From the desk of Dr. John Spencer Ellis
Greetings to you on this beautiful Monday.
Can life lessons be found on the strip and at a buffet in Vegas?
I turn 40 this week and celebrated my birthday in Las Vegas. Let’s just say that Vegas is an interesting cross section of humanity pressed into a few square miles in the desert. Obviously, people act a bit different while in Vegas; however it is often simply a magnification of who they are the rest of the year.
Let’s start with the buffet; that endless array of foods (many good) that you would not otherwise eat in a week that somehow finds their way on to your plate in 20 minutes. As a wellness professional, I am curious what people eat. Without exception, the people who were at least 100 pounds overweight ate the most pancakes, syrup, bacon, and dessert. And, they went back for thirds. This is not an exaggeration. Note to all: “Fat genes” are not in the buffet line. You cannot use that excuse. We all have to be honest and take responsibility for our actions.
The interesting behavior continued on The Strip. This observation was more about social skills (or lack of). I do realize that people are moving quickly and focusing on their own vacation. However, I observed a multitude of social skills that resembled a 3 year old when asked to share a toy.
One shaved headed “gang banger” looking guy mocked a middle aged man (with his family) about his full head of hair. Really? What’s the point?
There where the “spring breakers” who pushed past an older couple to get ahead on a sidewalk 15 feet wide. I wonder if they would do that to their grandparents.
And, in the hotel gym, I easily overheard a loudmouth exclaiming to other people he just met. I believe his quote was, “I don’t need alcohol to be an #@!%….. I do it really well on my own without any help”. I bet his wife really appreciates him.
That’s it for my Vegas report. When I observe this behavior on a large scale, it makes it much easier to understand why our society has not progressed further in all our years on this planet. We are not perfect. However, when one’s actions are so far from acceptable and productive, you have to quickly move in the general direction of success. Let’s all do our part.
Have a wonderful day.
Be well.
John

From the desk of Dr. John Spencer Ellis
Greetings to all of you familiar with the Spencer Institute, NESTA and John Spencer Ellis Enterprises.
As you know, it is our mission to provide you with education, tools, programs and resources to enhance your life in every way possible.
In today’s economic climate, many of us have turned our focus to wealth creation as part of our personal development.
Because of this, I wanted to let you know about my friend, colleague, and cast member of The Compass, T. Harv Eker. He is the author of the N.Y. Times Best Seller “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”. Read on to learn about his inspiring program which will change your life forever.
One evening with T Harv Eker will turn you into a Wealthy Warrior
Register now for The Wealthy Warrior Evening Event – How to Succeed in Today’s Economy… NO MATTER WHAT! Featuring T. Harv Eker
This event will SELL OUT FAST – reserve your seat! (Discount Coupon Code Below)
T. Harv Eker and I urge you to watch this video:
If your computer cannot play the video, read the corresponding message below.
It’s no secret that we are in the midst of what some people are calling one of the greatest financial downturns in history. People are scared to death. They are confused. They are uncertain. They’ve lost their confidence and with it, many of their dreams. Most people have taken on a victim mentality and become weak. They are the worriers and the watchers.
And then there is the Wealthy Warrior. The true warrior, the enlightened warrior, the Wealthy Warrior is one who conquers him or herself. The warrior’s way is the way of action. They come from strength vs. weakness, courage vs. fear and opportunity vs. obstacles.
John David Rockefeller made his billions from 1929 to 1934 during the heart of the Great Depression. John David Rockefeller was a Wealthy Warrior. The fact is, this may be the best opportunity of your entire lifetime to get rich… really rich… if you know what you’re doing or are willing to learn.
You must train yourself to be a Wealthy Warrior.
This spring, in the season of bloom, I, T. Harv Eker will be doing evening presentations in 11 select cities to teach people the ways of the Wealthy Warrior: How to Succeed in Today’s Economy… NO MATTER WHAT.
During this power-packed evening program:
- You will learn specific strategies to not just survive in the current conditions, but to thrive
- You will learn how the Wealthy Warrior thinks and acts
- You will be taught the secret to finding the opportunities that will make you rich
- If you own a business, you’ll learn the single most important thing you can do right now
- Whether you have investments or not, you will have a clear plan of what you want to do and unlike many others, you will have peace of mind and be able to sleep at night
- When it comes to financial advice, you will learn who to listen to and more importantly, who NOT to listen to – the Wealthy Warrior honors fact and understands that opinions can kill
It boils down to this: the next 2 years may well determine the rest of your financial life. So decide. Decide who you are. More importantly, decide who you want to be.
I invite you to join me at the Wealthy Warrior evening event.
Do not come alone. A lone warrior risks defeat. While a world of warriors – enlightened, Wealthy Warriors – will win this economic battle. Not just for ourselves but for our children and for the generations that follow.
I ask you to join me in this crusade to empower people once again. I ask you to be a soldier of the light and to lift people’s spirits. Bring everyone you care about. Bring everyone you know to learn and share the ways of the Wealthy Warrior.
Okay everyone, the time has come. Make your choice. Will you be a worrier, a watcher or a Wealthy Warrior? You are now at a crossroads. Choose wisely.
I hereby request the presence of yourself and all those you care about at the Wealthy Warrior evening event. Or by Tele-seminar if absolutely necessary. The warrior’s way is the way of action. So click below or call to register now.
