Today is Thanks Giving Day in the United States. It is the day we have chosen to focus on the bounty all around us. It is the day when we give thanks for friends and family and country.

We have challenges. Yes, we do have challenges. Focusing only on them often makes for a frustating unhappy time. I remember a story that Zig Ziglar has told for years. I first heard it at the Sequoia Athletic Club, in Buena Park 15-20 years ago. A Woman sought him out after he spoke one night. She asked for his help because she was miserable, was unhappy at her job, and felt unliked by those around her.

Zig suggested she make a list of everything that was good in her life. She could come up with nothing so Zig started asking her questions. Do you get free parking at work? Yes. Is work air conditioned and heated? Yes. So it continued and they parted.

Months later she had done this work everyday for herself. She saw Zig again. He asked her how she was. She said she was great. Everything had changed for the better. She was happy, liked her job,
and everyone wanted to be her friend. She had changed her perception by focusing on gratitude. Then reality had changed to conform to her expectations. A powerful story.

So, today lets focus on gratitude, maybe even listen to the Gratitude Call TeleSeminar recording you see to the right. This is a resource you can come back to any time you want to this next year. Writing in the box what you appreciate to help others begin the transforming.

Warmest Regards,

TeleSeminars have become an important part of my life. Why would I write that as the first sentence of a New Blog? Because TeleSeminars (TS) are my business, my pleasure, and the source of much of the new information I receive. Many of my friends use the various conference calling technologies to build their businesses, teach their fans, and sell their information, products, and ideas. What a positive and expansive space to be in.

I want to express my gratitude to Alex Mandossian, Jeff Herring, and Tom Antion for teaching me the how, what, why, when, and how. Thank you. Eric Lofholm, Armand Morin, T. Harv Eker, Suzy Prudden, Karen Curry, Lynn Carnes, Blog Squad, Ellen Britt, Kenrick Cleveland, GENI.org, Cathy Perkins, and Derek Gehl have all had TeleSeminar Series which have educated and enlightened me. I hope you will ask me about each of them. Probably I will write about each of them at some time in this blog.

Recently, Dan Safkow and I founded www.TeleSeminarNation.com as the first Social Networking Site for Leaders and Learners. It is a place where TeleSeminarians can list their TS, Webinars, Blog Talk Radio Shows and other events, discuss ideas in the forum, and find speakers for their events. For the public it is a place to find featured events listed by members and to find a feed of current TS. We are providing this as a Free Service to everyone.

This blog will also become home to the TeleSeminar series I host, produce, and present over the months and years ahead. Thanks Giving evening at 6 pm Pacific I will be hosting a Gratitude TeleSeminar. Please join me and participate in the Gratitude on Thanks Giving.

Will you comment on the ideas and people I have mentioned? I hope you are thinking about how TeleSeminars can enrich your life and promote your events, ideas, and business. Continue to imagine how life can improve for you and those you Impact.

Warmest Regards,

Edward Philipp
