This is a story about identity theft and how I discovered my identity had been stolen. Some of the headaches, the endless paperwork and the things I wished I would have known years ago. I am determined to get back to a FICO score above 720

Landmark Education

Posted by Kevin

In December I enrolled in a self help, get your shit in order and figure out who you can be seminar called the Landmark Forum. A friend of mine David at the office (he has since been fired, hummmm… Does this really work?) told me about it back in March of last year but I really was not interested in it.

I then met up with a client coincidentally another David this one David S. So David S is an ultra successful serial entrepreneur who has made millions capitalizing on different ideas. From jumping into the ever popular mortgage race to product sales and has build a number of successful businesses. David from the office was a bit of a crack-pot but David S is in my view a successful guy.

So back in November David S and I were talking about life goals and paths and where he has come from and where I want to go and he mentions Landmark Education. So this time I listen. He told me about how it changed his life for the better and how he transformed as a person – from meek and geeky to geeky but powerful.

Needless to say I was intrigued. So I Googled Landmark on the internet and found a wide range of articles, but most of them bad. Not sort of bad, but bad bad. But knowing that bad news spreads faster than good news I wanted to make sure that what is online had some credibility. So I started asking people if they had heard of it and wow I was surprised. About 1 in 5 had heard about it and about 1 in 15 had actually done it. And of those who did it almost 100% of them said that it made a significant impact in their lives for the positive.

So I was sold. I went online and registered for a course that was in December. It was 3 days and one evening long. It started early on a Friday morning and the weekend ends late on a Sunday and then there is a Tuesday evening event. (I skipped this…more later, but a little to “saleszy” for me)

So what was it like? Well I can honestly, 100% say that it made a huge impact on me. I feel like a much lighter person and that the whole world is filled with possibility and I know that I can conquer any challenge that life puts before me!

Ok, you got to admit that this sounds a little far fetched and like a pitch – sorry I am just so enthusiastic about it that I want to contribute to others my having gotten clarity in just 3 days.

So what is it all about? Think of 200 people in a room, people from all walks of life just getting together with one question in mind. That question is what the hell am I doing here? At the beginning of the weekend I hated everyone. One person reminded me of an old boss, the guy Jerry who was the forum leader had huge teeth and was obviously out of the closet (a ballet dancer). I had NOTHING in common with anyone there, or so I thought.

I was trying to figure out what each persons mental defect was. What had them come to the forum? As far as I was concerned I was there to make more money and become richer… I did not have any “issues” to deal with. My parents did not beat me toooo often, I did not do drugs, did not have “emotional problems” like I thought that everyone else had to have. But I wanted to be successful like David S, not like the retard Dave at the office.

For the first day and a half, I could not focus. I was just thinking about myself. There were people up there who were balling their eyes out about how this or that had happened to them and this is why they are the way they are. Basically – not trying to be a mini Landmark Forum leader – people are trapped in the past and they need to get over it. But getting clear and getting over it takes a significant effort and for most people they never get over it.

When I finally tuned-in on the second day I started to see places in my life where I had been inauthentic and judgmental and where what had happened to me, or the way that I understand the world was holding me back from an amazing future.

OK. So bottom line, I am about four months after the Landmark forum and I feel amazing every day. I have reconnected with old friends, I am closer to my family than ever before and I even have a workable relationship with the ex-wife. Something I never thought would happed. EVER. If getting closer to the people you love means that Landmark is a Cult… Then I am a happy happy cult member :-)

People in the office are just amazed at how much easier I have become to deal with, I am making more money and life is really just easier than it has ever been. I am sold! Oh, sorry – there is some sales pitches in the forum. Actually more than just some… Think of it as affiliate marketing – they are just trying to get you to recommend it to your friends and them to their friends and so on. I guess that is what I am doing here.

I am recommending it because it has made a big impact in my life. In the here and now, not in the someday one day kind of impact.. but right now. I am going to be taking a seminar and then the Advanced Course of their curriculum for living. Who knows maybe the cult stuff comes later – but right now I am so powerful it really does not matter what other people on who have never tried it have to say about it.

If you have questions, let me know. I would be happy to give you more details.
