The weekend before last I went to two sessions of a really good motivational seminar. Had been put onto it through Revive a semi-vegan restaurant in town that specialises in healthy and yummy food. Normally it costs $249 to attend but due to sponsorship from Sanitarium Health Foods, this year it free, so on the Friday evening off I trotted. Had done a bit of reading about this All Power Seminar on the web as you do and was a little suspicious due to it being 'bible-based,' after all me and religion do not go together, however I was pleasantly surprised..
Leo Schreven, the speaker was great, really funny and talked a million miles an hour, but not too fast you couldn't understand him. Had a lot of funny anecdotes and made a lot of sense. The 'bible-based' nature of the seminar was in the proverbs that were selected for use as they related to the material being presented. I can deal with someone quoting a book. Though he believes in 'God' Leo was not pushing a religion, somewhat suspicious of organised faith and mindful of a diverse audience.
All in all it was a great couple of days and I got a lot out of it, especially in the finance session where he referenced a lot of the books that I had been reading as having sound advice. Especially liked the bit where he showed the math on if you want to win the lotto in NZ, don't buy a ticket each week at $13 a go, invest it and let compound interest make you a millionaire over time..
The investment seminar last Monday again backed up stuff that I am trying to follow and have been reading, so that was good to have similar messages come from different sources.
My next post will contain the source of my excitement and euphoria for the last few days...
