The Producer Power Hour membership will be launched by the first of October. It will include a newsletter, weekly podcast hosted by Kim Butler, Daily Producer Power Hour Perspective, monthly Producer Interview, and a book a quarter. These deliverables are designed to protect and cultivate the abundance mentality through daily implementation of a personal Power Hour. Another excited benefit open to the general public is the Hour of Power monthly presentation. This will be a videocast that will feature a guest speaker. After the videocast there will be mastermind groups led by advisors from around the country. I will lead a conference call after the speaker for those in remote locations, but otherwise it will be an opportunity for people to create their own mastermind group to discuss the principles shared from the speaker and what to do about it in each persons life.

I am inspired about this membership and will be the person ultimately responsible for its delivery. My executive team is excited about this and we are moving quickly. We are actually moving forward with creating a TV studio in the office. The radio will then be videocast each day and we can also enhance the videocast experience for everyone.

The products that will be delivered on a regular, ongoing basis will assist people in personal transformation. Producer Power Hour will focus on five tracks of Human Life Value. Social, Financial, Spiritual, Mental, and Physical. There will be perspectives each day of the week creating Ten Minutes to Transformation. It will be insights into what you can incorporate in your Power Hour each morning. The best expression or result of this Power Hour will be to discover and live your Soul Purpose.

Yesterday I actually woke up at 3:30 am to begin my work for the day. I was revising the workbook for the first Quarterly Quantum for the Mental FastTrack and then getting my Producer Power Hour in. At 7:30 I was a radio guest for a show back east and then my phone calls began at 8. I had a number of appointments for the rest of the day, but didn’t feel overwhelmed or overly busy. The reason I felt fine is because I do what I love. This is the fuel for my most significant progress and most fulfilling accomplishments.

I have some exciting things coming up soon. I will be speaking in San Diego in mid-September for Mortgage Planner University and on October 1st, I will be speaking for the Learning Annex in NYC. These are great opportunities for me to educate more people on Soul Purpose and what they can do to live the greatest, most significant life.

There are some exciting packages we are putting together from the Producer Interviews and best radio shows from Producer Revolution. We are actually looking to make a significant investment in high-quality cameras and TV studio equipment to improve our videocasting ability so we can not only expand our reach, but enhance our experience remotely.

I am also excited to be launching the Producer Power Hour membership where we will have deliverables to assist people in accomplishing their Power Hour so they can live more deeply in their Soul Purpose and to protect and cultivate the abundance mindset.

One interesting thing that I have found is that there will always be resistence when you are up to somthing big. The best way I have found to deal with it is to produce. To innovate and create in order to reach the marketplace and express Soul Purpose. Many often focus on this resistence and let it cripple them or depress them. I believe it is to be addressed swiftly, but not to be dwelled upon.

Producer Revoltuion is a cause and a movement that did not work as a membership. It will always be intellectual capital to impact the world and an influence on Producers and production. The Producer Power Hour will deliver this information- I am committed, you have my word that I will see to it!

I am excited for this Friday. It is our first Quarterly Quantum or the Mental FastTrack. It is designed around the cycle of creation. So many people have ideas, but most don’t amount to much. The reasons they don’t amount to much is not necessarily due to the quality of the idea, but because people have a hard time seeing it through to the marketplace. This FastTrack will establish a system to see an idea to a concept and finally to something that can be purchased, used and enjoyed in the marketplace.

In the world of value creation, it is critical to take content that can benefit others and bring it to the marketplace. In the last year I have established several systems to bring content that brings about awareness and philosophy that leads to principled action. From Curriculum For Wealth Symposiums that are happening on a monthly basis, to ghostwriters publishing articles on my behalf in magazines and publications, the “guts” to the Freedom FastTrack, and even the radio, I am able to bring the ideas that created the most value in my life and the most success to my businesses to the marketplace.

To elevate and leverage this content I have created systems to support the delivery of this by others who are mentored by experts in each area. How are you bringing your ideas to the marketplace?

I must say that it feels good to hold the book in my hand. More importantly is to get the book in the hands of those that are buying into the myths and therefore are limiting the value they can create and the happiness they can have. Today I am going to be in a mastermind session with The Accredited Network executives and the Business FastTrack. We will discuss how to capitalize on the opportunities that are all around and how to reach the most people possible.

These are always powerful days because it is not about transactions or low leverage; it is about vision. To create the direction and structure to produce. First, we will identify any liabilities we are facing or could potentially face. This is critical to identify breakdowns now and that could happen in the future. These liabilities become opportunities when addressed.

Next we will assess our assets. This is also a great way to see where we have underutilized or undercapitalized opportunity. Both the liabilities that are addressed and the assets that are recognized become resources for production. Once the resources are discovered we will identify which to move on. This may require additional expenses, but it is critical to understand how it will provide income that is greater than the expense. This is addressed by action.

Well, today will be about reaching more people. It is exciting with all of the opportunities around, but we must turn those opportunities into production. People are assets, so the book will only be as valuable as people reading it and having paradigm shifts leading to action.

On the 24th I presented a Wealth Symposium titled “The Keys to an Abundant Life” with Darron Miller. It was a great experience as the whole Curriculum for Wealth series always is. One special moment for me during the day was when the first copy of my book (Killing Sacred Cows) was delivered to me in front of the group. I immediately started to smile and then felt a very humbling feeling. At that point I read the Challenge to the Reader found in the beginning of the book outloud to the group. It was relevant to the content and purpose of the symposium that day and was refreshing after a week checkered with challenges.

This was also the first symposium with videocast and webinar participants. This is exciting as it allows us to extend our reach across the world to deliver the message of Soul Purpose and principles.

On another note, immediately after the symposium I picked up my road bike from the shop and headed to Jordanelle to register for my olympic triathelon. This triathelon was actually much more difficult than the sprint version, but I was able to complete it on Saturday. I was very strong on the swim and pretty strong on the bike, but the run was difficult. Fortunately, I was able to use the knowledge learned in all the programs I am involved with to prevail.

This week is exciting as I am working on a system to deliver values based estate planning and a family bank for those that want to leave more than just money behind to their heirs. I am also working on creating a trust company to manage money in the event of death. Jason Byrne and Billy Bush will be meeting with Andrew Howell and I to create a system for effective delivery of these important processes. Jason and Billy run a company called the Business Blueprint and I use their services monthly (at a minimum).

Produce!!

The interesting thing about all relationships is that they are both an asset and a liability. Parents understand this for sure. If their kids do anything like steal or break something that is the property of someone else, the parent now has that liability to deal with. The same goes for a business. As an owner of a business I participate in both the triumphs and value creation of others in the firm, but also with the issues that harm the goodwill of the firm or are destructive in any manner.

Just as I do not condone gambling (or what many call investing), I do not condone speculation or what I would call gossip in my organization. When there is complaining or blaming, it is from a scarcity mentality and is focused on the past and not producing in the present or preparing for opportunity in the future. It seems that fear is the number one reason for rumors and the survival of those rumors. Even if there is any truth to what people may be saying, my question is “is it productive”?

One of the best ways for me to overcome the human tendency to create stories based upon perspective (versus what actually happened) is to ask the question “what would I do and what would I want if I were in their shoes”? Now, the “their” I am talking about has to do with anyone we are wanting to talk about in a non-positive way. I know that it takes courage, but why not go to the source? Most people are mostly concerned with being right even if it means villainizing another.

So why do I talk about this in my post? Well…we always talk about people being assets, but every asset has a liability. Is there ever a time where increasing the liability without increasing assets or bottom-line increasing productivity makes sense? In the context of relationships I don’t believe so. It may make sense to address a liability and decide the asset isn’t worth it that is attached to the liability, but in this case one would reduce the liability by addressing it.

A rumor destroys the human life value of those who perpetuate it. If it is in fact a rumor, it also deceptively destroys he human life value of those that it is about. Being on the radio, I have had plenty of rumors about me. It is interesting the conspiracy theories that people come up with. And for what? Mostly to feel important or to justify or to be a means to express fear. Really, I know that it has become part of the social agreement in our world to gossip, but there is no production in it. It is a beast of consumption.

This is a serious post, but I want to be authentic each day with what is on my mind. I have plenty to be grateful for and could list those things today, but my mission this week especially is to address and stop any gossip in my businesses and relationships. This will be done with the very technology that is taught in the Mental FastTrack.

One thing is for sure, the more relationships and stewardship, the more critical it is to have proper structure, policy, and communication to address issues. The very nature of stewardship is that the more of a steward you are, the more resistance that will be present because of the consumer condition that is threatened.

I ask you to consider finding any relationships that drain your energy, create negativity or scarcity, or most importantly that you have neglected and get into powerful communication. Energy is one of our most precious resources. If people you know are going to be assets, are there any that have liabilities that you can address and protect your energy and human life value?

I was able to meet with Phil Tirone, Roberto Monaco, and Woody Woodward yesterday. These are all individuals that are leading figures in their industry.

Phil created 7 steps to 720 and is now licensing his program to other advisors. He is part of our Accredited Network. We spent a few hours brainstorming on how to help the mortgage industry because there are many brokers that are going broke. It is very difficult to fund loans right now and so many loan people are very good salespeople but not necessarily experts on how to deal with funding issues right now. Phil and I also looked for opportunities where we could create value for each other and capitalize on opportunities. This led to connecting each other with relationships we each have that could be valuable to each other. We talked about how we expand our reach with our unique processes as well.

Roberto Monaco is a speaking coach for both Phil and I. He is coaching many of the people speaking at the Millionaire Mortgage Planner Seminar. This is an event held in Hollywood at the Kodak Theater, and I am attending portions of it as well since I am speaking at an event put on by the same company next month in San Diego. Roberto is a true value creator that has helped me to communicate and influence more effectively from the front of the room. I am talking to him about being a formal part of the training for Freedom FastTrack licensees.

Woody Woodward, creator of Law of Importance, is someone that is just fun to be around. We were able to create an amazing program called “How we really did it”. It is where we talk about the steps and most intimate details of how we created businesses or accomplished something. That was just part of the conversation as well. He is going to be part of the Social FastTrack when it is launched in a few years. Woody and I were also able to go watch Jay Leno live at the Kodak theater to add some more entertainment to our time together.

I really enjoy the days where I am able to brainstorm with high level people. Just developing relationships with producers is always valuable to me. There really was no agenda, but plenty of production.

I had mentioned in my last post that I would continue a discussion that I had with my father in my posts. The basis of the conversation has to do with human nature and external pressures.

All too often people look for happiness, direction, and advice from other people. The danger of this is when people are motivated by how they look to others rather than what is in line internally based upon choice. There is so much about the mining collapse on the news and there are so many opinions. My feelings are that we go with certainty versus gambling. This is the same advice I give with investing and creating abundance. The more education you can obtain, the more certainty that is possible.

There is uncertainty to the safety of any rescue effort and especially the safety to those going into the mine. There is certainty to preventing further death or injury by not sending people underground where the mine is so unstable. For many though, there is a feeling of guilt to go make an effort and sacrifice their own life for the opinion of others. Now, I know many of them care and want to help, but many people have expectations of others to do something regardless of the risk to someone elses’ life. Rather than attempt to rescue via the method of digging underground, they are looking for life from drilling and sending mics and cameras. It must be difficult on the families, but do we want to risk the lives of many more for a chance? What are the most certain methods to save these miners or recover them? That is the question.

On a lighter note, I was able to go to Disneyland with my family recently. A good friend and his family met us there and then Woody Woodward and his wife joined us later on. I love the naming process of Disney and that it is about happiness and dreams. We had a great time enjoying the Human Life Value of many, starting with Walt Disney. It existed in his imagination first and now is availble for millions to enjoy.

When Walt Disney went to the banks and other lenders to obtain financing they all told him no. Many actully said he was up in the night and just flat out crazy. When someone is a market maker and is paving a way that doesn’t exist already, this is common to be told it is not possible. It may not have been possible in the past, but is now because of Soul Purpose. Those that are revolutionary with face resistance. Persist and believe- it is possible.

Well…my dad is a federal mine inspector for MSHA, so he has been working on the rescue at Crandall Canyon Mine. This isn’t a new experience for him; he was on the mine rescue team during the Wilburg mine disaster in the 80’s.

As I have checked my phone people have texted or called to offer their prayers and thoughts for my dad and those that are trapped in the mine. It means a lot to me for sure.

The things that the rescue team has done in order to save the trapped miners is insane. The places that these men have crawled have reporters who have spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan saying it is the scariest thing they have ever witnessed.

I am from Price, Utah and have many family members that have been or are coal miners. My great-grandfather came over from Southern Italy to mine. He lived in the small town of Sunnyside, Utah. Both of my grandfathers worked in the mine. Of course my dad did as well and many of his brothers too.

I can remember times growing up where we would be on vacation and hear about a mine fire or death of a miner that was at a mine that my dad worked or just have my dad come home and tell me about someone that was killed or seriously injured. It is something that happens because it is a dangerous profession. Actually, people close to me like my little league baseball coach have died in a mine accidents.

One of the reasons there are so many people that work under such duress and in these conditions was brought to my attention by my dad. He informed me that in the 1970’s miners made as much as most professions that required a college degree. Fortunately, my dad taught me, due to his experience, that I could have a future with unlimited potential and that physical labor may not create the highest value for who I was. Now I don’t say that to degrade miners, but I do want to point out the importance of Soul Purpose. There may be people that mine with passion and have absolutely no fear while doing it, but for many it is a choice about the easy path to make money (in the short run). Making that money has a very high cost though- as we have seen with this mine disaster.

My dad actually spends so much less time in dangerous situations because he took a very hard route when I was a teenager. He went back to school and got a degree that allowed him to move to mine inspection. This was the hard-easy route. It would have been easier in the moment to stay in underground mining, but what would that look like long-term- very hard. Now, he loves the job (even if it is federal). Fortunately, I was able to recruit my mom away from the government, but not my dad just yet.

I want to acknowledge and thank my father for talking with me as a young man. We discussed the possibilities beyond the physical realm of mining. As I said before, mining is a noble, yet dangerous profession. Black Lung, physical ailments due to the strenuous work, and layoffs during cycles made mining less than desirable for me. We all have a mind and through Soul Purpose can create massive value. There is a higher realm when follow your Soul Purpose. It is worth it and makes all the difference.

My thoughts and prayers go to the miners and their families. This is a difficult situation with people being killed and the uncertainty of the status of the trapped miners.

Most of the time though, I have been thinking of my dad. Last night I was able to talk with him and I had a very direct conversation with him. I will talk about it in my next blog.

Last night was the first time in years that I was unable to sleep due to my mind being busy. Have you ever had that happen where you wake up and then the next thing you know your mind is busy thinking? I know that my Producer Power Hour has been less than ideal the last three days. Yesterday I did half of it during the night and Monday I didn’t do it at all. It is rare for me to skip any portion of my Power Hour and last night was a good reminder why.

So here I am on very little sleep getting started at 5am. Now is the time to fully commit because it would be easy to have an excuse to just get some sleep. I know that through my meditation I will be able to make up for some of that lost sleep plus I love what I do so my energy will come through my passion and activity in the day.

On to another aspect of the Producer Power Hour. One of the tracks of human life value is Mental. An amazing way to cultivate mental capacity is to journal and then review the journal on a regular basis. For me, journaling is not something where I write paragraphs of my feelings or even full sentences for that matter. I enjoy capturing ideas, thoughts, phrases, quotes, or anything captivating enough to grab my attention. Now, I am not saying this is the way to journal or that it is right, I am merely saying that it is how I do it.

By journaling I have been able to document some of my greatest breakthroughs, capture my creativity in the moment, readdress notes from workshops or symposiums, and essential capture the models and many of the principles behind the Freedom FastTrack. Many times when I write down an idea, I leave space in my journal and then spend time expanding it and asking “How can I take this to a level where it can create value for a large number of people?”.

During my Producer Power Hour I can then review the journal and write more in the peace of the morning.

Are you capturing your ideas?

I noticed that the reason that we know so much about the founding fathers of this country is because they journaled. How much value have the books written on these extraordinary individuals impacted the world? The lesson here is to journal so your legacy can live on in another medium and also to capitalize on what you are thinking today. It is a way to capture Human Life Value and then to transfer it to future generations.

Are you part of the journal revolution?
