What Are The Personal Development Proucts REALLY Like Part III: Sovereignty Live Conference

In my last post I outlined the Beyond Freedom Evolution home study course. If you were familiar with Liberty League International (original company that designed the course) you may also know they had two conferences, a Liberty Conference and a Summit Conference. The Polaris Media Group has taken the best of what Liberty League's products offered and expanded them as well as adding several new products. Beyond Freedom is becoming Beyond Freedom Evolution, the Liberty Conference is becoming the Sovereignty Live Conference and the Summit Conference is becoming the Influence Live Conference.

Essentially what this means to me and the customer is that the CEO and Founder of Polaris Media Group, Shane Krider, the Customer Service Staff and the Executive Marketing Committee have a ten year track record in the Personal Development, Entrepreneurial Skills Training, Direct Sales and Network Marketing arena. In other words, this isn't our first rodeo.

The Sovereignty Live Conference is a three day event held in an exotic locale that focuses on how to apply the principles taught and discussed in the Beyond Freedom home study course.

The Influence Live Conference is a five day event held in an even more exclusive location and it teaches everything from financial strategies to help you get your money working for you to really specific entrepreneurial education and it brilliantly ties in the principles taught in personal development.

All of the guest speakers are living and doing the same exact types of things we teach in our curriculum so the integration of information is seamless and often people will come home from a live event and begin experiencing massive growth in their personal and business life because they are able to activelyab apply the things they learned at the conference to their own lives and business. Plus when we get home from an event we are still plugged into this community and learning process so the conference never really nds.

I will take just a moment to digress here. I say digress because I want to mention that I have personally paid several thousand dollars to attend conferences that other programs offered. One such conference was hosted by Anthony Robbins and he was a great motivational speaker but...

Most of what I learned in those two days had no "integration" directly into my daily home and business life. Yes there were lots of principles covered and several how to sessions but the difference between what he offered and what I've experienced at a live Polaris Media Group event were night and day. My experience with other live events almost kept me from attending my first Polaris live event because I was comparing what I knew from my past to what I thought I would see in my future and that was almost a very expensive mistake.

Fortunately I didn't make that mistake or I wouldn't be writing this blog and I wouldn't have made thousands of dollars with the business opportunity because of my decision to be a Polaris Media Group Director.

Now back to the discussion about the products. I'll sum it up in two words... First Class




The Sovereignty Live Conference isn't your basic MLM conference in an aging Holiday Inn somewhere. It's not a deal where you show up at the Marriott in Orlando with a couple hundred people from your MLM company with stuffy company training or business building information.




We're not a bunch of stuffy business people, in fact you'll find a wide diversity of people from housewives and CEOs, to car salesmen, insurance brokers, former real estate agents (like me), former police officers and investment bankers attending our events and taking advantage of the products and business opportunity to get out of the rat race for good.




You could say that once you've made the decision to be a part of the Polaris Media Group, make financial and personal life changes that set your family free from the daily grind you let your hair down a bit and have some fun.




This isn't the kind of event where the CEO and Top Producers of the Company are safely staged behind velvet ropes and inaccessible. Not at all, in fact you'll shake hands with and enjoy conversation with most of the Executive Marketing Committee, Founder of the Company and top income earners and have time after the sessions to pick their brains pool side or just relax and enjoy a cigar while masterminding with millionaires.

The Polaris Media Group live events are first class events held in exotic locations and features world-class speakers. Past speakers have included Michael Losier the bestselling author of "the Law of Attraction," Randy Gage, Patrick Combs, Andy Andrews best selling author of "the Travelers Gift" a modern day Will Rogers who has done four command performances for four U.S. Presidents and consultant for companies like Microsoft, Bob Proctor, Doug Weed personal advisor to several Presidents of the U.S., and many more.

A week ago October 12th thru the 14th Polaris Media Group held it first ever Sovereignty Live Conference at the beautiful El Conquistador resort in sunny Puerto Rico.



Stormy Island

I'd love to tell you I'm writing this from my balcony overlooking the Atlantic at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico...but I'm not. I'm back home in my home office putting together notes from one of the most dynamic conferences the world of Personal Development has ever seen.


View from the balcony

The first full day was jam packed including a quick bite for breakfast and then off to Palamino Island on a tender. This place is really cool and has tons of activities like jet-skiing, snorkeling, and just relaxing on the beach.



Looking the other way on the balcony

The official start of the conference is a kick off reception with the red carpet rolled out in a dramatic way; lots of food, local entertainment and recognition for some of the company's leaders. The first full day includes a general session which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 ish with a break for lunch.



Neal Petersen

If you've never had an opportunity to see Neal Petersen live you're missing out on an extremely dynamic speaker. This guy grew up in apartheid South Africa where opportunities for colored folks were few. He built his own sail boat and basically sailed around the world. He started out knowing very little about navigation but was determined to succeed so he took with him a sextant and a how to book on how to use a sextant. He learned by doing and personifies the kind of entrepreneurial spirit and skill we teach with Polaris Media Groups Beyond Freedom Evolution and business model.

This conferences line up also included Yossi Ghinsberg whose story of survival in the Amazon rain forest is worth hearing many times if for no other reason than to remind myself how easy my life really is.



Yassi Ghinsberg

Also Steve Donahue shared his accounts of crossing the Sahara desert at the age of 20 and the realization that maps are great if the landscape isn't always changing like the shifting sands of the desert. His recommendation is you get yourself a good compass in life and follow it no matter what map you're looking at.


Steve Donahue

This Sovereignty Live Conference was the best organized most professional and powerful live event anyone could ever attend. Words of course can't do it justice and pale in comparison to being there. The cost of the Sovereignty Live event is $7995 for two people not including travel, most meals and lodging.

When I compare what I get out of a Polaris live event to my experience with a Robert Kiyosaki (who by the way is brilliant) live event for two days at the "Pepsi Center" in Denver Colorado where I paid a very similar amount of money (excluding the travel and resort destination etc.), well...let's just say Polaris Media Group is in a class all by its self and I'll be attending many more of their live events. Robert is good in person and his books "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Cash Flow Quadrant" are MUST reads if you want to really understand money, finance and real estate investing, but isn't good enough for me to keep going back to see him in person.

I'll review the other products in future blog posts, this one got kind of long because the live event occurred about the same time I wrote it so I threw both of them in together. By the way...if you're curious about where the Influence Live Conference is being held in March of 2010 it will be in Maccau, China right across the bay from hong Kong! We'll talk more about this conference in my next post.
