Fellow Coaches/Entrepreneurs-

In case you missed the tele-class I hosted recently, you can catch it here on the blog (for a limited time):

The full title of the class is:

“Money Pit to Six Figure Legit: The 5 Reasons Why 99% of Aspiring Entrepreneurs Will Fail, And The Simple 7 Step System You Can Begin Using Immediately To Avoid EVER Becoming a Statistic!”

As you can see below there are 2 audio buttons:

The first is a 15 minute audio SAMPLE of the call.

Listen to this first if you are short on time to determine if you WANT to spend the time to listen and/or download the full version of the call before it’s taken down off the web.

The Second is the FULL version.

If you’ve got more time I’d suggest you skip the sample and go right to listening to the full version (also available for download - see instructions below).

Please feel free to link to this blog or share the downloaded version with anyone you think would enjoy this information.  Many entrepreneurs out there are wasting money and time doing the WRONG things and this call clears up a ton of misconceptions and clarifies many things that will help anyone in business be more deliberate in reaching more people and selling more without selling.

FYI: Come October 1st 2009, the full version will be taken off this blog and will then be sold as a product online, yet the audio sample will remain available to my active subscriber base.

In exchange for sharing this call with you, I’d very much appreciate you taking a minute or two and providing me some feedback using the short survey form (in the post below).

Thanks and enjoy!

On July 26th of 2008 myself, Gordon Ogden (a seasoned expert climber) and Dylan Addison (a newbie) headed north from Phoenix about 3 hours to climb in “Clear Creek Canyon” which is just south of Winslow Arizona (East of Flagstaff) to check out a new climbing area.  

Gordon had a good friend who operates a river rafting company and we were able to borrow 2 inflatable rafts which served us well on the trip.

I’ve done Deep Water Soloing in Thailand where the rock is limestone and you land in the ocean and have to deal with all the muck and salt buildup on the rock, where as climbing in Clear Creek we got to climb on sand stone and land in fresh water.  

We lucked out as the weather was PERFECT and made for one of the most amazing days of climbing I’ve ever had.  

Climbing, cliff jumping, warm weather good friends, what else could a person ask for?

I’ve been climbing for about 15 years, but I NEVER had any interest in “Big Wall” climbing.  I must admit there was a small part of me that wondered if I’d ever face the MASSIVE fear of doing big wall.  

It was unattractive for several reasons:

1. It required TRAD climbing which never appealed to me.  I’d rather “sport” climb all day on 45 degree overhanging cliffs that are 35-50 feet tall.  
2. For the most part it required crack climbing skills which I could never figure out.  All I felt when I would try it was complete and utter pain.  Pain in jamming my fingers and twisting them to “lock” inside the crack and my feet were miserable enough in the small tight shoes, but then cramming my already squished feet into a crack was a double whammy.
3. Generally “Big Walls” take a full day of climbing and heights of 1,000 feet or more.  I like skydiving and don’t mind heights, but there has always been something about the exposure that freaked me out.

Never the less, when I heard that my hardcore climbing friend Gordon and his good friend Kalvan were going up to climb Moonlight Buttress (one of the most popular big walls in the US) and that they needed a rope gun (a glorified 3rd wheel) I jumped on it realizing I’d likely NEVER get a chance like this.

In the movie it’s hard to really get a feel for the experience.  Kalvan aid climbed most of the route and Gordon and I followed him up using Jumars, but aid climbing or not, the fact that I’d not been climbing in about 8 months, had NEVER used Jumars, had never done a big wall was a pretty bizarre adventure to take on.  

What you can’t see in the movie accept for a bit of dialogue between myself and Kalvin is that he took about a 40+ foot whipper (fall) and a few of his gear pieces came out of the crack and I was belaying him from down below a huge 10 foot roof and couldn’t see him until he came pitching off the wall and when I caught him he’d fallen a very long way and ended up above my head about 25 feet hanging upside down panting a bit.  Keep in mind that we were about 600 feet up at that point.  Pretty wild.

Also the most difficult portion of the route is just before the roof I mentioned above.  We all had packs that were about 60-80 lbs filled with water and supplies and when I was working my way up using the Jumars I found myself being pulled backwards from my heavy pack and it took me literally 90 minutes to climb 40 feet.  I literally thought I would pass out from sheer exhaustion.  I’ve never ever in my life been that tired/frustrated/exhausted.  I wasn’t going to quit or all of us would have had to bail on the climb.  That’s why at that part in the video I inserted some cow sounds as I was grunting up that part and it was almost an event that ruined the whole day.

Luckily I made it through it and eventually got the hang of jumaring.  It was a long day (about 14 hours of climbing) but it was worth it. We then had to climb down the mountain in the dark and make the 2 hour trek walking down the road as we missed the last shuttle out of the canyon.  

This “secret” dance only gets busted out on rare occasions (usually when I eat some really great ice cream) and is why my wife lovingly calls it “The Ice Cream Dance”.

This shot was filmed by Kris’s sister the day before we got married back in September of 2005 when we lived on Whale Watch Way in La Jolla CA.  This spot we are dancing was right outside the sliding door to my office.

The next day we had our wedding reception on the same patio that wrapped around the entire house and up around the swimming pool on the other side.

I have so many amazing memories of this place.

(Thanks Jim!)
