They say that when you teach something, the learnings hit you that much harder.
And so it is.
I finally made it to my 1st UK XL momentum, and onto the panel of WDMP’s teaching Wealth Dynamics.
Well, being new to this whole arena, an unknown amongst a group of people who to a greater or lesser degree already knew each other, it seemed only natural to expand on who is this new guy, this new WDMP?
And so I told my story.
I first came across XL about a year ago. I was in Las Vegas, and a friend of mine was having a meeting at her office. It was a mastermind group. Well, being aware of mastermind groups from Napoleon Hill’s work, I was intruiged. So I came along and sat in.
It really didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t know the other people, and had no connection to the ideas that they were discussing.
So, being the supporter that I am, I sat there quietly supporting my friend.
Meeting over, we talk no more about it, other than XL would be a network that I may like to become involved in.
So realistically, I still knew nothing.
I fly home to the UK. A year goes by, and I’m due in the USA for another event. Well, I had arraned to stay with my friend in Las Vegas again. It just so happened that Roger Hamilton was in town, and my friend was helping with arrangements. So she brings me along as a guest.
That was it, I was hooked with the pure basics of needs versus opportunities. It seemed like such a powerful approach. So I went along the next morning for a more informal chat and breakfast.
Now I very rarely have breakfast, so when I do, wouldn’t you know it, something special was about to happen.
Ok, so I’m a life member.
I head back home for a month before heading back to the USA for another event. And as a supporter, when you have great friends, you just gotta spend time with them. So I fly via Las Vegas.
It just so happened that I had a couple of days spare, and the 1st ever US Wealth Dynamics Experience was taking place right there in Las Vegas. Now I’m a Las Vegas member, in Las Vegas anyway, so why wouldn’t I go.
Well WDE was amazing. The layers on layers of information, the cycling of the seasons, the energies from the i-ching, the cycles of enterprise, the interaction of the profiles. I’m hooked again. There’s definately value here that I can leverage to create value for myself. There’s learning here that is inspiring, that alligns with my passions and my purpose.
And there, right there in Las Vegas, there’s an opportunity:
Wealth Dynamics Master Practitioner course will be taking place in Bali in 2 weeks time, immediately followed by the 1st ever Wealth Dynamics Acadamy in Singapore.
Ok – Dilemma. I’m confused.
Time to make a decision and commit – to something that I don’t really know anything about. A leap of faith. I wander around a little dazed for the rest of the day. Times moving on, and it’s now or never. I still hadn’t had time to integrate what I had just learned that weekend, and now there is the opportunity of being a Master at it!
And without knowing what I was doing I jumped right in. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? A fantastic holiday in Bali? What’s to lose?
And then there’s the possibility of a return on investment.
I’d done it. I’d actually unconsciously made a decision on an opportunity before I was aware of the six steps to evaluating any opportunity that comes your way. A six step process for deciding “Yes” or “No”.
And now I was teaching it. To a room full of people who have been around Wealth Dynamics longer than I!
So let me make it simple for you.
Six steps to evaluating and opportunity.
1. Does it align with your Passions and your Purpose?
2. Can you create Value from it?
3. Can you create Leverage from it?
(Wealth = Value x Leverage)
4. If it doesn’t work, will failure Steer you or Sink you?
5. Is there a specific Learning in it that inspires you?
6. Is there a Return on the investment?
And here’s what really got me when I arrived in Bali, and began to understand this. When you align your Passions and Purpose with your Talents, Character, Network and Knowledge, it becomes real easy to make that decision. And when you now start saying “No” to opportunities that don’t meet these criteria, and you start to make that space, you actually start to attract opportunities that fit.
Go figure!
