"Hype, hype, hype, and more hype," I thought as I found a seat at this weekend's motivational seminar. "It makes my backside tired." Not being a "morning person" anyway, I was still groggy from having forced myself to roll out for the fifty-mile trip on a dreary, rainy, foggy morning. To make matters worse, I'd overslept and gotten lost en route to the Radisson Hotel at the Cincinnati Airport.

"How in the world does anyone get this pumped this early in the morning?" was the only thing rolling around in my sluggish brain. I found myself a cup of liquid energy and waited for "something" to kick in. It took a little while, but it really is just about impossible to sit in a room full of happy, enthused, smiling, jacked up people and remain lethargic for very long. I guess that's what it's all about, after all.

Then the success stories began to filter into my brain and break my preoccupation barrier, and gradually, by degrees, the inflation process began. Enthusiasm began to rear its energetic head, and adrenalin began to rush through this sixty-year old body. Sometime before noon I had become infected with the spirit of it all, and by the time the meeting was over, I had been electrified—super-charged.

Called hubby on the way home and decided we would eat out. My husband, I discovered, had been electrified himself—he's naturally bubbly anyway—we reinforced each other, pumping away all through the meal, and we hardly noticed the food we ate.

We had to part for a short while to tend to other business, and around ten o'clock we decided to watch a couple of short videos on a new opportunity. And after that we put in the long video we'd been given, called "Time to Soar."

Wow! We couldn't turn it off, and by this time it was well after 1:30 in the morning. We just kept watching it—four riveting speakers—one after another. And no hype! It was pure meat, and we ate it all up! And then we stayed up until after five o'clock talking about it!

Talk about a day full of pumping! Is it any wonder we're "wired" today?

I don't care who you are or what you're doing now. And it matters not if you are lame, blind, an amputee, or whatever, YOU CAN MAKE OF YOUR LIFE ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE! DO YOU HEAR ME OUT THERE??? ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE!!! We have a smorgasbord here in America—and on the Internet—and in many other countries. We have been blessed abundantly—all of us here in America especially—if you have life, you have hope.

We are all about helping people to realize the potential that's lying dormant in each and every one of us. We are about teaching, coaching, motivating, inspiring, mentoring, and sharing whatever we have with whoever is teachable, coachable, motivatable, inspirable, and mentorable (are there such words?). Notice the qualification in all that. We are NOT interested in helping anyone who is not UPBEAT. We don't want to have to pull anyone up out of their boots every day. That's not what we're about.

We are looking for people who have vision, motivation, and the drive and desire to better themselves and to succeed at whatever they envision doing. Your goal can be anything from achieving career objectives to freedom from debt to enhancing your lifestyle, or any of the myriad possibilities in between. Whatever your goals are, everyone's dream is to have the freedom to achieve them.

We would like to change the world one person at a time and help that person to do the same, kind of like one big chain of love and inspiration. My husband is a talker and a "people" person. I am more reserved and quiet, more content to talk and write online. He knows nothing about computers or being online and has no interest in it.

So if you have any ideas to share, or if you want to run something by us, or if you have just anything at all you'd like to discuss, just email me, and we'll go from there and try to help all we can.
