Well, not so long ago, my new friend Matt Morris found himself living his worst nightmare – living out of his car, showering in the rain in a church parking lots and washing himself in gas station bathrooms. Now, just a few years later Matt used personal development to turn his life around and now runs Success University the largest personal development website in the world, owns a multi million dollar business and his company feeds almost 100000 children every month.
Matt has lived through the ultimate rags to riches story and if you want to know how he did it, what he attributes all his success to and how you can make your own success faster, make sure that you watch this fascinating interview to the end.

P.S. I’m a member of Success University and I use it all the time. Its has everything from Business training to personal development training to Internet marketing training. I’m also on the teaching faculty, so Success University members get my “Mind Mastery 101″ CD free (normally $67). Check out Success University here.

I just found out that I have come in as one of two runners up in the XL 2008 Extraordinary Lives award!

The winner was Dr John DeMartini, so I am in good company…

XL Results Foundation is a organization that consists of Social Entrepreneurs committed to giving back. Each year, 100 members (out of 4000 or so) are nominated for the award. Nominees are extraordinary people who are making a difference in the world.

So, you can imagine what an honor it is not only to be nominated, but to also come in second place!

Read the XL press release.

Thanks to everyone who voted for me and helped me achieve this honor. Needless to say, I am blown away!

I don’t want to set this up all on my own, so I’m looking for some people willing to donate a little of their time to help me make this project come alive and touch as many people’s lives as we can.

Here’s who we need so far:

1. I’m looking for a techie with Drupal experience who would like to help me set up the site (design, layout, functionality etc…)?
2. I’m looking for several people to transcribe my manifesting videos I’ll be making for the site. These videos will teach you how to manifest, so this will be a learning experience for anyone who takes this job on.
3. I also need someone with PR expereince willing to help promote the site to the media, so we can ge tas many people learning as possible.

If any of these resonate with you, please email my assistant, Leraunt, at info[at]designer-life[dot]com and he’ll pass your email on to me.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

A dear friend of mine, Matthew Brown, called me last week and asked me if I would like to be involved in raising $25,000 to build a school in Vietnam. I get a lot of requests from people wanting me to donate to their charity, but something about this one caught my attention.

The charity is run my John Wood, former marketing director at Microsoft. John went trekking in Nepal, and discovered a school with 150 students with a library that had no books. It touched his heart so much that he dedicated his life to bringing literacy to underprivileged countries and started a charity called Room To Read.

Watch John’s moving story below:

My dear friend Matthew Brown has a mission to raise $25000 to build a school through Room To Read. I just donated $1700 and we need more donations to build the school.

If you appreciate the value of your own education and you want to give back, why not join us. Each donor will have his name in the door of the school and Matthew is planning a trip to Vietnam for the top 10 donors so we can see our school when it is complete.

To donate and find out more, visit Matthew’s fundraising page at http://www.firstgiving.com/mabrown.
