I just had a business coaching call with two of John Assaraf’s coaches – Adrian Ulsh and Bob DeWitt – Wow! (You’ll remember John Assaraf and his story about visionboards from the hit movie The Secret).
After the call I was thinking about all of my years of training in fitness, martial arts, meditation and healing … and what I realized is that at every step along the way I had incredible teachers who helped me become the best that I could be.
There’s no way I could have learned what I know from books and videos. What it took was direct contact with someone who had walked the path before me – and understood what it would take to get me where I wanted to be. (We certainly can use books and the like to enhance what we’re learning – but the coach/teacher is essential).
Anyway, after the call I realized that I have studied enough about internet marketing and online sales to be able to speak the language and make a little progress … but to fully understand and organize the EXACT steps that I need to follow to bring Satori Method (my life’s work) to the most people possible … well I need help!
I’ve made a lot of progress on my own and I’m proud of my efforts and the inner desire to offer something that can help people along this journey we call life. But now it is time to ask for help. And that’s what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve put my ego’s need to DO IT ALL to the wayside and started sending out the clear intention that I am open and ready to learn from the ‘masters’ of business.
Today I know this: business mastery is no different than self mastery. It’s all ONE. If you can’t properly offer and place your product or service where others can see it AND understand what you are offering … well then you’ve done both you and them a disservice. But if you can, well that’s when the magic happens – and that’s exactly what I plan to do. I just got goose bumps when I wrote that!
My mind-body-spirit studio is a beautiful place. Beautiful students, staff, teachers, equipment, ambiance, etc. But the only way I was able to help make it beautiful was by learning more about business and how to better provide for my students. Now I have an awesome training environmet for well over 400 students. For me business mastery equals the abiltiy to create an environment for self mastery – online and offline.
I think I mostly wanted to share the message that asking for help and being a ’student’ is essential if you want to reach your full potential. Do your best, create, invent, re-invent … but ask for help when you need it.
BTW – after my call with John Assaraf’s amazing OneCoach coaches I recieved a call inviting me to become a teacher for Brian Tracy’s new online learning center called iLearningGlobal.tv. Another WOW! What a priviledge to be invited to be a part of his organization. Seems to me that when you are open and humble to life that everything that you need just seems to fall into place

P.S. If I can help you reach your health and fitness goals I would be honored to assist. That’s where I have focused attaining mastery for most of my life. I have created a free Online Community for people to learn more about Satori Method. It’s new, about three weeks online now, but we already have 70 members. Content is going up everyday and there are a few videos for you to see, but the bulk of the video content is yet to come. Our iPhone Apps are in progress too!

Hi, Tristan!
What wonderful news on being asked to teach on Brian Tracy’s online learning center. Brian Tracy is amazing, and truly has self-mastery mastered! I spent alot of time with a recording he made years ago entitled, “Maximum Achievement”, wherein he explains how to manifest one’s desires using various methods, including clearing old resentments, visualization, wanting with passion, and the ability to relax and let go, knowing that whatever it is you desire is on its way. Awesome technology, very similar to The Secret and The Law of Attraction teachings..
Again, congratulations! You deserve fabulous success!

Thank you Monica.
I believe we all resonate with ‘truth’.
The teachings you mention below – clearing, visualization, purpose with passion and the art of letting go – all of them are beautiful methods to uncover that truth that lives within us.
We all love and seek truth – because it is consciousness – that is what we are made of, and from.
So many teachers – one truth :-}

Nice post…I agree that the most challenging part for being humble and being a student is the ego.
Do you teach QiGong in a class setting in Austin? How would one learn more?
As for the internet marketing, I’ve been doing some consulting on Elance of late and may be able to offer assistance in regards to organic search engine results and email marketing.
Best,
Trent
Hi Trent. I usually teach Qigong in seminar format. I’ll probably offering one this summer.
Next time we meet let’s definitely talk about your SEO finds
