In The Year 1997
October 27, 2005

Hi Guys...

I want to share an interesting personal story today with you. It happened to me just today.

You know how they say everything happens for a reason... Well I think my fellow warriors will be inspired by this post.

I have always looked backed in my life and said "What if?..."

What if I did not take that job interview?
What if I did not answer that call?
What if I would have called in sick that say when I did not feel well?

And you look back at the crucial point and realize, you may never have gotten where you are if you made a different choice that day.

You may not have gotten married or met the special someone. Or you may not have the wonderful kids you have now, IF you did something different one day.

I, as many of you know, love the whole theory of the BUTTERFLY EFFECT.

SO much so, I call what I do Butterfly Marketing. It is about the small changes today that can have a dramatic effect offer time. (Good or Bad.)

Now... For my Story...

In 1997, I was a Finance Manager (F&I) for a Ford Dealership in N.Y.

I was sent to Phoenix Arizona for an F&I training 3 day workshop. I met some great friends over those 3 days.

One was a guy named Vic. Man, we had a blast and hung out for all 3 days and we even went on a Jeep Dessert tour. I got attacked, YES attacked by a Teddy Bear Cactus. (You had to be there.) But it made memories that will last a life time for me and Vic.

We had a blast! We thought that we had made a friendship that would last a life time. But I only knew him as Vic, and when I got out of the car business, we lost touch. We did not speak for over 8 years, but when I think of Phoenix, I always thought of Vic...

We went our separate ways, and it was likely, since I was out of the business, we would never meet again...

FAST FORWARD EIGHT YEARS LATER...

Vic also left the car business to pursue his dreams in real estate and Hypnosis.

He found a friend making money online and he got a BUG UP HIS BUTT to do the same thing. He stumbled on a site that had an interview with RUSSELL BRUNSON and MIKE FILSAIME.

He did not remember my last name at all either. But in the interview, he heard that this guy Mike Said, "I am from NY and I was in the car business for 14 years."

He said, "hmmm.. no way in HELL it is the same guy." He went to my site at MikeFilsaime.com and saw my picture. But it is 8 years later, (and thousands of hairs missing from my head) so he was not sure if the guy in the Pic was the same "Mike" he met in Arizona 8 years ago.

But, he decided to send an email to this "Mike Filsaime" guy to see if by some .01% chance it was a miracle that it would be the same guy he met, for 3 only days and nearly 8 years ago, that bonded with him so well.

HERE IS THE EMAIL HE SENT TO ME

=====================================================
Subject: Can I leave a message for Mike?

Hi my name is Vic Maranto

I was listening to a recording with Mike
on it and he said he was an ex-Car Salesman.

I am an Ex-Car Salesman too and I met a
"Mike" from New York in 1997 in Phoenix
Arizona at a Ford F& I Training. I was with
him on a desert 4x4 Jeep excursion and he
accidentally touched a Teddy Bear Cactus.

We hung out that week and I was wondering
if this is the same Mike? I would like to
get in touch with him if it is him. I would
appreciate it if you could pass this along
to Mike.

Thanks for your time,

Vic Maranto
=====================================================

So I got that email and got Chills, literally goose bumps.

I emailed him back with my number.

OMG, it was the same guy I met nearly 8 years ago. We just spoke for about 1 hour on the phone and we did not want to hang up. So much stuff we could talk about. The time we met and had so much fun, the car business, online marketing, etc...

It made us both think, there were Eight Jeeps on the tour, but for some reason, we both got in the same Jeep and sat next to each other.

There were over 300 people at that training event, but by chance, we met and became friends. And by some other fluke of nature, we had a chance to re-unite.

We spoke on the phone and we are now going to keep in touch for ever.

I recently posted about this in a Forum a few hours ago. But it got me thinking....

I will be speaking at the Focus 4 The Future Seminar in November and the event is affordable for anyone to come that has been waiting for the right price to come to an event.

What I ask is that you come to this event and put in place changes in your life that will forever change your future.

I would like to invite you to this event so we can meet and hopefully we can build a friendship together and with others that will last a lifetime.

{FIRSTNAME}, there is a little butterfly on your shoulder right now. Will you make a choice today, right now, that will somehow change your  life forever?

Either choice you make, is still a choice, and your future... years from now can be traced back to the very choice you make today.

http://focus4thefuture.com/wso.htm

I hope to see you soon,

Mike Filsaime

PS - Oct 26th (Wed) was my birthday, and his call made my birthday special. (If you were wondering, I am 38)

PPS - This link I just gave you is a special to members only of the Private Warrior Forum. But I spoke to Robert Puddy, and he told me I could share the special Members Only Discount with my members.
