Hi all,

Hey friends,

Here are some photos taken in Nigeria this week at the keynote event I spoke at called “The Platform.” Pastor Poju of Covenant Church sponsored it. He had read my book “The Answer” and saw the movie “The Secret” (all about the laws of attraction and action) and wanted to expose this type of thinking and this process of manifestation through personal goal setting to the Nigerian people. About 25,000 showed up and it was absolutely awesome.

Below are some photos of the event, my bodyguards and more. I’ll write an article on the trip this week and again you’ll see how the law of attraction really does work.

By the way, I’m holding a LIVE Q&A call this Thursday about my personal mentorship program. It’s a great chance for you to ask me your questions about how to have your dreams become your reality! Sign up here.

Experiences like this journey to Nigeria to be a keynote speaker for 25,000 + people’s growth and expansion is humbling in so many ways.

If you had asked me when I first started studying the law of attraction, “John, do you really believe positive affirmations, personal goal setting, etc., can transform my dreams into a reality,” I would have answered yes but it may have been with a hint of uncertainty.

After years and years of unbelievable experiences like the one shown in photos above, I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that everything we talk about and discuss as part of our reality can easily be part of yours too! Enjoy…

John

Hi friends,

I wrote this last night, but I didn’t have a chance to post it to my blog until this afternoon. Please enjoy it and join me tonight on a special call on overcoming whatever is holding you back from greatness. Register now.

—————————–

It’s 3 a.m. in Lagos, Nigeria and I wanted to share with you interesting stuff while I am in Nigeria giving lectures and consulting business owners.

The people here are starving for knowledge and have incredible opportunity here right now. 15 million in Lagos, 140 million in the country. In 99% of the land they lack the very basics we take for granted. Things like clean water, sewage (only 1% have proper sewage abilities) and shelter. I am in a 5 star hotel and just down the streets are shacks, like you see in movies and tv shows asking for money. The rich are very rich, the poor “dirt poor”.

However, people here want an end to corruption and have true chance of success — and are prepared to work for it. The business owners I had dinner with were constantly on their cell phones, some had two going at the same time! It’s great to see the sincere hunger and willingness to learn and grow that they are displaying. They asked me 100 questions like a rapid fire machine gun. The want knowledge, direction and leadership so they can carve for themselves a piece of their of the “American dream”.

On Friday I will be speaking for 50,000 people. Last night they brought in a tailor to the hotel to take my measurements so I can speak in their native garb! He came to the hotel at 9 p.m., and was instructed by my host to have my custom-made outfit by the next day no matter what. He obliged, took my measurements and smiled with joy as he left with an order that he would have to work on ALL night. THAT is a willingness to do whatever it takes! This will be a first and a way for me to connect with these individuals and their culture. After all, my father is from North Africa, Morocco.

Ok, I’m gonna try and get some rest as its 3:51 a.m. right now. More to come! In the meantime, be very grateful for what we take for granted. All my best.

Look at this incredible statistic:

According to Dr. Edward Miller, Dean of John’s Hopkins’s University,

Nine out of ten people who have gone thru heart bypass surgery do not change their behaviors or lifestyles after surgery knowing they face death as a result of not changing!

It’s sad but true. There is also a way to stop this.

• Is there something in your life you are trying to change or stop?
• Do you want to make more money but don’t?
• Do you want to have better health but can’t change your eating and excerise habits?
• Do you want to eliminate low self-image?
• Get your employees or yourself to adopt new behaviors, but you can’t?

Read on to find out why this happens.

For over 20 years I have been studying why some people are able to achieve the success they want in life while others struggle daily as if fighting for the air they breathe.

The research that keeps coming back over and over again points to the human brain.

You are currently wired to experience and achieve exactly what your current results are showing you. Please don’t get me wrong, you are capable of much more, and that is why you are frustrated.

The way we are raised and taught when we are young will determine our results as an adult. If you are not happy with certain results in your life right now, you must change from the inside out.

Using will power and persistence is a temporary act that fizzles out very quickly, as you already know.

Your brain controls all your perceptions and behaviors. Unfortunately, its responsibility is to keep you at whatever current result you are getting. Nothing less and nothing more.

Sure, you can trick it to losing weight or making more money, but it will almost always bring you back to your current level of non-conscious expectations and true beliefs. That is its job.

The “Hard-Wiring” in your brain is your current level of programming or conditioning. You may not like it, but it’s the truth.

You can never achieve more in your life without adding new and “better programming”.

It’s like upgrading software on your computer. If you want better performance from your computer, you do something to the inside, not the outside.

Here’s the good news:

Using the latest in brain research and physics we now have brand new ways to get “inside” your head to help you make the mental shifts you must make first, in order to see the changes in your life on the outside.

People have been using the wrong tools for making change and that is why it is so frustrating. With the advancements we’ve made in science, many more people will be able to make more money and finally live the lives they dream of, in total health and balance.

It takes about 15 minutes a day to rewire the neural circuits of the brain and the results are amazing. Read below to see what Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Louis Cady has to say:

(I have hundreds of testimonials just like this)

“It was like I had been driving around in a Pinto and John gave me a Lamborghini. After more than a decade in private practice, this workshop finally provided the ‘missing link’ for me to effect much faster change in my patients—and myself!”

Louis B. Cady, MD – Child and Adult Forensic Psychiatrist, speaker, writer and consultant

If you are serious about creating abundance in your life and business and truly are prepared to invest yourself to do finally do it right, I highly recommend that you work with me over the rest of 2009 to help make the changes from the inside out.
