Hey Everyone,

It’s been a while since my last report on the Whip it on mastermind group, but I’ll provide a quick summary of the previous events as well as last night’s event.

28th Feb – We had a great night. Had a number of new people attend. Went through our goals and set the new ones. Also started brainstormed and clarified the vision for the mastermind group.

13th Mar – Whip it on mastermind group continues to grow. This week we had a venue change as it was booked out, but Allen Lui was gracious and kind enough to allow us to use his venue in Surry Hills. Did the goal sharing and did some more brainstorming on the vision of where we want Whip it on mastermind group to go. We also had a special guest – Peter Hagerty from the Source Foundation. Peter provided a talk on value and gave us some value exercises which were valuable. For more information on what Peter does or if you wish to contact him, visit http://thesourcefoundation.com.au

27th Mar – Last night was again another AWESOME night. Peter, Audrey, other members and myself had been discussing a number of ideas on where the Whip it on mastermind group was heading and layed out a plan to ensure people get the results they desire. Peter did a presentation last night which laid out some bold new plans. The idea is to profile each member in the group to give us more clarity and certainty on our character. This will lead us to better understand where each of us fits within the Whip it on mastermind group, how we can better work together as a team and leverage off each other towards joint venture opportunities.

The profiling will be done through a 3rd party based on a program from Roger Hamilton on profiling for Entrepreneurs. Normally it costs $100 USD to do this, but Peter is able provide us a saving of $10 USD, so it will cost each individual $90 USD instead and Peter will generously throw in a workbook discussing profiles in detail. More details will be provided as it becomes available.

We’re also looking to have badges made for people for the people who have done the profiling so others can see what other’s profiles are and also wear it to other events. The badge will help others identify your character strengths are for possible joint venture opportunities and also generate interest for the group. The idea is to have this done before Date with Destiny so we’re able to promote the Whip it on mastermind group more.

We’re also looking at doing more of the goal setting more outside of the meetings, and to provide support, we’re offering coaching for those who want it. Peter, Denise and myself will be available for coaching. This will allow us to help the group more as well as helping us develop our coaching skills and adding more value to the group.

We’ve set up some preliminary groups up, and each of the coaches will be contacting those and asking for permission to coach the individual before proceeding. We do apologise if we’ve missed anyone, if you’d like to be coached by one of us, please let us know we’ll shoot those details across. 

Eminis – Traders International
For the second half of the meeting, we were very privileged to have as a speaker. Lachlan Elsworth is an eminis trader who quit his job from the army 6 months after starting eminis. He’s sought internationally to speak on the subject. He’s very passionate about the subject and continues to be very successful 19 months after he first started. His returns in Jan returned 800%.

I meet up with a good friend over the weekend who I haven’t seen in a while and we got talking about a few things. I want to share with you a topic that can make a 2mm difference in your life now which can yield major results down the track. The topic came up when I told him I started gymnastics again.

For those who I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, I’m 34 years; Not quite the gymnastics material people have in mind.

When I say gymnastics, people’s first thoughts are I’m too old and then they think I meant gym or gymnasium where people work out, do weights and get fit. I then have to clarify it’s the sport they see on TV when the Olympics are on. I get a number of reactions from “are you crazy?” to “wow, that’s amazing!” and they ask what made me pick it up.

Well Gymnastics was a sport I loved in high school. I learnt very early from it’s a incredibly demanding sport, where I have a huge amount of respect for those who practise it. Last time I did gymnastics was back in high school. A good 15 years ago. I’ve always wanted to get back into it, but never have. Now that I have, I’m loving it immensely. While I’m still at a beginners level, I’m having plenty of fun, building up the strength again, co-ordination and agility again.

I asked if my good friend would like to join in on the fun, and he started to share how he wouldn’t be any good at it. He shares the same thoughts many would consider to be a gymnast, you have to be young, you learn quicker as a kid, etc.

Not being phased, I reminded him of a few stories Anthony Robbins shares. It started when Tony Robbins had just turned 40 years old, he was started to feel run down. Some of his friends noticed it, suggested to him he’s getting old and he’s not as young as he used to be. Clearly Tony didn’t want to adopt that mindset, so he took a year off looking for people who were 60 and above and have a huge amount of vitality and fitness.

He tells one story where Tony would used get up on stage and coach people on overcoming their limiting beliefs. Tony would ask the audience to close their eyes, and to imagine how a person who was totally fit, ripped and muscular would look like. Once people had the image, he would ask his friend to come up on stage and ask the audience if this is what they had imagined. To give you an idea, the person who walked up looked like he was in his late 40s and early 50s who has an amazing body. What then shocks the audience is how Tony then proceeds to tell the audience the person who stepped up on stage is in his 70s (back then). He didn’t start weight training until he was in his 60s. He now benches 450 pounds (roughly 220kgs) which is more than the average 20 year old kid. Talk about blow people’s minds about age being a barrier!

I also reminded him as adults, we’ve learnt to condition ourselves not to failure and to stop trying. As adults, if something doesn’t work out, we say to ourselves “I’m not doing that again”, but as kids, they don’t care. They keep trying until they succeed. It’s one of the main reasons why they succeed.

If anyone has anything they’d like to pick up, but may have thought they were too old, I’d encourage you to do so. One book that may help someone get back on the right track is called “The way of the peaceful warrior” by Dan Millman. It’s one that I highly recommend. One of the important lessons I got from the book is to do what you love, regardless of the challenges or obstacles which may be in your way.

If you’ve got a story you’d like to share about how you started something late in your years, I’d like to hear about it.

In the mean time, have AWESOME week!
