Sean Stephenson speaks at MindValley to a standing room only crowd 1

Our best Awesomeness Report yet. So when I asked Sean to come to hope on a 25 hour flight to Bali to spend a few days with us Sean agreed on one condition. He wanted to really create an impact on the lives of the MindValley people he would meet and speak too.

Sean did 5 amazing speaking sessions for us in Bali but he saved his best for last.

Back in our office this Tuesday after 3 days in Bali, Sean did an amazing hour long presentation on "How to Manifest the Impossible"

I'm a speaker too, and I've seen many of the greatest speakers in the world on stage. But seeing this 3 foot tall man in a wheelchair dazzle and sway the audience is something else. Sean dove into our hearts and left with ideas and views that will stay with us for a long time.

Stephanie Chai speaks at MindValley 0

For today's Awesomeness Report I decided to bring in a speaker from a totally different genre. Rather than an author or personal development leader I invited Stephanie Chai to share her story of success.

Stephanie is a local actress and model whose face is recognizable on billboards across the city. Next week she's actually in a movie with Sean Penn and Naomi Watts. But makes her special is her brilliant sense of humor, smarts and radiant personality.

She shared the story of how she built her career from scratch, became a financially independent at the age of 23, and got into property investing.

Stephanie described MindValley as being back in her international high school. Where else can you find 15 different countries represented in one single room.

John Assaraf, of “The Secret” visits MindValley 0

Last week it was Robin Sharma, this week it was John Assaraf who stopped by.

John was in Kuala Lumpur to speak at an event for a couple of heads of state, including the Prime Minister. He was also kind enough to swing by our office and spend time with the crew. Mike and I were on Necker Island during this time so we missed John, but it was a real treat for many of the MindValley crew to meet him.

Robin Sharma, “The Monk who Sold his Ferrari” drops by MindValley 0

Robin Sharma, one of our favorite authors stopped by MindValley today. Robin was in town to address a  business conference and was nice enough to swing by to watch our Awesomeness Report, sign autographs and say hi to the team.

I read Robin's book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" some time around summer 2007. It sparked an idea in my head. At that time we ran a website called "The Goldman Method". It was based on the meditation programs by Burt Goldman. After reading Robin's book,  the idea of  the "Western Monk" captured my imagination and we renamed the site and the product "Lessons from an American Monk". You can see it now on TheAmericanMonk.com. The result was a massive boost in sales. TheAmericanMonk.com grew into a million dollar business within it's first year and to this day is one of MindValley's most profitable ventures online.

Thank you Robin for your kindness and inspiration.
