			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duncan Family Reunion 2010, where to start.  First of all I have to say this was my first Duncan Family Reunion and have now attended all four major functions that World Wide Dreambuilders puts on.  Having been to every one I think this is one is the most raw, heartfelt function out of al of them.  I asked Lindsay how it compared to last year as she attended this one last year as her first major function and she said it’s grown substantially.  So for those who think World Wide Dreambuilders is declining in numbers you have no idea what your talking about because a) your either not involved anymore so have no clue and b) your in WWDB and not attending functions.  I’m not that shocked to be honest as I look at where my sponsors team was last year compared to this year and it’s much much larger. </p>
<p>The amount of speakers speaking at this function was also up and Canada DOMINATED the stage with a ton of speakers.  The talks were not about money, PV, or technical details; it was about where these speakers came from and how they got to where they are now.  I know 8 out of 10 speakers and all of their stories impacted people in so many ways.  For example… There was a crossline couple in another leg of the LOS we belong to that heard our coaches talk on the principals of marriage and what they stood from.  This couple I believe were comfortable with staying common law and not 100% committing to each other; after hearing our coaches speak on where they came from and what they stood for on marriage they proposed to each other that very night. Now that is the type of impact we have on people.</p>
<p>So this function was very different from the other functions I’ve attended because as I said before it was raw and in some ways uncut.  WWDB did not record any of the audio and it’s not available for download like Spring Leadership, Dream Night or FED.  It allows the speakers in this organization to be a bit more raw which is pretty sweet.  Not so much cookie cutter so to speak.   It was also different for us because we were at Moving Up before hand so we were already full in our heart and mind from the speakers before this weekend.  It allowed us to better serve our team this weekend so that we could allow them to get the most out of the function. </p>
<p>I guess the biggest impact on me from the week and the function is how unified World Wide Dreambuilders are now, at least in the Duncan Organization.  There was a lot of drama going on in the last few months and years and now that the weeds have been pulled this organization is able to move forward 100% unified with what seems to be a new life.  There will always be drama, issues, etc… with any organization.  Nobody said we were perfect and we don’t pretend to be by any means.  To be successful in anything you need to fail a lot and learn from that failure and be able to put it in the past.  People that cannot put things in the past will always be left behind.  So as we move forward, this team is unified like I&#8217;ve never heard or seen before.  People that were in the business before me and even my wife said there is a HUGE difference here where everyone is on board, everyone is on the same page and that people are back in “the fight”.  It was awesome to hear the different tone, conviction and passion in the Diamonds talks at both Moving Up and Family Reunion. </p>
<p>The heart in this organization is also very very apparent.  You’ve got people like Brad Duncan and Bob Kummer who every time they talk about their team, what impact we are going to make, family, marriage, etc.. come to tears because of the level of belief they have in this organization.  That is not something you can fake, lie, or miss-represent with those type of emotions.  When you stand on principal and are convicted with what you believe and have the fruit on the tree then that’s someone you want to get around and follow.  Don’t get me wrong we don’t blindly follow anyone but like I said as long as Brad stands on principal then I’ll follow him any day.</p>
<p>This was such an awesome week, so hard to describe but some great things came out of this week.  We are fired up, we have 1/2 of us retiring and not working for another man ever again and we are ready to teach others to do the exact same thing as us.  This is a simple business we are in however takes some hard work (this is not a get rich quick) and dedication but if you actually do what people before you have done you WILL become successful and we are proving that just like every single one of our coaches all in sequence without any gaps. </p>
<p>Looking forward to the upcoming week! Pictures to follow tomorrow!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://expeditionoftruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/eaglereflection_6646.jpg"><img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-width: 0px;" title="Narcissistic Eagle" src="http://expeditionoftruths.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/eaglereflection_6646_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Narcissistic Eagle" width="163" height="244" align="left" /></a> What a way to spend to spend Saturday afternoon and evening with some pretty amazing people.  What do I mean when I say amazing?  I’m talking about people who are living a debt free lifestyle and not living the “I want it now” attitude, people who are genuine and just want to help people get out of debt and want to have people experience the dreams and goals they’ve always wanted.  Amazing people that give back in so many different ways to the community, less fortunate, and those deserving.  World Wide Group has these type of amazing people and that’s why I choose to associate with them. </p>
<p>There is no other company on the planet that cares so much about the following:</p>
<p>Marriages, family oriented, association, unified, great leadership, covenant leadership, focus’s on cardinal rules, dream focused, diversified, foundation, incentives, knowledge, debt free, the list goes on and on and on. </p>
<p>There is a reason I put marriages and family oriented first and second.  Above all else Marriages and Family life are the top priorities for World Wide Group.  I can tell you my job and your job do NOT put those priorities ahead of all other.  They put the $ above everything else and quite frankly that’s BS.</p>
<p>Listen to this amazing mission statement:</p>
<p><strong>World Wide Dreambuilders Mission Statement</strong></p>
<p>To <strong>provide </strong>opportunity, education, training, motivation and the right environment through a Free Enterprise System.</p>
<p>To <strong>encourage </strong>a life of excellence, with “No Regrets” while partnering with each associate around the world in building their own personal business and dreams.</p>
<p>To <strong>impact </strong>our generation and generations to come within the truth that God created man for greatness.</p>
<p>Now THAT is a mission statement.  I am damn proud to be associated with World Wide dreambuilders because it is through this association that we will truly become free parents so that we can build an amazing future together with our family.  It’s being associated with World Wide that will allow us to give this amazing opportunity to other people that we encounter and help them realize and understand their dreams and goals can come true and are not dictated by the size of their paycheque.</p>
<p>Events like this happen every quarter and then there are also three major events that happen through the year and it’s these events that help us instil belief.  Belief is the acceptance of a fact, opinion or assertion as real or true.  That is why we believe 100% in this business because we’ve seen the truth and the facts, despite what the naysayer’s or quitters say.</p>
<p>Really looking forward to Brad Duncan coming to Edmonton April 13th and then Spring Leadership towards the end of April.  Going to be a great month and a bit coming up!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, Magic of Thinking Big took me a bit to complete, but was an amazing book.  However I&#8217;m really excited to get started on &#8220;Success! &#8211; The Glenn Bland Method&#8221;.  Basically how to set goals and make plans that really work.  We really need to put in place these types of success principals because so many of don&#8217;t do it.  It&#8217;s these people that go around and around living each year exactly the same as the last year and they complain why hasn&#8217;t anything changed.  I&#8217;m not willing to live like that.  Time for a change!</p>
<p>The <em>foundation</em> of success: Direction, balance, belief.</p>
<p>The <em>definition</em> of success: &#8220;Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile goals, stabilized with balance and purified by belief.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;m working some long hours, I actually have some time on my hand so why not feed that time with some positive input, because I can tell you the job is not positive input right now <img src='http://expeditionoftruths.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
