Many of you know this old story about the guy in Africa that wanted to become a Diamond merchant. In short he sold his farm to pursue his dream and went throughout Africa panning for diamonds. After a few years he went through all his money and in discuss plunged into a river and committed suicide. What a waste. Meanwhile back on the farm… the one the guy sold the new owner had a friend over for dinner and the guest noticed a large crystalline rock on the mantel. With a closer look he almost passed out as he asked the farm owner about its origin. The farmer said “That old thing, I found it in the river that runs across my land. There are hundreds of them. Why what is so important about it?” The guest informed his friend that the stone on the mantel was a diamond and probably one of the biggest ever found. That land became the most profitable diamond mine in Africa. The new land owner became a multimillionaire in a very short time. Of coarse the moral of the story is that wouldn’t it been better for the first land owner to have learned what diamonds looked like and maybe checked out his own land first. You see we all have treasures in each of us but we just need to look for them, bring them to the market and offer them. I hope you will invest in your own personal development to locate your Internal gifts to bring to the market. I would love to hear your story of how you brought your gifts to the market and created wealth for yourself. I know that when I created my Accelerated Learning DVD’s that was just bringing to the surface a hobby of mine and found that most of us need to process more information in less time.

This week I am going to Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer’s SuperConference in Nashville so I hope to bring some good information about what I am learning.
To your wealth.
