I'm a well grounded person with the most loving hubby, the coolest 13 month old son and my BFF boxer doggy to go home to everyday. I have a wonderful career and the most awesome staff ever. I am blessed to be able to live a lifestyle I only dreamed about living. All the materialistic things I have I can say I've earned through hard work. The value of Family and friends are much greater than these things. I believe that God's always got my back.
Even with being blessed with having amazing things happen to me in my life, I've had my moments of re-evaluating my life as a teenager or an adult trying to figure out who I really am and how to overcome feelings of irritability and frustrations with obstacles and differences in my life. I've been through counseling sessions off and on for about 10 years, wrote in my journal, talked to friends, went to church.... And they have all been wonderful experiences...so I thought; Until I was introduced to the Landmark Forum. A couple of friends told me about it 8 years ago and I recall them telling me that once I take this class, my life would be transformed forever. They were studying at Yale at the time and it helped them overcome obstacles in their college life. As amazing as it sounded, I was seeing a life coach at that time whom I felt helped me to find the answer to all my questions I had about my life. I've read all the self help books you could imagine and they also had me thinking 'Oohh and ahhhhhhh, I get it'.
8 years passes by. I've matured, I've been through many ups and downs.
I've built meaningful relationships and have had my share of disappointments in life. I couldn't say that my view of seeing the world was any different after
The counseling sessions and the weekly trips to Borders.
I was reintroduced to the Landmark Forum 10 months ago by my hubby's boss. He encouraged the hubby to take it and told him he'd even sponsor him because he has never been so impacted by a forum in his life.
The hubby thought about it and thought about it and forgot about it. Without him knowing, I decided to sign him up and he was NOT a happy camper.
With 500 smackeroos already invested in it, he had to go.
Without going into too much detail, the reason why I felt the need to sign my hubby up was because he works from home and he would complain to me that he hated it. I told him that if he is inspired and gets something out of the 13 hour a day course on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, then I would take it too.
Not only has gone from hating working home to loving it; his performance has sky rocketed. And a bonus, our communication skills... AWESOME!
So now. Let's talk about my experience.:)
I took the Forum during my maternity leave in September and the experience has been PHENOMENAL. One of the breakthroughs I had was in my work performance. Previously I had spent a lot of time being frustrated with my boss and the higher ups who didn't understand that sales is not as easy as they think didnt know how hard it was to achieve budget. I had decided that they were "wrong", and that I was going to have to work "outside the system" to pursue the things I was passionate about.
What I got from the Forum was that making others wrong accomplishes nothing, and once I stopped making them wrong, I could take ownership for my experience. Based on this insight I got the power to create my experience at work however I wanted it to be. Rather than being resigned to frustration and dissatisfaction, I suddenly had the freedom and the tools to completely alter my environment, enabling me to do what I was passionate about. To take a single example: I would NEVER be able to be the top closer in the nation. Are you kidding me? I've just taken on this position at my work as a consultant. We are the 5th largest center in the nation and there are over 80 centers to compete with. Most of the centers are smaller and it's easier for them to achieve their goals.Hello? Whereas before I would have been resigned to being dissatisfied, post-Forum I realized that it would be way more fun and fulfilling to create a competition for myself. Because I no longer saw the higher ups as being "wrong" I could build powerful relationships with them, and one of those relationships enabled the best experiences of my life, where I got the Regional Vice President to email me that I have set a new standard for our consultants in the region. I not only over exceeded in my sales by 150% but also won # 2 in the nation... And number 1 in a huge
competition.Won $3500 bucks!.. And brought in 5 figures in commission for the past 2 months.
That was one breakthrough of many that I got from the Forum, and I've successfully applied the training to many other areas of my life.
My relationship with my sister is on a whole new level as well as with my bro, Dad and Mom. Oh btw, sis and Mom took it too and they were blown away. LIFE ALTERING.My hubby and I hardly ever argue and when we do, let me tell you it is resolved faster than ever now. Our photography business has been amazing since then too.
It was definitely one of the best investments of time and money that I've ever made. I was blown out of my socks.
The last thing I have to say is no matter how many books you've read, no matter how many degrees you have,no matter how much money you make,no matter what disciplines you have studied, no matter how perfect you think you are,the Landmark Forum is going to seriously give you the best orgasmic feeling you've ever had... For life
