Jack Canfield at One of Our Events? Maybe Someday...

April 15th will go down in my history books as a day to remember - it was the day that I was able to cross off another one of my life goals: meeting Jack Canfield (http://www.jackcanfield.com/), author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, contributor to The Secret, and world class speaker, in person. The all day seminar event took place in Caledon, Ontario and was hosted by The Phenomenal View (http://www.phenomenalview.com).

Jack is who I want to be when I grow up - smart, funny, compassionate, humble, gracious, and rich :). He spent the day teaching the intimate audience of about 250 people from his book The Success Principles, and reminded us that often getting what we want is as simple as asking for it. So does that mean that someday we could have Jack Canfield keynote a CAASP Conference? Why not!
