Brad Duncan Edmonton Visit Reflection

Posted on by

Before I even get into the evening let me start with the morning.  I know the last time Brad came to Edmonton people were lined up 9 hours before.  Okay, so I thought maybe going at 5am I’d be first in line and get the front row. Well I was mistakenly WRONG.  There was one person who lined up 28 hours before. You heard right, they lined up at 4pm on Monday afternoon in order to listen to a successful man speak on Tuesday evening at 8pm.  Call it crazy, call it insane, call it what you will but that is dedication.  So was I second? Nope, not even third or fourth in line by the time 5am came around. I was 18th! HAHA.  Yeah I guess the bar has been raised.  I won’t go into the details of the day but it will be one to remember, one to add to our story when we get to tell it.

So how the heck to do I sum up 6 1/2 hours of pure inspiration, success, and motivation?  I can’t.  To be honest I really cannot and there is no way I can do justice with what I’ll say here.  It was something that you had to experience.  What was great about what Brad talked about was it applied to everyone and not just what we do.  There were things Brad said that everyone could apply to their every day life which just shows the kind of servant heart he has.

I think the biggest thing I took away from last night was to not let anyone steal your dream.  What does that mean?  Means no matter what kind of dream or goal you have set for your life don’t let someone tell you that you can’t. ‘Can’t’ is a negative/broke person’s word.  ‘Can’t’ is for the weak minded people that just use excuses for their failures and they try to bring you down by telling you that you cannot do something.  Another thing more related to our business is that every business has negative stuff about it, someone is always willing to write something about anything.  Check out one of the largest companies in the world, Wallmart, and do a quick search on Google about how many law suits they’ve had.  All successful companies have this and Amway Global isn’t the first OR the last.  One more thing I heard that really made sense is when you listen to someone and they say they are exhausted, have a look at their life and I bet they are not prospering or achieving the things they set out in life.  Successful people who are actually moving forward in their life don’t use the excuse of being exhausted.

Now did I agree with everything that Brad said last night? Of course not. I don’t think Brad expects everyone to just follow every single thing he says and again I don’t believe in everything he says and that’s okay.  However I will listen to a lot of what he has to say about this business and how to move forward with my own business.  He’s done it with less product, harder times, less mentorship, less coaching, less everything.  He’s edified our coaching in such an amazing way because our leadership is unlike all others in this industry.  I’ve talked about it before where our leaders are building this with integrity, with honesty and with a great foundation. 

There were a lot of great things that Brad talked about and some I’m still processing because there was so much he talked about.  He did a great night owl afterwards where he answered a lot of questions people had.  Questions about his life, his struggles, his vision, people’s specific struggles, and so much more.  Brad has such a huge servant heart and did not have to stay up until 2:30am talking to us that’s for sure.  He does it because he loves it.  You cannot fake 6 1/2 hours that’s for damn sure!

Don’t let ANYONE steal your dream!

Outside And Loving It – Brad Duncan Line Up

Posted on by

So yeah we got booted outside.  Not because we were roudy or rude or anything like that.  We got booted outside because there are so many people lined up that the hotel cannot hold everyone inside waiting.  So they kicked us outside.  I just ran home to put on some fleece pants, down filled jacket and ear muffs.  HAHA. 

This is awesome. I mean really where else on this planet do people do this to listen to success?  Sure people line up for boxing day, movies but really what do you get out of it?  2 hours of entertainment.  We are getting success principals that will last a lifetime.  So will I complain about being outside?  Not at all.  It just adds to our awesome story we are building!

Good Morning From the Brad Duncan Line Up

Posted on by

Good Morning! Got up pretty early this morning thinking I’d be first in line before tonight’s main event.  Sadly no, I’m 17th in line when I got here at 5:00 am.  It will be worth it though and worth it for the guests we having.  We are really doing this for our guests so that they get great seats and well for us as well :)

Its going to be a great evening.  Well worth the 15 hour line up before hand!

Some might call it crazy, I’ll call it being fanatical :)

If you are by the Ramada today and want to bring me a XL Double Double from timmies that would be awesome :) haha

Brad Duncan Visits Edmonton Again

Posted on by

Mr. Brad Duncan will be in Edmonton this upcoming Tuesday and to say I’m excited or pumped for this would be an understatement.  Last time Brad was in town was October of last year and I was not building the business at that point.  It was held at the Horowitz Theater at the University of Alberta which holds around 720 people and with how many people came some had to be turned away because there was no room.  This time it will be held at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Center with seating for 1200.  This room will be packed and it’s just awesome to see the growth from October in this Alberta Market.  Sure not all of those people are business builders but to see that type of growth with guests and business builders is amazing. 

Brad is a very charismatic person who will make you laugh, make you think about your life, but most of all will inspire you regardless if you are building this business or not.  Brad’s story from where he came from to where he is now is truly an inspiring one.  I’m excited to hear what he has to say this time.  Last time he was here the night owl for all the business owners went until 3am I believe.  Some great teaching for sure.

We have quite a few guests coming to see him, people that are interested to learn what we are doing.  Most of them we are not prospecting for this business they are just curious of what we are doing and what better person to tell them then Brad Duncan.  If you get a chance to hear Brad speak I highly suggest you take up the offer.  Like I said, you don’t have to be building this business or interested in building this business to take something away from what he has to say.

I’ll be blogging from the line up on Tuesday as people will be there lining up bright and early.  Some people will be lined up 12 hours before he even speaks.  Crazy, but that’s how much respect people have for him to have that “Front Row” Mentality.

Launching People Into Business

Posted on by

I’m always excited for when we launch people into business.  For us we do not just launch anyone into business.  The Alberta team does things a bit more differently and its that difference that is catching the attention of people like Brad Duncan and the rest of people in World Wide Dreambuilders.

We’ve turned people away from building the business as well as people have also disqualified themselves from working with us.  As you’ve seen from my previous posts we are about building a highly accountable, motivated team that wants more to live then the average.  They want to achieve dreams and goals bigger then what their current income can afford.  They want to achieve the dreams they had when they were kids, and why shouldn’t they?  Why shouldn’t people have have those types of dreams?  The reason why people don’t is because they only have dreams their income can give them or their credit can give them.  That’s sad and that’s something we help people get out of their head.  You CAN dream big, so find the means to do it!  We have that.

When we launch someone into business we really spend a lot of time with them.  We don’t just “sign them up” and then leave say here you go! have fun.  Maybe some people have but that is NOT US!  We are about investing time into people who are willing to be coached and mentored so they can achieve so much more.  True, there is a business model that we attach to all this coaching and mentoring, there has to be otherwise you have nothing to apply what we’ve taught you.  When people get it, they get it, they really do and they are all in.  They are the 2% of the population that understands there is more to live then the average.  They REFUSE to be part of the 98% of people out there who just live each day the same as the last day, over and over and over again.

I cannot wait to launch more people who have the right attitude, desire and willingness to do whatever it takes to obtain the things in life they want.  Its these people we are excited to work with and these people we will be spending a lot of time with because they deserve it!
