Dave: What inspired you to go to the EDUCO™ 2 Week Program?

Brandi: My husband and I started studying principles of effortless living in the Spring of 2004. Since that time, we have taken many steps towards living effortlessly. We attended several seminars, listened to dozens of teleconferences, and read many books on the topics of creating the perfect life, manifesting, and “living in the now.” These steps taught us how to create goals for ourselves, goals that at the time seemed very big. As we started working towards those goals, obstacles kept popping up that we didn’t know how to deal with. We could see the goals in our minds, but they always felt like they were so far away. You know what I mean, they became one of those, “someday I will….” kind of things.

We started to get very frustrated. We knew intellectually and in our hearts that we were capable of creating our perfect life, but we couldn’t quite figure out how to get there. After a year of trying to change, we were still stressed out by our jobs, living paycheck to paycheck, and allowing our egos to guide us instead of our spirits.

We found out about the EDUCO™ seminars while listening to a teleconference given by Michelle & John Humphrey of the Effortless Living Institute in late February 2005. They mentioned that the next seminar would be held in the Bahamas in March. As I listened to the call, this incredible feeling that I HAD to go to THIS seminar came over me. I knew that it was going to change our lives forever. I didn’t know how I was going to get there (the money, the time off from work, etc), but I knew that I HAD to make it work. I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT WORK!

Brandi: Obstacles? Wow, did I run into obstacles! The biggest one was finding a way to get the money to pay for the seminar. As I mentioned earlier, my husband and I were living paycheck to paycheck. We had absolutely $0 savings and even less in available credit, we had recently been turned down for several loans. But I didn’t let that stop me from trying to get to the next seminar, which was less than 4 weeks away. I knew I had to get there. I knew I had to find the money. So I went to work researching all types of funding. I didn’t know how I would get it, or where it would come from, but I knew I was going to get it.

The second major obstacle was getting the time I needed off from work. I am a public school teacher. Teachers cannot take 2 weeks off of school during the school year. It just doesn’t happen! We get 2 personal days for each school year, and I had just used mine in February. I was worried that my principal would not even consider giving me the time off, and worse yet, that she would be angry that I even asked for it. I decided to wait until I had secured the money before making any waves at work. I still wasn’t sure how that was going to turn out, so I figured waiting was “the smart thing to do.”

About 2 weeks before the seminar was scheduled to begin, I thought I had “found” the money. I went to work the next day to ask for the time off and amazingly, my principal was very supportive. As I explained a little bit about the seminar to her, she said, “Brandi, you have to go… you just have to go.” I was completely blown away! I then had to meet with the district superintendent to request the time off, without pay. She agreed that it was an amazing opportunity for me and granted me permission to take the time off. I was so excited! I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my husband.

When I got home that night, I found out the funding that I thought I had found wasn’t going to materialize. Now that I had jumped through so many hoops at work to get the time off, it felt like I wasn’t going to be able to go anyway. I got very upset. But I didn’t give up. My husband wouldn’t let me give up either. He encouraged me to keep trying.

I got on the phone and started calling every lender I could for several days. I explained to each of them that I needed to go on this seminar; I told them that it was absolutely going to change my life. They all commented on the conviction in my voice and started working together to get me the funding. But it wasn’t easy. I was turned down again and again. In the end, not only was I able to get the money to go, but I was able to improve our financial situation at the same time! It really did come down to the wire though. I finally got the funding I needed the day before I was scheduled to leave. Talk about a 4-week emotional roller coaster!

Brandi: This seminar truly helped me to remember who I am and what my purpose in life is. While there, I learned how to reconnect with my own life energy, my spirit. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I was able to clear my mind of all the endless chatter, and I am able to keep my mind clear now that I am back home. It is so wonderful to be able to stay focused on where I am, to live in the present moment, and truly respond to life instead of reacting to it.

The seminar also helped me to understand just how many of my thoughts were coming from programs based in fear, lack and limitation. Now that I can recognize these programs, I can choose not to operate from them anymore. Instead, I have installed programs for success, optimum health, and loving relationships. I know I can create programs for anything else that I want as well. I have set much greater goals for myself, and this time, I know that I am going to achieve them. I have learned a “success system that cannot fail” while on the seminar, and I am already seeing the results!

Brandi: I really did not know what to expect. From the minute I heard about the seminar, I knew I had to go and that it was going to change my life, but I didn’t really know why or how. I had heard the stories of people who had been on the seminar before me. They seemed to have amazing successes happening in every area of their lives. I was hoping that I would learn how to create the same type of success in my own life.

I have to admit though, I was a little taken back when I heard the cost of the seminar. I mean, it is a lot of money to spend on 2 weeks… it was more than half of my yearly teacher salary! Something deep inside of my told me not to worry about that, somehow I knew that it would be well worth it. Believe me… it definitely was! By the end of the second day of the seminar, I felt as if I had already gotten much more than I had paid for. The information was presented in such a clear and concise way, it all made perfect sense. I now know that what I learned in the seminar is going to lead me to unlimited success, and the cost of the seminar feels like just a drop in the bucket.

Brandi: Wow! There are so many magical situations that have resulted since my return; I don’t really know where to start.

One of the really magical situations has to do with my ability to relax. While on the seminar, I realized that during guided relaxations, I could easily get energy to flow from my solar plexus into my arms and legs but I had a very difficult time getting the energy to flow into my head. It was like the energy was being blocked at the base of my throat and sent back down into my body. I asked Tony about this. I asked him if this could have anything to do with the fact that I had my thyroid removed several years ago due to having thyroid cancer. He explained that during relaxation, energy travels up through the body through the chakras and that it made perfect sense that I was having difficulty getting the energy into my head since the thyroid is usually the channel for energy to get into the head. He explained that it would take a “quantum leap” in my energy level for me to get the energy to jump over that area. That quantum leap happened on the 4th day of the seminar, and I have been able to maintain that energy since returning home. Now, each time I do my relaxation, I am able to go deeper and deeper. I am able to connect with my spirit and maintain that energy for hours afterwards. It is such an amazing feeling!

Being more connected to my spirit has influenced many other areas of my life since I have gotten home. My outlook on things has changed completely. I am able to see details that I didn’t notice before. I am no longer walking around stuck in a thought trance, distracted from life. I appreciate life more and certainly don’t let things bother me like I used to. I am able to see situations as they are instead of the way my ego perceived them to be. I now can laugh about many of the things that used to drive me crazy. I am having more fun and worrying much less.

My husband and I had started a part time business about 2 years ago, and although we have had moderate success with it, it hasn’t quite gotten us to where we wanted to be yet. Since returning from the seminar, our business has really started taking off. I realized that our business was not producing the results we wanted before because we were still operating it out of programs of lack and limitation. Our fear of failure was causing us to fail. We were afraid to take risks. Now that I have removed the programs of lack and limitation, I can see that the possibilities are endless. I have decided to stop teaching and focus on our business full time. We are now living in the present and are becoming the creators of our perfect lives!

I am able to help others create better lives for themselves as well. We learned how to create positive programs for others while on the seminar, and I practice giving programs each and every day. It is so rewarding to know that not only did I improve my health, my relationships, my business, and my finances by going by going on this seminar; I am positively affecting the lives of so many other people all the time.

Brandi: Go for it! Don’t let your feelings of fear, lack and limitation hold you back. If you have read this far, something inside of you is telling you that you need to do this for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I promise you that!

There were 46 people on Seminar 46, and each and every one of us made an incredible transformation. It was so remarkable to see! We formed the most amazing friendships along the way. Every person on the seminar said it was the best two weeks of his or her lives. And our lives are getting better and better each and every day. Wouldn’t it be great if you could experience the same thing? What is stopping you?

Of course you will have obstacles to overcome. We all have obstacles. You need to understand that the more you live your life in limitation, the more you will see the obstacles that jump up when you are trying to move forward. They are there to test you. Are you willing to move past them and create your dream life?

I look back at the obstacles I faced in the 4 weeks leading up to the seminar. They seemed so big at the time. Now I look back and laugh at them. I am glad they were there. They showed me that I am capable of getting through anything. They were just the stepping-stones I needed to collect to create the foundation for my perfect life!
