Thank you to NAIFA Georgia for their brilliant job of producing their 2013 NAIFA Georgia State Convention on Tuesday, April 23. I was honored to have the opportunity to speak at the convention and experience the outstanding presentations of Chris Coleman, Tim Richardson and John Wright II.
Pictured here are NAIFA Georgia Executive John Weeks, Debby Evans, Sandy Sutton and Don Esposito.
It was great to reconnect with fellow MDRT speaker Tim Richardson. We had a chance after the convention to offer each other some business-building ideas.
It’s 5 pm ET Wednesday, April 24 and I’m 90 minutes into a 150-minute flight from Atlanta to Dallas connecting in Vancouver and then on to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island making for a long creative day.
So to stay inspired I’m practicing what I suggest to my clients which is to make a list of everything that they have to give thanks for from the past week and focus on how that makes you feel versus the always judging / unthankful ego – amygdala, emotional, limbic, lizard brain.
This give-thanks-for list below is from the week of Sunday April 14, to Saturday April 21, which ties into this Organizational Mind Map that I created on Sunday April 15.
You might think it is a sin that I have worked the last three Sundays in row having spoken at TedX Powell River Sunday April 7, flown to London, ON, Sunday April 14, and flown to Atlanta Sunday April 21. I am sure that God understands the investment one makes to deliver The Inspirational Tipping Point while living on the edge of nowhere on Vancouver Island.
