Being Great Today

As I travel around the country, sharing the concept of Abundance from my new book Coaching Into Greatness with audiences everywhere, I'm overwhelmed and gratified at the response.

At one recent presentation up at Smith College in Northampton MA, Linda McDonald, offered this about greatness:

"Greatness is a state of being, not a destination."

This is a profound statement, and captures the essence of Abundance Intelligence.

We are born great. Greatness is not about striving or becoming. Greatness already is.

Repeat after me (don't worry, your monitor won't laugh at you!)

If it's to be, it's up to me!

I'm not becoming somebody, I AM somebody.

I don't want to become great someday,

I am being great TODAY!

THE Event of the Year

They've all got something in common.

Yes, they're highly successful business men.

Yes, they're all best selling authors.

Yes, they are some of the most abundant leaders and thinkers of our times.

But there's one more BIG thing they have in common.

They're all participating in the first ever Abundance Summit.

Yup, that's right, I've gathered the greatest minds together in business today to discuss how Abundance is the new manifesto for business and life.

Stay tuned for a special announcement on June 13th on how you can get an exclusive invitation to sit in as I pick the minds of these masters. You're not gonna' wanna' miss it!

The Roots of Friendship

"The mighty oak was once a nut that held its ground.”

This quote was sent to me by one of my best friends, Gail Stone.
Gail's new book, Get A Grip and Go: 5 Simple Steps to Receiving What You Want is coming out soon, and with my book, Coaching Into Greatness, out now, we've shared the ups and downs of creating your first book.

We also share our love and reverance for trees. Gail has taught me a lot of things, and opened me up to some amazing perspectives, books, and resources. More than anything, she personifies what it means to trust and have faith in the unknown.

We can never know exactly what's coming to us. But when we have support and the right environment, we can stand up tall, walk the path, and see the beauty all around us, that's always been there. It's our seeing that changes.

Gail's been that kind of friend in my life.

How can you be that special force for someone you know?
