Pat:  Hi, it’s Pat Mussieux coming to you live from the beautiful Idlewyld Inn, here in the heart of London, Ontario, Canada.

I’m doing this Facebook live today because I’ve got some special guests with me, but let me position this for you first. I’m doing this because we are here under the umbrella of what I’ve called the Circle of Influence Mastermind. Many of you have heard me talk about this concept before, and I’m also, at the same time, teaching a little bit about doing a Facebook Live, so we can see people coming on and joining in here, so I’m just going to be hitting the “Add” buttons while you come to me.

All right, so we’re talking about the circle of influence. The reason being, as I keep saying and reminding you, is that we, as entrepreneurs in particular, become the average of the five people we spend time with, and as business owners we earn the average of the five people that we spend time with. My point, in this mastermind, was to do a private, by invitation only, to certain high-achieving, fun entrepreneurs to come behind closed doors and talk about ways, means, strategies, and a plan to transform your life, to transform your health, to transform your business. So I thought it would be kind of fun for you to hear from them and to hear what they’ve learned, what they’re taking away, and for them to experience this Facebook Live with me, so I’m going to get them to just introduce themselves, so my hand will stop shaking, and you can get to meet some of these great people I’m spending time with, while I keep adding the button here.

I’ve never seen that “Add” button on Facebook Live before, so bear with me. That’s the thing about Facebook Live, you just kind of go along and do what you’re doing.

Hey Chaun, good to have you here. Who are you and why are you here?

Chaun:  Today, I’m really looking at how to make things even better. The business has been good moving into 2018, but talking to you over the last few months, I’ve seen some opportunity to grow. The exercise over the last couple of days of taking those 50 goals and then refining it down to a few, and then moving those into another category, has been very effective. I could see how, as soon as I leave here today, tonight I’m going to be working away at those, and I look forward to working with you, Pat.

Pat:  Music to my ears. Thanks, Chaun. Let’s meet someone else here. Where are we? Come on you guys. Anyone who knows me knows who this is.

Victoria:  Hello, I’m Victoria. My clear intention to coming here was about expanding my circle of influence, so thank you, Pat, because I’ve now been introduced to several people, but five of which who I didn’t know before, and one even from California, my new friend from California, so it’s amazing coming in here behind closed doors. My intention in my business this year was to simplify, and I’m now leaving with ways and strategies to both expand my business and simplify it at the same time, by by having clarity and focus, and staying queued on three things to get me there. That’s it for me.

Pat:  Sweet. How fun was that? So, here comes Miss California. This is my buddy Linda. Again, if you’re following me, Linda and I were in Argentina last year for a month. It was absolutely awesome, and now she has come up to my world. She came to learn cross-country skiing, but there’s no snow, so she came into the mastermind. How cool.

Linda:  So yes, I came up specifically because Pat is one of my circle of five, circle of influencers, and I wanted to let you know that you don’t have to do local only. You can go anywhere in the world and hook up with your circle of five people. Anybody that you are enjoying having the influence of them in your life, in your business, go where they are, have them come where you are, go exciting places together.

Pat:  Like where, maybe?

Linda:  Maybe like Lisbon, Portugal in May.

Pat:  Yes, how would we do that?

Linda:  You would go to http://adventurouslife.io

Pat:  Yes, and we’ll put we’ll put the link below here, so for any of you who are interested in having the adventures that we’ve had on the road in Rome, Buenos Aires, and different places, watch. We’ll post the link here. Then go to the website and connect with Linda because the world is waiting for you.

Linda:  Yes, absolutely.

Pat:  Yes, thanks Linda. Coming up next.

Debbie:  Hi, I’m Debbie Rigby. I came here to meet some influencers. I’ve read about Pat for a long time, attended one of her meetings here at Idlewyld, and I really wanted to work on processes I could implement in my business that would help simplify and understand how to move forward in areas of my life and areas of business, and I’ve certainly learned two or three things at a time; break it down, make it simple, baby steps, and I’ve been thrilled with all of the women I’ve met here today. It has been fabulous.

Pat:   And have fun too.

Debbie:  And have fun too, and good food too.

Pat:  And that’s important in learning. We’re laughing about it and we can joke about it, but seriously, if you’re not having fun, you’re not eating good food in beautiful places, like the Inn, you need to shake up your life a little bit. Give me a call. I’ll help you with that. All right, so another person who’s with me today, for those of you who live in the area, you might recognize Sue, who was on my TV show just recently, last month or so. Sue has joined us. She has such a great story.

Sue:  I’m from St. Mary’s, and I like to empower women who want a non-traditional business where they can control their income, their ability, flexibility of time, and they are not working for a multi-level marketing company, they are actually working for themselves, and this is done through candles and soap making, but it fits into their lives, and however they take it from there is up to them.

Pat:  So why’d you come here? What did you get?

Sue:  I need clarity. I’m going in a thousand directions because I have so much opportunity with my business, and I needed to really drill it into and get focused on who I really want to help.

Pat:  Yes, mission accomplished, right?

Sue:  Mission accomplished.

Pat:  She is so fun to be with, seriously. Thanks, Sue. So, any of you in the St. Mary’s area, you want to go to her store, Village Craft and Candle in St. Mary’s. It’s absolutely mind-boggling. She’s a true success story. Go online on YouTube and you can look for Rogers TV London, The Wealthy Women Leaders show, which is mine, and you can see her full interview. It’s quite the story.

Here’s the deal. Here’s why we’re doing this today. First of all, I wanted to share the Idlewyld Inn with you, because it’s absolutely a gorgeous place, beautiful old inn in the heart of London. I’ll just show you around here. We love it, and so we’re in one of the meeting rooms, through the doors there, and as I mentioned to you, this was a private mastermind by invitation only. My choice, because I only want to hang around with certain people these days, and so we did talk about the circle of influence, but the approach I took this time was the fact that you really need to focus on your health first. As business owners, were stretched, were overwhelmed, we need more sleep. It’s just a really big undertaking to run your own business, and my focus now is on health and wellness, so we talked about that as a priority. It takes a lot of energy to reach your goals.

Then we moved on in and talked about creating your best life because, quite frankly, I think many of you have it backwards. You have the cart before the horse. The business has overtaken everything, and therefore, you’re running around mean, tired, and ugly. So we talked about life first, health, and then the focus on the business. If you want more information about that, reach out to me. Send me a private message. I’ll be happy to tell you more, and otherwise, I’m going back in the room. Thanks for being with us. See you next time.
