I for one am thrilled that the seemingly endless US election cycle is finally over!
But in the final week I got to attend a rally in nearby New Hampshire with not one but TWO United States presidents. Talk about historic!
We left the hotel in the dark at 5:30am (that’s a street light above us) and were in line by 5:45am.
How crazy is it to stand for four and a half hours in the freezing cold with 14,000 other engaged voters to attend what turned out to be the biggest rally in New Hampshire history?
Certainly no crazier than the couple from London came to be a part of the election. Talk about passion!
Secret service in sunglasses. Army snipers on the roofs. Helicopters circling over head. An experience I’ll never forget.
A few days later I was on a plane for Phoenix to attend Suzanne Evans’ and Larry Winget’s Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Start Making Money event.
I’ve been friends with Suzanne for four years now so was curious to see first-hand what Larry Winget is all about.
That is besides being a five-time New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, former host of his own show on A&E show, highly-paid speaker for nearly 400 of the Fortune 500 companies, featured in two CNBC specials and having his own PBS special, and is a regular contributor on FOX News, FOX Business and other news networks as a personal development/business/financial guru.
The guy is even more impressive in person. If you haven’t seen him in action, check out his video clips at LarryWinget.com.
Also impressive were the dozens of Changing Course readers, former clients and students I had the chance to meet or see again.
The lesson — never stop being engaged in the world around you.
Among the many blessings I will count this Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the 18 years you have allowed me to make a small contribution to your quest to follow your own road, live life on purpose, and work at what you love.
