My Newest Venture : AwesomenessFest

Vishen Lakhiani — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:39:56 +0000

Given how popular our MindValley Team Retreats are turning out to be, I wanted to see if I could pull of something similar but on a larger scale. The end vision is AwesomenessFest. I'm going to bring 300 people to a beach in Costa Rica and organize a festival dedicated to personal growth, connecting and bonding.

The vision is to build the next TED style organizaiton. But combining it with fun, parties, and adventures in paradise locations. The idea is to connect high achieving individuals across different industries and teach them the skills to further magnify their impact.

Video below explains more.

A snippet from my speech at EngageToday 2010 in Calgary. Maybe admitting this in public was not wise?

10 Ways We Bring on the “Flow” at MindValley

Vishen Lakhiani — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 07:02:45 +0000

This is an extract from my speech at EngageToday 2009, where I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Richard Branson, The Dalai Lama, President FW De Klerk and many other brilliant thought leaders.

In this speech, I expand upon the concept of "Flow" and talk about how we use the concept of Consciousness Engineering to enhance the performance of my team at MindValley. It's based on two things: first giving people bold visions. Next, teaching people how to be 'Happy in the Now'. In this video I reveal 10 ways we do this at our company. This presentation was voted by the audience as one of the best presentations of the entire EngageToday 2009 event. Enjoy!

5 Minutes a Day to Awesomefy Your Life

On FinerMinds.com, my main blog dedicated to personal growth, I recently decided to experiment with video blog postings. In this one I got a little iPad crazy. Yup, that's me behind the mask.

On Necker Island with Richard Branson

Vishen Lakhiani — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:36:00 +0000

If you could meet anyone in the world and spend an entire day with them who would you choose?

My top three choices are:

Barack Obama
Richard Branson
it's a tie between Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and Natalie Portman (hey, I'm a guy)

So I was absolutely ecstatic to get a chance to spend 5 days on Richard Branson's Necker Island this May. And this wasn't your regular Necker Island stay. This private island owned by Branson gets visitors like Orlando Bloom, Mariah Carey, Bill Gates and more at a cost of $350,000 a week. (or roughly $50,000 a night). And that's just for a regular hotel-style stay with no guarantee of actually meeting Branson.

I got a chance to spend 5 days there with a group of entrepreneurs. With Branson present from breakfast to post-parties for 3 nights straight. It was an amazing time.

And finally, a video of the trip. Lovingly crafted from the footage on my Flipcam.
