Hi Marc,
Thanks for the great chuckle!
And thanks for shining a light on the importance of changing those around you, even if it isn`t part of your overall plan. If you help enough others achieve what they want, achieving your `Personal Belize` is almot guaranteed.
Keep up the great work, see you at the top.

But the MOST important thing, in my opinion, is to set some really, really clear goals for yourself. And keep updating them and changing them as life goes on.
Les Hewitt said it at the last workshop. Jack Canfield says it in his new book The Success Principles. Brian Tracy says it, Anthony Robbins says it, all motivational speakers begin their books or talks with the same subject: Set clear goals for yourself, get clear on your beliefs,and take full responsability for your life.
And Don says it too, with the "Personal Belize" concept.
So age has nothing to do with it - but your goals have everything to do with it.
My kids have already been influenced by my attitude as well. The other night at supper time, my 13 year old declared that he planned on becoming a millionaire when he grows up.
I said "That`s a great attitude son! Do you have a plan for accomplishing this?"
He said "Yep!"
I said "What is it?"
He looked at me, dead serious, and said: "Inheritance!"
Oh well... at least he doesn`t plan on working himself into the ground to get there! That`s my boy.
Cheers!
Marc
