John Assaraf : Reinventing the Entrepreneur

Hello again friends,

I’ve been fortunate enough to spend some time with Ellen DeGeneres – I’ve had some conversations with her and made an appearance on her show not long ago.  Just on the basis of that, it’s amazing how many people ask me what she’s REALLY like. Well, the night before I was on her show we went out and had dinner with her brother Vance and her wonderful partner Portia de Rossi.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as I never had followed Ellen’s career as my wife Maria had. In a nutshell, she was totally interested in finding out more about The Secret and the other laws we discussed at dinner. I was blown away by her curiosity. She has been into personal growth her whole life and has overcome many challenges just like the rest of us. Her point of view was so refreshing and healthy — she is a voracious student and learner, willing to take in information like a child at school. This night she wasn’t cracking jokes or making any funny comments, she was all about absorbing every word.

Ellen impressed me so much with her down-to-earth style, true caring beliefs and actions and a warm childlike heart. Both Maria and I felt a very close friendship with her and Portia and hope to stay in touch with them for many years to come.

When I returned home I sent her my book, The Street Kid’s Guide to Having it All, and my Goal Achieving Program, and the following Saturday morning she called while having coffee at her Montecito home and expressed how much she loved the material and how she was going to start applying it into achieving all of her life’s goals.

That made me feel great!

There’s nothing better than being able to take my life’s work and help people who are serious about improving their lives. You can do it too!

Remember, it’s your choice to create a magical life.

John
