I am Laguna Beach, beautiful Laguna Beach.

Howard Brown: 00:00:22

Right? You have the guide to go to beach and I'm

Howard Brown: 00:00:25

going to come visit soon. So it's gonna be amazing. Well, I

Howard Brown: 00:00:28

have to tell you that this show is intriguing to me, because you

Howard Brown: 00:00:33

spent a lot of time with this legend called Bob Proctor. It's

Howard Brown: 00:00:36

absolutely incredible. And we're gonna learn a lot about that.

Howard Brown: 00:00:39

But tell people about you because I am learning more about

Howard Brown: 00:00:42

you. And I've attended a couple of your amazing workshops. And

Howard Brown: 00:00:46

so 30 years ago, Diane Armitage was a brand new entrepreneur.

Howard Brown: 00:00:52

And you really didn't know what you were doing. At least you're

Howard Brown: 00:00:55

just kind of feeling your way trying to learn, you know, the

Howard Brown: 00:00:58

ropes and things like that. On your first day of business. You

Howard Brown: 00:01:01

met Bob Proctor, one of the world's greatest teachers on

Howard Brown: 00:01:05

human potential and success. And he chose you to be a writer. How

Howard Brown: 00:01:09

amazing you must have really impressed or he saw the

Howard Brown: 00:01:12

potential in you for the next 27 years of your life. Diana Bob

Howard Brown: 00:01:18

worked as writing partners creating curriculums and

Howard Brown: 00:01:21

programs and marketing to help millions of people transform

Howard Brown: 00:01:23

their lives. And absolutely that's such an alignment with

Howard Brown: 00:01:28

lifting people up, as I say in shining brightly. It's that's

Howard Brown: 00:01:31

how you do it. Now, you basically also the 30 year owner

Howard Brown: 00:01:36

of global marketing agency, you are nicknamed The Creator to the

Howard Brown: 00:01:40

creators a secret weapon a millionaire maker by clients

Howard Brown: 00:01:44

such as Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen

Howard Brown: 00:01:47

rei.com, the Biltmore hotels.com are REMAX International and

Howard Brown: 00:01:52

Patagonia Safale some small brands and some small names out

Howard Brown: 00:01:54

there that you've been able to rub shoulders with and work

Howard Brown: 00:01:57

with. That's really great. Well, Bob brought Bob Proctor passed

Howard Brown: 00:02:02

away in 2022. And before that, he urged you the protege to

Howard Brown: 00:02:07

become the teacher. And today, you are the mentor and the

Howard Brown: 00:02:11

master teacher on a global level. You teach entrepreneurs

Howard Brown: 00:02:14

and wannabe entrepreneurs and business leaders how to

Howard Brown: 00:02:17

Howard Brown: 00:02:20

locked within themselves to create better lives and

Howard Brown: 00:02:22

businesses on their terms. Why? Wow, just a while you're I'm so

Howard Brown: 00:02:28

happy to have you here. But I want to take a little curveball

Howard Brown: 00:02:31

and tell us something people may not know about you. You'd like

Howard Brown: 00:02:34

to share.

Diane Armitage: 00:02:35

Oh, right off the start. Yes. Start what most

Diane Armitage: 00:02:39

people don't know about me, I I protect when I moved out to

Diane Armitage: 00:02:46

California I got involved in outrigger, which was a big deal

Diane Armitage: 00:02:48

for me, because previously I had lived in Denver and the biggest

Diane Armitage: 00:02:51

body of water I knew was my bathtub. And I became a top

Diane Armitage: 00:02:55

paddler in the state and actually paddled all over the

Diane Armitage: 00:02:59

country and in different countries for many, many years.

Diane Armitage: 00:03:03

cabling is that Hawaiian boat, you know, with the big armor

Diane Armitage: 00:03:06

like Wi Fi bow. Yeah, it was.

Howard Brown: 00:03:08

And that's a team sport. You're huffing and you

Howard Brown: 00:03:10

got to be in rhythm.

Diane Armitage: 00:03:11

Yes, you do. You got to be in rhythm.

Howard Brown: 00:03:14

You got to be in rhythm with your fellow and

Howard Brown: 00:03:16

women and men paddlers. There's really good rafting in Denver,

Howard Brown: 00:03:21

this water, there's the Colorado.

Diane Armitage: 00:03:24

Yeah, let's try other things.

Howard Brown: 00:03:26

It's good. So I'd like you to share just a little

Howard Brown: 00:03:28

bit about your background and where you know, kind of short,

Howard Brown: 00:03:31

you know how you came through, and then how you met Bob. And

Howard Brown: 00:03:33

that that story there is very impressive. Well,

Diane Armitage: 00:03:37

I had been climbing the corporate ladder.

Diane Armitage: 00:03:39

And interestingly, I had gotten all of my degrees in thinking

Diane Armitage: 00:03:43

that I was going to go into genetics research. And every

Diane Armitage: 00:03:46

time I tried to get a job in genetics research, they kept

Diane Armitage: 00:03:48

pushing me to the marketing department. And I was like, I'm

Diane Armitage: 00:03:51

a writer. Yes, but that's just the hobby. But once I finally

Diane Armitage: 00:03:54

gave in to the thing that I was put on the planet to do, I

Diane Armitage: 00:03:59

started theirs, and then I moved to corporate marketing. And I

Diane Armitage: 00:04:03

was at REMAX International. And at one point, I was assigned a

Diane Armitage: 00:04:07

task at the convention to escort the keynote speaker from his

Diane Armitage: 00:04:11

keynote to his workshop, and it was Bob. And so after his

Diane Armitage: 00:04:16

amazing keynote, which was mind blowing, I was walking him

Diane Armitage: 00:04:19

through the hall at the convention center, and I said,

Diane Armitage: 00:04:22

you know, I'm thinking of starting my own freelance

Diane Armitage: 00:04:23

writing company. And I had not even said that to myself. And he

Diane Armitage: 00:04:27

turned and he looked at me and he said, Well, he said, You're

Diane Armitage: 00:04:30

so right brain, there's no left in you. He said, You got to do

Diane Armitage: 00:04:33

it. And then he started walking away to his workshop. And I

Diane Armitage: 00:04:36

followed after him. Well, he came back after the workshop,

Diane Armitage: 00:04:39

and he said, Well, what did you decide to do? And I said, I'm

Diane Armitage: 00:04:41

going to do it, but then I didn't do it. So he and I met a

Diane Armitage: 00:04:46

few times for lunch. Over the course of the next year, I lived

Diane Armitage: 00:04:49

in Denver. He was in Toronto, but he was doing training at the

Diane Armitage: 00:04:52

Denver headquarters for REMAX. And he got me past what I call

Diane Armitage: 00:04:57

the terror barrier. And so The day that I started my brand new

Diane Armitage: 00:05:02

company, I flew to Toronto, to meet with Craig proctor who was

Diane Armitage: 00:05:06

not related to Bob, but a huge real estate agent. And I signed

Diane Armitage: 00:05:09

a contract with him. And then the next morning, he was

Diane Armitage: 00:05:12

beginning to train people in his in a seminar about how to become

Diane Armitage: 00:05:16

a real estate agent like he was, and in walk Bob Proctor. And he

Diane Armitage: 00:05:20

said, What are you doing here? And I said, Well, I quit, I

Diane Armitage: 00:05:23

started and, you know, Craig's my first client, and he said,

Diane Armitage: 00:05:26

Well, I'd like to be your second client. And from that, it was 27

Diane Armitage: 00:05:30

years of riding with him and talking with him, pretty much

Diane Armitage: 00:05:35

daily. It was an amazing it, everything in my life

Diane Armitage: 00:05:39

transformed in a matter of months. And then it just kept

Diane Armitage: 00:05:42

getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Howard Brown: 00:05:46

So I have just, once you like, you got up close

Howard Brown: 00:05:51

and personal. You spent so much time what is Bob Proctor life?

Howard Brown: 00:05:55

Well, he's really

Diane Armitage: 00:05:56

funny. And he's very generous, and he was very

Diane Armitage: 00:06:01

ride with me, you know, I would go through these fearful moments

Diane Armitage: 00:06:06

of getting ready to leap into something, and then I'd always

Diane Armitage: 00:06:08

have to call Bob and he'd have to take me by the hand. But you

Diane Armitage: 00:06:11

know, he, he was carrying to the very soul of his being, he was a

Diane Armitage: 00:06:16

very, very dear friend, he was a father figure, really. And I

Diane Armitage: 00:06:20

told a story just recently about the day he had to pull me out

Diane Armitage: 00:06:23

from under the bed, when my heart was broken. He's just, he

Diane Armitage: 00:06:27

was so kind to me, and such a loving person. And so, but he

Diane Armitage: 00:06:34

believed in me and my skills, and the ability that he and the

Diane Armitage: 00:06:38

fact that he and I were supposed to work together, he believed

Diane Armitage: 00:06:42

that we had found each other on purpose for purpose. And he was

Diane Armitage: 00:06:46

just always there always creative, so much fun. You know,

Diane Armitage: 00:06:50

he was always coming out with different angles and out of the

Diane Armitage: 00:06:53

box, and it really taught me to do the same with my clients is

Diane Armitage: 00:06:57

so much, it's just so much fun.

Howard Brown: 00:07:00

So that leads into almost morning coffees with Bob,

Howard Brown: 00:07:06

man, you still do it, even though he's passed, so told me

Howard Brown: 00:07:08

about when he was around, and I'm telling you ask because I

Howard Brown: 00:07:11

find that fascinating.

Diane Armitage: 00:07:13

Well, we would regularly meet in the mornings,

Diane Armitage: 00:07:16

and he would have his coffee in Toronto, and I would have my

Diane Armitage: 00:07:18

coffee here. And of course, we were three hours difference. And

Diane Armitage: 00:07:22

that would always make him crazy, because like, isn't she

Diane Armitage: 00:07:24

up yet? But, you know, so we would get together. And that's

Diane Armitage: 00:07:28

when we would do our brainstorming, we'd work on

Diane Armitage: 00:07:30

projects, you know, we we'd end up talking through my life. He

Diane Armitage: 00:07:34

talked me through outrigger issues, you know, all that kind

Diane Armitage: 00:07:37

of thing. And so after he passed, I, I knew that he was

Diane Armitage: 00:07:41

still with me, because there were signs, there were big signs

Diane Armitage: 00:07:45

immediately. And, and I don't believe that he has, that he has

Diane Armitage: 00:07:50

really left. I think that he left our dimension. But I

Diane Armitage: 00:07:53

believe that he chose another dimension to help at a bigger

Diane Armitage: 00:07:55

level. And so I thought, you know, why don't we just keep

Diane Armitage: 00:07:58

doing coffee. So every morning, I pour him a cup of coffee, I

Diane Armitage: 00:08:01

pour myself a cup of coffee, we sit at my, you know, kitchen

Diane Armitage: 00:08:05

table. And we talk and we write and we you know, brainstorm? I

Diane Armitage: 00:08:11

know. It sounds kind of crazy.

Howard Brown: 00:08:13

Just it's incredible. Yeah. But this is

Howard Brown: 00:08:16

before zoom, this is on a phone, right? This is just on a phone.

Diane Armitage: 00:08:19

Yeah. Well, you mean now that he's powerful for

Diane Armitage: 00:08:23

before? Yes, yeah, we would just get on the phone and put it on

Diane Armitage: 00:08:25

speaker and chat with each other. Yeah. Okay.

Howard Brown: 00:08:28

And now you still do this? I

Diane Armitage: 00:08:31

do. You know, some people were like, well,

Diane Armitage: 00:08:32

it's probably just, you know, you worked with him for so long.

Diane Armitage: 00:08:35

He's just in your head. But I don't really believe that I

Diane Armitage: 00:08:37

really believe that he is still helping and guiding. And, you

Diane Armitage: 00:08:41

know, being my writer, part writing partner, I've actually

Diane Armitage: 00:08:44

been writing more and stronger than I ever have. And I just

Diane Armitage: 00:08:49

know that I'm getting help.

Howard Brown: 00:08:52

It's, it's such an impact he's had on you, and

Howard Brown: 00:08:57

you've now had on others. And that's, you know, I did a little

Howard Brown: 00:09:01

bit of thinking that he really is embrace positive thinking.

Howard Brown: 00:09:07

And that how it actually opens yourself up. And you even talked

Howard Brown: 00:09:11

about this terror barrier. Can you expand a little bit on that?

Howard Brown: 00:09:14

Do we kind of just sell ourselves short? No, here we

Howard Brown: 00:09:17

kind of stopped before we actually even get started most

Howard Brown: 00:09:20

of the time. Yeah. Well,

Diane Armitage: 00:09:22

you know, one of the things that I always tell my

Diane Armitage: 00:09:24

clients is that it's time to stop thinking someone else's

Diane Armitage: 00:09:27

think. And this is where Bob really branched away from

Diane Armitage: 00:09:32

positive thinking. Because positive thinking will only get

Diane Armitage: 00:09:35

you so far, because you've got these grooved patterns of

Diane Armitage: 00:09:39

thought, habitual grooves in your mind, these paradigms that

Diane Armitage: 00:09:43

are usually other people's thoughts that had been deposited

Diane Armitage: 00:09:47

into your mind. And so when you begin to recognize that you

Diane Armitage: 00:09:50

begin to think, you know, why am I doing this? Why am I climbing

Diane Armitage: 00:09:53

this corporate ladder? Why am I staying in this relationship?

Diane Armitage: 00:09:56

Why am I doing all of this? You're doing it because for the

Diane Armitage: 00:09:58

most part, you been trained to think a certain way according to

Diane Armitage: 00:10:02

how other people thought around you starting from early

Diane Armitage: 00:10:05

childhood. And so when you think about it, that way, you begin to

Diane Armitage: 00:10:09

understand that you have power, that you have the power to

Diane Armitage: 00:10:12

change the way you think. Right, and especially now the way the

Diane Armitage: 00:10:16

whole world is all wadded up, and everyone is blaming outside

Diane Armitage: 00:10:20

circumstances for what's going on in their world, when you

Diane Armitage: 00:10:22

begin to take responsibility for that. And when you begin to

Diane Armitage: 00:10:25

understand how much power you have to create your own cause

Diane Armitage: 00:10:30

and effect, then everything begins to change.

Howard Brown: 00:10:36

Is this what you guys or you call the this Berlin

Howard Brown: 00:10:40

wall of your mind

Diane Armitage: 00:10:41

is, so to go back to the terror barrier?

Diane Armitage: 00:10:46

Well, let me talk about the Berlin wall first. So when I

Diane Armitage: 00:10:49

talk about the Berlin Wall, what I mean by that is that, you

Diane Armitage: 00:10:53

know, when they started building the Berlin Wall, it was just

Diane Armitage: 00:10:55

like little bits of barbed wire, and no one could really figure

Diane Armitage: 00:10:57

out what was going on. And then it got to be a little bit bigger

Diane Armitage: 00:11:00

barbed wire, and then it got to be rocks and stones, and then it

Diane Armitage: 00:11:03

got to be all and then it became this giant thing that just ran

Diane Armitage: 00:11:07

for miles that no one could get across. And sometimes this is

Diane Armitage: 00:11:11

how you have to think about your paradigms that come up in your

Diane Armitage: 00:11:13

world, because, you know, they initially start as this little

Diane Armitage: 00:11:17

barbed wire stuff in your head. And it could be the limitation,

Diane Armitage: 00:11:19

it could be that you're not that smart, you're not that pretty,

Diane Armitage: 00:11:22

you don't belong to that group, you're not going to be born with

Diane Armitage: 00:11:25

a silver spoon in your mouth. So you're never going to be

Diane Armitage: 00:11:27

wealthy. All of these thoughts that come up, are these Berlin

Diane Armitage: 00:11:30

Wall thoughts, but they're not necessarily yours, they're being

Diane Armitage: 00:11:34

built by somebody else. And as they are being built by somebody

Diane Armitage: 00:11:38

else, in your own mind, they become so powerful, that they

Diane Armitage: 00:11:41

begin to run your life, they run your life for miles all the way

Diane Armitage: 00:11:44

around your life. And so when you think about taking over that

Diane Armitage: 00:11:49

control, then you begin to dismantle the Berlin wall of

Diane Armitage: 00:11:53

your own mind. Now, when you are beginning that process, this is

Diane Armitage: 00:11:58

where terror barriers come into play. Because terror barriers

Diane Armitage: 00:12:01

are when you're like, I could do it, I could do it. I'm thinking,

Diane Armitage: 00:12:05

right, I'm doing right, everything is great. And then

Diane Armitage: 00:12:08

you're like, you know, you're like, Okay, wait a minute, this

Diane Armitage: 00:12:12

is crazy. And this is your paradigm that's putting up the

Diane Armitage: 00:12:16

fight because it wants you to stay status quo. And so I teach

Diane Armitage: 00:12:21

people how to get past that terror barrier. Because once you

Diane Armitage: 00:12:24

get through the terror barrier to the other side, you realize

Diane Armitage: 00:12:27

it wasn't that big of a thing, after all. But every single time

Diane Armitage: 00:12:31

you take on a new movement in your world, every single time

Diane Armitage: 00:12:34

you take on a new goal, you are going to go through some level

Diane Armitage: 00:12:38

of a terror barrier. And a lot of times I tell people remember

Diane Armitage: 00:12:42

what it was like before, when you had to get this done, you

Diane Armitage: 00:12:45

had to achieve this, you had this goal, you've been through

Diane Armitage: 00:12:48

these terror barriers before, they look really big, they used

Diane Armitage: 00:12:51

to then to but now you look back at them, and they were nothing.

Diane Armitage: 00:12:55

So it's a matter of, you know, understanding how powerful you

Diane Armitage: 00:12:59

are once again, and moving yourself through those tariff

Diane Armitage: 00:13:02

barriers.

Howard Brown: 00:13:03

Well, I remember the, the Wall coming down, it

Howard Brown: 00:13:06

was all graffiti, but it came down one brick at a time, and

Howard Brown: 00:13:10

that it didn't all come down in this major, you know, implosion

Howard Brown: 00:13:13

of a building that came down bricks at a time. And I'd like

Howard Brown: 00:13:17

to say that, you know, we all get knocked down in life and in

Howard Brown: 00:13:21

business and in health, in my case, and, and lots of little

Howard Brown: 00:13:25

knock downs, but the big ones was health for me, and then in

Howard Brown: 00:13:28

relationships, and we have to get back up again. But you got

Howard Brown: 00:13:33

to take that first step. Sometimes it's two steps back,

Howard Brown: 00:13:35

sometimes it's a detour, sometimes it's a U turn. But you

Howard Brown: 00:13:38

do have to do that. And we just create this, the these walls and

Howard Brown: 00:13:44

these barriers for us to actually go forward. And I love

Howard Brown: 00:13:48

the fact that, that that's what we're trying to do. And that's

Howard Brown: 00:13:51

where a lot of your teaching and from lessons from Bob also take

Howard Brown: 00:13:54

people that way. Because there are so many people that are

Howard Brown: 00:13:58

stuck out there. The pandemic didn't help isolation didn't

Howard Brown: 00:14:03

help. We live in a digital five second society doesn't help.

Howard Brown: 00:14:07

Right? So there's a lot of reasons to be able to just sit

Howard Brown: 00:14:12

sedentary and not make forward progress. In your life wheel and

Howard Brown: 00:14:19

your life wheel is everything a part of you could be life,

Howard Brown: 00:14:22

business, family, fitness, emotions, there's so many things

Howard Brown: 00:14:25

that you can, you know, move forward with. So I it's really

Howard Brown: 00:14:29

important to do that. Now. One of the things that you've had

Howard Brown: 00:14:33

some really success, but you're writing but you're also you do a

Howard Brown: 00:14:37

lot of other things, right. You actually have written books you

Howard Brown: 00:14:40

have the guide in Laguna, you teach classes. What do you want

Howard Brown: 00:14:46

to share with the audience? Well, the

Diane Armitage: 00:14:49

guide was sort of a hobby to get me away from

Diane Armitage: 00:14:52

my desk and into this beautiful town that I had chosen, which

Diane Armitage: 00:14:55

was also a dare from Bob to move into The terror barrier. But you

Diane Armitage: 00:15:02

know, I love teaching, I love teaching and speaking about this

Diane Armitage: 00:15:07

material, because the way it transformed my life is so

Diane Armitage: 00:15:13

phenomenal. And, and I want everyone to have that

Diane Armitage: 00:15:17

experience. And they can, because everybody is so

Diane Armitage: 00:15:21

powerful. And you forget how much power you have, how you

Diane Armitage: 00:15:25

landed on this planet with all this empowerment and all of this

Diane Armitage: 00:15:28

confidence, and it gets kind of chipped away. And when you begin

Diane Armitage: 00:15:32

to step back into that power, things really begin to change,

Diane Armitage: 00:15:35

you really understand you can create, whatever you choose to

Diane Armitage: 00:15:39

create. And that's not a pie in the sky kind of thing. Right?

Diane Armitage: 00:15:43

You chose to create health and life for yourself, right? You

Diane Armitage: 00:15:47

made that choice, you created that cause you created that

Diane Armitage: 00:15:50

reality. And so I love helping people through that I work with

Diane Armitage: 00:15:55

hundreds and hundreds of people right now. And the

Diane Armitage: 00:15:57

transformations in their lives is just so amazing. They just

Diane Armitage: 00:16:01

feel so much better about their lives because they're creating

Diane Armitage: 00:16:04

ripples for other people. Right? Because as soon as you begin to

Diane Armitage: 00:16:08

take on that empowerment, you begin to affect other people's

Diane Armitage: 00:16:10

lives as well. It's a beautiful thing.

Howard Brown: 00:16:14

It really is. So we had talked earlier, one of

Howard Brown: 00:16:17

our favorite movies is the matrix. So you help people

Howard Brown: 00:16:21

Escape the Matrix, correct?

Diane Armitage: 00:16:24

That is very well said, yes, yes. Because you

Diane Armitage: 00:16:28

know, I mean, we all kind of look at our lives sometimes. And

Diane Armitage: 00:16:31

just like Morpheus said, dineo, you feel like the world has been

Diane Armitage: 00:16:35

pulled over your eyes, you know, you've been blinded by this

Diane Armitage: 00:16:39

world. That's supposed to be your reality. But you feel that

Diane Armitage: 00:16:43

there's something more that you're something more. And that

Diane Armitage: 00:16:46

is exactly where your spirit is involved in kind of knocking at

Diane Armitage: 00:16:51

you saying, you know, you can go bigger, because you are bigger.

Diane Armitage: 00:16:56

And that's why I love talking about the matrix, because

Diane Armitage: 00:16:59

there's so much of it that syncs with exactly this kind of

Diane Armitage: 00:17:03

mindset, this kind of science of mind is what we call it,

Howard Brown: 00:17:08

we have to create our own reality. And we really,

Howard Brown: 00:17:12

really do. So tell me a little bit about this class, you have a

Howard Brown: 00:17:17

new class that just came out. And it's the legendary spark.

Howard Brown: 00:17:23

Yeah, she's a little bit about that. Because I know I'm going

Howard Brown: 00:17:26

to share that with with the audience as well, because I want

Howard Brown: 00:17:28

people to know about it.

Diane Armitage: 00:17:30

Well, it's free, which is great. So So I wanted

Diane Armitage: 00:17:35

to put together you know, five, what I would call ninja

Diane Armitage: 00:17:39

strategy. Jedi master mind thinks strategies, that are some

Diane Armitage: 00:17:43

of my my biggest courses that are modules, teaching modules,

Diane Armitage: 00:17:47

so to speak, of really helping people learn how to think

Diane Armitage: 00:17:50

bigger, and then act on that think. Right? So we start

Diane Armitage: 00:17:55

talking about, you know, how people set goals. And in most

Diane Armitage: 00:17:58

cases, they set goals that they know they can achieve if they

Diane Armitage: 00:18:01

even set goals at all. Well, why live that life? Let's move it up

Diane Armitage: 00:18:05

a many, many notches. And then let's figure out how to make

Diane Armitage: 00:18:08

this thing happen. Because once you begin to really put yourself

Diane Armitage: 00:18:13

into the what would I love place in your life? That's where you

Diane Armitage: 00:18:18

deserve to live. And so this five piece module, legendary

Diane Armitage: 00:18:23

spark really begins that spark to really get you thinking and

Diane Armitage: 00:18:27

moving in bigger thinking and bigger empowerment ways.

Howard Brown: 00:18:34

It does I would Bob Proctor say we would he be

Howard Brown: 00:18:37

shining brightly with us. If you were here, what would he say to

Howard Brown: 00:18:40

us?

Diane Armitage: 00:18:41

Well, he is here.

Howard Brown: 00:18:43

I know. But in Spirit is with you. I would be

Howard Brown: 00:18:47

meeting him for the first time.

Diane Armitage: 00:18:50

You know, as far as the one of the first things

Diane Armitage: 00:18:53

that Bob taught me was that I wasn't thinking big enough. And

Diane Armitage: 00:18:56

that I really could think much bigger and goal much bigger. And

Diane Armitage: 00:19:02

that's what I actually start with in this legendary Spark is

Diane Armitage: 00:19:05

the difference between what he used to say were a goals, B

Diane Armitage: 00:19:08

goals, or a C goals. And, and when you when you move into the

Diane Armitage: 00:19:14

seagull realm, that thing that kind of gives you goose bumps

Diane Armitage: 00:19:17

that feels like a big whammy goal. That's when you know,

Diane Armitage: 00:19:21

you've moved into the place that you can really live and be in.

Diane Armitage: 00:19:26

That's when you know, because you won't think it unless you

Diane Armitage: 00:19:30

can achieve it. This is what he always used to tell me. You

Diane Armitage: 00:19:34

can't even dream it. If you can't achieve it. It wouldn't be

Diane Armitage: 00:19:38

possible. So that's where we start is really figuring out

Diane Armitage: 00:19:43

where people normally make the safe goals happen versus the big

Diane Armitage: 00:19:47

whammy goals that could really transform and change their

Diane Armitage: 00:19:50

lives. And they're afraid to go there. But once you start

Diane Armitage: 00:19:55

stepping into who you really are remembering who you are, then

Diane Armitage: 00:19:59

And you begin to take the steps. And that's what this whole

Diane Armitage: 00:20:03

legendary Spark is about. So I think he would like it a lot.

Howard Brown: 00:20:07

I think so too. Well, I have to tell you, the

Howard Brown: 00:20:10

show is quick, we hit it hard. And you just were teasing

Howard Brown: 00:20:14

everybody. Because there's so much more to Diane, to you and

Howard Brown: 00:20:17

to your teachings into the time you spent with Bob Proctor. So

Howard Brown: 00:20:22

they're gonna have to come find you. That's the point of all

Howard Brown: 00:20:24

this, they will. And we'll make sure that they can't. So I'm

Howard Brown: 00:20:26

going to have you put on your sunglasses right now. Oh, we are

Howard Brown: 00:20:29

going to shy so brightly that Bob is going to know we are

Howard Brown: 00:20:33

talking about him and hurt us. So we are shining together to

Howard Brown: 00:20:38

communicate his message and your message across the globe. And so

Howard Brown: 00:20:43

tell people how the best way to get in touch with you, and then

Howard Brown: 00:20:47

share a little inspiration to close up the show.
