New Wealth Sure Ain’t “New Money”
There is a virtual extravaganza going on in November on the topic of New Wealth. I really want to make sure you know what’s going on and that if it resonates with you, you’re following your nudge to sign up and not sabotaging this incredible opportunity. (I know how easy it is to push something away that you know inside will be beneficial.)
If you’re not familiar with the term New Wealth, let me tell you what it’s NOT. It’s not the ego-driven materialism, do-anything-to-make-a-buck wealth of the 80s and 90s. New Wealth could not be more opposite of the stereotype of the New Money individual, who derives his or her self-esteem through accumulating prosperity and possessions.
This event is a meeting of some of the greatest minds in personal growth. And it’s FREE! The best part is it’s all about how you can create the life you truly want by being YOU. (If you don’t want to read to the bottom, check it out here.) By the way, there is nothing wrong with being wealthy! Go for it — just see it for what it is. Enjoy it, let it provide you with experiences and security. Let it help you give to others on a larger scale. And acquire it by being YOU, not by pretending you’re someone you’re not so you can have an experience you think will make you “happy.”
My friend Jen Blackert is running this event, and has spent months hand-picking speakers. What she has put together has really blown me away. (Way to go Jen, if you’re reading this!) She’s gathering people like John Assaraf, Marci Shimoff, T. Harv Eker, Janet Attwood, Guy Finley, Mariel Hemingway, and more.
Before the economy dipped, events like this were only available in person, and that meant paying an entry fee (usually in the thousands of dollars), plus your travel and accommodations expenses. All of these speakers would be packed into a two- or three-day event, and in order to experience it all, you would be going strong from 8 am to 11 pm and by the time it was over, your head would be spinning from information overload.
The great BLESSING of the economy is that it brought people the idea of doing online events of this caliber. This way, they can be provided to you free, and the speakers can be spread out over the course of several weeks so you can absorb these amazing teaching in bite-size portions.
If you haven’t already, I STRONGLY encourage you to register for this online event.
Have a great week!

Elizabeth,
Thank you for the information about our event. Its not about money or ‘making’ money. It is truly about finding your purpose and giving your gifts to the world. If you have that then you have in our opinion wealth. We got this from one of our students today:
“Darius,
This new wealth experience has been amazing and life changing and it is the first week. The future is brighter because of your vision.
I want to be specific as to what has been transformational for me. When I listened to the introduction from you I was sold. Your message of giving and contributing was so heart felt that I could sense your warmth and desire to help others. It felt like it was coming from a place of sincerity and not greed.
When I heard your story of being left back in kindergarten and how it shaped you I realized I had a similar experience. Mine was I was told I had a high IQ and it made me feel so much was expected of me. I skipped 8th grade math and was in algebra in 8th grade with all the smart kids. I felt like I had to keep up with them or I would have no identity. I was not athletic and this gave me a peer group. I paid a great price to belong. Where other kids were having fun I was always studying to get my straight A’s. When I was in college I could not wait to graduate because I hated the pressure of having to get A’s. I love to learn but learning was painful because of the pressure. I did not take chemistry in high school because I did not think I could get an A. My grades were my money and my way to become wealthy. I had to struggle to get an A and I have had to struggle to make money think I see a pattern. I have no love for what I do and it is not me.
I internalized I had to be smart even though in my body I was in pain. This is the first thing I learned that when you allow other people to define you, you give your power away, thus not being true to who you really are. I remember getting one of my first B’s in grad school and I felt so happy that I got a B and it did not effect how I felt about myself. The power and control of the need for an A was gone. I realized the A’s did not buy be a great career, love or friends. They bought me loneliness and a lost childhood and not spending time with friends and family. I paid to high a price for an false identity.
The second thing I learned was with the interview with Dr. Simon when he talked about the way we take in the pain of an experience and it becomes our identity. When we have an experience and we react in a way that we try to numb the pain or react in a way which changes how we see the world we give our power away to the experience and we generalize it and we become our pain. We actually relive it as it becomes who we are. He put it much better but once I heard that I knew I had the power to change my reality if I could change what I felt inside and how I react.
The short version is
You body wants to be happy and full of joy. If what you are experiencing is something other than that, you need to align your life with love and forgive the people who caused you to feel the pain so you do not have to relive it.
I am so grateful to you and Jen.”
Hi Darius, I totally agree … and the program is such a great resource. I’m sure you’re getting tons of email from people having similar breakthroughs.
I will tell you that I didn’t feel very wealthy living a life I loved, in a fulfilling, purposeful career, and meanwhile having my gas shut off. I was giving, I was living authentically and purposefully, but something was messed up inside. Your program is so great in helping people discover what needs to shift in a case like that.
Looking forward to the DeMartini interview very much! My friend went to his Breakthrough Experience weekend recently and learned an awful lot about true happiness.
