The location for the event was a circus tent at the Long Beach shoreline village. The location itself was already very different than most self-development seminars and the circus tent gave the event a very different atmosphere. I have to say I liked this ideas since it made the whole seminar more fun and entertaining. This approach of mixing entertainment with education is a great idea.

The two days I visited the seminar provided a lot of great information. Brendon talked about overcoming your fears and getting rid of the herd mentality that so many of us have. He also talked in depth about his secrets of getting Fortune 500 companies and large non-profit organizations to sponsor you and work with you on your project. This was some truly amazing information.

One of the great elements of this event was that the circus tent belonged to an actual circus and the members of the circus performed their shows in between the speakers. This was really cool. Hearing these inspirational people and seeing a great show. A truly unique experience.

Brandon invited a lot of great speakers to his seminar. One of them was Bill Harris from the movie “The Secret” who talked about the importance of dreams and monitoring your thoughts. Another speaker was John Gray the famous autor of the bestseller “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus“. His presentation was very educational and at the same time hilarious funny. He explained in great detail why men and women act in different ways and what the sexes need to do to reduce their stress and live a more full filling life together. His information was especially great for women since they learned how to loose weight the easy way without going on a diet.

Also present at the event was Marianne Williamson who was also featured in “The Secret” movie. She gave some great information about the importance of spirit and meditation and opened my eyes in these aspects.

Next to the great shows and information at this seminar I also met some truly great people, such as Ken McArthur the author of the book “Impact: How to Get Noticed, Motivate Millions, and Make a Difference in a Noisy World” and the amazing Jeff Wellman from layoffyourboss.com.

Ken has started a truly inspirational project to raise awareness for the problem of teen suicide and help to save thousands of lives! His Impact Action Team did a great job speaking up for this cause at the Life’s Golden Ticket event.

All in all this was a truly great event. An amazing combination of eductaion, entertainment, networking and raising awareness for a good cause. Bendon is a great inspirational teacher and I am sure I will be back at one of his future events.

We decided to go to the Play To Win mainly to meet people and promote our businesses. We didn’t expect the seminar to be any different than any other seminar we had been to but we were totally wrong. The seminar was on for 3 days from Friday to Sunday. On Friday we had to arrive later since I had to go to work in the morning. When we arrived in the afternoon the seminar was already in full effect. Surprisingly there were only around 40 attendance at the seminar. Compared to the Millionaire Mind with 2000 people this was a very small event.

Soon we found out why there was such a limited amount of people. Play To Win is not an actual seminar. It is more an interactive event where business skills are taught through games. First I thought that this would not work and was not very excited. Once the first game started I saw how effective this method really was. Just like in life you are thrown into new situations with certain rules and need to figure out what to do to win the game. Most games are played in teams which helps to learn about teamwork and leadership skills. The first day was over around 9pm at night and we were more than excited for the next day.

Saturday and Sunday started with reviewing the lessons learned from the second day. Then the new games started. All games were a lot of fun and a great learning experience. In our society where we are used to sit in class rooms and listen to someone talking this active way of learning is totally underrated. During the games and the breaks I met so many cool people and made a lot of interesting connections. The games make it so easy to learn business skills in real life scenarios. The trainers did a great job of making the games as realistic as possible. The program founder Clinton was present all weekend and took the time to answer everybody’s questions.

The biggest lessons for me were that I can do far more than I sometimes think and that I need to ask for teaching more often. Frontier Trainings also offers a great membership program with many advanced games. We are thinking about joining the program since we liked it so much. The whole weekend was totally sales free. Only in the last hour of the course Clinton was presenting his membership program. This happened without any hard selling tactics or pressure. The whole concept for Frontier Trainings is more to promote the membership though the quality of the free seminar. In my own opinion this was by far the best seminar/course I have ever been to. A great unique learning experience and I can only advice anybody who lives close to San Diego where most free seminars are currently held to take this free 3 day course.
