So jazzed that tomorrow we get to talk with another one of my wise and inspirational mentors, Michael Port. It was literally a year ago this week, that I was getting really fired up to pack up and head to New Hope, PA, to attend a 4-Day mentoring program with him and 20 other “entrepreneurs.” I was not 100 per cent sure if I would invest in this at first. I knew I respected his knowledge, read some parts of his books (truth be told, at the time I applied to the program, I hadn’t read any cover to cover – but that is more my own ADHD, than anything), I’d been on some of his always-brimming-with content-Think Big Revolution calls for business owners, and I just knew of him for a while. I had a couple of questions for Michael before deciding if it was the right timing, the right format, etc., and he called me back. I thought it would be 5-10 minutes, but we talked for over 35 or 40. I thanked him profusely for his time, and he said, “Well, why wouldn’t I want to spend the time I need to with you?” I said, “Well, shouldn’t you be chit-chatting with Seth Godin or Tim Ferris or someone like that?” He said, ” I could do that, sure. But you are the reason I do what I do. I spend time with the people I serve.” He was being sincere. He just is. Needless to say, I decided to go to New Hope. And I learned a ton, affiliated with some great people, and shortly after returning, launched my own weekly community, which was just one small thing catalyzed by that process. And I’m still applying things I learned, a year later. JOIN MICHAEL AND I FOR THE CALL, and get your own shot of thinking big! Who could not use that?!! Info here, and see you then!!
Dial In: 1-712-432-3100 / Conference Code: 960421 . You can mute with *4, but you will WANT to ask some questions at Q and A. I assure you.
Ah, yes… the inspirational author of the Contrarian Effect and Book Yourself Solid!
I’m more than a little jealous. He’s a popular figure in the circles I travel in.
Hey Sean. Yes, Michael is a wonderful resource, his work is timeless. Not to mention just an all around good guy. Hopefully you caught the recording of our call. Thanks for commenting!
