I’m really looking forward to Gary’s book, getting ready to launch in October…

This guy, along with the entire list of speakers at BIGOmaha was phenomenal and knowing he’s now putting out a “blueprint for success” is even better. I don’t recommend books, nor authors, frequently, but this is a can’t miss.

Also, keep posted to BIGOmaha for Gary and the rest of the speaker’s talks from this year’s event!

Now go out and preorder the book and let’s get Gary on the Top 10 before the book even ships!

So I know we’re 26 days into the New Year but just found some time to put together a few thoughts about where things are at…

2009 is off to a fast start and lots of good things going on…between publicity and pushing ahead with things like Silicon Prairie News and Packs of Promise to our daily family fun with our two great little guys Logan & Cayden…

More to come soon on what’s ahead for 2009 and appreciate your friendship and support!

From us to you!3130313486_e9ec90f650_b

I ran across this post in my box this morning from Robin Sharma’s blog and thought it was worth sharing with my friends and family…so true and something to keep in mind. Enjoy.

“Snowy morning in my hometown. Wish I was on a mountain with boards strapped to my feet (I’m talking about my outright love of skiing, for my dear friends in warmer climates). Thinking about success – and what it’s really all about.

One of the dominant values of our world is that we win once we reach our goals/objectives/mountaintops. We can only feel fulfilled when we get to the end of our quest and arrive at the place we’ve longed to reach. We can call ourselves successful only once we’ve done our dreams. Then we get to celebrate. Because we’ve arrived at our beautiful destination.

But what if that value we hold so very closely to our hearts is wrong? What if the real game is the journey – not the end. What if the very meaning of success is about loving/embracing/experiencing the journey towards our cherished ambitions versus reaching the mountaintop?

What I’ve found in my own life is that it’s what the climb to my loftiest goals makes of me and evokes from within me that’s most important. As I aim high and reach for my dreams, the best within me expresses itself. Resources I didn’t know I had begin to shine. I realize I am stronger, better, wiser than I gave myself credit for. And so are you. Absolutely.

Here’s the thing: These human gifts only begin to appear as you walk towards what you most want. It’s the journey itself that introduces you to the magnificence of all you are. So why shouldn’t we honor it? And maybe getting your goals done, while exceedingly important, is just icing on the cake.”


So it’s on…Gary V’s in! This is going to be fun folks!

Check out the link over at the Silicon Prairie News site for more information…

Stay tuned, as I’ll try and detail the process and we keep moving towards the event next May…

More detailed background at Silicon Prarie News, but loved the quote by Ron Conway:

“Meeting entrepreneurs who are inventing something is very very interesting.  When you meet an entrepreneur you are talking to the future of technology.”
