BIG QUESTION: Do You Believe In Making A Positive Change?

Empty seats? Hell no. I took this shot the night before Dan Kennedy‘s 2011 Info Summit started. Let me tell you, this place was PACKED with eager, enthusiastic biz owners who wanted to make a difference.

Here’s an excerpt from an email I sent to my BDX team. Would love to know what you think,

“…I learned a lot this week in Atlanta at Info Summit. My brain is FULL! Also a great refresher and reminder of things I already knew but haven’t put into practice.

These next few months will be a challenge. I have a lot of work to do, a LOT of problem solving to do… but I’m extremely optimistic of the future. Not just mine, but YOURS too.


I quite enjoy learning exactly what to do from multi-millionaires with already successful businesses. I used to go away annually. It’s smart to only take advice from leaders with a proven track record. BTW: Coolest guy ever? James Malinchak. He was featured on last season of ABC’s “Secret Millionaire” and taught me some cool sh*t.

I was having chats with Bonnie last night. I let her know that what we do here isn’t just “dance classes.” There are so many other benefits of participating at BDX:

Providing social interaction – boosting confidence and self esteem – developing a positive mindset – rising to and overcoming challenges – helping peeps come out of their shell – empowerment – developing greater respect for others – exercise that provides people with a healthier life… this list goes on and on, and I’m not even talking about “dance.”

I believe in making a positive change in people’s lives. It’s not about fake, it’s not about bling, it’s not about shaking your ass like too many music videos tend to suggest. We can use dance to truly connect with people and raise personal and community standards.

Let me know what you think.”

  1. What do I think?

    I think this is absolutely true!
    I think more people should try a class
    I think people would be happier if they did
    I think I’m INCREDIBLY luck to be part the movement that BDX truly is
    I KNOW that I absolutely love it there!

  2. Incredibly said Shawn. Your classes do all of those things for people. Keep inspiring and creating a space for people to really just be themselves!

    You are amazing!
