WOW! What a powerful weekend. Yes, we just returned from 2 full days in Santa Monica at our Gold Mastermind Meeting. Here is where we have the opportunity to network with other like-minded, successful entrepreneurs and spend some much needed time working ON our company - not IN our company.

Here we are with our business mentor and friend Alexandria Brown. She always makes sure to provide amazing content and address REAL issues that we entrepreneurs face.
She had over 50 businesses in attendance from all over the country. What an opportunity to grow and expand our minds.
The guest speaker at this event was the truly inspirational winner of last year's "Apprentice" show - Kendra Todd. This 28 year old is very impressive and we can see why she easily beat out the competition. She signed her book for us and posed for this picture. I can't wait to read her book!
Of course, if you know Ali at all, she always makes sure to be surrounded by beauty. This is the view from our window-lined conference room. It was spectacular!!



Make sure to read more below to hear about the Joint Venture we set up with our co-Platinum Member, Bobby Kelly of Results Only in Phoenix, AZ. Groups like this bring about amazing ideas and opportunities. We have several other joint ventures that we are collaborating on, and will keep you posted.

Now to Lisa's Big Adventure:
For those of you wondering how my program is going, I have to tell you it is an amazing process. Even with all of the travelling (Los Angeles for 2 days, Phoenix for 2 days and then I am off to Austin, TX tomorrow for 4 days), I have figured out how to stay true to myself and to my goal. I am very happy to report the results at my one-month point:

I am at 19.4% body fat
I lost 1 pound and .67% BF
I gained .14 lbs of muscle and lost 1.09 lbs of FAT!! SNAP!!

I know I keep saying this, and it's true - I feel amazing!! Lucho is incredible to work with and is so supportive (I know he is loving it). He keeps me on track when I think about straying, and I know that the hard part is coming. I am so lucky to be going through this process with him as my secret weapon. My trainer - Iron Mike Boticelli (Mr. San Diego 2007) is pushing me to levels I never knew I could go. I Love It!!

And what is interesting is all that is coming from this experience. As you all know, I am "putting it out there" as much as possible. I WILL win first place in my first competition. I know it!! People are actually interested in hearing about this process, and I feel that this is just the beginning.

So, I leave tomorrow for Austin, TX to train with the one and only Monica Brant!! She is probably the best known IFBB Pro Figure & Fitness Competitor in the country. I'll tell you more about it when I get back - and I'll bring pictures!! Can't wait.

To Your Health, Wealth & Success
