Travel Day 7 – What Is Your Greatest Asset?

It’s 8:45 am on Thursday, September 13th and Laura and I are getting ready for an 11:40 am flight home. We celebrated the many successes of this trip last night by going to KA by Cirque du Soleil.

Yesterday’s One Page Business Plan Presentation to Pro-Seminars 2012 13th Annual National Advisor Conference in Las Vegas was a success.

My connection challenges over the last seven days really served as they became a new opener for my One Page Business Plan Presentation.

What is your greatest asset?

It is not your money or your time.

It is your consciousness.

There are far too many details and interruptions in today’s high speed world that can rob you of your consciousness and it easy to get sucked into fear and survival if you don’t have a written plan that includes vision, mission, objectives, strategies and actions.

I then offered my experience over the past seven days which engaged the audience and made me authentic because I am no different than anyone else.

• Internet connection problems in Las Vegas with either hotel Wi-Fi or my Virgin USA Mi-Fi – Mi/Wi-Fi does not cut it when trying to download drivers of larger files like graphics files that I am creating literally on the fly.
• Investing 6 hours on Saturday evening, September 8th, which included 3 hours and 20 minutes on the phone with Andrew from HP to configure a new ePrinter so that we were able to print the Balanced Business Barometer Reports that NAIFA delegates where completing via iPads at our booth at NAIFA. Thank goodness for the connection with Andrew at HP; he saved the day. Be careful what can be imagined … having a UK programmer creating the Balanced Business Barometer so that it can be completed in our booth via iPads and then print to an ePrinter … I am sure some of you do this kind of thing every day.
• Not getting that my new Samsung Ultrabook requires a HDMI to VGA converter to connect to the Projector when I am using my own laptop to give my PowerPoint presentation and finding out on the road that you can only purchase them on-line … this was one hour before my presentation.
• Investing 10 minutes on the phone with Simon Parson’s from IT Computer Services as Simon coached me through reconfiguring my iPhone email as it was not sending my email while I was in Boise.
• On September 10th, I was booked on Alaska – Boise/Seattle/Las Vegas and even though I had printed tickets, Alaska said no, you are booked on United – Boise/Denver/Las Vegas … When I got to Las Vegas I was told my bag is on its way from San Francisco.

What are you doing to empty your mind of details and interruptions to get your best thought leading ideas on paper?
