Our first motivational speaker was announced to the stage by Gary Shawkey.  His name is Dr. Wayne Dyer.  I had prepared myself to get totally motivated in relation to working my Internet businesses.

Yes, at the end of the session I was definitely motivated, but I also had a spiritual awakening and renewal that I didn’t expect at all.  This renewal came from being totally inspired by listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer.  That was in 2003 and as I reflect on the event now, I can say God rescued me.

Dr. Wayne Dyer, called the “father of motivation” by his fans, is one of the most widely known and respected people in the field of self-empowerment. He became a well-known author with his best-selling book, Your Erroneous Zones, and has gone on to write many other self-help classics including, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem and Staying on the Path, Pulling Your Own Strings, Everyday Wisdom, and You’ll See It When You Believe It.

When Dr. Dyer entered the stage, he asked for a few moments to get set up and made a joke to the audience about the firewalking experience we would have later on that night.  I think he was trying to scare us.

He lives in Maui and was working on a book that was a culmination of his life’s work, and it would probably be his last book in that area.  The book is called The Power of Intention.  The Power of Intention is having an unbending desire in your heart, just like my unbending desire to be at the event and to write this e-book.  The Power of Intention is now in bookstores; I’ve purchased my copy.
