Toastmasters was a good place to immerse myself with English. But it was not enough for me to close the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. I needed to study the contents I would deliver as a speaker.
While watching many YouTube videos, I was fascinated by people such as Larry Winget, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Les Brown, and Bob Proctor. Especially, I was attracted by Bob Proctor, one of the stars of the movie The Secret.
In 2012 or so, I bought his audio program and listened it many times. I didn't understand very well but I felt that he was telling me something extremely important. I wanted to know more. I listened it again and again. I felt like it was not English that prevented me from understanding it. The difficulty came from the depth of the contents.
I checked his website and found his 13 months coaching program. I was interested but hesitated to buy it because I thought it was expensive, something like $6,000. A funny thing happened almost a year later. I visited his website again and signed up for another program, which was 6 days live event in Toronto where he lived. The price for the event was much higher than that of the coaching program I rejected a year before. Why? My desire to know more got much stronger at this point. I didn't want to waste my time anymore I thought.
In May 2014, I was in Westin Hotel in Toronto attending the event. I couldn't understand the program because of my lack of English ability. But I changed. I reinvented myself. I started believing something big in me. How could I transform myself even though I couldn't understand the language?
I cannot explain but Bob Proctor became my role model and my mentor at this point. Do you have your role models and mentors?
