Morgana - Return to Wizard Academy

Last week my husband and I returned to the Pathfinder Mastermind at Wizard Academy in Austin, Texas.

It reminded me of when I was 13 years old, going to a parent designed public school in Los Angeles. Starting in 7th grade, all the upper level classes–10th through 12th grade–were open to me.

I remember how much more sophisticated and smart the “big kids” appeared to me (it was an odd school in which the popular kids were also brainiacs), and I buckled down to learn faster in order to catch up… lest I look like a stupid kid by comparison. It was one of the best, most inspiring times of my life.

Now about this mastermind that meets at Wizard Academy…Other members of the mastermind include Joe Polish, Allison Armstrong, Joe Vitale, Ivan Meisner (creator of BNI), Eben Pagan, the late Bill Harris (Holosync), Ryan Deiss… and other mentors and influencers who dominate that weird intersection of personal development and online technology. A really interesting and impressive mix that includes a few of my mentors and a couple of my clients.

Here I am talking with my hands at the beginning of this clip:

The first time my husband and I attended, we got married at the on-site chapel (our 16th wedding), with my mentor coach Alex Mandossian presiding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly we’re repeat offenders and part of the community, and yet I still felt like an outsider for much of this year’s mastermind at the Wizard Academy.

Here’s what I want to share about my experience:

Rarely do I suffer from “Loser-itis” and feel so far behind!

And by the way… I consider this to be a BENEFIT of the event.

Because while I feel deeply grateful for my successes so far–I AM wealthy in money, love, and lifestyle–I am also light years away from the businesses of many of my peers.

  • I do NOT spend $100K a month on Facebook ads.
  • I do NOT buy and sell million dollar companies.
  • I have not created a separate corporate entity for every aspect of my business (though that is an interesting idea).
  • I don’t even aspire to make hundreds of millions or billions of dollars… because I don’t need it and don’t really see the point.

But I do like to learn, to see what’s possible, and to know less about some things than other people in the room: that’s where GROWTH happens. Catch up is the best place in the world to be.

While I don’t want to replicate someone else’s business, there are always practices I might consider integrating to be more effective in my ambition to help others while living as I choose.

And here’s a secret: we ALL feel like losers. Even our gurus. There’s MAGIC in those moments: that’s when we have the humility and openness to inspiration and evolution.

I can’t think of a greater gift. This is a situation worth seeking out. That’s when doors open up that you never knew existed.

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise.  But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
