ROOT EVENT. Find out the root of your problem. There is a root to every problem. What is the root to yours?                                       

It is not NORMAL:                                    

• To repeatedly fail in relationships.
• To work hard yet never have money.
• To be sick all the time.
• To feel empty and depressed.
• To have an addiction.
• Not to have peace in your own home.
• To never accomplish anything.

It is not about what you see.......

When we want to get rid of a tree permanently,we know we must kill the root. We often become frustrated with our problems because we keep dealing with them at the "surface level" (what we can see),but not with the root that causes and feeds them.

It is about WHAT YOU DON'T SEE......

The "Root"Event is a series of seven meetings designed to help you achieve a radical and permanent positive change in your life by showing you:

• How to discover the root of your problems.
• How to eradicate the roots that are keeping your life stunted.
• How to put down new,good roots for a permanent change.

"A superstar Real Estate Agent plots a comeback". It's funny because I was actually going to write a blog kind of similiar to this-(This Blog coming soon). I was on Yahoo earlier today when I ran across this article online title "A superstar Real Estate Agent plots a comeback". I was inspired by this story of the Rise and Fall of this Real Estate Agent who is planning on making another comeback-AGAIN.

This Real Estate Agent has sold houses to many celebrities which allowed this real estate agent to accumulate wealth to afford this real estate agent to live a lavish lifestyle. His fall was caused by him living life beyond his means. 

But I like the fact that even this real estate agent is not letting their past failure keep them from planning another comeback. Determination to win,Driven,Inspiration,Hunger and Honesty are some of things that I got from reading this story. But did this superstar real estate agent learn from his mistakes? Hopefully so.  Here is the link to that story A superstar real estate agent plots his comeback - Worldnews.com. Hopefully you will be inspired by reading this story and plan a comeback yourself.
