Financial freedom seminar: Millionaire Mind Intensive review
So about 3 years ago I was 19 years old. I had about $1000 to my name and a part time job as a security agent that paid $9 per hour. I had no education, no desire to study or work. All I wanted to do was travel and pick up chicks. I didn't feel this was possible and I was confused and depressed. I felt powerless.
I was so confused that I had signed up for this crappy life coaching program in Toronto. I wont mention the name but it was very crappy. Yet, the guy was a Millionaire Mind Intensive fan and he brought me along since it was free.
The seminar is 3 days long 10 hours or more a day of interactive talks and exercises (no boring stuff). Those guys are like Tony Robbins. They scream at you and brainwash you into thinking the right way.
Before I had beliefs such as:
"I'm too young to make money"
"I'm too stupid to make money"
"I'm too lazy to make money"
"My English isn't good enough to make money"
"You need money to make money"
"Making money is hard"
"Starting a business isn't possible for me"
"I don't want to be rich. Being rich is useless and not for me"
If you know anything about self improvement you know that with beliefs like that there's no way someone can be financially free aka "travel and pick up chicks" like I wanted to.
So after 30 hours of pure brain washing I eradicated all those beliefs and here's just some of the beliefs I have now:
"I manage my money better than anyone I know"
"Making money is not only easy, it is natural and does not require me to work a lot"
"My money works for me and makes me more money"
"Nothing is impossible in term of money. I can live any lifestyle I want"
"Even if I would happen to lose all my money and passive income sources, it does not matter because I know how to make money and it is not difficult"
"I am intelligent and driven enough to make as much money as my lifestyle requires"
"I am financially free and will always be"
Those are my real beliefs. You can ask my friends if you think I'm lying. They are more than beliefs. They are my convictions.
The seminar made a big difference in the way my life played out. You can sign up here if you want. You can sign up for the same 3 days seminar that I took for $97 (used to be free back in the day) or you can sign up for a one evening talk for free.
So guess what happened right after the seminar. I started working on my business. I had a friend I met while traveling. He introduced me to internet marketing. I didn't know jack at the time. I worked every single hour of everyday for 6 months. Do you think I could have done that with my old beliefs? Of course not I would have given up.
After that, I hired employees and stopped working. I managed my money well and saved and re-invested my profits. Do you think I could have done that with my prior beliefs? No I would have spent all my cash on hookers and blow (just kidding).
I started traveling and working whenever I wanted to. I still work from time to time. I had some rough time last September when all my websites got banned by Google. But I had $20k saved up and 10 trained employees ready to do work for me. So I wasn't screwed, because I had managed my money. Now 8 months later I make the same amount of money I was making before.
So you can imagine how sick my life as been ever since. I've been living a nice lifestyle downtown Montreal and Toronto, doing whatever I want, working out, going out every night and day. I even meditate one hour per day. Who has time to do that?
I lived in Thailand and Asia for 6 months, in Brazil for 2 months, in Florida for 2 months and I am now living in San Francisco. Now the only thing that keeps me from traveling is my love for Montreal and my crazy saving habits.
So anyway if you want to sign up just go here. Like I said before it seems that if you want to get the same 3 days seminar that I took it cost $97 but there is a free option also but it's only one evening.
Christmas in Miami Beach
Miami Beach really rocks. I've been there for a week and a half and I only have good things to say about it. Note that Miami and Miami Beach are different. I'm not sure if the city of Miami is any good.
It is beautiful. The beach, the scenery, the buildings, shops, the restaurants. There are palm trees everywhere. The beach is clean and the sea is blue.
There are a lot of things to do. I lived in a hostel at the corner of Washington Avenue and 9 Street and a lot of very cool clubs were at walking distance. The clubs are insanely expensive though.
There are tons and tons of restaurants. Everywhere is some kind of restaurant, bar, club, clothing store, art gallery and so on.
This attracts lots of people which is really cool if you like to walk around and talk to girls.
The girls are beautiful here. There are a lot of hot tourists from all over the world, or just girls from Miami that are really attractive. Lots of young people walking alone shopping or going to places. Walking is a common alternative because all the things are very close by. I love that because I like to walk myself.
The weather is nice. At the moment it is pretty cold but it's been very unusual for Florida. I think it's usually 15-30 Celsius during winter.
This is all I know for now. I will probably be here for longer so I will update when I learn more about Miami Beach.
Why Orlando sucks
I've been to Orlando for 9 days and I find it sucks so much.
First of all, what's good about Orlando?
The weather is nice in winter. Ever since I'm here it's been about 20 degrees Celsius. It gets chilly some days and warmer some other days but if you have a jacket you'll be fine.
I've heard during the summer though it's too hot to do anything.
The city also looks very very pretty. Everything looks new. Streets, houses, buildings, stores. They have lots of highways and streets filled with retail stores (The same big retail stores over and over again, nothing exciting). Everyone I've met live in very nice houses and neighborhoods even though they are broke, and I think it's because rent is affordable there.
Downtown looks really pretty. They have parks and trees and some tourists attractions, malls and shopping areas.
They also have Disney World and Universal Studios which I have not been because it's too expensive and I don't really have anyone I want to go with at the moment.
Now, what sucks about Orlando?
You need a car to do anything. Everything is spread out and far. It doesn't feel like a city at all. It feels like a suburb. There is no subway. You could take the bus but it's $2 each time and it takes forever to go anywhere.
But even if you could go anywhere in the bus, where would you go? Because honestly, there's nothing to do here. Everywhere is dead. Downtown is dead during the day. The parks, malls and tourist parks that are free to get in are dead as well. I like to pick up chicks during the day, but there's nowhere to do so here.
There doesn't seem to be any kind of cultural or fun event happening anywhere. Every week is the same. People go to the same places, do the same things.
If you don't live downtown (which is completely NOT affordable, like $700-900 a month for a room), then you need to drive to go to any restaurant or bar that is not a Taco Bell/Burger King. I hate driving and I don't even have a car. I like to walk.
Nightlife
The night life does exist, but it sucks. First of all it resembles the night life of a small city, because there's only a handful of bars/clubs and a few hundred people out on a Friday/Saturday night. On the week days there's usually one or two venues to go to on each day. The best bars/clubs all have expensive covers such as $5-15. Most people go there with a big group of friends and hop all in the same car. It makes it really hard to have a one night stand with any of them because they all live so far away because Orlando is so spread out.
There are like no after hours places most of the days. Last call is at like 1:45. I've seen several fights for no reasons which makes me very careful not to be too aggressive with girls I've just met.
In Montreal and Toronto, there's hundreds of bars, thousands of people partying on a Friday, chicks go to the bar with 1 or 2 friends to meet other people. There's places to go after the bar. You can walk to your house or cab there.
Girls
There's not that many girls, and they are not very attractive.
People are not nice. I go talk to them are they like at me like I'm weird. It's like they've never met a new person in their entire lives. They are weird and snobbish.
I know how to pick up chicks. I've been doing it for years. I know what I do works.
Economy
Everyone I know here has a shitty job and is struggling for money. They all wish they could leave this place and go somewhere else. They have like 2 jobs that pay $8 per hour and they try to pay the bills. Plus they need to have cars and pay for covers at the bars. This is getting them nowhere.
In conclusion
My roommates are amazingly chill. They take me everywhere and we have so much fun. Even though most people are pricks, I still end up meeting a hot girl that is normal and likes me every night. Most of the time they also hate Orlando so we get along. It's worth it to be here just to have a 10 minutes conversation with a chick that I really enjoy, even if chances are against me to take it anywhere.
