Hi Ed: I am so happy to have been lucky enough to see you at the Atlantis at the GIN conference. My husband had belonged to GIN for about two years and I thought he was nuts. He asked me to keep an open mind and go to the conference with him. He said if I didn’t like it he would quit and stop spending money on membership and cd’s. Unfortunately, he hurt his back and ended up in a wheel chair and in a great deal of pain so I decided to go to the meeting by myself and you were the guest speaker. I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason. I came out of that meeting so revitalized and feeling so good that I told my husband that I was hooked and wanted him to continue with GIN. I love being a member of GIN and I just wanted you to know that your unbelievable, uplifting seminar is what convinced me that this was going to be great for us. Thank you for being you and sharing your energy with me. I am a happier person and am working on feeling better and better everyday. You are an inspiration.
I first heard Ed at a Toastmasters conference in Dallas 1992 at the Lowes Anatole hotel.
bought a selection of his cassette tapes and still listen to them. would appreciate a catalogue of that material in cd and dvd format. we also met Zig Ziglar at that time, sadly Zig is no longer with us. All these Stars are a God send and I’m so gratefull that I have met encourages like Norman V Peal, Og Mandino, Ken Blanchard, Harvey Macay, Les Brown, Jim Rohn and others. keep up the good work Ed.
