Beyond the Burnout, to Discovering your Destiny – July 27-28 Tampa, FL

Are you are at a point in life where you find yourself wondering…Who am I?

and perhaps

Why am I here?

Maybe your life has taken some unexpected turns. A job, relationship, or health change has left you wondering about where the next part of your path lies?

Or perhaps you’ve lived enough of life to have climbed above the noise that engulfs most people’s daily existence. And as you’ve left the noise behind, you’ve discovered within the silence, a deep calling to know and live your true destiny?

If one of those apply to you, then I encourage you to take part in this two day experience. It will connect you to your authentic self in a way you have never been connected before.

The course is based on the teachings of my books The Why Cafe, and the Big Five for Life.

It will take place July 27-28 in Tampa, Florida. The instructor is the amazing Charlyn Shelton, one of my master trainers.

As a thank you for registering early, be one of the first ten participants who registers before July 1st, and you can bring a guest for free if you would like.

To register, please visit the registration page.

If you have any questions about the event, please contact us.

Why are you here? Looking for help figuring it out?

If either of those apply to you, then I encourage you to give yourself a gift. The gift of getting clear about who you are and why you are here.

You can view this short video I created to better understand.

The experience is based on the teachings of The Why Cafe, and the Big Five for Life. The Big Five for Life is a concept I introduced in my book following The Why Cafe.

Life is amazing when we become clear.

New edition of Big Five for Life is here!

Exciting news, the brand new edition of my third book, The Big Five for Life, has just arrived!

It’s available in gift edition hardcover ($19.95), paperback ($9.97) and e-book on Amazon ($9.97).

If you’ve enjoyed The Why Cafe, and/or my second book, Life Safari, you will love this one. From a writing perspective, I think it’s the best work I’ve done. It’s an inspiring story that will make you laugh, cry, and think about your life in a whole new way.

If you’re looking for inspiration, this is definitely a good way to kick off 2012.

John Quoted in Chicago Tribune – Are you building your ship?

Sometimes in the midst of all the economic and world news you forget just how much you are actually in control of your own destiny.

In this recent article in the Chicago Tribune, John explains that people who are passionate, smart, and able to “get things done” are always able to write their own ticket.

John Quoted in U.S. News and World Report

What is the point of earning money?

You can read a bit about John’s answer to that question in this recent article he was quoted in for U.S. News and World Report.

Fear of failure can keep you from success.

There is an interesting dialog evolving following an interview John did recently.

The interview was on the topic of what to do with your tax return this year. John’s take was spend it on something that has long lasting value. Have an amazing experience directly in line with your PFE. Use it to fulfill one of your Big Five for Life.

The basis for his answer is that not only does it make logical sense to live the life you really want, when you dig into the mathematics, it really makes sense.

Here are a couple of the big statistics he uncovered. Some of these are quoted in the initial article, others aren’t.

- One out of five men in American never make it to age 65

- 29% of men in America experience a life threatening cancer, heart attack, or stroke by the time they are 65

- When you adjust for inflation, the S&P 500, which is the benchmark most mutual funds try to beat (and most don’t) has lost 21% of it’s value over the last 11 years. That means that if you invested $1,000 into the S&P 500 11 years ago, not only has it not gone up, it’s now only worth $790.

As you will see when you read the article and some of the associated comments, John’s take on this generated some interesting responses. Most interesting though, is that the responses of the people who disagreed, tended to be fear based vs. fact based. Even the title of the article is an example of fear based thinking.

Sometimes we get so tied to a belief system or pattern of behavior that we ignore the reality of the situation. In this case, that could result in really missing out on opportunities to fulfill your PFE and Big Five for Life.

Enjoy the article.

HR Matters Magazine Calls The Why Cafe – Inspiring

One of the unexpected joys of The Why Cafe adventure has been watching fans of the book share it with their teams and co-workers in their workplaces.

In this latest review, HR Matters Magazine calls the new 2011 edition of  The Why Cafe “Inspiring.”

According to editor Rowena Morais,

“The book is excellent for realigning you and making you stop and reconsider. It’s very easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of daily life. To be completely immersed in the daily goings-on of your children’s lives or your careers and lose sight of where you want to be or even who you want to be. The fact however is that who we are sometimes is very different to who we want to be.

Sometimes we need to get away for a while to realign, sometimes we need to meditate, or read particular books or be open to new experiences. Whatever it is that we need, we sometimes are required to make a complete full stop on our lives and reassess where we are, what we are doing and where it is that we want to be.

This book helps us in that.

It talks about our PFE or our Purpose for Existing. The argument the author makes is that the most fulfilled people are those who know their PFE and do what it takes to fulfill it.

I recommend this book because it’s an excellent book to really make you think about what you are about and what you want to be.”
