I arrived in Las Vegas, NV yesterday to attend this weekend’s No Excuses Summit. http://www.noexcusessummit.com. If you are an internet marketer, network marketer or both, this is the place to be. I’m here with hundreds of people (almost 900) to learn as many additional tips, tools and techniques as possible to help my business and the business of others using the power of the internet.

And you know what? Day 1 did not disappoint. Far from it.

A jam packed evening of sessions followed by social time allowed for learning from the speakers and each other as we let our defenses down and began to share and mastermind. I knew I had to be here but I wasn’t sure what to expect. Day 1 delivered.

I’ve been to seminars before and have seen my share of good and bad speakers.

I wondered what the sessions would be like and what I could learn. After all, many of the top income internet marketing and network marketing earners make HUGE amounts of money, and while they may tell us they care about us in videos and blog posts, you cannot help but sometimes wonder, is that all for show? Do they really mean it when the words “I want to help you and your business” or do they just want me to buy their new product?

My answer to that is: ABSOLUTELY – They are authentic in their caring.

Only a handful of speakers have spoken so far and I could feel their caring in their presentations. The energy in the room was one of gratitude and you could feel some of the humbleness. However, Like my personal training always tells me “No pain no gain” or “If it doesn’t hurt at least a little you’re not working hard enough to build your muscles”.

Takeaway #1: This will be work, and this won’t be easy everyday, so get your mindset on right because this isn’t about handholding. You have to want it for yourself and until you do you’ll be stalled. Your sponsor cannot, will not and should not do it for you. Your coach can only guide you in your business, you have to do the work.

Takeaway #2: There are no excuses why you cannot do what top earners have done and this weekend we will begin to break down the blockages. We can show you the tools, but you have to find what suits you and apply them because everyone is different.

The one on one/small group time just hanging out with leaders and like minded folks was terrific. The willingness and openness in discussions of what has worked and what hasn’t was great and the coaching we were able to do with one another as we evaluate where we are in the process was pretty cool. I could see transformations happening around me.

Some people will decide to go back to their J-O-B and be perfectly happy. Others will decide it is time to take their businesses to the next level and make it happen.

Either way – the process is working. And that is the point.

Time to head off to Day 2.  I’ll report back soon.
