Sharing What We Covered Last Night

I wanted to send out a note of thanks to everyone who joined me for last night’s teleseminar,

“How the Average American Can Weather the Financial Crisis Without Becoming Emotionally Overwhelmed.”

I got some GREAT feedback and am feeling really good about what was presented!

I’m especially feeling good about what everybody took from the call.

That’s because I truly believe that now is the time to ACT… not just sit around in a state of paralysis over the news reports.

I want people to remember that life goes on no matter what the Dow Jones is doing. When a major crisis like what we’re seeing with the economy happens, know that it’s NOT about self preservation. It’s about self assertion!

Getting out and taking action. Making plans and following through on them. Creating a better life for you and your family. Doing it YOUR way.

As a gift of thanks for being a Slow Down Fast reader, I’d like to offer you a FREE instant replay of what was presented during last night’s teleseminar. You’ll find a link to the entire audio recording right here:

Note: On this call, I reveal some truths about myself in my “past life” that I normally don’t share with people whom I’ve just met.

But as I was planning the seminar, I started thinking that it was MORE important to share my story with people who might be able to relate to it than it was to worry about possibly being judged.

If you’re working on light tasks today, why not turn up your speakers and listen in for free? 

Also: please DO share your own thoughts about how we can all “weather the financial crisis together” – and maybe even come out better people in the end!

Email me: david@slowdownfast.com, or leave a comment below. I’d love to hear your views on what’s happening in the world today.

Down Economy Got You Way Down? It doesn’t have to!

Join me for a FR.EE teleseminar THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15th, 2008 – 7:00 PM Central.

We all see what’s going on in the world.  It sure isn’t pretty.

The markets and economy are in the tank. Foreclosures, hiring freezes, salary cuts, and layoffs are a given.

We’re hunkered down in our bunkers waiting for the storm to blow over.  Is that the right approach?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Think about this:  When businesses feel the heat of the bad economy and decreasing sales, do they hunker down?  No!  They get very proactive.  They look for ways to cut costs and increase efficiencies.

AS INDIVIDUALS, WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING.

  • Take this time to engage in some self-assessment instead of using all your energy for self-preservation.
  • Build some self-confidence, self-equity, and a foundation for your future – so that you can handle good times and bad.

Now is the best time to engage in a concentrated period of personal evaluation.

1.   Figure out where you are and where you want to go.
2.   Add things to your life that are important to you.
3.   Get rid of the things that just aren’t working anymore.

You don’t have to take it on the chin and allow the bad economy to control every aspect of your life.

Come out of the basement.  Take control.  Empower yourself!
