It’s no mystery why Boca Raton ended up on the list of choice m2 destinations! Whatever romantic fantasies you might have about Florida, you’ll find them all here; miles of blue water, yachts, palm trees, a toned and tanned beach crowd and a feeling in the air that anything’s possible. The resort location, designed by world famous architect Addison Mizner, looks like a movie backdrop from the glory days of old Hollywood. As we ended the day with powerful insights on quality, style, respect and passion from Gerald Celente of The Trends Research Institute, we could not have been in a more perfect setting. We’ll come back to Gerald in a bit, but first we have to fill you in on a whole day’s rollercoaster ride of inspiration and information. We hope the networks never steal him from us, because our world-class MC and VP of Business Development set the tone for the event with energy and authority that got everyone to sit up and take notice. Andrew welcomed Co-Founders Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey to the stage for their traditional unrehearsed keynote welcome and the m2 was officially underway.
Whenever G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature From Jekyll Island, takes the stage, he makes you feel as if you’re sitting in the living room of your favorite teacher from the best school days you can remember. His humble, kind and humorous style somehow makes the complexities of the Federal Reserve and global banking sound like a political action thriller. We literally started the day with a wakeup call from this seasoned author, scholar and documentary filmmaker. His meticulously researched presentation reminded us why we’re all here this week and why being a part of the world’s premiere wealth creation community matters so much. The chilling bottom line is this; the government and corporate entities we’ve blindly trusted for generations can’t save us. As Kip Herriage likes to say, the truth resonates, and Ed’s theme echoed in the rest of the day’s presentations. To survive what’s next we have to become informed about how the world’s money system really works and that’s what WMI is all about.
Right here’s where the “rollercoaster ride” we mentioned got up to full speed! From G. Edward Griffin’s high-altitude perspective, we immediately plunged underground with WMI President and Co-Founder, Karl Bessey. If country wisdom were a doctor’s prescription, there couldn’t be a more enjoyable way to take your medicine than hearing about Karl’s journey to success from the coal mines of Utah. When it comes to honesty and transparency, it doesn’t get more real than Karl Bessey and once again he reached our hearts as well as our minds. Using real life examples from his first wobbly steps as an entrepreneur, Karl explained how curiosity, optimism and persistence can take you literally anywhere you want to go in life, no matter what your current situation might be. In his signature straight-talking style, Karl reminded us that just about any perceived failure can become a doorway or stepping stone to something new and better.
John Perkins was up next and although the secrets he revealed sounded like something from a spy novel, they were all soberingly true. By exposing the secret connections between world events that seemed unrelated, John made it clear that a pattern of corporate greed since World War II has been systematically putting our personal freedom and safety at risk. As author of the runaway bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hitman, John is recognized around the world as a voice for a new kind of sustainable capitalism. For decades, he was an insider’s insider on the hidden and predatory corporate influences behind global headlines. Today he’s a passionate and persuasive advocate for an entrepreneurial system based on compassion, creativity and innovation. As we create success and wealth in others through the WMI community, John’s message of hope to us was that amazing things can happen when we concentrate our passions, talents and personal power on a common goal that matters. John kindly stayed on to sign books and pose for pictures with everybody who wanted one.
They didn’t meet backstage or plan this, but as one of the awestruck m2 crowd you’d have never guessed that. As if on cue, Marc Bruner of Falcon Oil and Gas stepped up and carried the electrifying theme of John Perkins forward with practical examples from the world of oil and gas exploration. With the natural ease of someone who grew up in the industry, this self-made billionaire walked us through the life cycle of discovery and technology in the world of energy innovation. We were on the edge of our seats as he made a convincing case that the doom-and-gloomers are wrong and that there is still more than enough recoverable oil and gas in the earth for free nations to achieve energy independence today. Along the way, we picked up on some of the entrepreneurial insights that have enabled him to create such massive profits. Like John, Marc is a firm believer in an abundance mentality and that capitalism can be a powerful force for good in the world if it’s carried out in a spirit of cooperation, partnership and responsibility.
Continuing the rollercoaster ride, Dirk Smith, one of WMI’s newest alliance partners, shifted our point of view from the theoretical to the practical. In his fun, personable style, he showed us what the new WMI Wealth Accelerator is all about. This easy-to-use, comprehensive online money management tool will enable you to eliminate debt, manage your bills, maximize your cash flow and give you a whole new way of looking at money. By following a few simple automated steps, this exclusive WMI signature product will help you grow true wealth by completely revolutionizing the way you approach your personal finances. Dirk’s passionate belief is that each and every one of us can and should learn how to start building equity for ourselves instead of giving it away to bankers.
Putting WMI’s holistic approach to Wealth, Health and Wisdom into action, our new fitness Alliance partner Wendie Pett of Visibly Fit got us out of our seats and moving with a whole new approach to exercise! Wendie rounds out WMI’s powerhouse of health experts with Deanna Latson on the nutritional front and Gwen Olsen opening our eyes to the dangers of prescription drugs. Simply put, Wendie’s philosophy is that your body is your gym. Her entertaining style and innovative approach sets people free from the limitations that block their physical progress. She taught us how to release our excuses and gave us practical proof that a healthy, vibrant, fit lifestyle doesn’t depend on time, money or special gear. As a personal coach, Wendie has taught professional athletes and raw beginners alike that being totally fit in mind, body and spirit has a direct impact on your ability to create true wealth and freedom in your life.
Coming full circle on the day, the whole crowd was energized by the arrival of Gerald Celente. While every m2 speaker was magical in their own way, we instantly knew we were in for something special when Gerald grooved his way onto stage with his own hand-picked walking music. This author, speaker, futurist, founder of The Trends Journal and advisor to world leaders knows how to forge a direct and personal connection to his audience. Through a series of instantly relatable examples, Gerald outlined what it means to forecast the future, how he goes about it, and why we should all learn to do it for ourselves. Using anecdotes from history and current events, sometimes shocking, sometimes hysterically funny, he taught us how we fail to see what’s coming by avoiding obvious signs all around us that we don’t want to see or hear. Step by step, he made a case for returning to values like courage, dignity, passion and self-respect. No matter how frightening the social, economic or political forecast might be, his inspiring presentation helped us to realize that if we stay true to those values, we have everything we need to reach the future in great shape!
Congratulations to each and every one of you for making this life changing commitment to yourself and the people you care about. As you gain insights from the great minds in the Wealth Masters community and share them with others, your ability to create true abundance will grow exponentially.
