Everyday is Saturday

I’m back in Cincinnati from an awesome 6 day trip to Hawaii. It’s Wednesday and I think my body is finally back on Eastern Standard Time:) Hawaii is 6 hrs behind Cincinnati, so when I returned home Monday it was a bit of an adjustment. The flight home was pretty cool as we saw the sunset over the Pacific Ocean and then saw it rise again over Arkansas - nice.

Let me tell you about the experience I had while speaking to 1200 champions in Hawaii.

I am still receiving emails by the dozens from people who were at the event. I have never felt so overwhelmed by such an outpouring of love as I feel from the champions at Liberty League. From the moment I arrived in Honolulu to the time I left, I was amazed at how appreciative they were of myself and my story of making Every Day Saturday. Trust me when I tell you, I was just as blessed as they were - truly amazing people.

I wanted to share a few of the emails I have received thus far to give the blog readers and idea of how powerful the event was - enjoy.

=====================

Oh My God, Sam, I’ve just listened to the download of your CD.  I listened to you in Hawaii and as I’ve said before (on the Liberty League blog) you really touched my heart.  But I’ve just listened to your CD and read the transcript and I’m blown away. 
 
I have read so many books, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Wallace Wattles, Robert Kyosaky etc etc etc, and I’ve learned so much from them - but it was like learning at a distance.  I don’t know if it’s because I had a chance to meet you as a person and not just see you up on stage as a speaker, but there is something about the message that you are giving that has really hit home with me.
 
It’s now 3.50am in the UK and I am wide awake through jet lag, listening to your downloaded CD and it has made me cry.  I cried when I heard you live, but hearing it again, away from the hype of the seminar, is unreal.  People need to hear your story and I  really want to help. I have no idea how.  I’m just a tiny little fish in an even smaller pond, but somehow I want to help get your story told.    People talk about a ‘defining moment’ for them, well I think listening to your CD was my defining moment. 
 
Anyway,  I’m pretty sure you must get loads of e-mails like this, and I feel a bit silly even sending it, but I’ll put it down to the jet lag and press send anyway.
 
Kind regards
 
Bev and Mark Thorogood

Hi Sam,
I cannot describe in words, English or Sign Language what an impact you made on my life on Saturday 7/12/08 at the Liberty League Conference in Hawaii.  At the age of 53 I thought many times what is my purpose in life?  Now the door is wide open!

1. People asked me after Saturday’s conference right up to the airport on Sunday afternoon, “What did you take away from the conference?  I said only one word can describe what I took away, “Sam!”  They all agreed.

2. Sam you are my HERO!

3. Would you please be MY MENTOR?

You and I connected from the get go.  Your sense of humor is gripping.  Your life story, so much I can relate to.  You are so natural.  The same quotes I use, Freedom is not free, You miss 100% of the shots you do not take (on my business cards).  The poems you illustrated, all resonated with me. 

After you gave me the honor of sharing a very small part of my story (# 8), I am still surprised at the number of people who were coming up to me and thanking me for sharing and indicating that it was inspiring.  I got so much suggestions and comments about how I can help other people around the world with my story.  They said I came off from the heart, genuine, the way I told my story.  I am such a good speaker, develop it.  These were EMC members at LLI as well as people from all over the globe.  This is all news and a big surprise to me.  Others asked were did you get the guts to go up there and tell your story?  All I know is God answered my prayers, and Sammy you are part of that answer. Glory to God!

Anything I can do to help you or others, I am more than willing.  Thank you once again my friend.  God bless you and your family and the great contribution you are making to humanity.  I look forward to hearing from you very soon! 
Blessings!

Alex Stephen

I heard you on Saturday in Hawaii with the Liberty League Conference.  You ROCK!  Thanks for sharing your story.  It’s very hard being at work today!

Sam- Thank you Champion for both your ebook and the wonderful speech Saturday in Hawaii.  I was very touched by your presentation and also very entertained.  I would have been happy to listen to you for another few hours.  Thank you for sharing your insights and special perspective. 

 I had many similar experiences in corporate america and left for the same reason you did.  I was killing myself for a family I never saw for a company that didn’t care and who would replace me in a heart beat.  I look forward to getting your CD and I have already shared your website with several others.
 
Best Wishes,
Kathryn Scott

 it was an honour to listen to you talk in Hawaii and share your story. You have given me so much to work on to improve my business but most of all to improve my self. Thank you for taking the time out to talk one and one with me (and pose for a photo).

You are a beautiful soul.

WOW! How can you not be moved by those comments? That is why I do what I do for a living…so I can impact people’s lives and let them know that every day can indeed be Saturday. I could put another 20 emails on my blog from the event but I think you get the picture:)

Thank you Liberty League - I love you guys!
