- What you guys don't know is that,
when we first got here tonight, Dave,
there was a wire that he was missing,
trying to get the video hooked up.
He ran from here all the way up to London Drugs
on the corner of Granville and Georgia,
and back down here in about five minutes
to get what he needed.
He's a true, make it happen guy.
So really give him a good hand, yeah.
(clapping)
He's still tweaking, they always are.
Okay, how many of you would like to accelerate,
oh you know what I need before, I need this thing going.
That's what I need.
How many of you would like to accelerate
your business results?
That's make more money faster
and at the same time, take more time off, yes?
Okay, just a check, is there anybody in the room
that does not want that?
Okay.
Just gotta make sure.
And how many of you are in a situation
where you really believe that if you
apply some good strategy, some good principle,
some good effort, you actually can double your income
in 2015, yes?
Absolutely.
I really want to hold you to that
'cuz the whole purpose of this presentation now,
over the next hour and a half
or hour and 15 minutes, is going to be
to show you seven strategies that I've found
that can accelerate your business results
to a whole new level.
So my name's Andrew Barber-Starkey
and I'm just excited to be here.
You know, we sent, I don't even know where we sent Dan.
We sent (mumbles) to Puerto Rico
and then they said, oh by the way,
would you speak to our group?
So here's what you got.
We're gonna make it a good night, yes?
Excellent, good.
So I'm gonna teach you these seven principles.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean
that you're going to double your income
and be able to take more time off.
What do I mean by that is that,
it takes more than knowing.
If I just give you the information, it's not enough.
In fact, if you pay attention to my presentation,
if you take notes, if you leave inspired to take action,
but you do nothing differently
when you leave the room tonight,
you'll be...
What is it?
Same as ever?
Yes, what else?
What else would you say about a person
that takes a bunch of notes, gets inspired,
but does nothing?
They're lazy.
Not motivated.
They suck.
Well here's what I say about them.
(audience laughing)
Here's what I say about them.
They're perfectly normal.
How do I know that?
Because how many times have you been
and seen great speakers and trenners and did you go out
and things rocket to the heights after that?
No.
Information doesn't help you.
Knowledge is not power.
It really isn't.
And I don't want to paint a doom and gloom situation here,
but I really want to leave you with a realistic perspective
that if you want something different in life,
you're gonna have to do something differently,
not just learn.
You have to actually get out there
and fumble around and do the awkward fumbling
and making mistakes and taking action
and getting up early and staying late and all of that stuff.
Or else it's just not gonna happen for you.
And it's mostly just about putting things into action.
The ideas I'm gonna tell you,
there's seven very important principles I'll teach you.
If you put those into action,
you'll be just stunned with what happens.
Any one of them will accelerate you to another level
and if you do all seven at once,
oh my God, things just take off.
Your success will increase exponentially.
But you're not doing it.
How many of you already know there's things
you should be doing that you're not doing?
Show up every hand please, yes.
So I'm not talking out of my hat here, right?
That's the way it is.
You already know what to do, you're just not doing it.
It's the implementation that matters.
