Newsletter Issue #103 – $34 Billion Man

HAPPY HOLIDAY YEAR END WEBINAR 

As a sign of  brotherly love and equal opportunity, I am giving a QLA Webinar Dec 28 from Guthrie Castle! The cost is zero, though it has been suggested more than once to charge for webinars to illuminate the people that are not as serious as some! The hard core QLA devotees want the webinar to themselves! But for now, it will still be open to ALL – even the non 100% QLA DEVOTEES! Can’t believe there is discrimination amongst the QLA faithful! LOL!

I believe we are ALL self-made and only successful people talk about it! But I will give this QLA WEBINAR to end up 2013 to ALL, answering questions and giving sage bits of QLA advice for 2014 – AT NO COST TO ALL THAT ARE INTERESTED IN CHANGING THEIR LIVES FOR THE BETTER! Exact details will be posted on my site www.danpena.com by Dec 15th.

NEW FINANCIAL WIZARD

I hope you have seen my new web site additions referring to me as a Financial Wizardhttp://www.danpena.com/the-financial-wizard/ ! Those that have seen it, may have wondered why now after more than 20 years of Coaching/Mentoring QLA and accomplishing some very spectacular financial transactions and personal break throughs for myself and my mentees – I would now take more definitive numerical credit for a long and prosperous track record of achievement?

Well, it is a long story I will make very short: a couple months ago I was compared to a fine marketing coach who you all have heard of – who is commonly referred to in terms of value he has created over a long illustrious career! Compared to his contemporaries, he is heads and shoulders above his peers in creating value and I have known him over 20 years! In fact, I attended his seminar in 1993 when I decided to become a high performance success coach/mentor!

So, at the suggestion of my staff, I decided to have my in house economist, do the calculations vies a vies Dan Pena’s career as an entrepreneur and super success coach/mentor! And low and behold, though I always knew it was BIG number, I didn’t know it was more than $34,000,000,000 (billion US dollars). And this does not include the value of transactions! This is only the value of equity and market value added! If I counted the value of transactions the number would be at least doubled!

Hell, I had been known for many years as merely the $450 MILLION MAN, for the wealth I created in my own company, Great Western Resources, Inc., as the founder of the company I took public, pre internet in 1984! Of course in pre internet dollars this was considered formidable and about $1 billion in today’s dollars! Hence, the Barrio to the Castle is not new information!

THE 34 BILLION DOLLAR MAN!

BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THE NEW MONIKAR! And my new landing page reflects this new insight rather cleverly! LOL! http://www.danpena.com/the-financial-wizard/ BUT NOW I HAVE A NEW GOAL! I WANT TO BE THE $50 BILLION DOLLAR MAN! LOL! And bring as many of my QLA devotees across the goal line as I can, as fast as I humanly possible! Enough bragging  and I am sure, though this is absolute numerical fact, my kids will be embarrassed! LOL! After all they still call me Dad or, Daddy!

Of course this begs the questions to even a less intelligent person – WHY WOULD IT BE SO HARD FOR ME AS A SUCCESS COACH/MENTOR TO GET PEOPLE ACROSS THE GOAL LINE? AND WHY WOULD YOU EVER USE ANYONE BUT DAN PENA AND QLA? LOL!  Of course we all know the reason (s): most people are not really serious about fulfilling their dreams if sacrifice is required; comfort zones are rarely expanded; our emotional bank accounts are normally extremely limited based on our upbringing; and last but not least – virtually ALL the other success coaches tell you it is easy to achieve your goals! Of course, if you have spent any time at all in the pursuit of being a high performance person and achieving super success – you know categorically this is a load of unadulterated crap! And if you are not bright enough to realize this fact – you deserve to have your money taken from you with false hopes and promises!

JANUARY 4 – 10, 2014 CASTLE SEMINAR SOLD OUT!  
NEXT CASTLE SEMINAR MARCH 2 – 8, 2014!

I am pleased to announce the January QLA Castle Seminar is sold out as of 1 Dec! We have an extremely diverse group with a mix of returnees and people getting into the QLA Vortex  for the very first time! LOL! This Jan the Castle Seminar will have guys/ gals from: 7 USA all 1st timers; Turkey 1st time; Canada 2nd time; Austria 4th time; Asia 9th time; and Germany 5th time. And we already have a waiting list for the next Castle Seminar Mar 2 – 8. Again, ask yourself why so many continue to return to the QLA Castle Seminar? Do you think they believe they are improving, or merely treading water? Or maybe they are stupid and enjoy the emotional thrashing I give them for an entire week? Or, just perhaps the information they receive is so over whelming powerful and unique, they continue to come back for more of the same that they can’t get any place else? All attendees say the presentation I give at Guthrie  Castle is considerably more powerful than my book YOUR FIRST HUNDRED MILLION or, other QLA material, because it is laced with countless examples to make it real for them! And or, maybe they continue return because QLA continues to give them unbelievable successful results and they know the cost is minimal compared to the geometric results! After all QLA stands for Quantum Leap Advantage! What do you think? And if you still have to think about it – please unsubscribe!

And of course you have reasons why after all this time reading my newsletters and viewingwww.danpena.com countless times, you still refuse to see the writing on your own personal achievement wall – lack of real success in fulfilling your dreams! Ya and some of you are still using cost of the Castle Experience, as a reason to keep you from getting started! Of course this is utter BS and you know it! If your life depended on it –you would of found a way! And the truth is your future does depend on it! So why not take a chance on your yourself? IF YOU DON’T WHO ELSE WILL?

 

DIVERSE GROUP OF CASTLE ATTENDEES

The Jan attendees are from very different backgrounds: alternative energy;  movie production; physician turned internet guru; law student; education; healthcare; big internet guru; property; deal doer; looking for next business; finance; and commercial maintenance.

I have moved up the next Castle Seminar to March because I am climbing mountains in Africa early this summer with my wife Sally and a good friend, long term mentee and business partner! As I have mentioned in a Tweet, I have just begun a strenuous training regimen to go beyond my already considerable capabilities! WTF! Or as I was taught in Infantry OCS – NO PAIN NO GAIN! And as my NAVY SEAL friends would say – THE ONLY EASY DAY WAS YESTERDAY!

More about: QLA YEAR END WEBINAR AND SUCCESS STORIES FROM THE YEAR LONG MENTOR PROGRAM SOON!

Now do yourself and your family a geometric favor! JUST DO IT!

To Your Quantum Leap,

Dan

P.S. AN EMAIL ON WHY HE CAME TO DAN PENA’S QLA CASTLE SEMINAR, FROM A CURRENT MENTEE:

I went through all the personal development gurus from Tony Robbins, Zig Ziegler to Jay Abraham – including plethora of Internet Personal Development “Gurus” and it didn’t do any good. 

I saw your interview on Mixergy. That’s how I discovered you. 

What made me come to you?

  1. You made it in the real world. You took a company public, none of the other guys have.
  2. You went from nothing to the success you have. You own a Castle so you walk your talk. 
  3. You are giving back – i.e. to orphanages in Philippines and living there as well. My best guess was that the reason you are there is because you can have the most impact there. For example, Philippines was once a Spanish Colony, and you are probably regarded as a well-respected role model there for the locals (because of the Spanish influence and the association with your name). 
  4. Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld was going to be there (at your April Castle Seminar) and he was your mentee.

#3 and #4 were the pivotal points in my decision to come to the seminar in April. Business mentoring is good, but I want guidance with everything else too. 

You also live abroad and do business around the world, so you understand the global nature of things. I want to have an impact globally, that’s why I came to you. 

THE ABOVE YOUNG CANADIAN (27) IS ATTENDING THE CASTLE SEMINAR IN JAN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR! THOUGH HE STRUGGLES WITH SOME QLA ISSUES BASED ON CULTURE AND UP BRINGING, HE CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS WEEK BY WEEK, AS INDICATED BY HIS WEEKLY REPORTS TO ME AND OUR MONTHLY VIDEO CON CALLS WITH HIS SEMINAR CLASSMATES! HE HAS MADE MORE PROGRESS THAN MOST OF HIS QLA CONTEMPORARIES, BECAUSE HE IS WILLING TO SACRFICE AND PAY THE PRICE TO ACTION! EXAMPLE OF MAJOR CHANGES: HE MOVED FROM THE SMALL CANADIAN TOWN TO A MAJOR FINANCIAL CENTER; JOINED TOASTMASTERS TO IMPROVE ON HIS COMMUNICATION SKILLS; BEGAN ACTING IN A THEATER GROUP TO INCREASE HIS PRESENTATION SKILLS; SLEEPS IN HIS OFFICE FOR DAYS AT A TIME TO MAINTAIN INERTIA; AND MUCH MORE!  SO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ENHANCE YOUR QLA PLAN FOR SUCCESS IN THE LAST YEAR? CAN ANYTHING YOU HAVE DONE COMPARE WITH THESE POSITIVE ACTIONS?
