The Power With In

Hey everyone I though I'd do something a little different today. I'm going to share with you my experience after speaking at a local seminar. For everyone that knows me, this won't be a surprise but for those that are new to my blog or have never met me you are going to find out something new about me and I really hope you can learn something to use in your personal life. I'm I huge fan and follower of leadership coaches like Anthony Robbins and Robin Sharma. Recently I was asked to speak at a seminar in front of the Professional Photographers of Canada Eastern Location group. During the 3+ hours they generously allotted for me I took the time to share with this great group of photographers my personal beliefs on why I feel I've been so blessed in personal and business life. The seminar organizer asked that I speak on how I've been able to organize a very successful business well maintaining a wonderful personal life full of freedom and happiness. I took this task into two parts. First, how and why I've been able to gain personal wealth and secondly how to gain freedom in your business. I really think that both go hand in hand. Unfortunately I think that most people don't take time for themselves to gain what leaderships coaches call person wealth. When I started my company I did what I think a lot of use tend not to do. I made sure I covered what I believe to be the basic fundamentals traits to instant success. I'd like to share them with you now. So over the next few days I'm going to post some of what I've learnt over the years and what I truly believe has lead me to not only become a better father and family man but also as a successful business man.

Hamming It Up For The Camera.

Allot of children tend to shy away from the camera but not this one. This little girl loved having her picture taken. It was great, I just sat back and watched her go! She was even posing for me once she saw I was taking her picture. Then got upset when I turned the camera on her mom and dad and not her.

True Inspiration...the Lee Thomas Story
