Day 4 - Sunday
Group Meetup
Steve:  About fifteen people showed up to our 8am meetup.  Not everyone stayed for the duration, although most did.  Fortunately the concourse was not at all crowded and was fairly quiet during that time, so we had a good spot all to ourselves.  We […]

Day 2 - Friday
Brian Weiss, M.D. - Same Soul, Many Bodies
Steve:  Friday began with a six-hour workshop on past life regression therapy from Dr. Brian Weiss, author of Many Lives, Many Masters.  The main reason I opted to attend this workshop (there were 9 to choose from) is that […]

Last weekend Erin and I attended Hay House’s 2007 I Can Do It! Conference at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.  This was my third year attending this conference and Erin’s second.  You may have seen our review of the 2006 seminar.  Keynote speakers included Dr. Wayne Dyer, Bill Phillips, Doreen Virtue, Christiane Northrup, and Deepak Chopra.
I Can […]

Virtually every time management system teaches that you must prioritize your projects to make sure you’re working on what’s truly important instead of getting caught up in minor things.  However, few systems explain precisely how to do this.  How do you decide which task is really the most important at any given time?  Is it the one that’s most urgent, […]

A while back I mentioned that Erin and I would try to arrange a meetup at the I Can Do It! conference in Las Vegas.  The conference just kicked off last night and runs through Sunday, May 20th.  Erin posted on her blog earlier this week that people could email her for the time and location of our […]

Since I receive many questions about this topic, I thought it would be fun to share a candid insider’s look at the reality of being an A-list blogger.  These are my personal observations, so I’m not saying they’re true of other high-traffic bloggers, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these patterns held up.  While I normally […]

The Paraliminals discount for StevePavlina.com visitors that was announced in late 2006 will expire this Friday, May 18th, so if you’re interested in getting these Holosync-driven CDs at a discount, you have a few more days left.
The Paraliminals discount has been offered for about six months, and quite a number of people took advantage of it.  However, Learning Strategies has informed me that they’re […]

Testing ideas through direct experience is among the best ways to learn and grow.  If you want to know if an idea really has merit, test it under real-world conditions.  Then you’ll have your answer.
For example, suppose you want to ask someone out for a date.  One simple test would be to go right up to the person and […]

Here’s the third installment of 33 Rules to Boost Your Productivity (see Volume 1 and Volume 2).
These are a bit sillier and less politically correct than the first two volumes — I had to stretch to come up with more ideas – but many are still valid in certain situations.  Just be sure to take them with a grain […]
