First & foremost, I want to dedicate this page to the wonderful, caring & generous man who made it all possible for me: Armand Morin!
Armand, there are no adequate words to describe how I felt the day you
told me I was actually going to the Big Seminar. I had already given up
hope, and when I got that email and that phone call, you would have
sworn I had wings! :-)
My memories of our whole conversation that day are warm & full of admiration for you.
The time you shared means even more to me than ever since we met
in person. I learned so much that day and I continue to learn
from you. You are not only the salt of the earth, you are brilliant. It is a joy to know you, and a source of great pride for me.
For want of some more eloquent phraseology, you are one of
the people on this earth who deserves much joy & happiness in his
life & who has a heart bigger than the earth! I truly do love you,
Armand. You are one special human being!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
~Your Friend Always, Donna~

~Just look at a few of the 'superstars' I got to meet the night before

These
great people were all present and I was lucky enough to be invited Thursday evening by
Joel Christopher to also be a part of a live teleseminar right in this room with
these terrific people, also Len Thurmond and Holly Cotter who showed
up later on! I also was privileged to meet & get to know Sean
McElhone (who took this photo & thousands more). Sean is so
warm & outgoing, I wish I could be more like him! He just seemed
to know everyone & be friends with them, as well. It was a
wonder to behold. Thanks for all you did, too, Sean, it was a joy to meet you!! ;-)
The antics between Joel, Jason, Frank & George were priceless, you really
had to be there, to watch them cutting up and simultaneously pulling
off a very good LIVE teleseminar in spite of the laughter & antics going
on in that room. (I took notes the whole time there, too, just
because that's how I learn best, and it does make a permanent record of
the tips & cool stuff you glean from these guys.) And this was all just
the night before the Big Seminar! There was lots more to come!

It was truly cool the way I met Joel,
as we'd been corresponding & he had an idea of who I was from my
photo stationery I use in emails. I was feeling a bit "lost" when
I first arrived at the hotel, after a taxi ride from the airport with Carl Galletti
(whom I thought I recognized from the net, but wasn't totally sure &
Phyllis (his companion - what a sweet lady!) and a couple of other
people I didn't know (yet). I was riding the elevator down to the
lobby to go & explore the meeting room the night before the events
began, like I'd learned from George Callens, prior to the event.
The elevator door opened on the way down & lo & behold! Who was standing there waiting to get on the elevator but Joel Christopher! He smiled his BIG, friendly smile & exclaimed, "DONNA!" and opened his arms for a hug.
And this was our first face-to-face meeting! I gave him a
big hug & we chatted all the way down. This was where he
invited me to the live teleseminar I got to sit in on. Totally cool, huh?
All throughout the amazing three days, he and others would ask if there was anything I needed, or would answer my questions patiently. What a wonderful group!
Millionaires are just regular people like you & me, and the only
real difference is that they have lots of money....lol. I intend
to join that 'heretofore elusive club' one day. I just keep learning & growing, from being there at Armand's truly outstanding seminar
& listening to the absolutely fascinating, wise & informative
speakers & taking copious notes all three days. It was just
AMAZING!!! (I know, I keep saying that, but it's the best word to describe these kind of events... especially Armand's, IMHO.)
The incredible energy at one of these events is probably one of the most
valuable assets, besides the humongous learning experiences,
meeting the 'greats' of internet marketing, meeting fabulous people
just like you & me, with big dreams of becoming an internet
success, and who are in all stages of internet "stardom" plus the many joint ventures & newly
forged friendships.
The synergy in the room is almost palpable
during
the entire event!
If you don't get a chance to attend, the next-best gift you can give
yourself is to purchase the videos or the audio versions of the event
you missed. That's a part of how I got it in my head that I
simply HAD to go to Armand Morin's Big Seminar. I had bought Joel
Christopher's Video Set from his Master List Builder Workshop and saw
all the incredible speakers, heard the tools & tricks of the trade
being shared with the attendees, took gazillions of notes, and re-wound
them and watched them over & over again.
|
|
|
This is just me, so you know I'm real, too. :-)
|
|
|
|
|
 |
I
honestly can't tell you how much of an honor it was to get to go to
Armand's Seminar... you can bet I will never forget it, either.
That's why I created this webpage. (It
will be a work in progress until I get all the photos of everyone there
& all my feelings & impressions down exactly the way I want
them.) It might take me a long time, but I want to finish it!
It's now become a work of love.
There
are some people there who have touched my heart in a special way &
forever will be indelibly imprinted upon it. I made some truly
special friends! That's something money just can't buy!

The other thing that really had me dreaming of being able to to to Armand's Big Seminar, was listening to the
teleseminars that Armand had been hosting all the weeks before the Dallas
event he was planning. Armand has a gentle demeanor, a kindness
you can hear in his voice, and the man is an absolute genius. I
think if I could spend an entire month under his tutelage, that there
is nothing on the planet I wouldn't be able to create & make a
fortune with. He is instrumental in my being able to attend his
seminar, and there is no way I can explain it, but he knows and he also
knows that I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life.
Armand, you rock! I love you dearly and I always will. (His beautiful wife,
Marianna, is also a very special person I got to meet in Dallas, and I appreciate her warmth
& kindness all throughout the seminar activities. She is the kind of person you want to get to know better.)

You
can see they were having a wonderful time! Armand fed us VERY well on
Saturday night & hosted a karaoke party & dance for all the
attendees & speakers. It was a gala affair for sure!
He's planning to feed us all even BETTER all throughout the next one.... totally cool...

I'm telling you from my heart, there is nothing like it! Start
saving your money, start studying the speakers at the event you want to
attend, think about it, dream it, write it down, make it a living goal,
and it will manifest itself in your life. Get George Callens'
great series on 31 things you need to do before, during & after
these events... it's a goldmine! And speaking of George, thank
you, dear person, for all that you did for me before, during and after
the seminar. You are one terrific guy!
George attends many seminars each year, and he always makes sure you are always comfortable, well-connected with the many mentors, that you don't just sit back & feel left out, but makes sure that you participate & get to network. He's become pretty much indispensible to the staff & the attendees now!

You
can see by the size of my grin that I had SUCH a great time meeting all
the amazing & terrific people at Armand's BIG SEMINAR!

I will never trade being able to meet Jimmy D. Brown, either. Now,
there is a genuine, down to earth, absolutely WONDERFUL man. He has a
heart of gold, he doesn't put on airs, and he is one of the smartest
and best online mentors you will ever meet. I had seen his name all
over the net, for months & months as I searched the net for
marketing ideas & things that would help me learn this business.
I have bought many of his products, and yet I still wondered all the
while... who is this person?
What is he like? Well, his
genuine nature shines through his words online and he is every bit of the kind hearted man & amazing marketer he appears to be and much, much more! Jimmy, may God shine
on your life in a glorious way forever and ever, because you deserve it
more than almost anyone I know!!! I love you, too!

That's Jimmy D. Brown on the far
left, Sean McElhone, John Reese, and Frank Garon. You couldn't
ask for a sweeter bunch of guys! All of them are warm, funny,
genuinely nice
to be around, and I feel very privileged to have been able to go to
Dallas & meet them. You just can't believe they are all REAL
people until you attend something like this! I wish I could list
them all first, because they are truly wonderful human beings!

~Here I am with Jimmy, Jason Potash & Alex Sampson...WOW~
Right in the midst of all that marketing brainpower & success!

It's just too amazing for words & they'll all be in San Francisco, too!!

After the event, Jimmy and I started corresponding, and I came to love
& respect him all the more. He shared with me in countless
ways and I will be forever grateful. Thank you, Jimmy D. Brown, for all the caring & considerate things you have done for me. One day
I shall be in the position to repay you, but for now you have my
profound gratitude and my highest esteem for you and all the admirable things that you stand for.
John Reese, now there's a brilliant, amazing & wonderful guy, too! I saw him on Joel's
video, and knew in my deepest heart of hearts, that I absolutely had to
meet this guy. He is warm, funny, and yet he can be compassionate
& caring & serious when the situation calls for it. He
has earned a special place in my heart, too. The kind words
& the uplifting things he said to me are forever emblazoned in my
psyche.
The hug & the caring look on his face when we said goodbye
told me all I needed to know about him. He was just as I'd
imagined him & MORE!
(It turns out that this guy has been an internet marketing genius
for years, and he is so sucessful, I'm sure he could pay cash for my
entire family's assets (including shirt-tail cousins!) and still have
plenty left over. Yet... not a conceited bone in his body... and this is true of everyone I met there. You just don't believe it until you actually experience it.)
Then, after I got home, John answered my emails too, the elusive guy I
never could even find on the net before the seminar had come to life!
The day I called him in tears a few weeks after the seminar when
I was not having any luck with a business decision I'd made, John was
SO supportive & caring & he renewed my hope that YES! I can do
this!!! I think he knows how much I truly love my friend John Reese!!!
Thank you, John, now & always. :-)
Before I go any further, I want to also thank one of the sweetest, most
generous of his time & efforts and another one of the most
brilliant friends I have, Ryan Deiss! I wrote to Ryan as one of the first internet people I'd ever written to, and he was so responsive, generous, kind, caring and HELPFUL,
I was just amazed and humbled. I got to MEET him at the Big Seminar,
and got a huge hug and even more advice & encouragement than before (as if that
were possible!). Ryan is truly one of the best!
We continue
to correspond, and I consider it a great honor, because these guys are
highly successful entrepreneurs whose time is extremely valuable.
It makes it all the more meaningful to me that they share it with
me when I need them. Thank you, Ryan, one day you shall be repaid tenfold!
Ryan and Jimmy recently co-authored an amazing product you might wish
to explore. It's an ebook that can teach you how to be successful
online with your own products & information, and with their awesome
expertise behind it, you just can't lose! I know they spent
several weeks compiling and co-authoring it so it would be a superb
resource. See that here.
(No, I don't get anything for promoting... I just really believe
in both of them & know that people will benefit from anything they
create!)
What can I say about Uncle Frankie Garon?
OMG.... give me time to contemplate & then watch out! :-)
Here is a man who ALSO gives of himself & his
expertise, and is one of the savviest marketers I've ever met.... and
one of the funniest! (Much more to come!) Suffice it to say, just for the moment, that he's earned my love
& trust, too. Not an easy feat in today's world! I love my
friend Frank Garon.... and I always will.

This is Frank's Latest Project with Lee Benson ... quite amazing!

My heart just swells & sometimes I feel like I'm nearing tears when
I work on this page, and it's partly because most people just don't believe
that these wonderful entities are REAL people. Oh, yes they are!!!
And ultimately, this page will show you just how awesome they all really
are (well, at least in my humble opinion!). I'm still going to tell you about Alex Sampson, Jason Potash, Carl
Galletti & Phyllis, Bart Baggett, George McKenzie, Randy Charach, Alex Mandossian, Rhea Perry, Matt Gill, and many more.
I have more to write about Ryan, too, I've just run out of steam
for now, and I'm so remiss that I didn't have the resources or time to attend the next one, but I
wanted to at least get this up on the net, even though it's yet unfinished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
==>Lots more to come!
I just have to do other things, like go to my new job... (for now,
anyway) and clean house, mow, do laundry & so forth. For this
website, I want to express myself in the most understandable way & say
it from my heart, so I can really do this page justice! Therefore it
will continue to be a work in progress until it is complete and says
ALL I want it to say about each & every person I met at the Big
Seminar. (I may not live that long, but I'm sure going to try... *smile*)
I just can't say enough about Armand & his seminars, and his next one
promised to be even more awesome (as if that could even be possible!!) :-) Armand's Big Seminar II was an event to remember, as well. (So I hear... *sigh* I wanted to go SOOO badly, but couldn't. (when
you go see his website, give the page a bit to load, it's grand & full of
terrific bonuses, photos, audio testimonials & all the information you'll need to make
your choice the next go-around!) I hope you will consider taking that important step, because you will never, ever regret it!
Thank you for your time,

The June issue of *InspiraSeed©* is amazing with a self-empowering article by Dr. Joe Vitale,
whom I also met in the elevator :-) and is yet another very savvy guy
who was at the Big Seminar! Read it for FR^E & see why we all
love Dr. Joe, too!!
