MDI Feedback Testimonials

Monday 02nd June saw another 'MillionDollarize YOUR Business' (MDI) workshop - see http://www.mdiventures.blogspot.com/ - held at, and venue sponsored by, The PALAZZO, Montecasino Boulevard, Fourways.

Writes Paula de Pinho:

Dear Trevor

As always, you bring something new to the table and stir up emotions that as business entrepreneurs, know we have, but for some reason, just don’t change our mindset in order to shift from the one scale to the bigger picture.

For most people Change means uncertainty and upsets the routine to which they are accustomed to. It brings on feelings of negativity and self doubt.

Workshops such as yours, allows the attendees, that much needed alone time to seriously re-consider the necessary steps forward, in order to achieve the goals and dreams we all so badly want.

It also allows each member present to see for themselves that they are not alone in this struggle and that with a little push from INNER Circle mentoring, they can achieve what they thought was unachievable.

We shouldn’t take life too seriously as we are all going to die anyway, so why not make the best of it NOW.

If Johnny the Bagger could do it - then why can't we. Johnny is an inspiration and Dandelion to us all.

Hopefully at our next meeting, the enlightened members present will see the Gorilla in me - LOL.

As for the Palazzo management and staff, whom I have come to know so well due to various meetings held there with VIP’s, it would be an insult not to once again remind them, that they never go unnoticed and their level of expertise and service needs no improvement.

I have & would repeatedly recommend Mark the CEO to all business Entrepreneurs for his never ending patience and personal attention to detail. He has my thumbs up and my partners and I will follow him, wherever he may go.

Having Joseph serve us breakfast every morning, brightens up my day with his excellent manner, and obvious skills, acquired at the Palazzo, that being a very necessary requirement of mine, for my guests.

Private dinning and excellent cuisine prepared by Mark and his team for our dinner reservation with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, was exquisite. Thanks Mark.

Looking forward to meeting you all again with Trevor and the Palazzo team.

Hi Trevor


Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend this very special workshop. It was indeed insightful and incredibly valuable.

I am very excited about the future and what it holds in store for me.

Would you be so kind to write a one liner for me about your experience with It’s my Life…..would you mind if I use that in my marketing material?

Thanks again and take care.

Writes Brian Carter:

Hi Trevor

It was a privilege to be at the MDI meeting on Monday at The Palazzo. Thank-you for a day well spent, and for the opportunities that abound because of the opportunity in itself to be a part of this process.

It is a process, of exploration, of believing then seeing, of seeing the gorilla, of seeing the opportunity, of seeing the dandelion, of seeing the good frame to the great frame, of shift happening, of celebrating what's right with the world, of being the best for the world.

I look forward to MillionDollarising!

To the team at The Palazzo: there is no better place to have these sessions. The Palazzo is a phenomenal establishment, with quality food, excellent service, and fantastic people all adding to the incredible experience.

Mark, thank-you for hosting us. Debra, thank-you for your assistance as always. Joyce, thank-you for the wonderful lunch and refreshments all day. Mohale and Eric, thank-you for attending to us in such a professional and friendly manner - you are both assets to The Palazzo.

Best regards

The INNER Circle Circle gathering at the Palazzo was, as usual, a day well spent. So nice to get away from the doom and gloom we read every day and get into a positive environment amongst people who do see the bigger picture.

The content was inspiring and all the participants were generous with their contributions.

Top marks again to the venue for keeping our sugar and caffeine levels where they needed to be, and for the thorough, but unobtrusive service.

See you all on the other side of the million!

I would also like to thank you for Monday’s workshop. It was an interesting day and I feel it was worth every hour that I spent out of the workplace. I left there feeling extremely motivated as well as feeling I was really glad I had been part of the workshop and met such a great bunch of people.

Writes Arnold Pollak:

Dear Mark:

Just want to say thank you to you and your excellent staff.

Attending Trevor's session on Monday was an eye opener, not only because of his content, but also because it has been a LONG time since I have see such professional staff.

Your staff (Mohale and Eric) were exceptionally friendly and professional, catering to our (the delegates) every need in a courteous and professional manner.

I cannot praise the lunch enough, so I will just say that the 'snack' at lunch time was superb.

I will definately be visiting your fine establishment again.

Once again, Many Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Thanks Trevor

It truly was a day very well spent away from my business. I loved the video
clip with the gorilla – it really woke me up to realizing the opportunities under my nose which sometimes I could miss.

The dandelion effect got me to realise I always need to look at things from a different perspective – no matter how disappointed I am.

A marvelous day – fabulous venue and food – and great people.

Kindest regards

Great inspiring stuff, particularly in the context of the “Celebrate What’s Right With The World” and “Shift Happens”
But the best part was undoubtedly the food! (Sorry Trevor, that’s not a reflection on the meeting, rather on the excellence of the Palazzo)

Writes Julie du Bois:

Trevor
What a brilliant day it was teaching us to Million$ise our businesses!.

To be encouraged to think out of the box (or look under the dandelion) and to be told how important it is to Believe before we See rather than the other way about plus so many more aids to develop us and our businesses.

To spend a day with like minded entrepreneurs and to be treated (and fed) like Kings by the staff at the Palazzo. What a day to revitalize the grey matter and the soul.

Many heartfelt thanks to you and the Team at the Palazzo.

Writes Sacha Traub:

Hi Trevor

I would like to thank you for an enjoyable and inspirational day, even though a bit daunting. I took the whole day to get the penny drop for me and I think at the end what rang out for me the most was how limited my thinking is, and how I am my own worst enemy.

I truly believe we are a victim of our circumstances and know that I am currently struggling to see the HUGE picture that is out there. I know havethe skills, energy and enthusiasm, I may be lacking in the confidence inputting the plan into action.

Would we be able to meet or could you correspond via email to give me a new suggestions on who to speak to and help me mobilise the Gorilla under my nose. I want big things however am feeling a little intimidated in which direction to follow. I obviously believe in God's plan and know we have been put in the same room for a reason, please can you assist me in identifyingthe best way forward from here.

The venue was fantastic, the food and service unbelievable. Definitely avenue I would choose to run workshops. Have already recommended the Palazzo to a friend of mine that was looking for a year end function, and he has made enquiries accordingly.

Have a great day!!

Best wishes

MDI Delegates Find Dewitt Jones - Celebrating LIFE

Special thanks to Stef de Bruin for introduction to the Dewitt Jones video: Celebrate What's Right With The World

- Dewitt underscored the importance of being OPEN to possibilities that exist all around us, almost all the time.
- Dewitt's 'dandelion' moment demonstrated the importance of taking quiet time to look at things from a fresh perspective ('believing is seeing').
- Said Dewitt: 'As a photographer I pray for CHANGE'.
- He talked of being open to ways to 'Accelerate the Possibility Curve'.
- That moving from good frame to GREAT frame is a miniscule step.
- Ivan Andersen showed how most of us miss the 'gorilla' (opportunity et al) right in front of our noses.
