I went to a 2-day live event in the LA area for business and personal growth.   The event was phenomenal and well worth the three thousand dollar investment.  But here is the amazing part, at the end of the event during the networking, I asked the other men and women who attended what they thought. <\/p>\n<p>I heard some people say things like &#8220;It was worth every penny I put into this&#8221; and &#8220;I have already reserved the next 3 days to apply this education&#8221; and &#8220;This was one of the smartest investments I have ever made in my business.&#8221;   These people loved it and were immediately applying the new-found knowledge. <\/p>\n<p>Other folks said things like &#8220;The cost was more then the value&#8221; and &#8220;I spent a lot of money on this and am disappointed&#8221; and &#8220;I knew I shouldn&#8217;t have paid so much.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>That is when it hit me&#8230;&#8230;like a ton of bricks. Every person that saw the event as an <strong>investment<\/strong>, received tremendous benefit from it. And everyone who saw the event as a <strong>cost<\/strong>, received no benefit whatsoever. <\/p>\n<p>Basically, the event was deemed a success or failure by each attendee BEFORE the event even happened.  If you committed to going to the event as an <strong>investment<\/strong> in your business (like I did), you got tons and tons of value. But, if you saw the event as a <strong>cost<\/strong>, then it was basically wasted time and money. <\/p>\n<p>What a wake up call it was for me!  We experience our expectations. And we need to be VERY aware of the expectations we set for ourselves. &#8211;Sarah Shaw<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bill&#8217;s Question<\/strong>:  Wonder how this applies to the people you bring into your business?  I often say that starting a business is the very best personal development seminar I&#8217;ve ever taken!  And no matter what seminar I attend I know for a fact I&#8217;m going to learn at least one new thing and make at least one new friend&#8230;.therefore every event is an <strong>investment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Live With Intention,<br \/>\nDr Bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning Team &#8211; A friend \/ fellow seminar junkie recently attended an event and shared this breakthrough.
