I'm 57 and feel like my story is just beginning. I have some ideas and intend to make them work. I don't know exactly where my story is going to take me. But I guess that's the wonder of life.
I'm ready
Hi Sam,
I have a story that, over the past 7 years, had brought me down, dragged me through the mud, and ultimately just really got me thinking about how to make a "message" of my "mess". I have read book after book after book on Metaphysics, spirituality, laws of the universe - all of which have definitely uplifted me and let me to see things from a broader perspective. In addition, all of the material I continue to receive via e-mail ultimately led me your "everyday is saturday" messages - which I am truly grateful for. I want to share my story, as I KNOW people could benefit from it. I would love some input as to how to get started with this. I even went as far as to come up with ideas in regards to a website.
Would absolutely love and greatly appreciate some insight.
I am truly grateful for all I have learned from you, in addition to all the other wonderful inspirational leaders.
Thank you,
Stephanie
Hey Sam,
LOL...WOW!!!
Your story could have been mine. I sure can relate to your android analogy! (Although, I left the daily grind a LONG time ago. Not sure I ever was in the rat race though...) THANK YOU for validating my life choices!! I am NOT NUTS!! hahaha
I absolutely refuse to be what I call a LEMMING!! Yes, the lemmings...and I am committed to ensuring my children do not become lemmings either
I have not quite figured out how to successfully to do this without living life as a hermit however. I came across your message via synchronicity. I happened to miraculously receive an email from YOU! Direct to my inbox!! Couldn't have arrived at a better time! Too many "ants" surrounding me, wanting me - no - PUSHING me to join the ant hill.
I don't want to be an ant either, Sam. So, many thanks! It is a blessing to be affirmed!
Cheers,
Coralee
HI Sam,
I am 55 years old. I hate my job to the point of just not going back. I don't mind retail but I do mind the total negativity of my job. I just got a small promotion. The only reason I got it is because I stopped being negative about everything. Some people would call it kissing ass, even me. The old me is still there wanting to get out and be that bitch. The problem with the company that I work for is that they decide were your career with them is going. They do not ask you where you want to go or if you want to go where they say. I wish they would just lay there plans out on the table and see if I am interested. I know they never will and I will probably end up some place that I don't want to go. That is why I have searching for anything that will give me the motivation to build my own business at last. I have no idea where this is going to lead me but what you have to say has drawn me in and I want to know more. I will be reading and listening to your information because I know that I will continue to be inspired. I want everyday to feel like it is Saturday. I want to love what I do. I want to make a living doing what I am good at, which is my art work.
Thank you for putting yourself out there for everyone to learn from
Joy
Your story is very inspiring,the courage to do what you have done to turn your life around for the better is what we all wish to achieve,and i guess it is easy if we put our minds to it.

Great work Sam, I'm a Scientologist and this really fits in with some the basics truths I have learned. You are 'you' and yes people will try to keep you down because they themselves have been put down and they perpetuate the aberration. We are all into this together on this planet. Lets help each other. My dream since I was 16 is to have spiritual freedom, to improove myself and help others and to reach the state we call OT VIII. I am 51 now, fought with alcohol addiction for 25 years ( clean now for 8 years) and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and my goal (postualte) is strong. I still need help and your videos are very inspirational and at the proper gradient for me. They give me hope that it can be done.
Thank you

Sam:
I have listened to your story and others stories, but no one is stating exactly what their story is? Specifically what did these individuals DO to get out of the grind?
Hope to hear more! And thanks!
Man, do i have a story! cannot wait to tell it! and I'm bursting with what I know is something really really big to happen in my life. i've been working at it for years and years and i KNOW now and am just watching my dreams become reality. I look forward to sharing that with you!!

I was never encouraged during my childhood or marriage to better myself, so for the most part my energy went into raising my son. After I battled breast cancer, my priorities changed. I left my 26 yr. marriage and ended up in a relationship with a gentleman that I dated when we were 16.
He showed me love and support while I was going through breast cancer for the second time around; something I never experienced before. I was always expected to be the strong one for everyone else.
Once I was well again he encouraged me to take a course, which in turn gave me confidence in myself. I then competed for a job that I wanted and got it.
Only problem with the job is management. I have made an effort to write positive articles about other employees in the company, in the hopes that it would change the morale and on the most part I was successful.
It bothers me that management drags people down instead of appreciating the employees by giving them extra help so they can do their job to the best of their ability.
I love what I do but I am burning out fast and have no support from my boss. She doesn't get it! I feel that by only looking at the bottom line and cutting back on what is important is the wrong way to go about things, but my hands are tied.
Hi, I found your story very moving
Great attitude to have. Love the idea. Changed my mindset.
I WOULD LIKE TO POST A COMMENT IN REGARDS TO STEPHANIE'S QUESTION ABOUT A BOOK SHE WANTS TOWRITE.
SHE CAN GO TO I UNIVERSE PUBLISHING ON THE WEB. I WAS JUST ON THERE YESYERDAY. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
I'm changing--both mentally and financially-- from my daytime gig to playing at what I love doing each day. Writing.
Thanks for providing the encouragement.
I have a story to tell! I have a created a wonderful program to help women become fit, healthy and confident through dance. I have been an educator for over 22 years. I no longer want a teaching job. I want to make a living doing what I love: dance fitness. I am working on transitioning. My challenges are coming from within... I need to break through...
Sam,
Wonderful!! I'm in

There does not seem any way out of this situation a I feel like giving up. I appoached several agencies who are usless at the moment, Will every day is Saturday teach me how to get out of this mess. if so I would be grateful
fred & Ann UK
My story is probably similar to many others, but it is mine! I have learned many things from it, but I have so much more to do. I have let the passion go, feeling a sense of resignation as life goes by....reminding myself of how grateful I am for what I have. The comment I heard, about the symphonies not written in the graveyard really strikes me, and I know I have much to contribute as long as I breathe...and as an example to my children, and to all those I care about (including myself) I must reignite the passion and share my experience.
Hi Sam wonderful statment every day is a saturday I myself left my JOB last year and I have learn soo much by all the positive people that coming into my life, and escaping the rat race of the traditional job, going broke but I know I'm in the right track and I will suceed in my buisness and I give the credit to you and all of the wonderful people of the Universe that are on my side. keep it going. God Bless you
Hi Sam!
I am very excited to be participating in this collective mind renewal therapy and open for any help and suggestions.

Fired 3 weeks ago from a crappy job! All they really did was take advantage of me .Now unemployed but i feel better.Thanks for your good words.
I am 70, retired from Corporate after two heart attacks and more. I funneled all my skill, energy and intellect on 'self-work' and physical health since 2004. In 2007 pain/tickle came online and I experienced 'needs' for the first time in my life. I was overwhelmed by the grief and the mourning, the emotional pain and newness kept me from knowing what was happening to me for sometime and the doctors treated me as a mental case. I got my mind and heart around what was happening to me in time and began claiming a being four times greater than I had ever been led to believe I am. I moved far away from all who thought they knew me for whatever reason and in my new souroundings I am happier than I have ever been in my life. I have no money but I am rich. Every day has been Saturday for sometime now. Projects are falling into place and I am on a honeymoon with me. I am husbanding this infinite and precious gift.
On the larger front this rain of blessings and gifts has opened my understanding not only of myself but the universe and the theophany I percieve is far larger than all the religions put together.
The picture is all inclusive in every conceivable way. I will know the who, what, where, when and how of sharing this gift and because of my Coporate experience I am keeping a low profile.
I have no idea how I ended up on your it's Saturday Web Site but I enjoyed the tape.
My mess is the message? And I have been running from it. I just had that reenforced by losing a tooth in front. I was totally dismayed after spending so much on them while I was working. I had to put off the expense and so I went on with my life. I noticed something different one day and began to track it. Before when I would smile at folks they looked back as if I were laughing at them or about them. Now when I smile they all smile right back. The quicker they find the imperfection the quicker they relax and become socialble. My mess will teach far more than I could otherwise devise.I have that sense of connection and spirit guides I am learnig to listen for. Thanks Sam, Luis
I do not understand how telling a story of oneself or events in his/her life can make them know how to make a living at a job they want and love and work for themselves.
maybe I am missing something here, if so anyome please point that out.
thanks, sorry, and confused about all of this
I love your message it is surely what I need at this time in my life and you seem so charismatic.
Was watching a movie today The Univited, guy was delivering groceries by boat to the super wealthy. I thought that looks like one of the good jobs. Until he got back to the store boss yelling at him twice and one client canceled his service.
Point is a job could be great today. Someone could be transferred promoted, quit whatever. Your new boss could hate you and make your life hell! I once had a job with 3 supervisors standing behind me looking for ways to get more work for less. Threats, intimidation, peer pressure. ALL that good stuff. Another job, I got hurt the first day, HR thought that was amazing getting hurt my first day. Logically the olds are better getting hurt the first time you do something instead of the 50th or 100th or 1000 when your getting trained. She also did payroll for the company for over 25 years the pay check she processed for me had all zeros. If that would have been the first check she did, we would had a laugh. Not so funny when you have 25 years experience.
Jobs should be temporary for people with aspirations especially with the internet now available to all. Unless your in a surrender. Dare something worthy.
Take a stand and stand out from the rest.
Hi Sam,
I am a 41 almost a 42 yr old by next week; wife and mother of 4 children. I have been reading your emails this past week and have actually asked for the universe to send me something inspirational and so i'm very thankful to have been sent your emails.
I have just completed my 3 weeks of holidays for this year, and truly have a heavy heart on going back to work in the morining. But as always i go back in order to pay the morgage, pay the monthly bills, its off to the corporate rat race i go....
I have always new and wanted my life (family) to change dramatically, but never knew how to get there. I have watched and listened to my personal development cd's, mp3's, books, e-books, and emails and always knew i was differant from other people in my family and co-workers.
The only thing that gives me hope to strive for better are my loving husband and children. I want to give them a better life, I am so frustrated and tired of all the negative family chatter on how and what we as a family should be doing in our lives. Also the negative blame game, poor me stories when i return to work.
So in closing Sam, looking forward to hearing more inspirational stuff!
I'm "Fired Up" with hope!
I always knew i was a champion
God bless

Hi Sam,
My name is Lucas, and I've a story that I'd like to published once I reach my goal, my own FREEDOM and my own everyday Saturday story. I know that it's been a long overdue path to glory and success, and my Family wants me to forget and quit my BIG DREAM and go on with life to Corporate America and be one of them 97% of the population, (but I'm here to tell you that no one will take that away from me, I came to America with a Dream and I'll not stop until I reach that goal), that have no dreams nor goals to succeed in life, and reunite with the high percent of society that are walking through life dead at the age of 20 and is taking them another 55 to go to the next and eternal life. I don't want to be one of them. I want to make a difference in this world by helping others achieve their dreams and goals.
So lets see what this everyday Saturday journey takes me to.
Thank you
Sincerely
Lucas
I still don't get it. Perhaps I am being thick. I have viewed the videos and read testimonials but what is Everyday is Saturday? One can feel good every day and give thanks for what they have in their lives even if it is not much but that doesn't mean that you have the life you really want. ie. fantastic job, being appreciated for who you are, lots of money, no debt etc.
Hi Sam,
http://waytolivelovelaugh.blogspot.com/ is not my website (there will be one shortly), it's just a test-drive of a blog. I have to learn more about blogging and Internet - and I will. Never mind that I am over 60 - who wants to count?
For years, I have been writing and re-writing a book but I never did anything with it. It wasn't until recently that I realized how important what I have to say, is. It could and will change lives of countless people. I may call it The Mystery. As in "the mystery of human mind". Resolved.
Contrary to all the evidence of insanity going all around the word, there is nothing wrong with either our minds or our bodies - and I have the material to prove it. Not only that - the book is easy to read, easy to follow, and it is quite entertaining - in spite of the fact that English is not my first language. (My "little English monstrosities" will easily be corrected.)
So, Sam, thank you for your story. It came just at the right time. And I want to have it all. Not only Saturdays but Sundays as well.
Sincerely, Hana
Hello Sam,
Well, my story begins right the day of my birth. I was supposed to not to be born: my mother and father were going through very hard times, they really didn't want to have a baby but my mother got pregnant. While pregnancy, she was awfully nervous and anxious about me and her father, which caused my being born with the cord unbilical around my neck.
My infancy was a solitary one: no friends, no parents, due to the feeling I was in the wrong place. My mum taught English in the school I assisted, that didn't earn me the best awarding friendships around fellow pupils. My father suffered from so called Schizophrenia (in fact, he was just a very nice guy), therefore I didn't really understand him nor he took the effort to understand me, thinking I would be better off without him (it's a feeling you get, deep in your guts, when you are a child, as true as the sun shines in the sky). My mum has always been, and still is sometimes, a pretty dominant figure with her own disgusting family story on her back (Second World War, abuse...). My dad's family was even worse, his own father burnt his books and obliged him to study law, which dad detested but engaged in just to please his father (I think he finally even got pleasure out of it).
Sam, this is quite painful to explain right now, but I have been a solo child with a family. I grew up in a wonderful house, next to a small but beautiful wood that gave me enough peace to believe in life and, above all, Nature. There I would spend my ours playing soldiers (who were always being defeted), away from the noise and laughter of my mates, who couldn't possible love me due to my simple nature, naïf and dominant too.
So, at 13, my father commited suicide (third attempt) and we only felt relieved from his burden. Three years later, my personality was absolutely destroyed by the idea that I was him. It took me 5 more years to ruin my mental health (all by myself). I ended up closed down in a mental institution for 6 weeks. Stuffed with medicine and the label "Schizophrenic" that I had so long been running away from. Then I decided to repeat my dad's story just to control and get over it. To make it short, it has taken more than 20 years to claim victory on this point and come to the conclusion that I am inspired by the light of love, otherways I would not have been able to come through.
Nowadays, after several severe depressive fists and more and more tragical relationships that never stopped coming into my existence, I have a son, the Son of God himself, as I like to call him, but live with my mum and sister because I am getting divorced, probably. I have no income but the help of mum and sister. Realize that, while fighting Schizophrenia, I have been studying at university and come out with a Licence on Spanish Language, a master on Spanish for Foreign Students and a postgraduate degree on Foreign Affairs, all in Spain. Also, I have learnt to play the guitar, sing and write my own music. I can speak fluent French, Spanish, English and Catalan. My professional career goes from sailor to recepcionist, barman, translator, teacher in the European Commission or amateur journalist. I have done more than anybody else I know, being ill BUT now that I am perfectly healthy again, taking no more pills (God forbid that!) I am absolutely broke. I love a girl, 20 years younger, which shows how powerful my heart still is, after 12 years of marriage with a woman that deserts me because I am who I am.
You tell me if my story could be useful as an example of winning over adversity. I think it is useful. Specially for the Spanish speaking world. I could talk about it for years to people in Spanish, Catalan, French or English and, Holy Spirit, I desperately need cash to start a different life where music and love fill each second of every day to enjoy the company of my beloved son as well as spread the word to people that there is no adversity, there is only life.
I love you deep within because I know we are only one in this Planet, Mother Earth, and I ask you to help me because I cannot help myself. Please let me tell my story to people. I have thought many times to write it down but I can't get over the image of my father, not long before his death, telling me he was a writer. I won a National short-stories award two months after he passed away and that only inflicted more pain. I don't have time nor guts to sit down and write it, thinking there is no time now to look for publishers nor more of that businness "experts" on cheap literature. Please help.
Thank you in advance.
Love and freedom for all.
Luis Martí
Hi again,
Feel pretty ashamed of myself right now for asking for money... Oh Lord... Well, it was useful to take the sh... out of myself. So, Sam, please take into consideration my offer of delivering my story in Spanish under your "Every day is Saturday" campaign. I would love to travel around with a message like yours and I am postitively sure it will cause a big impact on people, who are more desperate than me, to rebuild their lives but have not, right now, the knowledge of the English language.
Love you, man. Thank you.
Luis Marti
Dear Sam,
I have lots of saturday stories to share, especially when I quit my job 13 years ago to change my life. I was always a daydreamer, and in my past job as fashion designer my talent in the business world was perfectly adopted for making dreams come true. But never good enough. Not fast enough. Not best selling to make highest profit.
I was asking myself this one question at the top point of my career: Where will I be "at the end of my life" - as far as I could see my life "outlined" at that time - when I continue to do what I am doing now?
What I saw I really didn´t like, so I quit.
Actually I was dreaming of living in kind of a paradise, but at that time I was not clear about how paradise looks like. How could we achieve to align our behaviour patterns with the universal laws that our nature was created of? And how can we live our lifes in
love and respect for everyone?
I created new stories, again and again, going deep inside of my heart looking out for a clear vision and sharing them with a group of like minded people around me.
And as I did, the partnership and family life I lived in fell apart.
And I asked myself? Do I follow the "right" way? Quitting jobs, loosing all friends?
I started my path of inner growth, learning all kinds of spiritual skills, started painting, creating my own website, living on my own, connecting with people and groups in the world wide web, and going through emotional ups and downs.
I have fragments, many puzzle pieces that fit into my saturday story. And a creative power that guides me like a "red thread" through my experiences and insights.
I follow my heart again and again. I know we are all connected through the power of love. Changing perspective in everything I experience to the best I can is very helpful now.
So I am here now. Thank you, Sam, for your powerful invitation.
Hi sam.
I really want to make things happen for me, but i dont know yet what it
is that i want to achieve and how to go about it, but i enjoy watching
your positive videos, and they do make me more positive than i ever have been, i think i need abit more financial stability, like most i suppose, i have always just made do with whatever i have and now i think im ready to think more about my dreams, and how i can make a better life for me and my family.
I look forward to hearing other peoples stories.
My story is having worked within an industry that proffess to care about people, when actually could not give to hoots. In the end it was the falsify records to read what they wanted that got to me. so you can imagine when I said I did not want to be party to this and would not put my signature on anything that was other than the truth. The powers that be attitudes towards me changed. treated like the village idiot because I would not conform to their ways of doing things and boy was I made to feel uncomfortable. After 25 years I was so angry and felt deeply hurt, I remember thinking where do you get off treating people like that.
Once I got my head around things to the point and said to myself "So where do you get off?" When are you going to get off the tread mill? When are you going to stop allowing people to do this to you? When are you going to use your voice? Well I happy to say that 6th January 2009 I put my hands up and said ok enough of this. I did get off - I walked out of there never looked back. Things have been gathering momentum. thank you Sam for your contributions to this part of my Journey Linda
Hello, Sam:
I am in too!
Unlike your Australian friends, we HAD to go back to the 9-5 jobs to keep the roof over our heads (particularly our 4-year-old daughter's head).
But we would LOVE to be able to pick up our daughter at 4 together again, and have lunch together on a weekday from time to time again. Also, we would LOVE to have another child. For all that, we'd need our every day to be a Saturday!
Thank you, Sam, for the inspiration!
Kay
I am no stranger to listening to people who have changed their lives and turned everything around.But it wasn't until now that everything I was listening to has started to sink in. I have been through the hardest time in my life with regards to supporting and trying to keep my child safe. As well as facing real uncertinaty finacally with the unfair dismissal form my job. I am finally in a place where I am truely fed up and will do what it takes for my child and myself. We deserve a free and happy life and that is what I will provide.
At the moment every day IS Saturday, but that just means plenty of time on my hands. For many years I have gone to self-improvement classes, done EFT, joined successful MLM companies with products I totally believe in, learnt bodywork, lived organically and ethically .... none of this brought in money, saved my marriage or my only daughter. I found myself at 56 with no job, no partner, no money, no longer a mother and no incentive to carry on. Three weeks after losing my daughter, and in a dreadful state in the early hours of yet another sleepless night, I saw an ad in a health magazine that I should have opened a month before. I felt compelled to go and have a session and knew immediately that this was what I was going to do in the future, if I wanted a future. . A dear friend paid for my trip to her in the States and I worked for her for a few weeks and returned home with US dollars that doubled in my money. This paid for my course.
But I couldn't get started: too heartsick, too angry, too many memories. I decided that I would go to France where I'd been happy and where I had most of my friends. They were horrified; alternative therapies were not embraced here, the country was in bad shape, everyone's complaining, very negative... stay home in my safe little country - even French people in NZ said they would never go back to live there because of the negative attitude.
But I had to leave thinking changing countries and languages would be a distraction if nothing else. I cashed in my meagre life insurance savings and left. They were right! I've survived by house-sitting and a bit of massage, and am fairly settled near most of my friends now in a guardian/housekeeping role for free rent. I've since met other health workers who are all struggling, but I believe totally in my two products and am holding onto my dream of introducing France to non-drug, powerful forms of healing. I am having to radically change who I am; being 'me' hasn't worked so far so I'm working out how to present myself in their mode. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it; there are some pretty high mountain roads I could drive up and not come back.. but my aim is to become successful and learn to be happy in myself - otherwise this very hard life lesson was for nothing and I may have to repeat it in my next life if I don't change the energy in this one!.
So a powerful message like Sam's is very timely - to remind me that if you keep looking forward and what you've got is workable, it's doable. Very soon I'll be 60, and there's not one person who doesn't shake their head at my 'perilous' state, but I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. I don't care where I die - and I can't go home anyway - I've got no money for the plane fare. Sometimes I feel very alone, but this time it's all about manifesting my dream, and thank you for being you, Sam.
I'm in! Can't wait to get all of the info so I can live Saturday every day.
I am a school teacher (English, German, Social Studies, History) and I am currently planning the next five years of my life.
Living and working in Denmark as a Danish citizen, I am currently studying Bob Proctor's DVD and CD seminar and try to figure out what is online and come along a lot of interesting stuff.
My three major goals for the next 5 years are
1 working as a permaculture practitioner and consultant
2 working as a professional speaker - publicly speaking on my favourite subjects
3 working as a fundraiser for a major project I am currently planning .
There are other 75 goals I want to reach before I leave this world.
All comments are welcome.

THE HOUSE OF SATURDAYS!
Hello Sam, here is my story, hope it helps someone.
The fifties, I was born in December of 1954, my memories are very few and mostly of places and things, I enjoyed. I loved Santa, being outdoors, friends, and family.
The sixties started it all; this was the decade of Jesse. My memories are full of fun and excitement, freedom, of being ornery and mischievous, usually at someone else are expense; remember this was Jesse’s World. In 1966, I started my business career, we lived in South Omaha, about 100 yards from the Stockyards and at that time, it was the Worlds Largest Stockyards and employed thousand’s of workers, it was like having a town and zoo all wrapped up in one. They did not allow children to roam around and play in the Stockyards, so we would sneak in late in the afternoon, after most of the employees went home. If some of the night workers saw us they would chase us out, trying to hit us with cattle whips or anything they had. The excitement was enough to draw us back quite frequently. I had a Business owner in the neighborhood that wanted to buy pigeons, to train his hunting dogs. The stockyards were full of pigeons it was a gold mine! One day, when the temperature was around 100 degrees, I wanted money for pop, ice cream and even a swim would be great, if I could raise enough money! I started thinking how I could get all these workers in the stockyards to allow me in and catch some pigeons, to sell. While I was drinking a glass of Kool-Aid, I thought boy I bet the people over there running cattle, hogs and sheep, have to be hot and dying of thirst. I filled an igloo with Kool-Aid, threw in some ice, grabbed one glass and headed for the stockyards. Holy Crap I was right, before I went more than 30 yards into the stockyards, I was SOLD OUT of Kool-Aid at 10 cents a glass. All the people wanted to know if I was coming back and I said yes and went home refilled the igloo and headed back. I sold Kool-Aid, trapped pigeons in those stockyards for four years, and made many friends. My father worked in a packinghouse; he had coworkers who wanted wild rabbits, fresh, dressed and cleaned for their meals. I loved the outdoors and winters, with my pellet gun and snares, I would get plenty of rabbits, which I cleaned and sold for a dollar a rabbit. The following summer I began my paper route; on my paper route were five taverns where a lot of the stockyard workers would go after a days work. When I would go in to deliver my paper, my new friends (stockyard workers) would offer to buy me a pop or candy bar, I usually took them up on their offer. The sixties were good business!
During the seventies, the theme of Jesse’s world continued into High School for the first half of the seventies. I had couple of jobs through High School, carwash and packinghouses. I found out that I was good at sports and making friends. Mom and Dad funded all my activities and fun while I was in sports. Spring and summer was a time for me to go make money. Beginning in my sophomore year and through my senior year, several friends and I worked at the local packinghouses. I figured out which packinghouses were the best, the ones that guaranteed pay by piecework, if we got eight hours work done in four we still received eight hours pay. Being young and full of energy, along with my friends we could make some good money by working twenty to thirty hours a week and then receiving pay for forty!
Then started a brief period of my work life known as the dark ages; it also was the end of Jesse’s world, as it existed! Packinghouse work and by the fall of 1975, I had a son on the way and going to work in the packinghouse was very hard to do. My mind raced with things better than this type of work, but the family was growing my son in 1976 and daughter in 1978, it was not Jesse’s world any longer! I finished the seventies lost, the only joy was my children and friends, work was worst than a JOB, it was torture!
The eighties started as the seventies ended. I was working in the packinghouse and had another daughter, born in1983 and three months after she was born, I had an injury at work and was off for six weeks. This gave me time to think and look for other opportunities, I did not return to the packinghouse. I went to work in construction (home building) for a high school friend as a superintendent. This gave me the chance to work with customers and subcontractors, the passion for working with people and being creative along with solving problems was once again alive. I stayed in construction until 1986, and then I began selling life insurance. Working on commission only and supporting a family was a challenge and new experience, I grew, struggled and learned many lessons along with polishing my sales skills. I finished the eighties selling and working nights at a grocery warehouse to make ends meet.
The nineties lead me back to construction work. In 1990, I started work in the environmental construction industry. This was very rewarding work, installing petroleum fuel tanks, cleaning up contaminated soil and building new gas stations. The work, customers and coworkers were all appreciative of the work and service we were providing. I continued working at this company as a supervisor, while starting a construction company with a coworker, doing concrete work in the evenings and weekends. Our small construction company continued to grow to the point we could no longer work for someone else. We were now running our business full time and more work then we could handle. In January of 1995 my father past away, this was very hard, I lost my best friend and father. As I adjusted to my father being gone and children growing up, my wife and I divorced and went separate ways. I was very conscious of doing things right for my children and I did not want to do anything to dishonor my father’s name. During this time, I went back to work for an environmental construction company and supervised their construction projects and ran the construction department. In the summer of 1996, I met my angel and soul mate, her name is Marcy. While attending Mass one Sunday after meeting Marcy and now dating, I was over come by what I believe was the Holy Spirit accompanied by a bright light and a voice explaining the purpose and reasoning of my father’s death, my divorce and that I have everything I need! This is a whole other story I loved to discuss and will later. Marcy and I were married on April 19 of 1997. Marcy and I have eight children, seven girls and a son. On May 7 1997, Marcy and I started our business, Roberts Environmental Construction. The company had two employees, Marcy and I. I worked out of my pick up and loaded my tools in and out of my truck daily. I bid small jobs, used laborers from temporary help services. By the end of the summer, we added two full time employees. The following year we grew to six full time employees and by the year 2000, we had ten full time and two part-time employees.
The Twenty First Century, Roberts Environmental Construction continued to thrive and grow; we were able to purchase three acres of industrial ground and build a 4,200sf shop. We had contracts with the gas utility company to replace their concrete repairs through out the city. Marcy and I were purchasing a new home and looking to install an in ground swimming pool, this leads us to a manufacturer with a distributor in town and no installers. We installed our pool and six pools for the local dealer. In 2001 we continued to install pools, along with are other projects.
In July of 2001, the local dealer went out of business. We assisted the manufacturers to get customers products they had purchased, delivered. During this process several of the manufacturers, asked what we thought about opening a retail store. I was all for it, had to convince Marcy this was a good thing, none of us ever had retail experience. Here is where everything changes and rapidly. On September 7 2001, we opened our new store Roberts Pool and Spa, four days before 9/11, we continued to keep our focus on taking care of customers just as we had in our construction company, back up everything we say with exceptional customer service and follow through on every promise. This is a simple and very successful recipe, following this in the early years, Roberts Pool and the Better Business Bureau as the 2003 Integrity Award for exceptional customer service recognized Spa. The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce selected Roberts Pool and Spa as The New Business of The Year and The Sixth Fast Growing Company in 2004. Roberts Pool and Spa has been in The Aqua 100, recognizing the top 100 dealers in the country for five consecutive years, allowing us in the Aqua 100 Hall of Fame. We moved from our leased location to a 12,000sf building we purchased. Roberts Pool and Spa was now solely in the retail business, no long having the construction company and by 2006 subbing out all construction projects. In 2007, we sold the 12,000sf building and moved to a high-end shopping center, now subbing out the service and construction. I began working on a new project that would help the entire industry. I entertained selling Roberts Pool and Spa, and in the spring of, 2008 we had a couple of interested parties and we agreed to sell Roberts Pool and Spa to a past employee, who was a current service contractor for us. He started gathering financials and working with the banks. As we, all know now sales on luxury items virtually stop by the fall of 2008, our bank did not reopen our line of credit, Roberts Pool and Spa, being a seasonal company has worked as most seasonal companies work off their line of credit in the winter months. The impact was dramatic and with the combination of lost revenue from sales, Roberts Pool and Spa fell behind with payments. Both banks reassured Roberts Pool and Spa, the sale would go through, even giving us a 95% chance this sale will happen. Creditors were calling and bills continued to come in, December 1 of 2008, along with our attorney Roberts Pool and Spa sent a letter to our creditors reassuring them of how and when they would receive their money. Most were satisfied, some were not and threatened to do what ever they could to stop the sale and notify the public and file lawsuits. It was amazing how fast things had changed, accused of being thieves and crooks by the very people that were are business partners and friends. On December 12 of 2008, I was on my way home from a jobsite and suffered a stroke; I was missing for over ten hours and found by my family walking along a country road at 2am. In the morning, my wife took me to the hospital and got the diagnosis, I had suffered a stroke. I remained in the hospital for two days and followed that with a week of tests. I was under doctor’s care for the next 90 days.
Roberts Pool and Spa closed its doors on December 20, 2008. The buyer’s loan was denied and our bank refused to help with any type of restructuring or credit loan. The all out assault was on and in full force. We have fought off bankruptcy for over eight months, addressed lawsuits, and false accusations, we have sold personal items to raise money to meet financial responsibilities, and we have traded personal items with sub contractors so homeowners will not suffer. The economy and a health problem will not make us lose our integrity! Now comes all the STUFF we have to do with attorneys, banks, vendors and as we lose stuff, cars, trucks, homes and our lively hood as we knew it. This is not a story of losing it all! Marcy and I have grown deeper in love and we found our commitment to each other has been indestructible. The knowledge of knowing we have everything we need, our Faith has provided that! However, this is a story of gaining everything! We are gaining our lives, our family and our Saturday’s back. Forty-three years ago, as an eleven-year-old boy, I absolutely lived for Saturday’s and everyday of the summer was a Saturday! Every one of us has everything we need to make everyday a Saturday! As Marcy and I sort this, out and move forward, everyday will turn into Saturday again, soon! The power of Saturday is in each one of us, I will build my Saturday House, and this is where I choose to live. I know that there is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday house, I might have to visit them every so often, but I choose where I live, that is in the Saturday House! It is all about selling Kool-Aid, trapping Pigeons and snaring Rabbits, having a pop, ice cream and maybe a swim!

Greetings Sam,
My light bulb had almost gone out and now, thanks to you, it's lighting my path again.
Using minimal knowledge of ‘Course in Miracles’ I'd studied affirmations back in the 90s and it had saved me from the low self worth of Redundancy (after my corporate, executive job folded). With visualisation, I transcended the belief that I was NOT my job, nor the status it provided and visualised myself to a new reality. A year later I arrived in The Caribbean, where I established my own successful marketing business. I met and married a beautiful man, 15 years my junior. Life became all I wanted.
Then in 2002 I suffered a major stroke -
I was airlifted to Puerto Rico - but, lacking sufficient funds for therapy in USA, a week later I returned to my Island home, an island without therapy services. Unfortunately my fun-loving husband did not have the maturity to cope with an ailing wife, who he'd been told would most likely not survive - Sadly, I watched as he mourned my passing and began to act as a single man - I was able to understand his distancing himself and learned to forgive him. After all, my prognosis was poor and he was young. I was paralyzed on left side and unable to speak - no longer able to dance and my uncontrolable dibbling caused him much embarrassment.
I overcame the negativity of my own situation. I reached inside myself, decided to survive on my own terms and again began to visualise walking and talking. Slowly, day by day I actualized my visualisations. Within a year of visualiing, I was mobile, driving and back at work. However my brain damage caused acute pain (post stroke syndrome), my husband went completely feral.
Time to take take a serious inventory of my life: being at UK retirement age, I decided to leave the relationship, which was becoming toxic, cut my losses and come home to my mother country, with its welfare state and free medicines. I’m now safe and cared for, but my quality of life leaves a lot to be desired.
Spiritually exhausted I could not summons the energy to connect with my inner power - But now its coming back.. This time I’m learning to be more exact with my desires, with a time scale and most importntly, not trying to go it alone. I know you speak the truth - I’m living proof of visualisation.. Now I am preparing for the next chapter of my life and getting excited again.
Annie. England.
Sam,
Your story has resonated with me and I'm excited to make everyday Saturday!
I'm in.
Scott
Dear Sam,
I do not know what to say. I do not think I have any story worth telling that will inspire others. I, myself, is in dire need of money, I owe almost US$11,000 in my credit cards due mainly to delays in my salary (I work somewhere in the Middle East where workers are not among their priorities). Going back home is not an option right now where life can be worse, especially for a 65-year old, undergraduate man.
I spend most evenings in the office, surfing the net for anything that will bring me extra money but so far, almost all that I have come across are scams and those that seem legitimate require some money for them to let me in.
A few nights ago, I came across your Everyday is Saturday but how will I earn from it? I love reading books about self-improvements, msyticisms, subliminal approaches to problems, etc. I believe in the Law of Attraction and it says I should not think of the problems since it will attract more of it--but even I try to think of solutions--the bottom line is still my financial problems, the main reasons why I think of solutions in the first place. Am I making sense? I am sorry, but I am lost.
I have not given up hope yet. Maybe the Everyday is Saturday will be a blessing to me.
Hello Sam,
I would like to say that I am excited about your "EveryDay is Saturday".
I do not know where to begin, Back in 2006 I was in bad marriage that could not be saved and was pregnant which loss my son due to miscarriage. Then my ex -husband divorce me day after I buried my son.
I had lost my job 6 months later and my life was a mess.
Did realize that God took my son for a reason due to my marriage was not going anywhere and my ex husband is full of negative energy.
Now, I have remarried to a wonderful husband who supports me no matter what I do as long as I am HAPPY. We were living seperately during our first year of marriage due to had a Job and responsiblity in Management back in the United States. My husband is Egyptian, I had a beautiful Egyptian Wedding which never had one from my first Husband who was so cheap and did not want anyone to know that I was his wife.
Now, that I have a happy healthy marriage to my second husband who supports me and believed in me in everything I do.
Just wish he could be here with me in the United States. He tried to get approval to come but was denied. Reasons I will never know. I had live in Egypt with my second Husband this past year.
Now, I would love for him to be here with me to help fulfill our dream and reach our goals in life.
I have been out of work almost 2 years now due to "Budget Cuts", which is an excuse from the company. Anyway, I have been on unemployed. My Finances is deeply in trouble , I am in Debt big time and possible need to file Bankrupcty. Which I have been avoiding . I felt ashamed to do so.
When I heard your story there is no shame to it and that I am not alone.
Recently, I just started a Business as a Travel Agent and would love to see my business grow so I can do this line of work any where in the world so I could be with my Husband and start a family of my own . And to be DEBT FREE ,That is my Saturday!
Sam, I have an Idea that I would like to share with you which might help all other Champions and benefit from it .
Could you please contact me so I can share them with you . I believed we all can benefit from it .
Thank you for what you have done not for me but for all others who are inspired by your words " Everyday is Saturday" .
Sincerely,
Christine E. ( OHIO , USA )
Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for the inspirational/motivational stories and also for giving me an opportunity to share my life story that Sam Horn (bestselling author of Tungue Fu!) introduced as follows.
Hi Sam,
Thank you for doing such a great job of making us all feel the hope that making Every Day a Saturday.
My story is a bit long - hope that is OK.
I grew with a father who could not walk due to MS and a mother who worked hard in their grocery store to make ends meet so we (mother, father, two siblings and me) could all live a good life.
I was 18 y old when I was accepted in Denmark's Radio as sound technician. My dream was to become a TV producer/director so I figured if I could at least get my foot inside the door then my chances should be better.
In 1983 I was accepted as the first female sound technician ever in DR-TV. Now I felt I was getting even closer to my goal. It was very exciting to work as TV sound technician and yet it was quite a challenge. Nine months later I had to go back to my work in the radio as the boss there claimed they needed my work.
Long story short - in 1988 I was accepted in a special very intense education of six people carefully selected by DR to become a 'Super Procucer/Director". I was so excited and hoped this would be the answer to all my dreams.
Truth be told - it turned out to be the longest 1 1/5 of my life!
The education was very demanding and very stressful but I did get through it and was ready to start working in a job as producer/director in 1989.
I should mention that I got very sick around 1/5y after I started on the education. It appeared that I was developing MS. That was quite a shock to me. All my senses were opened in that moment I was told this and it was as if Universe was showing me a flashback of the times in my life where I had previously had MS attacks and it was clear to me that the reason for me to develop MS was fear.
Fear of not being liked, fear of people not wanting to hear what I had to say, fear of not being good enough - the list goes on and on and I understood in that brief moment that I HAD to concour my fear in order for me to get well again.
It's been a challenge however I have been quite successful in that direction and I am happy to tell that I do not have problems with MS.
Back to my story of being a director/producer - I was many times successful yet often times it seemed to be difficult to please all people especially the Excecutive Producer and journalists as well as the technicial personel but I hung in and did my best.
In 1995 I had to give up and 'go back' to being a sound technician in the tv studios. It was not a pleasant time for me but I stood it out.
During that period my desire for leaving my country developed. In 1998 I finally took the big step and left Denmark to move to Canada. It was difficult to leave family and friends behind however I knew I needed to take this step.
That was when I made "Every day a Saturday".
Moving to Canada has been a huge challenge and I am proud to say that I have more or less overcome most of the challenges.
My biggest challenge over here is to find a way to make a living that brings more than just being able to pay the bills (which at times I cannot even do).
In my homeland I was a respected sound technician with a very good income.
Here in Canada I have not been able to find a job as such nor do I think I would like to work as sound technician today.
In my spare time in Denmark I worked as healer. For some reason I seem to have a gift for doing that. Coming to Canada I could not easily get clients so one of my new friends advised me to become a hypnotist. I decided to take the courses needed for that purpose and today I have a business in which I give hypnosis or healing to people.
That is not really 'enough' for me. I love helping people however I wished I could find the right key for what it is I can be doing in order to make my life even better.
There is no doubt that I am happy having made the move here to North-America - I just need to make things even better.
So Sam - if you have any inspiration as to what I should be doing to make the money I need to make then I will be very happy to hear from you.
Kindest regards,
Cathrine Margit Moller,

Hi Sam,
I believe you are helping many to move forward in a positive way that will help them and their families and friends, rather like the ripple that starts in the centre of a great pond with the ripples going out wider and wider and helping many that do need a way to live that is not frenetic but allows their lives to become the full and happy times they should be.
Many things have happened to me some bad but I have to take the things I have learned and give them to others to help them protect themselves and other from the awful power that negativity can have over us.
I want to start a Centre of Light where anyone regardless of their financial situation can come to learn and have alternative healing and help whenever they need it and can walk out the door with a smile on their faces and the words every day is Saturday in their heads.
Need to make the money or win it first but I am never going to stop and will never give up.
I have not listened to the tapes yet but already I know what it is all about. This world and the people in it are bound to certain beliefs. They think inside the square - they are controlled by beliefs they were brought up with - the idea that you must be fit into the belief systems that are already there. Part of the negativity lies in group mentality which is very destructive and chains you to the ideas that are already around but definitely confining. I read a book a long time ago - about wisdom and somehow this book was the one that opened my mind to the limitless possibilities that are available to those who are able to open their minds to it. The sky is the limit. I live in Alice Springs and the bullying that goes on here to force people to conform to certain belief is in itself unbelieveable. The abuses that come from this system are shocking. Anyone that is in control of their own actions is under condemnation. I am a very poor widow according to people here - worthless valueless. However according to me I have everything I ever need and whatever I have not got is already on my pathway waiting to manifest itself here on earth. There have been many people trying to stop me getting what is mine by devine right - because of so many negative people they have delayed it but I am finally free of it. I knew a long time ago that I had to free myself from this thinking to get where I am meant to be. Many destructive things have happened because of the many negative controlling people around me but I am an overcomer and I can get nothing but good in my life now. To overcome the limitations of the world is one of lifes greatest achievements. To be of this world but not in it.
My one hope is to try to help others around me understand this. If every person in this world helped one person then all would be well. There is enough in this world for everyones need but not for their greed. It is not wrong to have but wrong to hoard.
I don`t have a story
Hi Sam & Everone else,
I am a singel mom, 2 girls.
I have worked all my life, and always giving 100%. But never getting all my effort back.
In my last job, I would start work usually at 8 in the morning.
That ment getting on my bike between 6.30 & 7 am and dropping the girls of at daycare a few minutes later. Rain, snow.. We would be out there (making a differance.. duh). After 2 years I got sick and the telecommunication company I worked for changed the opening hours from 8 am to 9am.... I did not get my contract renewed and now am at home. I am not recentfull. I am good with things the way they are. Atleast now I get to do things with my girls, the things I had to do with out when I was working, trying not to live of other people. As mentioned, I am a singel mom with no support, it's just the girls and me.
I am involved with Reiki and other energy forms and I would like to keep on doing this for a living. I am at home now for 4 months and have cleanded and redone my home, new floors, paint, really cleaned out my house. Hell, I even have space left, LOL
Now that I am done I would like to get on and start very own:
Every Day Is Saterday for the girls and me.
Warm reguards, Diedy
I can't wait to tell my story, but first please answer me a question. In the beginning of the video you spoke about getting your story out and making money. I did not follow that. Is there a way of getting our story out and make money at the same time (and not by selling on National Enquire lol).?
I have to say I can't remember how I was directed to your emotional uplifting persona, I think it was through Holly Mann, but I can't remember. It really does not matter, as you peaked my interest the first video I say. I want to be a Champion. I believe I am succussful and Creator believes me to be successful - I do want to be better though.
You are an inspiration to all who read your words. I plan on sticking around for some time. I will have a story soon.
I want to let you know that I came across this before I ended up going in the hospital for being in a Mania episode. After I got out I started listening to it and it is exactly what happened to me. I have been in the factory work for the 31 years I have been chained out there. What comes from the heart reaches the heart. I'm not all worked up about going back.like I was about a year ago. I am at peace. I owe it to you and your words. My mind is not cluttered. I listened to your audios and I learn something each day I listen to them. I am finally living in the real world.
Dude,
My “Every Day is Saturday” adventure is in a continuous state of becoming. One of my mentors always says “when you’re no longer able to share your personal story, you’re dying.” Thank you for sharing yours and for inviting me to share mine.
Like you, my existence is nothing short of miraculous. I’ve been told that I should either be on drugs, locked up or dead. As a young boy I had the best life ever. Terrific parents, a lot of siblings to tease and countless positive examples to learn from. Life was awesome! By the time I was 15 years of age my parents started having pretty serious marital problems, what a mess! The summer before my sophomore year of high school my mom hit the road leaving my dad with five kids, two of which were under the age of five. What a bigger mess!
That summer, early 1970’s, me and a brother just 11 months younger than me were left to run amuck. Through a family friend my brother and me met a guy around our age that belonged to a gang; we didn’t know it at the time. By day the gang played football and basketball, definitely a great fit for me and my bro. Oh, but at night, hanging out included drinking beer, smoking weed and stealing cars. Thanks but no thanks! That same summer, through that same family friend, I was introduced to this high school junior dude, an upper classman…coooool! He and his friends played in a rock band…more cooool! Because of my interest in music I fit right in and in fact I was invited to be a member of the band; score! He was a great friend and his family was incredible. They treated me as if I was a part of the family. Well, it didn’t take long to figure out that my new friend was mostly interested in drinking beer, smoking weed and getting (sorry) laid, and that what interested him the most didn’t really float my boat. There was a positive though…his family took me in. Another score!
Thinking that all of this uncertainty was a temporary situation, which it always is, and that soon my family would be back together… bam!!! My world was rocked at the news that my mom was killed in an automobile accident. I was devastated to say the least. Instantaneously I somehow knew that I could either crawl into a hole and die, or pick up the pieces the best I could and keep moving forward. During my childhood all I wanted to do was have my parents be proud of me. In fact, 27 years later it is still something that drives me. In addition, I was the oldest of five. My brothers and sister needed me be a leader.
Now a high school junior, I was still trying to figure out where I fit in. There was a lot I didn’t know then, but one thing I was certain of was that I was destined to do something special with my life and be somebody. A team mate of mine from the football team, someone I didn’t really know, came up to me at a dance one evening; I was still playing in that band. He introduced himself, not a very common occurrence at that age. At the time I didn’t know it, but that meeting would change my life. My new friend, although he was kind of geeky, didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, he liked music and he played football. For a geek he was damn good at playing football. Bingo! As our friendship grew I got to know his family; great people that treated me like one of their own. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I was supposed to meet this guy and his family. They all saw something in me at a vulnerable time in my life. Because of that association I met other great people who were goal oriented and ambitious which is how I wanted to be. Thanks to their encouragement and support I graduated from college and accomplished other things in my life that I’m certain I would not have had the courage to even try.
To live each day of life as if me and my family are on vacation is my “Every Day is Saturday” destination. Thank you for sharing yours and for your interest in mine. Peace!
I have a huge story; I don't know where to begin. I was told to write years ago by an intuit. At that time I did not know what I was supposed to be writing about. I think I know now.
Thank you so much for such an inspiration! I am continously trying to make everyday "Saturday" for me and my Grandkids! I have to keep pushing forward. I am tired of this rat race, that gets me nowhere, but more stress and debt!
Hi Sam,
I didn't have found the time to read all of the reactions above, but I would'nt wait longer to react.
I realy admire your power and positivity!
I'm sure I have my own story but for the moment (more than the last 15 years) I am stucked in a negative turn, not knowing how to change it. I am not a quitter but it could be fear and lack of believe in myself that drivers me to do what I do now. In the mean time I'm buzzy to work on 4 different jobs who are no longer to combine and don't provide me in my daily needs. I know I have to let go some of it but I need to break through with something to provide in my living and to have a chance to start living instead of overliving!My message in this life is to help other people and to treath others the way we want to be treathed ourself! But how can I do this when I can't help myself?
Can you help me please?
Kindest and greatfull regards.
Lia
Hi Sam,
Good Morning! That's the greetings of my business partners whenever we met together. I am a struggling businessman today on how to become a successful entrepreneur because I have joined in networking company, the name of our company is DXN Int'l Pvt., Ltd. Actually, for now, I'm still learning on how to have a good relationship to people so that I can convince them to join also in networking business. I still have a difficulty on what to do and what to say to them whenever there are opportunities to talk to them. Difficulty on how to convince them. Can you give me some tips on how to become a successful entrepreneur? Thank you.
Ah, my saturday...I would like to write for a living, articles and stories that help transform people's lives. I want to help them find their gifts and share them with the world, and convince other people to do likewise. I want to support myself, my wife, and my baby triplets by earning money from my creative endeavors.
My Monday is that I am a project manager for a large corporation. I'm not empowered to make decisions or encouraged to be creative. It's good money with good benefits, but painful to my health, both mentally and physically, and painful to my soul.
SO I write everyday, during my lunch hours (a misnomer...more like my lunch fifteen minutes) I outline article ideas, listen to or read motivational info. I do what I can with the time I have. Someday, I will make it, I feel the momentum, I'm just lacking the patience and perseverance.
Dear Sam,
I am in the age group of 50. Everday is saturday is a wonderful story. I am very much excited to be participating in this collective mind theraphy and upon for any help and suggestions. I would like to leave my present health troubling job and want a right track in succeding any business in India especially in Kerala and stay with my family members too. I also need some good finance for my daughter's marriage which is very nearing i.e. in the first week of December, 09. Since there is no one to lep me in my family, I need your support as fast as possible in order to boost in finance steps.
Hi Sam
I am in a mundane 8:30 to 4:30 job. Same thing every day.
I have been trading the Forex for about 4 years and getting coaching from a company in Canada twice a week.
My aim is to become good enough to be able to trade for a living.
Also to tour around Australia and trade in the evenings at our stop overs.
That is my goal.
Regards Howard
Dearest Sam - we can't thank you enough for your incredible guidance and support these past months. We truly believe we've found our Saturday and have always endevoured to be your 'model students' to achieve the results we know we deserve.
Much love coming your way.....K & K xx
Hi Sam
I don't know what made me buy your product as it was through a subscription to Tom Murasso that I received an email about your CD's. I've been receiving these emails for months and not bought any products. But I tell you what its the best money I have ever spent. I was dubious about what it could do for me and didn't really know if motivational stuff would work for me as was feeling very gloomy as my mother has just passed from terminal cancer, so wasn't expecting much given my circumastances. But guess what, i've only got to Tuesday CD and it is getting me fired up and motivated, just on the small things in my life that have been lying around for months like paying bills, getting refunds sorted out, getting phonecalls made, joined a weight loss class to get my weight down(yes binged terribly during my mothers illness) and just generally feeling more positive about my prospects. I've actually stopped procrastinating over the small things so I'm sure i'll be able to get the bigger things sorted out soon once all the small things are cleared off. At the minute I have a day job which is well paid, comfortable but doesn't make my heart sing. My hobby is holistic therapies and I would like to eventually have my main job in this. Your Tuesday CD was brill as I suddenly realised I'm just not prepared to get clients, so its got me thinking of how I can prepare myself, business cards, website, getting room sorted out for clients. I've done all my training, got all my certificates just not sorted out the practising therapist bit.
Thanks again for lifting me out of the doldrums so quickly after my mother passed. I would recommend everyone should listen to your CD's after a terrible loss, as definitely gets you back in the land of the living and motivated again and most of all fired up and excited about your own life again!.
Oh and thanks for the tips on real estate this was on my agenda to buy some property in the next year and your nuggets of advice have really helped and will buy the books. Exactly the info I needed to hear but obviously didn't expect to get that advice in your CD's. Extra bonus for me I think!!
Thanks
Your friend

Hi Gillian,
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the Six Days To Saturday program. I'm sorry to hear of your loss, those are very difficult times to get through but we get through them nonetheless.

I look forward to meeting you at a live event.
Sam
Hey Sam I get the clue. Anyway thanks for let me share
Hi Sam,
I am reading other peoples comments on a Saturday!! And I know how relaxed I feel today compared to the other days of the week. I am 57 and feel I could help the poor (in spirit and in financial ways) in my country. Morale here is so low that many people want to leave to go to a different country for a better way of life. It is so sad because my country, Latvia, is already a beautiful country it just needs a more positive and caring attitude to people in the community.
People also do not so much value marriage or care for the elderly and there are many single mothers and broken relationships here as well as elderly beggars who should not be in such a state so late in their lives. It makes me very sad.
I look forward to your input.
Anita
Sam my brother,
When I found you through an affiliate on the net...I instantly felt a bond with you. We are kindred spirits. I am exactly where you were just a few short years ago. I am a champion of personal growth and have a powerful Saturday story. You see I am a big guy...I'm 6'-4" and 218lbs but most of my life I have been playing small. I have hidden my "bigness" so much so that I have lived a most of my life half lived. I am an entrepreneur and have had some successes and a couple of failures. The latter is which I am recovering from financially. The repo man is coming this week if I do not come up with a miracle. Ouch! So I know your story.
However, I have always had a dream of being a world class professional speaker, author and coach. I have done toastmasters for 12 years, train the trainer programs and belonged to professional organizations. I have spoken for corporations, associations and conventions. I am a sponge for information and personal growth. Like you...I love it!!! Yet I have been in the "starting block" of the big race for some time.
I have been afraid of my bigness because I know I would be damn good at it and it scared the crap out of me on some level. Not believing I could do this.
I went through a period that I would wish on no one. It's too much to put into words here, but it made me stronger and now I am reading to Show Up in my life. My "bigness" is here my friend and I am ready start showing up in my life. I am writing a book and developing a program based on my life and my turn around.
The timing of your program coming in to my life was like a gift from God as I could not believe the similarities we share.
Sam, 6Days to Saturday has really put a fire in my belly and I am so stoked at getting my message to the world.
Thank you and many blessings my friend!
Dwayne
Hello Sam,
First, thank God for Sam Crowley, you are truely an inspriational person.
As Sam, said we all have our story. I will just tell you the quick version of my story.
Growing up I lived with my grandparents (they were somewhat strict, especially my grandmother, at least that was the way I saw it at the time, being so young) now that I look back at it, they were very caring and protective.
I met my high school sweet heart when I was 13 years old (he was 1 1/2 older than I was). We married after I finished high school and we had a son. The marriage lasted 15 years, however, we only lived together as husband and wife for little over a year (we were too young to have gotten married - that darn hind sight vision, what can you say.
Fast forward, I started working when my son turned 5 years old (diffrent jobs) to take care of my son and myself - I did what one was suppose to do. I never liked any of the jobs I had, especially working in an office enviroment, need I say more.
I moved from the east coast to the west coast (Las Vegas) after my son graduated from high school and joined the Navy, I wanted a change. Mind you I had never been to the west coast, my mom always said you are like a little gyspy.
Before, I moved to Las Vegas I had made arrangements for a place to live before I got here, minus a job. With the savings that I had, I didn't look for work right away.
Moving right along, after a while I started looking for work. I still didn't know anyone and I said to myself, I need to meet people and there was an ad in the news paper about a business presentation (which I attended) and I met my best friend and still is to this day, (which is now 11 years) the business didn't work out.
My friend asked if I would like to share his home, being that we were always together and I said yes, so, I gave up my place (he is a retired USAF officer).
My friend is now at a stage in life where he really depends on me (I never got a job) I have been blessed to have met him.
However, I'm at a point in life where I need Every Day Is Saturday to be Saturday. Not that I would leave my friend alone at this stage of his life.
So, I have a online business which I have just started. And for the person who said a lot of the things he has seen on the internet are scams or they want money before you can get going.
I say yes, only to a point. There are scams so you should be careful. Also, doing business on the internet is different than doing business if you had a brick and mortor business.
Offline or online yes, you have to invest your money, time, and energy. When you see online statements such as I made x amounts of dollars in 2 weeks, 1 month e.i. it can be true (however, it's not overnight, it takes time to build your business) you have to treat it like a business and not a hobby or it will pay you like a hobby.
Present day - on a lighter note, I listen to Sam's podcasts over and over again. There is one where he talks about don't go to lunch with people. Well today, I went to lunch and there were two guys sitting near me and I could hear the conversation.
One guy just went on and on talking about his boss and everyone in the office. I couldn't keep a straight face, I couldn't help not laughing, the other guy had a look on his face that remined me of Sam, as if he was thinking I should have just given this guy lunch money and sent him on his way.
I'm sure there was no getting away from him because they probably rode together.
I start my day listening to Sam, he is refreshing, funny, and guess what, at least for me I get it.
I have come across some others and I just have to say where is your fire, your energy, they have about as much personality as a carved out pumpkin.
Once again, thank you soooo much Sam, you are right up there with some of the best.
You know Sam it doesn't matter how successful you are in life, in business, in health or in anything else you still need someone to remind you what your mission is and your purpose. You compliment that and for that I thank you. With Love Christopher
Sam -Your positive energy is empowering! I am more driven now to write a book about my personal story. I have intended to do this for 2 years and have written a few pages but I am now determined to do it by the Summer of 2010. My story... came to the USA as a teenager without knowing how to speak a word of English... attended a Catholic HS in NJ... began to speak English in 3-4 months... although I understood it within 2-3 months.. .spent 5-6 hours each night translating my homework (other than Math... attended college.. graduated with honors..voted most likely to succeed... survived a home environment where my father had drinking problems... married at 21 for the wrong reasons (wanted out of the house and afraid to do it on my own) .. my now ex-husband was a great guy who I loved dearly (1st love).. remained married for 10 years... accumulated a decent net worth.. enough to buy a nice home in the suburbs... found out my husband was cheating on me when I was about to give birth to our daughter... My daughter was born in 2005.. the best and worst year of my life... born of my child (BEST GIFT I WILL EVER RECEIVE IN MY LIFE)... lost my marriage.. lost my job (company relocated to another state) and suffered from post-partum depression.. survived it thanks to the loving support of family and friends .. and a very special man, John... I used to be very driven but did not really enjoy the moment in my 20's... I am much more grateful for the SIMPLE THINGS in life in my 30's... I realized that good things can happen... IT IS ALL UP TO ME! Thank you Sam! You are INSPIRATIONAL!
Hi Sam,
It's so good to meet you. I believe in Divine Guidance, and I happened onto your site because someone left a comment on my blog, and it was put in the spam folder. Fortunately I read it instead of trashing it, and your site was mentioned in it so I had to look you up.
I just turned 70 years old, and yes I have a story, and I guess I need to learn how to tell it. I will be following you on your site, and definitely want to learn more about you. You certainly have a lot to offer. I really enjoy your enthusiasm. I never heard talk like that when I was working a full time job.
I sincerely hope that you do contact me because I think that I may have something that could benefit both of us, and i'd like you opinion about it.
God bless you Sam for what you're doing. You're putting hope back into peoples lives.

Hello Wednesday, watch on the other hand. I listened to Sam talk about waking up in the middle of the night writing his e book and damn didn't that happen to me that night. I was fired up ,I could not stop writing about my story. Now to clean it up an get it published. Sam, the podcast webinar was fantastic. Two weeks up and running 35 followers and well over 100 downloads. Fired up, fired up. Thank you Sam
You said enter your name and email to get access to "Saturday stories" at the end of your video. I do not see anywhere to do this. So is there a place to see "Saturday stories" like you said in the video?
Just wondering. Also what subject qualifies. It seems like that the story needs to be related to "Personal Development". What if you joy, hobby, love, in life is not related to Success, Personal Development, self-improvement? My joy in life and what I truly love and care about and who I am is related to science and technology. And my story will be influenced by that certainly. So what if your story does not appeal to the self-improvement, personal development genre?
I am struggling with this. I know what I love, but it seems like there's no story yet.
Much like the Atkinsons of Australia been kicking the idea of going back to a "regular job" -- my story: I left a good job to go across the US being optimistic & hopeful to find work in another state with family near by only to find slim pickings. After 6 months-- gave up all my furniture and came back to So. California and slept on the floor at Moms for a whole year (not even a mattress) so i can relate to Sam's video feed of March 26 -- on Gratitude from the "Attack Video". I need help to take launch several ideas to share: My Story - Eco Friendly Products - & Healing Ministry Service with others. I want to have "Every Day is Saturday" to pay if forward to others
Blessings to all
Esther
I heard you tonight for the first time. It might be useful for us to talk. I have an idea for you. All my best and thanks for all you are doing.
