It was shown on the last day – Day 3, Sunday…

… I was sitting in the front corner, right side of the Ballroom … I found MY SPOT there… where I could see the stage, right up front, and one big screen..

… so as I was watching this video on the big screen, I was pleasantly surprised! I saw ME in the Video! 🙂

Then I remembered! That was on my Second Event in Chicago, I went up the stage too, and then my camera battery ran out! The other camera was with my son who got stuck in the left side of the stage, while I was walking towards the middle part, and then the right side of the stage (as there were so many affiliates coming up the stage! :-))

So I thought … “Geez …. this is one ‘kodak moment’ and I don’t have a working camera on stage!” LOL! And then I thought to myself … “well… I am SURE that I can go to YouTube afterwards and take screenshots or something… I can get resourceful!”

So anyway, I found some … and then when I got the FREE bonus “Chicago Event Recording” that the Dave & Dave’s gave to us Early Bird Denever Event Ticket Buyers… I was able to take screenshots, HD!

So it worked out!

And then so on my fourth event, in Dallas Texas, I saw this! NEAT! 🙂

I’ll make a confession here … on my first event, in Austin Texas, I actually saw “snippets” of me on the videos, and when I noticed that I might be on a “camera” – I moved so that I can “hear” Dave, but I would move from where the camera was so that I would be “hidden” (that was how scared and wussy I was about being in front of the camera… if I find that video snippet, I will reblog it! Just so I can show you how REALLY scared I was of videos.. I guess photos are fine, but, well, I am glad that THAT fear got kicked out already!). I know… some people are quirky weird like me. 🙂

I always say, when I get asked why I keep on going to these events, I say, I HAVE to be there. It’s like I NEED to be there.

It’s like my breath of fresh air. My taste of three days of ALL POSITIVE energy surrounding me. It carries me through the next 90 days, in my opinion. I don’t know how many people feel the same way. But that’s how I feel about these events.

And the pictures that I take? They serve as INSPIRATION for me, a visual reminder that there’s work to be done, and if you are in a world marinading in negativity and trouble (because you are constantly troubleshooting), you need to have SOMETHING that would DRIVE you to do what you need to do!

We all have our unique stories of how we found Empower Network. But I believe that we STAY for the same common reason – we believe in the vision – it is better to be unified than right.

We can all try to transfer “skills” but unless a person is willing to “learn it and apply it at the same time? Then it means nothing.

But we can all transfer HOPE.

On my One Year Anniversary here at Empower Network, what can I say, am I a better person today, in my opinion, than last year?

1000% yes! I feel more empowered, I found my voice at Empower Network, I have been blogging daily since… (and I have two blogs, one is my Empower Network blog and the other one is my AddInvestmentGroup blog).

I committed myself to this and so I am still here. 🙂

I blogged about “an intention” I had, a dream I had last year, and I blogged about it… and ironically .. I am going to hit that outcome – it didn’t matter how, but I believe I am GOING to hit it! 🙂

So I am so glad I was so very candid in ALL of my blog posts – I have been asked / emailed by people at EN (who subsribe to my newsletter) – asks me how I can blog so much?

I blog from my heart. (And I have a big heart – broken way too many times! LOL! God fixes me and heals me all the time). Like what Dave Wood always say, “we will get hit in a fight” – it is what we do AFTER that matters.

This is an Online Business – but in reality, the Empower Network is really a Personal Development company disguised as a Money Making Machine!

I believe this is the perfect vehicle to earn money online. We are not really in competition here at Empower Network – because we are all creators here – creators of content, may it be a blog post, or a video, or a media file… we are creating stuff here. (Well, except for those who plagiarize! :-))

It’s what we share and what we become. I have shared this tip with people – as I learned this from a message I got on FB.. I believe it was from Aki. He said that if we are to be “known” by other people, it’s much easier to just be real about who you are, what you believe in, what pisses you off, BE REAL and authentic, not everyone will like you, but at least those who do, like you just for who you are. Well, he wrote something like that which made sense to me.

Also Vick teaches something about what you stand for, and what you don’t stand for. The Dave & Dave’s teach getting real and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable – it takes courage to go out there to be yourself.

In every transformation a part of us have to die. Stop being constantly worried about being judged – you will be anyway, it’s what you do with your transformation that matters more.
