To Interested Friends and Associates Soon-to-be Friends
of Steve Thomas, JumpStart Training Mentor and Personal Coach
OK .... I have a special announcement and special opportunity for a select few of you ....
Many of you know me well from the JumpStart calls. You know from personal experience about my commitment to deliver education, value and skills.... Here is what is new:
I am conducting a special event, and maybe two events congruently. Though I would like to think differently, what I am offering will NOT be attended by all of you.... Nonetheless, described below is the opportunity. You decide:
Event #1: I will be conducting this workshop during the week of September 19th through September 25th. Sorry that this program will last an entire week, however this event is revolutionary. Those of you who attend will see what I mean -- you can tell others, and you can be the staff for a future event if you qualify. Those who will attend, will be arriving in Salt Lake City Monday, September 19, before 5pm and you will be returning to your home Sunday night, Sept 25th. This workshop is a unique Personal Power workshop; this week long workshop is FREE -- there will be no normal registration fee. There are, however, a couple of strings attached. Not a lot, but a couple of strings. I'll explain more below.
What you will learn/experience: You will learn and practice SKILLS (not just intellectual ideas) -- these skills will be based upon everything I have learned an d developed about personal leadershiop with humility over the last 30 years and more. You will learn:
-- how to communicate more effectively in any situation in your life -- in your personal relationships in and with your family, in your busines and work, and in your community and church. Learn how to communicate with crystal clear accuracy together with empathy and appropriate compassion. And learn how to Negotiate WITHOUT COMPROMISING yourself or another person.
-- how to recognize belief systems that work FOR you, and belief systems that work AGAINST you -- in yourself (and in others, too!);
-- how to identify and structure postive behaviors and good habits; how to identify and DEstructure negative behaviors and bad habits; how to come out of the "fog" and overcome all transe behavior (and all behavior is based in a transe) -- identify and overcome fear and other forms of unconscious behavior.
-- how to be the master of your word, literally -- how to TELL THE TRUTH (in appropriate ways) no matter what; how to do what you say, when you say you will do it; how to know how and when you can count on yourself to show up and carry the load, and how to know when others can count on you as well; how to act and fulfill your commitments without "social pressure" and "guilt." Act just from your pure Being, because you SAID YOU WOULD. And, how to recognize when others are lieing to themselves -- even when they don't know it.
-- MORE!
This goal and mission of this workshop: This workshop will teach you how to use self hypnosis and other daily skills (see resources below) to acheive your goals and dreams by overcoming the automatic behaviors that are getting in your way. This event is not sponsored by any group with which I may be associated or affiliated. The mission of this event: that you may learn and practice the skills that will enable you "to experience the full measure of your creation." Sound lofty? Well, you will leave this event with the answers clearly resonating in every cell of your being -- and in your daily behaviors, if you like.
The resources from which you will learn: 3 forms of hypnotherapy, Gestalt therapy influenced by John Bradshaw and Stephen Wolinsky, basic principles of Quantum Mechanics and physiology (mainly "Medicalhypnoanalysis"), the Kybalion, the Kaballah, Vipassana ("pristine" teachings of Guatama Buddha, the "awakend one"), tantric buddhism (Tibetan Buddhism), the Bible, with major influences Native American ceremony (including the medicine wheel and the sweat lodge) -- all aspects are excerpted from my forthcoming book, ATTRIBUTES AND ORIGINS OF BEING. More details will be disclosed to those who reserve and/or pre-register. For now, let's just say I resist calling this a "work-shop"; there will be work ... but there will be no shopping; for now, I am tempted to call it "work-emony" or a "ceremony," due to the fact that there is much reference to personal introspection and self-appreciation and awareness.
Who am I? You will have the answer to this question more clearly and definitively than you ever thought possible --- no matter how clearly you've been thinking! Here are some interesting facts, what people have discovered about themselves from attending and particpating in precursory events:
-- When asked: Do you have useful Life Skills and Tools for experincing Personal Fulfillment:
Upon entering, 50% of particpants said were above average; and 90% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 6.7 % "stayed the same".
-- When asked: To what degree do you personally experince Personal Fulfillment:
Upon entering, 50% of particpants said were above average or excellent; and yet 90% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 10% "stayed the same".
-- When asked: Do you have the ability to experience a harmonious Family Life:
Upon entering, 62.5% of particpants said they were above average or excellent; and 86.2% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 13.8% "stayed the same."
-- When asked: Do you have the ability to promote Personal Fulfillment in members of your Family:
Upon entering, 62.5% of particpants said they were above average or excellent; and 75% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 25% "stayed the same."
-- When asked: Do you have the skills to get a long with people in your career or work place:
Upon entering, 71% of particpants said they were above average or excellent; and still 62.5% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 37.5% "stayed the same."
-- When asked: Do you have the ability to accept changes in your life:
Upon entering, 62.5% of particpants said they were above average or excellent; and 70% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 27% "stayed the same."
-- When asked: Do you experience Personal Fulfillment in your relationship with God as you understand God:
Upon entering, 62.5% of particpants said they were above average or excellent, 12% said they were below average; and 75% of graduates said they now have MORE or MUCH MORE and only 25% "stayed the same."
How much $$$$ do I pay to attend?: This is so special an event for me, that I will not charge a "tuition" fee. To attend, you must:
-- It is intended that the expenses for future events will be paid by those who have attended. Since this is a relatively new venture you, as a particpant, will be expected to pay your own expenses to attend, including travel, sleeping rooms, incidentals and meals (special low lodging rates have been secured); even the instructor and all staff will be volunterring their time and paying their own expenses to attend -- and the instructor and staff will be ATTENDING the event to improve themselves by and while they are providing assistance to those who attend.
-- Since others may not have sufficient means to take off work and pay their expenses, scholarship contributions will be accepted graciously and, when available, will be distributed annonymously to those who apply and who have the need.
-- After the event, if you see value in the event for yourself, and you care that others may attend, donations will be accepted. And, it is intended that the workshops will be offered regularly and free forever.
-- An appropriate nonrefundable deposit will be paid by those who make reservations to attend (to cover the meeting room and workbooks and supplies); after the event, the deposit will be returned if requested for any reason, or will received as a donation for this and future events.
Event #2:
Plan A: Event #1 could run evenings on Monday through Thursday, and all day Friday and Saturday, and till 3pm on Sunday. This schedule will be time for an Event #2 which could run from 9 to 5 Monday through Thursday (or Tuesday through Thursday). This event will be presented by me and a couple of real estate brokers whom I know quit well. Each of whom have completed (and staffed, in some cases) precusors to Event #1 described above. These are good people. Here is the proposed plan:
I will present "Writing and Closing Offers that Work" (residential and commercial real estate)
Another residential broker will present "Lease Options on Residential Investment Real Estate Properties"
Another commercial broker will present "Buying and Inspecting Commercial Investment Real Estate Properties"
There will be a fee for this boot camp, probably, after discounts, of $3495.00.
This boot camp will be optional for those who are in Salt Lake City for the event above.
Some may wish to attend Event #1 and site see Salt Lake during the days.
Plan B: Since Event #1 could run evenings on Monday through Thursday, and all day Friday and Saturday, and till 3pm on Sunday. This schedule will allow some to attend Monday through Wednesday evenings via the internet with state of the art on-line web conferencing. Then, remote attendees can fly into Salt Lake City Thurday during the day in time to arrive and participate in Event #1 live and in person -- and complete Event #1 together with the rest of the group. In this case, there will be NO Event #2.
How to attend: Step 1: email me and tell me if you prefer Plan A or Plan B -- and/or ask your questions. Step 2: I will respond and inform you of a conference call which you can attend and I'll give you a preview. Step 3: You can if you will attend.
Well, guys ...
