My Journey With Bob Walker

As we are celebrating the one week anniversary of our baby girl, I am glad I took time to rest this weekend. I knew it would take some adjustments on our part with an addition to our family, so I gracefully welcomed whatever change I needed to make. But after a week, I was so exhausted that I had to rest. Otherwise, there was no way I could keep going.

A few weeks ago, we ended our twelve week coaching session with our clients. But before we did, I wanted to get some feedback from them to see the progress they made (if there was any). I was amazed by what they said. It was quite emotional to hear the great breakthroughs that happened in just twelve weeks.

As we were about to wrap up the meeting, Bob Walker (one of our clients) just went: “Oh I almost forgot to say something. I hit my goal of getting $10,000.” I was like “WHAT!!!” What do you mean? He calmly took his cell phone, went on the internet, opened his bank account page and showed it to me. I was speechless. $11,000 were in his checking account. I looked at him like he was a ghost. “Do you mean we have been here for almost two hours, and you forgot to tell us about this amazing news? I asked. Bob just went: “Oh yes, there is more money to come”. The meeting was over.

When I met Bob, he had just left his job of eleven years. He told me that he wanted to follow his passion and become a professional speaker, writer and coach. As we were discussing about his goals, he also mentioned that he would like somehow to earn $10,000 during our coaching program.

As we began the journey and I told him, even though he had money as a goal, to forget about the money and do what he had to do. The money part will take care of itself. He agreed.

So, for about ten weeks, he went through the motions (his own words), and all of sudden, something clicked. He started seeing himself as worthy of success. He started doing stuff that he was not doing before. He started seeing himself as handsome and successful. He said that he started seeing himself as a magician who attracts everything he needs like magic. Guess what! It happened. Money started flowing, people started to call him to offer him contracts. He just spent a weekend in New York working on a great project that, soon, will be taken worldwide. Bob is on something. I don't know what happened to him, but whatever it is, it works. Bob is a new man now.

He is about to start his own radio show, he is on his way to become a professional speaker, author and coach, his life's dream. I am so glad I played a little part in his wonderful journey.

Moral of the story? Do you want to meet my friend Bob? Just think like a magician and I will be coaching you.

Always a pleasure

My Journey to Orillia

We drove a little bit late at night. I had been to this place called Orillia before, but it was about ten years ago. I didn’t remember much about it, other than it was beautiful. Here we were on the road, and there was not much we could see, except a signal on the highway that said “beware of cattle”. We thought it was funny.   By the time we arrived at the hotel, it was almost midnight. I went straight to bed. We had to wake up early in the morning as breakfast was scheduled to be served a six O’clock. There was no way I was going to miss out.‎ You may be wondering what was happening in Orillia. I am glad you asked. A number of months ago, Paul, my business partner, got this brilliant idea, and once he shared it with me I was totally on board. He realized that for us to do what we wanted to do, we must work with partners. These may be service providers, or simply other business owners with goals similar to ours. Paul decided to go out and attend different netwo...

My Journey to my wedding

Where do I start? I don't really know. As I am waiting for my flight at Kigali airport, with tears in my eyes, I am thinking about the last few days. There are no words that can explain what I have experienced in this month of December 2010. As Phil Collins said, it's another day in paradise. The person who said that words are powerful was so right. It took a few words from my then girlfriend, now wife (are you kidding me!!!!), to start a series of events that led me to this moment. She just said: “Honey, this long distance thing is killing me”. Having been in a couple of long distance relationships, I knew what she meant. This time, it was different. I had to do something, otherwise, this relationship would end up like the other ones. I had promised myself to do whatever it took to make this one work. As I hung up the phone, I thought I had to move mountains. I had to find a way to meet her. Originally, my intention was to visit her in July 2011, however, this felt like a cent...

My Journey with a Bestseller

Two weeks away from writing (among other things) are now enough. I am back to you… I am getting into the podcast listening world and I am really mad at myself. How in the world was I late to the party? There are powerful podcasts out there, and on various subjects. It is like an all-you- can- eat buffet (you know my well-established relationship with food).  Just last week, I was into productivity podcasts and what I learned was so valuable that I now feel I want to turn my life upside down and start everything from scratch (maybe it would be unproductive but it is worth the try). Anyways… I am here to talk about something different. I can now brag and say that I have a bestseller friend. You don’t believe me? Here is the proof: Bonjour Patrick, J'ai écrit le livre "Introverts: Leverage Your Strengths for an Effective Job Search". Il est devenu #1 sur Amazon pendant le premiers 10 heures et a reçu le statut de Bestseller le 1er Juillet That is a...
