Just got back from LA and the Peak Potential Train the Trainer (TNT)course. It was 5 intense, lllloooonnnngggg days of training. We usually started at about 9 AM and ended around midnight. We learned how to and began to develop a course that we choose to work on.
One of the first things I had to do in the course is choose what to work on. We started with a list of things we were interested in and then were asked to choose one. I choose to work on the Inventing and Reinventing a Fun and Joyful Retirement seminar I have been thinking about this a lot this year but the idea first came up for me in 1998 and was promptly forgotten about.
So, needless to say I spent a lot of time thinking about this and working on the idea this last week. One thing you do in the course is come up with your course objective and even present a segment to fellow participants. Of course, you are suppose to be using all the accelerated learning techniques you have been learning and using all week long.
Among other things it helped me see how much I could get done in a short amount of prep time. Two nights in the course we did OUTRAGEOUS night. You had ninety seconds to sing and perform a song of your choice. When I first heard the request I had no idea what OUTRAGEOUS meant. Of course, it meant different things to different people. And without giving away any secrets some people were REALLY OUTRAGEOUS. There was every kind of costume and no costumes...just use your imagination. Needless to say by the end of two nights of performances you learn alot about what OUTRAGEOUS use to mean to you and what it means now.
The course was GREAT fun and I met a lot of wonderful people. My friend Phil and I from Phoenix tried to gather cards from people in the course from Phoenix. I gathered a few but know there were many others in the course. Our plan is to start some kind of Millionaire Mind Master Group or TNT Master Mind Group in Phoenix. Phil and I will talk and get that going soon.
My plan for today is to get a Never Too Old Facebook group started. This will be the place where I can get others who are interested in the conversation to share their thoughts and ideas. The subtitle will probably be Retirement the Ultimate Playground. These will work unless we come up with some better ideas. My plan is to take the next several weeks to distinguish the major ideas for this course or courses and how it will be delivered and where. One of my major goals is to make this work for as many people as possible...even if they can't get to a certain place at a certain time.
Thank the Universe that I didn't just loose everything I had written already this morning. For the first time, I am blogging on my back porch...beautiful Fall weather and I can see that I need a better plan for my mouse. It is mostly not working. This is a GREAT space to begin my day...I just need to upgrade to make it a better workspace.
So that's it for today. More to come.

Getting ready for TNT in LA
Stu and I are off to LA for some FUN and a course for me next week.
The course is Peak Potential Train the Trainer (TNT). One of the requests they sent out this week is to get a CD of a song that you want to perforn and sing along with during the class. Also, a costume for the performance.
First, I have to admit I DID NOT WANT TO DO THIS...but I gave that up and made a plan. After considering several selections, I chose a song, sung by Doris Day and a few other people...High Hopes or the Rubber Tree Song. It is a little corny but the lyrcis are fairly easy. I have practiced and am getting tired of the song whirling around in my head. I'll be glad when this part of the course is over.
Finally got a printer working on my newest laptop yesterday. That was no small accomplishment. After I upgraded my Vista nothing would work. Alas, we tried the last printer in the house and it worked. So, Stu and I swapped printers yesterday.
Now I just have to get use to this computer, files, etc.
The trip to Texas was good but LOTS of driving. Had three classes in Pearland (near Houston)and got some medical appointments out of the way. We will be going back around T-Day.
Probably won't be posting must this week but will be bringing computer.
That's all for today.
