple 5 words from an anonymous stranger stayed with me for the next 11 hours 37 minutes and 12 seconds to the finish line. They were spoken without hesitation or rehearsal. They were spoken with wisdom, passion, and gratefulness. Ironman Triathlons have a way of magnifying yet simplifying life. There are only so many things in life you can control. You are 100% in control of your attitude. Your daily 'self talk' can be negative or positive. The choice is yours.


Stranger 2 turned out to be Frank Farrar, the former Governor of South Dakota and 79 year old Ironman Triathlete. Frank has competed in over 30 Ironman distance Triathlons and continues to compete. Thank you Frank for these words!

You need Cash for life? Then you need this skills...........

"My earliest experiences in a successful manufacturing business taught me the importance of capital. You probably already know that it’s the lifeblood of virtually any entrepreneurial idea. Without capital there can be no tools, materials, workforce, or facilities to support them. It can also play a critical role in getting the attention of your potential customers; before revenue can start rolling in on that big idea, you need capital to tell people about it through marketing, sales, and distribution."

Robert had us discussed what pop out at you when Tom Wheelwright read the I Am the Rich Dad Company Letter:

In my group:
For me - I rock most boat
Debra - evolution - evolution change, make those changes now
Trina - unwaveringly fearless action and the same with her husband
Kat - expanding beyond the financial means - expanding your knowledge

Coaching - some people don't, some people do - some people wont' step up, when they do we will be there

Education - same thing as coaching that some people won't step up and when they do we will be there


Robert:

Discuss for a couple of minutes discuss who you know that is basking inf false security, some one you know that has lost their job, etc.

Kim - someone she knows where she brought her land rover vehicle, the company went under, the owner trying to find jobs for his employees, then was worrying about getting a job himself, and so on. Then as she was leaving he ran out and shouted he got a job and Kim asked what kind of job, he said across the street doing the same thing he was doing where he was at, car industry. Same problem. Kim's point was the mindset the guy had: I got a job, etc.

This is basking in false security. It is the mindset of Americans through turbulence times.


Robert discussed the Depression 1954 lasted 25 years, etc. There is no middle class anymore in the third world countries, example in Mexico is nothing but either poor or rich peoplehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

1987 and 2007 stock crash, major change in the world, new technology before the decade ends as per Bucky Fuller. Whole new real estate out there being fought for.

You cannot get out of the way of things you can't see coming at you - change coming at you - that's why financial education is so crucial, we are entering a change that is a million times bigger than Columbus discovering America.

Trump said you can be the smartest guy in school and get a job in the wrong industry.

Robert started discussing the invisible world and Kat brought up about her sister playing online virtaul world called Second Life.com. How you can buy real estate for a dollar or something, clothes for 4 cents, building your virtual world online and live in it and to check it out - secondlife.com

Per Bucky Fuller we went from Industrial age to the Information age.

Produce more, share more to get paid, the idea that you are valuable is obsolete. Change is tremendous it is incredible biggest change in the history of the world - if we make that change we will win - got to be able to see what you can't see now.

Discuss change, what you can see and compare with what your mind see, etc for a couple of minutes.
Trina - using the bible belief what Jesus said, believe in what you couldn't see, etc.
Debra - the possiblynot receiving a pay check no more, something that is tangible, invisibly world idea, etc.

Robert: figure out where you want to be, how to get there, different ways to explore. etc. You can't rely on the media to filter info, have control on what you filter out of it, etc.

Bucky Fuller also said change accelerates in change of change, going 100 miles an hour. Today will be obsolete in a year per Robert. Rate of acceleration in accelerated change.

Robert - buy gold, silver, and real estate. Robert also feels there will be terrorism we never see before.

Company reporting:

Mike Sullivan - working on legal stuff with partners, trying to settle things one at a time, etc.

Mona Gambetta - Book on real estate coming out in May 2009, launch party, paragraph in the book Robert will be discussing how technologies change, etc.

Rhonda - Director of Marketing - Conspiracy of the Rich site has had 10.5 million hits, New York Times was part of it put the site in the article, also part of the traffic has global appeal, etc.

Kelly Richie - Franchising - National TV coverage in 4 different countries of the CASHFLOW Clubs, Newspaper coverage, and radio coverage in different countries of the clubs, also discussed the last 5 days Franchising training event, small event but the best they have had, how he games brought people awareness, etc.

Robert discussed the 3 days coming up in May 2009 "How To Raise Capital" is really an entrepreneurs program, etc.

Meeting adjorned

Once Again I.................

Once again I am challenging myself! I decided to write a book! I am not sure what I am going to write about but I am going to write a book. It will be a great learning tool to learn the process of writing a book and how authors do it. Just like accepting the position of Web Designer for Special Projects! So far that is going good. I purchased a Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 for my laptop and Rich Dad is purchasing Dreamweaver CS4 as well for the Mac. I have been for the last three weeks spending a lot of time tutoring myself in learning to run the program and also taking my HTML class. I really do like the class and the Dreamweaver software! The real challenge will kick in when I get a project to do to develop a page. Oh boy!
