This weekend the DaniJohnson.com crew and I were in Baltimore, Maryland with over 1,100 members of this awesome community for our live event First Steps to Success! I love that you are the type of person motivated to make change happen in your life.

Hearing your stories of success motivates me! Some of our community members have achieved so much just by plugging into the show, reading The Daily Fix or attending a live event.

But this event in Baltimore really reminded me of something. You see, sometimes people achieve a little success and then they think they’ve “made it” and quit plugging in. And often those people fail! They become unteachable again and it becomes their undoing!

The truth is, 98% of people graduate from high school, finish college and then they stop learning. They stop increasing their skills. But to become successful and continue to gain success, you have to keep increasing your skills and learning new things.

It’s why so many members of this community keep coming back to First Steps To Success every few months. A few weeks ago, I asked you a question on Facebook: Your number one reason to attend a live event. We received a LOT of answers, but I wanted to take a minute to share with you the top 5 answers everyone came up with.

1. Travel: Do you know the difference between looking at pictures of Spain and actually going there? There’s basically no comparison, right? Likewise, there is no comparison between reading a book or listening to the radio show and the full immersion experience of being at a live event. If you have a desire to see new cities, taste new restaurants and equip yourself with life-altering skill sets – there is no better excuse!
2. Community: The people you meet at a live event will totally change your life. They’ve changed mine! Our community is focused on bettering their lives, getting out of debt and living the life of their dreams. If you value strong, life-long relationships, a live event is the perfect place to forge those bonds and to improve your current relationships.
3. Family: A live event will not only change how you think, but it has a huge effect on your entire family. Your marriage will never be the same, your kids will be better-equipped to live financially independent lives. I promise, from experience and the stories I’ve heard again and again – your family will be happier and have less stress.
4. Financial: One of the biggest benefits to attending a live event is what it does for you financially. At First Steps To Success in Baltimore this past weekend there were 158 people who paid off a total of $10.4 million dollars in debt! Not to mention they’ve increased their incomes, started saving money and now have money to invest!
5. Change your life: These events are exclusively for people who are teachable and ready to change their lives for the better. To be honest, maybe a live event just isn’t for you. If that is how you feel, you don’t ever have to come to one.

What about you? If you are among those who have been to a live event, what is your favorite part? I know it’s hard to pick just one! Leave me your comments below and don’t forget to Like and Share today’s post. If you’ve never been, it’s time to decide if you are ready to step up and make a change in your life or to keep living the path you are on.

I’m excited to announce the next First Steps To Success will be in my own backyard! That’s right, we will be doing a 3-day event in San Antonio, Texas. I can’t wait for you guys to come see where I live. The Riverwalk, the Alamo and some gorgeous weather await! Grab your family and join us this July 12th-13th!

We will also be around this afternoon on The Dani Johnson Show at 12 pm ET/11 am ET. Come talk with us and start plugging into success.

In great faith,
