Are you available March 1st?Sent Tuesday, February 21, 2012 ?

Hey...hey...hey, How was your evening? 
Mine, AMAZING!!! 
Want the really personal details? I had a delicious meal (this time much earlier),
lit some candles, and drew a bath for my fiancé and I. 
Let's just say the experience was better than any dream. 
As I strolled over to my laptop just now, a strong wave of gratitude washed over me. 
Less than 4 year ago I wouldn't have believed that I'd have built the life I now have
for myself. 
"What do you mean Sean?" Four years ago... I really struggled financially, almost lost my
office space cause I could barely pay the rent. 
The girls I dated were extremely volatile and not truly in love with me. 
My book ("Get Off Your BUT"), had been rejected by nearly every major publisher
in the business. 
I wanted to give up so badly. I vividly remember sitting in the rain outside my office
building alone, crying and screaming under my breath... "WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?"
Fast forward to today... 
I am wildly in love (and marrying) the most stable, intelligent, and gorgeous woman I've 
ever met. 
My book is published and on the shelves in bookstores around the world (in several different 
languages). And my message has reached MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people through the power of
Youtube and television. 
So, what do I credit as the source to these powerful manifestations? Simple, CONFIDENCE.
Love, wealth, and vitality all take a strong sense of self-confidence to attain. 
While this might just sound like I'm bragging, I'm really not. I didn't come out of the womb
confident. 
I also didn't just wake up one morning and find confidence under my pillow. 
I worked my tail off for the confidence I now have. 

Sadly, most people, (wrongfully)
This is so UNTRUE. Confidence is a state of mind & being that can be learned. Once a person
embodies true self-confidence (not arrogance) they can't be stopped. 
Actually, confidence is a key that unlocks all of our wildest dreams.

If you want to build wealth, find love, get in shape, or be the best parent to your children,
you're gonna need confidence. 
I've NEVER, and I do mean NEVER met any who was happily successful that didn't have strong
self-confidence.
Here's the problem, most people think that confidence is something you either have or
you don't...far from it. Confidence is a learned behavior. 
In all the presentations I've presented over the past 16 years of speaking,
the #1 request people have is... TEACH ME TO BE MORE CONFIDENT, PLEASE! 
I've taught elements of confidence over the years; however I've never dedicated a massive
amount of time teaching it exclusively, until now. 
If I'm going to achieve my massive life mission, "ridding the world of insecurity", 
it's gonna take teaching (at great lengths) how to generate sustainable self-confidence. 
So, for the first time in my teaching history I'm going to walk all those interested
through a process of generating unstoppable self-confidence. The same self-confidence that
led a fragile little dude in a wheelchair to a life of jet-setting, global notoriety,
true-love, and deep inner peace.
 On MARCH 1st, 2012 at 5:00pm PT I am going to hold a FREE tele-seminar (a course on
the phone) called, "The Key Is Confidence." 
On this program I am going to walk you through HOW I developed my self-confidence, what you
need to do to remain confident under pressure, and how NOT to be, or be seen as, arrogant.
 If this is something you'd be interested in attending please join me. 
I look forward to our time together on March 1st, 2012.
Details will follow in the remaining days.
Be well,
Sean

Does A Dog Have a Mindset?

This is a link to a superb video of a man and a dog doing an amazing thing. I would not have thought it possible. The dog does “the thing” better than I do.

Gratitude. For everything.

This beautiful look at the world through the eyes of very young and old beholders of the world has been spreading across Youtube.   I hope you  will  take it in and send it on it’s way. Think Facebook and any other social media you enjoy.

Is Courage the Same As Self-Confidence?

If an adolescent is self-confident, is she necessarily courageous?

Most of our choices require confidence and courage. It takes a lot of courage to choose to speak up and to let someone know how you feel, especially if that person has authority over you. It takes confidence, on the other hand, to try new things. It takes confidence and courage to put yourself first.

The good news is that most of you can work on pumping their confidence and courage. Here are a few tips on how to do just that:

1. Recognize your confidence and courage. Confidence is that “I can do it” feeling. Chances are, you’ve felt it at some point. Maybe it was right before a game. Or maybe it was just before a test that you studied for thoroughly. Courage, on the other hand, isn’t necessarily the absence of fear. Sometimes, courage is about being scared and going ahead with something anyway.

2. Start small. To build your confidence and courage, take small risks where you have a good chance of succeeding. You could do this, for instance, when you already know you can do two out of the three steps required. By accomplishing this first, you can gain more skills to go after a more challenging goal, like becoming a reading tutor. After you gain confidence by conquering small risks, you’ll feel ready to take bigger ones. Each new challenge can build your confidence even more.

3. Face your fears. Fear can be your gut’s way of warning you, though too many fears can hold you back from taking a risk or going after a dream. Are you afraid of failing? Are you afraid of looking silly? To overcome fears like these, think about their source. Often, fears come from being uncomfortable with the unknown or feeling out of control. But sometimes, the cause is that you don’t believe that you deserve success. Give yourself a boost by telling yourself that you can do it and are worth it.

4. Don’t worry about being imperfect. Lots of girls are on the ‘be-perfect treadmill.” They believe that they have to look and be perfect n order to be accepted and loved. However, this is far from the case. You don’t need to do everything right or be number one all the time. To build confidence, don’t try to be perfect and live on the edge a little. Practise taking risks where you’re sure to make some mistakes.

5. Find heroines. Having heroines comes in great when you’re building up your confidence and courage quotient. Your heroine or role model could be someone in your family, in your community, or in the public eye. She might even be someone from the past. Determine which qualities and values that you aspire to have that your heroine has and then try to develop them for yourself.

It is never easy to develop our courage and self-confidence. However, we have to develop both in order to act in a self-assertive fashion and to take the kinds of risks that will help us to excel in life.
