i-saga Monthly Membership – Pre-launch

We’re still in Pre-Launch … but oh, so close!

Maybe I should have kept this quiet a bit longer, but hey – anticipation can be a good thing (so says a famous Ketchup commercial).

So, here’s the skinny – hang in there a bit longer, and we’ll soon be able to share how to get the audios and transcripts from the archives. We’ll tell you how to make sure you don’t miss any of the weekly interviews. We’ll let you know how to know who’s coming and how the fantastic content will help you achieve your goals and achieve the levels of success you’re after.

All this will be super cool – and coming soon…

To make sure I do get this up immediately, I may delay or reschedule some of the upcoming interview content so I can focus on getting this working and ready for you. Continue to look at i-saga.net, and I’ll be sure to email you so you know what’s up.

Until then, feel free to browse the great interviews available to you each week in the guest interview section of our blog where you can listen or download as an mp3.

Catch the most recent interviews while they are still posted for f.r.e.e at i-saga-guest-interviews.com! I have not yet pulled them down, so grab all you can before I tuck them into the archive!

Have You Created Your Mind Movie Yet?

Did you catch some of my stories in this newsletter earlier in the year about my client work in France? Well, I can proudly say that I actively manifested that experience. Want to know how?

It started with the goal I wrote last summer to take my wife to Paris. I created a Mind Movie to reflect all my goals, including some photos and affirmations about Paris. You know from my past articles that I stumbled upon some of the exact places that I had selected for my Mind Movie. I know this works.

To see exactly what a Mind Movie is, click here.

There’s a thorough description, examples you can view, and the reasons it works – all spelled out for you.

In fact, the creator Ryan Higgins is so confident that you’ll manifest what you’re looking for using this that he’s made some pretty aggressive guarantees, including that “You'll Make At Least An Extra TEN TIMES Your Investment In The Next 12-Months, OR YOU DON'T PAY!"

I encourage you to check this out, and be sure to watch the short video he’s created for you.

Interview Highlights

Please visit i-saga-guest-interviews.com every Friday for access to the weekly interviews. That's the "guest interview" category section of the i-saga.net blog page.

Remember, the intent is to keep these as a f.r.e.e. resource to you so the replay will be available in the blog posting for one week after the initial broadcast. After that, we’ll put it into the archive where members can gain access to ALL of the interviews and transcripts, so you can come back as often as you like!

We are in the process of making these changes, so as of right now, you can still go to the “Guest Interviews” section of the Success Stories Blog for highlights of the recent interviews, and catch as many of the replays as you want before we move them to the members only archive.

How To Enjoy the Holiday Season

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Most (not all, unfortunately) of my brothers and sisters made it home, including one from England. We had events on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with various parts of our family and friends. We always seem to have a great laugh or two, often about nothing in particular. Plus, there’s a great tradition in our town on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that ends with a parade of fire trucks and Santa waving to the crowds. (This is followed by fireworks, but so far we’ve managed to get the kids home without them knowing about them – probably only a year or two more of that…)

Christmas promises to be similar, with events on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning at home watching the boys open their gifts, and a big dinner event in the afternoon, which is followed by two more Christmas gift events that weekend – all before we decide what to do about celebrating New Year’s Eve. Honestly, given the amount of activity we’ll have during the week leading up to New Year’s, we’re likely to be in bed by 10:00 PM!

And the laughs are certain to be part of that week, as well!

With the stress that many people feel during the holidays, I encourage you to relax and enjoy the season. It’s worth taking the time to simply be present in the moment and remember what it was like as a child.

Kids don’t have to worry about the extra crunch at the office to make the month end/quarter end/ year end numbers. Nor do they worry too much about the home budget for gifts or the price of oil. They simply want to be entertained by the simple elements that the season has to offer.

For example, my kids love driving around after dark, because they can see all the lights. They yell, “Christmas Lights!” every few minutes as we pass another house or tree all done up.

We have a December tradition where each evening before bed, we open a door in our advent calendar that has the 25 days of December leading up to Christmas. Inside is a short passage about Christmas and little gifts for the kids (think Hershey’s Kisses). The kids are super attentive and are often quick to get into their PJs so they won’t risk missing an opportunity to open one of the doors, read the passage, and see what the gift is.

The boys also love playing the holiday CDs we have (Bare Naked Ladies is a favorite of theirs, along with Celtic Women), and Nicholas has already figured out how to play some of them on the piano. It warms my heart to see them dancing in the family room and singing the songs together.

So, take a moment and think about what is truly important this time of year – being with your family and recognizing people for their contributions. It’s a time to share, to say “I’m sorry,” to forgive, and to love. Go ahead and let go of what’s been weighing on your mind lately, and enjoy the holidays this year in a way that brings back the excitement you felt as a kid. Sit calmly with your holiday lights and music on, and enjoy the moment.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from the whole team at The Institute of Success and Goal Achievement

* * *

I ask you to take a few minutes every day this month and think of one person you want to recognize this holiday, and find a way to make a genuine connection with them. If you do that every day this month, you will have touched the lives of 31 people.

You may feel so good about it that you will, perhaps, have your best holiday season ever.

To your highest success,

Pete Winiarski
