Do You Need A “Super Happy Fun Day?”

I have enjoyed the work of Dean Jackson and John Reese from the internet marketing space for close to three years now. I needed a kick in the butt a couple of weeks ago, so I replayed one of my favourite audio interviews from John Reese and Tony Robbins.

Hang on… I am not going to go in to a long-winded technically explanation of internet marketing theory. Rather, I want to tell you about an incredible concept called “Super Happy Fun Days”.

John and Tony started to speak about this on the audio interview, and Tony wanted all the details. Dean Jackson created the concept, and John Reese would take part in these events when possible. They are good friends. The “rules” are as follows (to the best of my memory):

  • The event was at least 9 hours long
  • Two major activities had to be completed (ie a golf game and/or a movie were typically included)
  • Two meals had to be consumed
  • Other fun activities were completed (to fill in the extra time)

I can “hear the comments” now coming off the page as your read this. Everyone is busy, running  like chicken’s with their head’s cut off. 9 hours of fun is impossible!

It is if you want it to be!

  • How often could you pencil in “Super Happy Fun Days” throughout the year?
  • If nine-hour blocks of time were not always possible, how much time could you commit to?
  • When you look back on your life, will look fondly remember all the work that you did, or the fun, kinship and laughter that you had along the way?

Always remember, if you don’t block off time to do these activities, they won’t get done. Treat them like a business meeting in your calendar. You wouldn’t skip those right 🙂

When Will You Stop….

  • Letting life get in the way?
  • Saying “I’ll do that tomorrow”
  • Thinking “I won’t provide value or inspire others”
  • Having doubts and being uncertain about your abilities

I was lucky enough 2 ½ years ago to borrow several Tony Robbins audio cds from a friend. It was from a series where he interviewed some of the top internet marketers in the world. These incredible people are “to blame” for me finally taking action. They drilled in to my head that my story matters, and my expertise and life experiences can be valuable to others.

Have you been wanting to share your message with others (and make some extra money along the way)?

If so check out perspectives from some of the best in the business:

Two others incredible talents are Eben Pagan and Frank Kern. They do not have go-to websites at this time. But search their names and have a look. I recommend that you get on YouTube and check out videos from everyone as well.
