Moving on up...taking the next step

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.

In joyful partnership,

Cathy
