Is This Right for You?

If you’ve taken a good look at the information on this site (especially the notes from past participants) and you’re still wondering whether this is right for you, here are two questions you might ask yourself.

Am I the kind of person who does well in the workshop?

If you’ve read this far, I have a hunch you share the qualities I’ve come to admire in those who have participated:

  • A genuine desire to learn, which may extend to questioning the conventional wisdom.
  • High aspirations, even a hint of idealism (usually combined with a sense of humility).
  • A large view of the world. You think of your next chapter as a calling, not just a way to pass the time.
  • Sincere respect for others — and a desire to influence people to bring forth their best values and highest potentials.

Many who participate are ready for a major advance, or what we call in the workshop a “big idea.” (Often it is only revealed during the course of our time together, so this is not a “prerequisite”! These are extraordinary people, but often my job is to get them to own up to how great they are.)

Can you imagine your life with this thrust added to what you already have going for you?

I hear from people that one of the reasons the workshop is so powerful is because of the lengths to which people go to be part of it. It’s wonderful to have folks like this along on my (and your) path of life.

I think these people have found a rite of passage for themselves when they make this investment in their power to fortify confidence and inspire action. It’s an act that speaks volumes about your faith in the future, in others — and in yourself. And it sends that message to those around you who you most want to encourage and influence.

You’ve gotta believe this is a lot more than a chance to get away and recharge your batteries. You’re going to do something you couldn’t have done without it.

P.S. While writing this note to you, a Cat Stevens song came up on my Pandora station. (No kidding!)

      If you want to say “yes,” say Yes!
      And if you want to say “no,” say No!

To which I might add,

“And if you say “later,” then realize you’ve said No.

That sounds tougher than I mean it. After all, you know what’s best for now for you.

Oh, one more line from that tune struck a chord with me:

      ’Cause there’s a million ways to go.
