Success is Your Miracle Journey

0:00 Hello, this is Dean, and welcome to the Miracle Journey of Success. The following presentation was recorded live at the Intuitive and Healing Arts Festival on August third, two thousand and two. Sit back and enjoy while we start your journey to success. I mean a great time here one. Thank you all for coming. I know you took time your day to be here. I don't know if you specifically came for the lecture. He happen to notice our booth downstairs, but I'm very glad that you came, and I think you'll get.

0:45 A lot out of it. A couple of things I'm going to. Start with is the fact that it's a very short lecture and anybody that's been to see any motivational speaker, which that's who. My name's Dean Piper, and I'm a motivational speaker, a business coach, and. I'm a life coach. I also train salespeople across the country, so what I do really depends on what your needs are. I'm not one of those people that does a canned presentation. Okay, you can keep that open if one case. So people want to feel intimidated, bothering, nothing bothers, you know, everybody else, and if it bothers anybody's or nothing, minim will close the door.

1:27 This way, nobody's intimidating. The door closes, not coming, but basically must if anybody's been to see a Tony Robbins, a Jim Rohan, and the Tom Hopkins a zig Ziggler, and then the list goes. On and on. You find out that once you've bought one of their set of tapes, you've bought all their set of tapes because. They all essentially say the same thing. Because it's basically a can presentation, and that doesn't take anything. Away from it. It's a great presentation. You'll learn a lot from it, but then it stops people from keep. Coming back because they hear the same thing over and over again. I want you to notice something. If you ever have gone to a seminar before, normally you see what the speaker has notes and index cards and an outline.

2:09 I don't do any of that. I can shoot straight from off the head. Okay, why because it's in my heart and it's in my mind. And that's one of the things I'm gonna teach you today that to get the things you want out of life, it can't just be on paper. It cannot just be somebody else's ideas. It has to be something. You truly believe in, that you truly feel in your mind. Okay, I'm sure everybody in here has their own religious faith. And what is religion belief? There's really not a lot of proof. Okay. Religion is not a science, it's a faith. It's belief. Why do we believe?

2:52 Because that's how we'll either we're brought up or that's what we learn. Well, you've been brought up with a certain belief system, each one of you. Where'd you get that belief system? You got it from. Your parents, your siblings, your friends, your coworkers, your schoolmates, what have you. This is what has formed you today. Now. Unfortunately, has anybody hear up or notice the difference between somebody in their twenties and their thirties when it comes to success and attitude towards life. Who can give me the difference? It can be interactive, No, they has to be shy. Can you tell me the difference? Okay?

3:33 Anyway, maybe the purse the young person, they have less thousand years exactly, they have not been scarred and not in life to think a differently. When you're twenty years old, you go out there in the world and you are unstoppable. You are an unconquering force ready to take on the world. And there's very few twenty year olds that you meet in your. Life that don't say they're gonna be a millionaire by the time they're thirty. But what happens when you turn thirty? They may tell me what happens. When we turn thirty, if they may have an experience that they were that unstoppable twenty year old. I mean, all of a sudden at thirty, they settled down and they decide, let's just throw away our dreams. That's just dreaming.

4:20 Why is that dreaming? Well, because you've been pulling for the past thirty years that it's dreaming. I mean, you're twenty years old. How many people are twenty years old and they tell their parents that they're gonna go out and make a million dollars And your parent tells it might just go out and get a real job, get security, going a forty five year plan, get your gold batch when you retire. That's reality. Has anybody ever heard that before? Raise your hand, well, is that really what you want? As reality? Reality is what you make it. There is no such thing as reality. Reality is your reality, not society's reality.

5:04 Society puts rules on us. Whether or those rules that. Society puts on us that you should get a secure job, forego your dreams and pay your bills. Well, it's funny I should say that. With the economy in a stock market the way it is, how secure is the corporate America right now? Is there anybody in this room that knows somebody that's been laid off at their job after working there for twenty years. It is happening all over the place, all. Over the place, whether it's a merger, whether it's worm Coom, whether it's Enron.

5:48 Arthur Anderson. What are these names? These are the hugest names around, and you are not secure in your job. So the bottom line is your reality is what you make it. You do not have to submit to society's rules that tells you that you must get a job and must get a salary, and must get benefits and must get vacation days. I'm somebody that I've been working since I'm eleven years old. I've lived on my own since I'm fifteen. Back to the beginning where I said, it's a short time to speak, and you're a motivational speaker, it's kind of hard. To put it all into a half an hour.

6:29 Okay, So I'm gonna give you a little taste. I'm kind of giving you two days and a half an hour. So of course I'm gonna miss certain things. One things are gonna miss is my story. Every moivational speaker, if you've ever listened tapes, red books, and you all have a story? Why do they all have a story? Anybody tell me? Because everybody has a story. Everybody has childhood. Problems, everybody has a life that they let Everybody has had problems, everybody's had ups and downs. No way, it's. More special than anybody else except. In your own mind. You are the most special person in your own mind. So what does that mean? Means that you are the choice in life. What's your choice?

7:13 Your choice is to submit to society's rules, Your choice is to make your own rules. And your choice is to succeed or fail. It is a choice. Failure is a choice. Okay. One of my mentors, Jim Rome, aby ever hear of Jim Rome. He's the one that meet Tony who he is today? Tony Robbins. Jim Rome says, and I agree whole hardly that not only successful people should be giving lectures, but failures should be giving seminars. Now, why is that probably gone the uspen times? Well, failures should give seminars because they can give you the experience and the wisdom of what not to do, what it takes to.

7:58 Become a failure. If you don't want to become a failure, you know, that's the road to avoid the problem is no failures ever give seminars. Who's nobody would pay to proceed? Okay? But life is full of successes and failures, little ones, big ones all over. You have a challenge every single day of your life. Every day of your life, there's a challenge, and there's a choice. It's your choice. It's your choice what you want to make of it. It's your life. It's not your parents' life, it's not your friend's life, it's not anybody else's but your own. So let's talk about those choices. And I'm gonna touch on some a couple of techniques that are very simple that you can use.

8:42 Who here has gone through a goal setting program and learn has set your goals, raise your hand, how many had actually done it? You know why most people go to these programs and don't actually do the work. A lot of work. Okay, setting your goals takes a lot of work. And all these people that teach about setting goals, what do they do they. Teaching you gotta do all these things. By time they're done teaching, you say, I don't have the time to do that. Everybody's gone a busy day. Right now, I'm gonna give you one simple goal setting technique that will change your life forever if you follow it, and it will take it all of five minutes to do it. Okay, you're gonna take a piece of paper.

9:32 At the top of the paper, you're gonna write dreamless. Then you're doing number at one, two, three. I do write better than this, but I'm leftians. You gonna go all the way down to ten, one. Through ten, okay, and you're gonna put the ten things that you want most have life. Right now. Now, let me clarify that to you. Everybody thinks that goal setting is about making huge goals. Everybody thinks that goal setting it means it has to be about money. I'm here to tell you that it isn't. I'm here to tell you that. The reason I'm here with you today, I was.

10:14 A financial planner for thirteen years. I owned brokerage offices throughout the country, and I was chasing the almighty buck. Now, I did this in my business for my brokers for free, never charged for it. I helped them out. But making money came first and helping came second. That's normally way people lived their. Life, because it's again in society's rules. You have to pay your goals, you have to do this, you have to do that, Okay, But I gotta tell you, I decided to do this because I decided I went that route and I wanted to go a different route. And that route that I wanted to go to is to help people. And you know what I found out when you help people in generally from you, the money comes anyway. You don't have to work for it anymore because it comes. If you know, all those people out there in the world are sitting there and waiting for money to fall out of the sky or that all say when you're okay.

11:14 Oh, money doesn't grow on trees or. For a farm, or it does, okay, But the fact is is that money will fall out of sky if you don't try to make it fall out if you. Don't wait for it, if you give of yourself. And this is a basic religious concept. I don't care what your faith is. If you help others, you'll get back ten times in return. But you got help first, not help later. Helping comes first. Let me tell you something. If I were to talk to you and I'm gonna help you change your life and you all of a sudden.

11:55 Got all your dreams and goals, that's worth all the money in the world. But the best part of that is I've gotten the gratification that. I help you. What are you gonna be willing to do in return? Some tells the mother you're gonna help others, you're also gonna be willing. To pay me for my service, sentar. So you can make. Money by helping people. You don't have to beat people over the head or work twenty four hours a day to make a living. And let me tell you some of this. We get caught in this run. It's called the forty five year plan. Does anybody know the forty five year plan? Forty five year plan?

12:37 Is this twenty years old? You get a job, you work for the company till you're sixty five, you retire. That's the forty five year plan. Pre boring, isn't it? Is it rewarding? Let me tell you, as a financial player, and anybody knows anything about insurance or investments or has been either been either the insurance salesperson or pitched by insurance salesperson. What they say to you. Ninety five percent of this. Country retires dead or dead broke. Only five percent of the country retires wealthy. As a meer of fact, some of us will be lucky of Social Security as even there when we retire.

13:20 As a matter of fact, if you save all your life for retirement, your income number one drops at retirement. So you get the same expenses, the same living habits unless money coming in. And let's say you do save. Up a million dollars. What was a million dollars worth twenty years ago? And what does it would work today? Nothing. It's a big difference the value of money. You know, people think back, especially back in nowadays. Oh, if you save for retirement, now the million dollars of retirement manybody here lived if they live to be the average from retirement Maladay, which is about twenty years, figure out go home, figure out your bills, figure out your expenses, and figure out how far.

14:10 That million dollars goes in twenty years. You're no longer rich. It's just the number that makes it sound great. Okay, let's talk about risk versus rewards. Let's spends just versa. But so you dont put ten things down on here. One of them could be a Ferrari testarosa. One of them could be to go out and buy a book. It doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to be small, It doesn't have to be medium. It doesn't have to be about money. It doesn't have to be about anything except what you, each and every one of you wants, Not what your kids want, not what your family wants, not what your friends want, what you want.

14:56 And let's talk about that for a second. Who here as kids? Why do you think when you go on plane and tell you to put the mask on yourself first? Anybody ever know a sen and either I know first, I'm lear that, I'm like waiting nuts. No, I kid first, But then you die. You can't help your kid. If you don't help yourself, you can't help your children. You can't help the people around you. Okay, And there's a quote in the Old Testament that says God helps those o. Say a louder. God haves those who help themselves. That's right.

15:37 So why sit back and wait for a miracle to happen. Miracles happen every single day. Guess what God creates miracles as a partnership with your God gives you abilities and talents when you're born. It's your job to use them and not waste them. How many people had to dream when. They were a teenager that right now they would never follow and never did follow because they had to go to the real world. Well, that dream wasn't just a dream. That was a talent that God gave me. And that was a talent that you choose to use.

16:20 Or not to use. Anybody know about the joke about the fisherman that comes out on the boat and in the middle of the ocean. I'll tell you real quick. Fisherman's out in the boat and middle of the ocean, had a big storm. The boat's about The saints sits here in phrase to God. Please God, send me help, give me a sign, send me health. Both comes by, stop says you need a help. He said, no, that's okay. I gotta take it care of him. Waiting, God's gonna help me. I'm gonna make this joke short. Happened two more times. The boat saints. He goes to heaven and he goes to God, God, why didn't you help me? What's going on here? Would I do so bad? And God said, I sent three books for you.

17:08 What do you want me to do? How many times has that happened in your life? How many times have things happened and you pass them by? How many times have things come out of blue or people come out of blue? And I can't do it right now? I have to do this. Maybe those are signs from God and you just don't know it. Okay, So the fact is is you make this list of ten and make it for you. What makes you happy? What's gonna give you happiness? Okay, I'll tell you a little bit about my dream list. But uh, my dream list has to do with money, business, family, friends, and my own personality.

17:56 What do I mean by that? One of my goals is to always be a positive person. That's a goal. It's not based on money. My goal is to make sure I make every single baseball game of my son. Well, he wore Wes Michael. My son is now gonna be eighteen in January. I have been to every single sporting event that he's had in his whole life. I don't care what happened. I I dinna tell you. I was at an event yesterday another speaker, and he told the story that really it hit real well again back to the choices in life.

18:37 And this story that he told was simply this. He had a choice. One day, he had a business meeting. They had to catch a plane for a speaking event, and it was at the plane was at the exact same time as his son's baseball game. As anybody ever ate carried that kind of choice they had to make in their life. Ninety percent of the time, most people big business because they think that's what they're supposed to do, that society's rules. Well, guess what, you have ways to do both. You have ways to rearrange, even if you have to make things harder on yourself, you have a way to do it. And he found a way. He got on a stand.

19:17 By flight that night, missed his flight because he decided to stay with his sons. First time his son got up to bat struck out. The second time, Sun got up to that struck out and he's sitting in her horn myself and I. Know you've been in this situation. Oh man, I can't believe I'm jeopardizing this business, meaning for this. Next time son gives up to that he lacks the ball and goes. Flying into center field, rounds first round, second round's. Third and slides it to home for the first home run who ever had.

20:00 Imagine if you looked up in this father lesson name. Imagine if his father got the phone call and realizing you're sitting there at a business and he wasn't there a seed the first homework. There's a lot of first especially when you have kids. So in essence, how many times have you made that choice and you. Wish you made it for your choice were based with these choices over with. That's why I say you can choose success, you can choose failure. Why do most people choose failure? I mean you're probably saying, I'm sure a lot of people are saying, well, I don't really choose failure, which just happens. H Oh, it doesn't you choose it.

20:42 You don't choose it consciously, and you don't choose it because you're actually choosing to fail. But it's the choices you make in your life. One of those things is risk first reward. Risk first reward. You weigh a risk of every decision you ever make against the reward if the reward is more than the risks. Tony Robbins has a philosophy for interview that have seen Tony Robbins pain and pleasure. That's risk of remarking, what do we do? We do things to avoid pain or gain pleasure. Unfortunately, I'll bet you'll look back on your life that you've done more to avoid pain than you have to try to get pleasures. When I can try and go for the pleasure, you avoid the pain.

21:23 Okay, you never know what may happen. Most success stories come from nothing. Most successful, most successful people have had work failures than anybody else. Why risk first remark? They were willing to keep taking the risk, keep gaying up and taking the risk, taking the risk, taking the risk. What happens when we get into our thirties we stop taking risks, We stop. Taking a risk. Okay, because we have children, we have a family, We are older now, we don't have as much time okay, but that's not the right thing.

22:03 To Colonel Sanders ain't been in a story you have sixty seven years. Old way he started Kentucky, Bryde Chicken, d Brooke ray Crop was gonna fIF piece when you came up with the idea with Donald's okay, four, I'm. Sure lots of people see four cars on the road. He had a third grade education. So let's talk about that belief system for a second. Is that elimiting the leaf that we're talking like, you have to go get your education to be successful. I got my education. I'm worked eighty hours of lead to pay for my college education. My coallenge education did not put me right here. I put me here. I did it because that was society's rules.

22:46 I'm glad I did it. I got an education. But if you look at Tony Robbins, tiny Robbins dropped out of high school. For it had a third grade education. Knowledge is power. I believe in that philosophy. Have you heard that philosophy? Yes, I don't believe in it. Shocked you, Dinna. Knowledge is potential power. Because knowledge, if it's not used, is not powerful, which brings me to my final noss. It is such a short period of time. But people go to these seminars, they go to see people like me, or.

23:32 They go to sales training seminars and they go you know, about a month later, you know that guy wasn't as good as I thought he was. It was just a temporary pumpo. You go back to work and you're like a ball on fire and that an disappears. Because anybody know, life disappears action. Just because I'm telling you things right now, it doesn't mean it's gonna make your life magically better. I'm not telling you Anything's there fall at a sky. You have to work at it, and you have to apply what you learn. If somebody goes to a seminar of mine or anybody else's, they're gonna tell you, make your notes, do your action plan.

24:18 You have to do something about it. It's not gonna just happen. It takes work. It's easy work. I believe It'm working smart and not working hard. So knowledge is potential power. Because if you have the knowledge, you have the potential for the power. It's up to you to turn knowledge into power. It won't just power, Okay, So you have to I'll tell you something. I live and reading. When I say, if you look at my library, I have every tape, every book ever anybody I see, whether I like them or not, inviter takes the books and when somebody yesterday in answer, I bought his set.

24:58 I came here Lilian those downstairs. I came to watch her. I let my food. I made a choice, came to watch her. And you may say I don't need to watch her because I. Do the same thing. Basically, it's not exactly the same, but similar. If I can pick up one thing, it's all worthwhile. I went down and bought her book. I didn't even look inside the book. I just bought it. I didn't look to see if it ain't good, because I just have one thing out of it to change my life forever. And the same goes for every one of you. And the bottom line is is if you can take the time to read a book, take the time to listen it takes, take the time to watch videos, do what they tell you to do, because that's if you take.

25:42 If you want long lasting success, it is a process that you have to live daily. It doesn't come from a book, it doesn't come from entertainment. Those are just tools help you to assist you to get. Where you want to, because then your turn to live it and read it. And when I say lived comes here, when it comes here. Now, we just had a half an. Hour of speaking where I went over a few topics, and I can tell you right now here's the example of living it, walking it in your art, in your mind. I didn't even prepare for today. It is different than every other lecture I've done. I have a tape over there.

26:25 It has some similar stuff. I'm not the same. You go in my seminars. Not one seminar is exactly the same. Why because I'm not reading a book to you. I'm giving you me a part of me. Now you take that and make a part of you to get what you want. You may have different goals, and you may have something else you want to get added than you do. Everybody is different. You may want You may want a Honda my name, want a BMW? Does that be an? A? Goals? Ain't different? No is what makes you happy? Be true to yourself. Happiness is truth to yourself. Right Okay, Now, now we're gonna have a little fun part. But the person like to see if anybody wants to saying, has any questions, So don't show that you have any questions.

27:26 You can blurt them out now. If you want to talk to me afterwards, you can and have. A boot downstairs. But I'm gonna do you have some fun stuff for those of you who attended. And I'm gonna have a drawing. I want to now you can go around with this and there's a bunch of things in here. Every people loss and then she's gonna come around. We have some pins, we have some candies, whatever you want, and she has a form. I want you all to fill out the form real quick, okay, and we're gonna have a draw Whoever wins to draw is gonna get I have this tape here. I sell it for twenty dollars. This is from New Life Expo I d lecture there. It's an hour long. I sell it for twenty dollars. Whoever wins the drawing gets us for free. Anybody else if you want to buy the tape, you just come up here and let me know. I will also tell you that just for billing out the form, I will send you in the mail copy of the CD.

28:25 I can put it in three different formats. It's a PowerPoint presentation. I made a PowerPoint. We're Acrobat reader and HTML. This is my steps to success. Okay. I will also send you a more that you use yourself. That is the action plan to take the steps to get to success. It's very simple, and if you follow what this CD says to do, I can guarantee you that your life will change forever from that day forward. And it's just my free gift for you for being here and taking your time, because I really appreciate you being here. I thank you and I love the opportunity to help you.

29:07 If anybody wants to see what the power point presentation looks like, I'll pass this around. Everybody can take a look at. This is the scene that's on the tape, so you can get a look at. We'll startle. I'll put you on lead. Let's see now, is anybody have any questions? Now? What do you do? Right down? What do you do with the dream list? Right down? The ten things are most important to you right now to achieve and that is your goal list. Everything you learned about a goal setting you can throw away for right now. King, I don't want you to have to go through a long work, Okay, just write them down now, Here's the important part, and everybody pay intention is those ten things are to be in front of your.

29:58 Face everywhere you are. What does that mean. Put it on the mirror in your bathroom, put it on your knight's hand, put it in front of you in your car, put it in your wallet, put it on your desk wherever you are. On a daily basis, make multiple copies and make sure that it is there. You hear the writer? Does anybody want you to make multiple copies and put it everywhere? I focus exactly, remind you every single minute. It's focus. It's all about focus. Okay. Reason people lose their goals and dreams is because they lose the visualization of their goals and dreams.

30:42 They forget about it. It's very easy to forget about your goals and dreams if they're not in front of you. Many people talk them in their drawer, talk them in their wallet, what have you? You don't look at them when they're there. Now, I will also tell you there should always be ten things on your lists. When you accomplish one, cross and often replace it. Never have an empty spot, and never have one that get already completed. Get that feeling of accomplishment. Make sure you're putting a little things on us. So you can get that feeling of accomplishment. Like I said, I want to go by out to buy this book.

31:23 Now. I'm also gonna leave you with a nerd thing on the on the sheets there. I also have a I have actually two books on right now, but one book is gonna be based on this power point presentation. It's gonna probably be available by November. If you were to pre ordered the book here at the Shove, you will get a discount on the price of the book. If you're buying it now, repay it. It's kind of like when you go to it or US to prepay for a PlayStation game. Okay, And when the book comes. Into the print and it sooner, it'll be sooner. I will get it right out to you. The tape. If you get the tape, you should listen to it over and over and over again. Listen to your car.

32:06 And that goes back to what I'm saying about walking the walk. I love music. Music is one of my favorite things. But when I'm in the part, there's always a tape in there. There's always somebody else's tape in there, and I've listened to my tapes about fifty times. Each repetition is the mother of skill. Keep it in your brain. You have been programmed all your life to think one way. It takes a lot of work and a lot of reprogramming to program yourself for success to get in order to get rid of all those bad thoughts and bad habits. And you've been trained all your life that when you get into your thirties, you.

32:47 Go, oh, well, they were right. You know, I'll never be a success. I'll never this, I'll never that. I got news for you. The only way to break a bad habit is to replace it with a new one. If you want new habits, if you want a better life, take every bad habit you have and replace it with something new. Otherwise that bad habit will stay there and you will live by that bad habit. All those things your parents told you, if they were negative or held you back, all those things your friends, family will have you replace them. And the last thing I will say about that is most people don't realize right, your family and your friends.

33:40 Are not actually your support. Nobody's ever told you that before. What does that mean? Do your parents want to see you succeed, Yes, they do. They don't want to see you to succeed more than them that you've done. Your friends especially, nobody wants to see you success seem more than you. You are your biggest fan. You are the one that's going to make it happen. Have you ever seen have you ever heard the term it's lonely at the top, You know, whne slowly at the top, because when you rise up the ladder of life, all those friends you've had along the way drop off the ladder because they don't.

34:22 Want to fee with you because they're in their own misery or what have you heard her jealous? Well, I would say that that's lonely at the top. There's just a lot more room up here. So for all of you that love this homeopathic and holistic medicine. Like I do, just think of it this way. If you want to breathe cleaner air, run up the latter of success, because there's a lot more clean air out there. The air down and down here with everybody else is real polluted with negativity, and that negativity rubs off. Pause. People do not bring negative people up. Negative people bring positive people down.

35:06 Negative forces in your life go into your subconscious. Without you knowing them. Okay, negative forces in your life are accepted by your subconscious. Positive or not. That's why people get so negative, because you're subconscious collects negative books much easier than positive books. But if you want to think that, it's real hard to be positive and it's a lot of work. Who here actually loves to go to the gym and work out? Most people go to the gym and work out because they need to, want to, or if society says they should, a lot of people don't like it at all, but do it anyway.

35:53 Well, guess what. It takes sixty four muscles to make a crown. In only K twelve to make us. So if you don't like working hard, you better start smiling and stop frown. Any comments questions. Anybody is welcome to join in now if then once, I'll give the podium over to you. Do we get all the worms yet? Where you can grab that one? Any kid? Anybody else need a pin or candy? Let's uh pull those up? Throw them in here?
