THE SHOCKING INSIDE-OUT WEALTH SEMINAR

At the end of August I had the privilege of presenting the shocking Inside-Out Wealth materials. I like that. I like the looks and sounds of shock radiating through an audience. And I’ll do it again in a couple weeks.

I was in Mexico and I delivered the shocking information in a new way, in a way that I had never presented them before. This time, instead of as a Training, I presented them as a general “seminar.” Never before had I chosen to do it that way. And yes, there’s a reason for that, namely, my preference is always for training— training in the skills through a focused practice, with debriefing, demonstrations, and some guidance. But the situation arose where we did not have the time to do all of that, so I did it in a new way.

Part of the time element arose due to the need for translation. So even though I do not like the sequential translating (in this case from English to Spanish) rather than simultaneous translation, I agreed and accepted half-heartedly that I would present the materials and so we shifted from a training to a Seminar.

The first one was a 2 hour Conference in Mexico City which Ivan Robbles sponsored; the second was a two-day training in San Cristobal de las Casas in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, which David Murphy sponsored. Now personally, I had low expectations. I lowered my own expectations because of the format as well as my own lack of experience with it. I lowered what I expected that I could accomplish in this type of context because I feared that people would not get enough to really gain a sufficient map or make even the minimal changes for them to become full-fledged Wealth Creators.

But I was wrong. To my surprise and delight I discovered that my lowered expectations and anticipated fears were fallacious and unnecessary. So that’s good. I suppose I forgot that sometimes, systemic change can occur, not because people received the whole paradigm, but because a critical leverage point of change was obtained enabling a holistic change throughout the system. And that’s good, we have people fly and drive in for the training in San Cristobal from a dozen cities and a group of people drove 8 hours to get to the Seminar!

Shock Jock Inside-Out Wealth is shocking. Whether in book form or in the training, the core ideas typically create a shock to the nervous systems and brains of most people. Yet when people are ready for that, it can facilitate a highly desired paradigm shift and that’s precisely what happened with dozens of people in the seminars.

What’s so shocking about Inside-Out Wealth? Lots of things. First and foremost the realization the wealth is not money. Yes, you read that right. Wealth is not money. Now true enough, money is one expression of wealth, and is the scorecard that most of us use for determining our wealth. But wealth itself is not money. That’s why you could have lots of money and not be wealthy! Nor is wealth just a “state of mind.” Wealth is real and while it involves your mind, wealth is something other than the accumulation of things or one’s financial status.

Look closely at the synonyms of “wealth” and they will tell you what wealth is—value, valuing, abundance, etc. Wealth is what creates value for people and that’s why people will pay money for that value create and added. And what “creates value?” What is valuable to people? Anything that makes life richer and fuller. Anything that enriches the quality of human experience. Anything that satisfies our basic or meta-needs. Anything that satisfies our wants and dreams. Any of those things adds value. Here then is another synonym— what creates wealth is solving problems.

Wealth then is what is within you that sees and solves problems, that adds to the quality of life, that enriches people’s experiences.

If you use that definition, then how wealthy are you today? Your wealth may not have created lots of money for your bank account— yet. But if you are wealthy, then that “wealth” is your power and ability which is within yourself to care, to value, and to create solutions that makes life better. That’s why in Neuro-Semantics we talk about how to increase your wealth- capabilities so that you become (and can put it on your business card) — a Wealth Creator.

If that’s true wealth, then becoming wealthy inside yourself is the slow but sure way to create long-term sustainable wealth! Interested? Ready to shift from “getting” wealth to becoming the wealth creator?
