Best Friend's Hawaiian Adventure
The Hawaiian Adventure . . .
. . . What My Best Friend Learned!
The Wizard . . .
"My best friend is a strange guy . . . which is probably why he is my best friend. The following are things I am helping him to learn."
My Best Friend Shared . . .
"This was the best vacation my wife of 35 years and I have ever had, due to The Wizard. I wish everyone had such an amazing friend as I do."
Lesson #1 ~ I Am A Bad Leader
The #1, most important thing I shared with my team, they did not clearly understand what I had communicated and how to have fun and be safe at the same time. :-)
The #1 objective I had while gone for 2 weeks on a Hawaiian Vacation Adventure for my business team was: "Complete ten 30 minute Strategy Sessions AND manage Up/Out to me AND get frustrated if you don't hit the goal."
Further Thoughts . . . While I am sure that I was very very very clear as to what I communicated, it did not happen. So as a leader I must take ownership of this. I could have had them write it down. I could have had more depth so rather than a couple of people who seemed to be aware I could have made more people to be aware of it. I could have laid out consequences in writing if my directives were not followed. There are many things which I could have done and this will bug me for some time so I will INTERNALIZE this and be a better leader next time.
On the personal side, the above picture is of my 28 year old daughter. What you don't see is that there was a 12 foot drop and the waves splashed all the way up 12 feet and then some. She could have been killed.
Further Thoughts . . . You will hear about more failures as a leader, husband, and father from the 14 days we were together. I am grateful to God that my wife, daughter, and son-in-law all came back safely. :-)
Yes, every one of the 14 nights we were able to watch the sunset. Every one was different and every one was beautiful.
The Wizard helped me to understand if I just had a bit more intention and discipline I could take what I learned, my experiences, my insights . . . my mind . . . and with my mind and strong follow through I could turn the Hawaii Vacation Adventure into earning over $1 million dollars.
That would be my most profitable vacation in my life AND what's even more exciting, The Wizard shared that you can share what you learn with others so they can do the same thing as you do.
Lesson #2 ~ I Am A Great Leader
The #1, most important thing I shared with my team was that they did an amazing job. :-)
The #1, most important thing was to give our clients even better service while I was gone, than when I am present.
Further Thoughts . . . I received so many positive comments from so many people about how great Elise and others did while I was gone. I LOVE THAT! There were also a number of great prospects lined up for me to talk to the day I was back at work. We had great profitability while I was gone and momentum was strong when I came back. I felt relaxed while on vacation and didn't feel there was anything I had to attend to, that my team could not handle. :-)
On the personal side, no one can say I'm over protective or controlling of my children or wife. :-)
Further Thoughts . . . Being the best friend of The Wizard is rough as people seem to think I'm a machine and never make mistakes. This is not true. It's July 20th and I made my 5th mistake this year on vacation. People ask me what some of my other mistakes have been. One mistake I made was that I was 93 seconds late for an appointment. I know . . . it was crushing to me as well. Well, the 5th mistake I made this year is that I wasn't aggressive and forceful enough and my daughter could have been killed. I will not make the same mistake again of being too passive. :-)
Lesson #3 ~ Hard Time Getting Others To Drive Things Forward
The team made great effort . . . still have a long way to go. :-)
Years ago, I was involved in the development of DRIVE & Disciplined (D&D cubed) a working white paper.
Further Thoughts . . . Most people think they are driven and disciplined, because they do not understand the concept of Dimensional Thinking / The NEXT Dimension ~ click here for video & click here for white paper ~ and/or do not apply it as a reflex to how they think.
Action I took / we will take to make sure we fix this next time. :-)
Action Taken ~ Invested over six hours into going back through and enhancing the working white paper with some additional questions and Engineered CLARITY.
Will Take ~ Key team members who really need to DRIVE things while I'm away will read this NEW working white paper and Up/Out. They will also read it again right before I take off again. ~ click here and complete DRIVE & Disciplined (cubed) working white paper ~
Lesson #4 ~ The Value Of Follow Through
Katrina is one of the co-authors of the working white paper titled "Follow Through ~ The Secret To Happiness" ~ click here ~
I read the "Follow Through" white paper years ago . . . but never fully internalized it.
Follow Through Working White Paper
I never deeply asked myself "Most people don't seem to be all that happy and most don't follow through well . . . hmmm . . . I wonder if there is a connection?" Katrina is a single mom and has so much potential, but I wasn't LEVERAGING her 7 T's as I should.
Action I took / we will take to make sure we fix this next time. :-)
If you watch the above video and "don't get it" the reason you don't get it, most likely is that you are a massive "taker" not a "giver" that you think you are. If you resonate with the above video, then get it out to everyone you know and see who comes back and shared that they loved it. Work with those who resonate with this energy.
It's strange . . . it's like, if someone doesn't either invest money or give money generously, they won't earn money?
Hmmm . . . why is that?
Share your thoughts with The Wizard.
Lesson #5 ~ ARRT Isn't Working
I have invested 40 years into ARRT . . . into figuring out what it was and how to make it so easy a young child could do it . . . but . . . it still doesn't work.
Why doesn't it work? People don't INTERNALIZE it's value.
I was wrong . . . on so many accounts!
I thought I understood the value of teams and how to LEVERAGE things . . . but I was wrong. I thought people cared about others . . . but I was wrong. I thought people would SEE how by taking 10 minutes a week, out of the 10,080 minutes a week we all have, that they would care about their 2 ARRT Buddies, but I was wrong. I thought when people presented a problem that they would want to solve it, but I was wrong? I thought people cared about their loved ones and themselves, but I was wrong.
The Solution . . .
Join The Wizard's Community ~ click here ~ AND then get others around you to do so as well. Take your 2 ARRT Buddies, care for them and then study together how The Wizard says you should do ARRT and then DO IT. ~ click here ~
SEE . . . what we didn't realize is that if people aren't investing at least $20 a month into something they probably won't internalize it. NOPE . . . even if they are getting paid a lot of money from their employer they probably won't internalize it. If you were the only one in The Wizard's Community, you would be worth them paying $20 a month. Learn to SEE your true VALUE.
Not to be harsh or anything . . . but the truth is there are 3 reasons why someone will not connect with their 2 ARRT Buddies once a week.
1. Clueless ~ People have never been taught how by helping others they get help themselves. People haven't internalized The 5 Time Management Freedom Fighters ~ click here ~, the value of Thinking Differently to solve our own problems and/or the other 500+ Natural Laws within DNA for LIFE. ~ click here ~
2. Stupid ~ People have not been taught how to deeply internalize their Natural Laws and/or someone hasn't truly discovered their Life Vision or how to live it every day. ~ click here ~
3. Not Caring ~ People do not care about their 2 ARRT Buddies at all. I mean . . . think about it, how much work, how much does someone have to care to invest 10 minutes a week into 2 people?
NOTE: If someone hasn't shared with you that you are clueless, stupid and/or not caring it's for one of two reasons. Reason #1: They are just as clueless, stupid and/or not caring as you are, or maybe more? Reason #2: They see that you are this way and don't care enough about you to tell you.
Lesson #6 ~ We All Are Together (WIP)
This lesson will be a most interesting lesson!
The Best Friend Of The Wizard is working on this one . . . but having some challenges on this.
Hmmm . . . any suggestions?
Hmmm . . . The Wizard's best friend is kind of stuck on this one and The Wizard refuses to help. What's up with that? I thought best friends were there to help and give you all the answers and not make you work harder?
Hmmm . . . maybe . . . if you were to email The Wizard directly, give him the url link and the Lesson #6, share your thoughts and interest in the topic, maybe that will help The Wizard to engage in this topic? You can email The Wizard at: TheWizardsLife55@gmail.com

Lesson #7 ~ People ~ Dimensional Integrity
Do you have integrity? Does your company have integrity? Do people around us have integrity?
It's interesting when you ask people or companies the above questions, what they say. Almost everyone will think / say that they have integrity but others around them do not?
Hmmm . . . interesting?
Why are we able to clearly SEE how others lack integrity and we don't SEE how we lack integrity? Why is it that the larger an organization gets . . . the harder it is for them to have integrity?
Do you ever get frustrated, as a person or small business owner about how everything BIG - big government, big business, big religion, big media, big medical . . . big everything seems to lack integrity?
Action Taken ~ Partner up with "Dimensional Integrity" project ~ click here ~ and their 3.2 million business owner members from the U.S. and around the world to hold BIG accountable for their actions. GOAL: To gain enough fire power and force to where BIG or really anyone will "do the right thing" even if it's not in their hearts to do.
Will Take ~ Partnered up with Jason Miller on "The Art Of Seduction Of The Masses" book and movement and then use LEVERAGE to create a turnkey system, a force that is so powerful that BIG has to listen, not because they have integrity but because they have FEAR and together, we'll LEVERAGE their fear to do the right thing.
