Never Work Again Interview with Adam Markel and Marcia Wieder!

When you're watching this. Well, actually, you should be watching this right this moment. This is a live hangout, and I'm Adam Markell. I am so happy to be with you this morning. As you can see, I got a little bit of energy going. It's just a beautiful day here in San Diego, and I get to hang out with a friend. That's always really neat. The cool part is that this is the latest technology to be able to hang out with people all around the world. The purpose of today's hangout is actually to talk about some incredible strategy for creating your dreams. Now, I don't know about you, but to me, if I could learn even one, one new strategy to create the life of my dreams, well, then it's worth the time. It's worth anything. Now I feel very blessed because as some of you know, before I became the CEO of Peak Potentials, I was a lawyer. I was a lawyer for 18 years, and not the happiest lawyer on the planet. That's a shock, right? An unhappy lawyer. Who'd have thunk it? But I really just wasn't living a life of fulfillment that pretty much it. My soul, as I look back now, my soul was pretty much. Pretty much shriveling up inside of me. And that doesn't feel great. But I was able to make some big changes in my life. Big changes that happened over a period of time. Not big changes happen overnight. Some of those changes began just by reading some great books, like Awaken the Giant Within, Tony Robbins, amazing book, Dr. Scott Peck's the Road Less Traveled. I'm looking up and asking for divine intervention because I'm going, you remember the book? Those books changed my life. And then I went to a seminar. Get this. I'm a kid from New York. I'm a lawyer. I've never been to a workshop in my life. My parents didn't do that kind of thing. Somebody drags me to a seminar, my life changed instantly in a weekend, in three days. And I won't get into the whole of it. Just let's say today I wake up and I feel so blessed in so many ways. I'm so grateful. And across the board. So, you know, they say, oh, you know, maybe you're happy, but, you know, how you doing financially? Well, you know, I'm doing really well, better than I was doing, but I have a lot more harmony and more peace, more balance in my life. Relationship with the most important person to me is my wife, and we're married 25 years. So that's Great. And all the transitions, all these things, we feel very, very blessed. I'm blessed today to bring another incredible example of living a very purposeful, dream driven life. I think I'm just making that term up right now. Dear friend who's been serving, writing best selling books, appearing on Oprah, training people, teaching people, calling people out on their shit, whatever it takes for many, many years. And some of you know this woman, you've seen her on TV and she's just so beautiful. Good morning, Marcia. Marcia Weider, Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning, everyone, wherever you are in the world. Hi. Thanks for joining us live. You know, Adam, as I listen to your story, it is what makes you the perfect person to do what you're doing because you lived through it. You went through the story soul searching and got honest about where you weren't happy. And you went to the workshop that really did completely change your life. And I believe that transformation occurs in a moment. You make a choice, a decision, a conviction, a commitment, and then you spend the rest of your life living into it to really create a dream come true life.

Agreed. Yeah. So you know what's cool is that we get to see each other in just a couple of weeks now we're across whatever the fiber network is. That's cool. But we get to actually see each other physically. I get to give you a hug, I get to introduce you on stage at our Never Work Again event because you're going to be there to share your gifts with people that are, by the way, they're wanting a lot more of all the things we're talking about. But the program is specifically designed to help people get free, get financially free to have their time, freedom. So I'm hanging out from home today. You're hanging out from home.

We're meeting on the beach Monday to take a walk together. I mean, this is the kind of life and lifestyle that we've been able to create for ourselves. And we're so blessed and I'm so honored that I'm part of your team that's going to be able to help other people do the same, because life is short. I've read a statistic someplace that most, most of us work 100,000 hours before we retire. Never Work Again is about when you're doing what you love. Somebody long, long ago said, when you're doing what you love, you'll never work again. I love the name of the program, I love the lineup that you have, and I'm really honored to be part of it. Thank you.

You're so welcome, Marcia. Would you take just a couple minutes while I'm going to sip my coffee here and share some of the things that. That you'll share with our students when you're with them?

Yeah. Well, as the CEO of Dream University, for 30 years, I've been helping people all over the world achieve their dreams. And whether I was teaching at Stanford Business School, Girl Scout Camp, or having the privilege to work with three United States presidents, 14 books, I've developed a body of work and core to that really is knowing who you are and what it is that matters to you. So I'm going to teach a very simple process for saying no more to what's no longer true for you. So you can say now what to what you really want. And that simple model will help you turn your life right side up. So that when you look in your calendar or in your scheduling device, very soon, what you'll see are the activities that are moving you forward on your dreams, that are all aligned with your purpose and living on purpose and in touch with your dreams, personally and professionally. I'm reaching down to feed my dogs in case you guys. That's Chow and Bella, my two Yorkies. Okay, guys, you bribed me, you've got me trained. They bark and I treat them, you know, but the idea is when you say no more to what's no longer true and you say now what to what really matters to you, that's a game changing moment and that's what this entire program's about. And you know, unlike a lot of speakers, I'm not really a PowerPoint training gal. We've got so many people that are teaching so much brilliant content, but I'm much more experiential. A lot of my talk will be in the audience, laser coaching people, helping them see where are they not clear and how can I help them get greater clarity. Where are they? Stuck by some obstacle. Either an internal obstacle like fear and doubt, or an external obstacle where they need strategy and resources. But most importantly, what I'm committed to is helping people get into action so that you will demonstrate that you're more committed to your dreams than to any doubt, fear, or even reality, including how much money you have in your checking account, including what's going on in the economy. You do not need to be stopped by that. And I'm going to help you take that seriously. Focused, intentional step to demonstrate that you're serious about living a quality of life that's in alignment with your own heart and your own values. Yes, in a nutshell, the main skill that I'm going to teach, that I'm considered masterful at in my industry and I've taught, gosh, to colleagues and peers, very high level people, is that in order to master manifestation, the ability to make something happen personally or professionally, you must master the skill of enrollment. And I'll teach both a left brain and a right brain approach to support you in being able to accomplish more faster. And when you master the skill, the obstacle called I don't have enough money actually disappears when you can articulate your vision like a visionary, with clarity, so people get it with passion, so people get excited about it. And you truly have the capacity to invite and enroll people to join you and to help you. They'll spend more money with you, they'll invest in you, they'll hire you, buy your products and services, and you'll never feel like you're selling. So never sell again, never work again. But really authentically, be you in a way that inspires people who resonate with who you are and your message, to join you and to help you and get behind you. It's a big piece, it's simple to learn, and then it takes practice.

Yeah, well, I think that's, to me, that's the key to creating. Well, first of all, I agree with you that when you love what you do, you don't work. So it's not working anyway. But. But to be able to physically not have to be someplace at a certain time and trade your hours for dollars, let's call it what it is. When I read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich dad, Poor Dad, I remember being on the beach in Martha's Vineyard and I was on my three weeks. I had my three weeks in the summer and I worked and killed myself. I was a litigation attorney. If you ask my wife, she'll tell you I used to drag files up with me. I'd be up there three weeks and I had my files with me. They're like, but you're on vacation, dad. I'm like, listen, this is how I can be away three weeks. I'll work three hours, four hours in the morning, and we'll sit on the beach all afternoon. And that was. I'm giving you the absolute real here. And this is the vacation, right? So I'm sitting on the beach and I remember where I was too, is in beautiful town called Manemsha. And looking out, you know, on the ocean and reading Kiyosaki's book. And it's like an attack, an assault on me because the Quadrant is the S. Right? There's the self employed, there's the employee. So it's E, S, B, I. Right? That's the quadrant. And I'm this S, which stands for self employed. You know, and I'm. This is what? I'm a slave. That's also an S. You know what, Adam?

I used to live my life in 15 minute increments. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner meetings. When I was in Washington D.C. and I was this high power marketing executive, you know, it was like 15 minutes. And I thought, when I look back on that, it was like, I'm amazed that I lived through it, you know, and, you know, and now I don't live my life looking at clocks and calendars. People say to me when they, you know, I'm almost 60 years old, I'm proud of it. People look at me and they go, how is that possible? And I said, well, I took off my watch, you know, I stopped living in a world. I mean, I've got my phone, I'm always on time, I make my planes, I keep my appointments. But for the most part, living a spacious life allows me the ability to dream bigger dreams, to be more creative, to be more selective and more discerning about who I partner with and the joint ventures and the strategic relationships that I have. But, you know, I want this for everyone. At the end of your life, whenever it comes, none of us really know, and for most of us, whenever it comes, it will be too soon. But if we live every day like it's an extraordinary day, filled with gratitude and appreciation, and every day where we say, wow, I'm really following my heart, and sure there are things that you need to do and that you have to do, but I hope that you'll create a life that's flowed mostly with what you want to do and the dream of being paid well for doing what you love in your way, on your terms, in your schedule, that's really about taking control of your life, co creating it, if you're open to those kinds of concepts. But really having a say in how you want your life to be every single day of your life, that's cool.

Yes. That's the only word that comes with me. Yes. Marcia, I love about what you teach, too. I look back on that time in my life where I was just trading my time for money. I had no leverage. Right. So when you talked earlier about that you're going to teach people how to have enrollment conversations, this is so key, because when you're able to enroll, what's the Word, right, Enroll. When you can do that, enroll other people in your vision, then you have leverage. You have the other people doing a lot of the things that you would otherwise be doing and the practice for.

Getting ready for coming.

You pull yourself out of your job, pull yourself out of your business. That's when you know you have freedom. Until that time, you don't have freedom for the most part. And it's not the most polite thing in the world to say, but I'll ask people how many of you are in your own business and a lot of hands will go up and I'll say, okay, so now when you're here at the program or you're at another program or you're doing something else, how's your business doing? And a lot of those people, their whole body language is that it shrinks because they know they're not making as much money. There's a lot of things that are not getting looked after. There's a lot of responsibilities that they're worried about because they don't have a business.

That's right.

And they have the worst boss, which is that.

And I want to say that I've worked with people that every imaginable dream that we can put into the big categories of personal or professional. But I know that there'll be some people, maybe you, who are listening to this and you're going to be in the audience and you don't really know what your dream is yet. That's a great you can come to. Never work again with the intention of really finding what makes your heart sing. You're going to hear from so many world class speakers who are going to help you open your mind and your heart and your eyes to a whole new way of thinking and a whole new way of being. Because what most of us do is we compromise our dreams down to what we realistically think is possible. And most of us do it based on what's in our checkbook. That's not the place we want you to look like. Don't look in your checkbook to decide whether or not your dream is a good idea. Don't go to, well, how can I afford this? Come to the program with an open mind. Come with either the clarity of what your vision is and the intention for being paid well, for doing what you love and or come with the intention of discovering a new vision, passion, business opportunity, but come with the intention to really get value out of the program and right off the bat that's going to take it to the next level. A lot of People talk about intention. Intention is the rudder that steers the course of your life. A program like this coming with a clear intention will set the bar for how you participate in the program. But the second piece is critical because without the second piece, intention is just a lot of blah, blah, blah. And the second piece is integrity. Intention is you put a stake in the ground. Yes, I'm coming to the program. Yes, I'm going to get everything I can out of it. Yes, I'm going to open my mind and discover very specific and practical tools and action steps. That's the intention. And then integrity is you actually doing what you say that you're going to do, including how you show up. A great source of suffering is we say we're going to do one thing, our intention, and then we do something else. Or we say we want to do something and then we do nothing. Nothing activates that internal voice of doubt and skepticism and fear more than saying you're going to do something and not doing it. What I adore about Peaks audiences about you guys is that you really get it in your body and your bones that it's really that making the commitment and living in integrity with it is what puts you in the less than 1%, probably less than 1% of 1% percentile in the world. I love Peaks audiences. You guys show up early, you stay late, you sit up tall, you're here to learn everything that you can. And for the most part, people go back into their lives and actually really do something. And then, ta da, you get to see real results. I'm honored that I have 90 minutes with you at this program. And we're going to work. We're not just going to be thinking and learning. We're going to have an interactive session that's really designed to transform you, to support you in not only putting that stake in the ground, but then seeing clearly what the action steps are that you need to take in order to basically never work again.

Oh, my goodness. Well, listen, here. Here's what I want to do in the last couple of minutes that we've got is I want to tee up something that I've seen you do, and then I want to. I want to toss the baton right back to you and put you on the spot with a little question.

So thank you.

I'm almost giving you a warning, right. What I've seen you do is that you get out in the audience and I don't know if you guys can see from the screen or whatever. I mean, Marcia is gorgeous, but you're not like some big tall woman, four'.

Eleven, four' eleven, let's just name it.

And sometimes you're standing with some guy who's like six' six, you know, and you're like up to his belly button or something. And I watch you just melt. People I've seen literally just step into this space where of course, it's dependent. I mean, I know that what's happening there is that you've opened yourself up to source to be able to just speak, say whatever it is that's needed for that person to get a dose of what they came for. And so when you say it's interactive, I don't know that people quite understand that until they've been with you and they see what that means. That's not you on stage. Whatever.

It's not me taking questions.

We call industry processing. You process people, as in you work through their process with them. And sometimes that's beautiful and elegant, and sometimes it's just ugly, right? Because some person has to break down and cry and have their moment. And the beauty is that not only do they get what they get from it, but everybody gets something incredible from that experience. That's a blessing that you guys will just have to see and experience, not only to believe, but just to get the benefit of. These two events are coming up. It's Never Work Again in Palm desert, and that's December 4th to the 7th at the Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa. I gotta tell you, I love the desert. And Palm Desert is gorgeous. And this place, amazing.

Come early and stay late.

Come early and stay late. Exactly. Then we've got the Never Work Again super course in Orlando. It's just one day shorter. For those of you that are on the east coast and had some scheduling things, we created a program for December 11, 13, 11, 13 at the Caribbe Royale. Gorgeous place. Also beautiful pools and the weather is amazing. So again, come early, stay late, same thing.

I'll be at both events and Marcia.

Will be at both events. So you are in luck. In fact, if you want to travel from coast to coast, they will be.

Completely different because I am not, you know, I am not. We are creating it in the moment. You know the laser coaching that you are talking about, Adam? I mean, sometimes I come up to somebody and I pop them in the head. And maybe because I'm little and kind of cute, I can get away with a lot. But I've been doing this for 30 years and I stand with certainty in terms of who I am and who I serve So I know that my heart is in the right place. So what you guys can count on me for is I will hold nothing back. I'll do my laser coaching with as many people as I can. And the gift that I've been given by God in this life is I see potential. So any place that I, you may ask one question, but I'm looking at you and I'm like, okay, well, this is a world class expert and he or she just doesn't know it. So sometimes I just have to throw the switch that's been stuck in the wrong position and help you really get who you are. So we do a little. You might stand up and ask a question. I'll do some laser coaching. We'll take you in a different direction. And it really is true that everyone in the room is served by everybody who works. And sometimes it's even easier to hear it when you're not in the hot seat and I'm working with somebody else. But you can count on me to have fun with you, to generously share everything that I can, and to bring my powerful toolkit for transformation in support of having you really leave here with the life that you are destined to lead, which is a life that I believe is filled with joy, love, abundance that we were created to create. And you get some say in how your life goes and the tools that you're going to learn and never work again, and the fun that we're going to have together and the transformation that will occur will be unlike anything that you've experienced anyplace else. So I can't wait to mate. I can't wait to see you, to connect with you, and to share my gifts with you in service to your own awakening and transformation.

That's beautiful, Marcia. Look for us to be able to share you and as you said, a number of other people that are not only just world famous, but have committed their adult lives to this work, to.

Transform solid.

That serves our vision. Our vision is to create global peace through individual self realization, through self actualization. And our students have come to expect that what we're about is that when they're working on their own inner peace, we're collectively contributing to the peace of the world. I mean, it's not that complicated, right? When we're more peaceful beings, we don't commit and conduct acts of war between our own ears. We're not conducting acts of war with our spouse, friends, our family, our business partners, and ultimately, ultimately, when the collective consciousness of our communities, our small communities, our larger communities, provinces, states, countries, etc. Are obviously made up of the people that live in those places, then our elected officials will also have that consciousness and that's when the world will change. This is a doable thing. It's not.

I love it. You know what? Every time I hear you say this vision, my heart turns toward you. It takes courage to have a big vision and it takes more courage to share it. But because you are a man of such high integrity beyond walking your talk, the ability to say no to what's no longer true, and the courage to really express a big vision like this, and because Peaks is a company that has such a high level of integrity, it makes you so trustworthy. So not only do I hear the vision and my body says yes, not only do I turn toward it because I'm touched and inspired by it, but it makes me say, oh, how can I play? How can I help? How can I contribute? Those of you that are coming to this program and you have a really big vision and you don't really know where to start on it, or maybe you haven't been able to get the traction on it yet, you can really look to Adam and to Peeks and many of the other high caliber powerful speakers who are going to be at this event and role model them and use them as mentor myself as well as mentors and teachers. It doesn't matter. No dream is too big. As you just heard, world peace. And no dream is even too small. If what you're coming to never work again for is that you want more quality time with your family. That's a very noble dream. And we're going to support you. Really. So that you will leave in action on the dreams and visions that are truly most important to you.

Exactly. I mean, no dream is impossible. I mean, that's the thing we say, these things are impossible. But if you look at what did not exist 25 years ago, the things that didn't exist, I mean.

Yesterday, yesterday.

There was no Facebook. These things were impossible.

Right? And they've changed our lives now.

They're logical and it's no different. We talk all the time that something's impossible. And then when someone else is refusing to buy into that and they move it forward a year later, we'll say, oh no, that's logical that I can store my entire music library on one little device this big. When I used to own 6000 LPs, records or CDs or tapes or cassettes, whatever. I mean, you go, that's impossible. And then it's not. It's logical. So, yeah, I think that the thing that you said, Marcia, that really triggered for me is that when you come to our events, speaking directly to our students, ask for support. That's why we're there. We're there to support you. Yes. We want you to be a student and to learn and to experience someone like Marsha Weider and continue to advance your education. But. But we're there for you.

That's right.

People don't ask for support. So Beeks has a big vision. Yes, we're asking for support all over the place. We ask for the support of Marcia and our partners and our friends so that we're all behind something. That's the whole concept of never work again. How do you stop making the whole thing about you? It's not about you to begin with. Look, I'll go off on a tear, and then we'll have to.

But you know what? I'll throw this in. If somehow life said to me, marcia, you can only teach one skill, Taking everything else away, I would teach people how to ask for help. Our ability to make specific requests that are really clear and make it easy for people to say yes is the game changer. What I've experienced at PEAKS over and over is this real, kind, caring community where people want to help. So if I can help you learn how to make these kinds of specific requests so it's easier for people to help you, you're going to accomplish more faster. So we will focus in on that during this event.

Yes, for us, it's just about being heart centered, if nothing else. Like you said, if you could teach one thing, it would be to help people understand how to ask for support. And if there's anything that would be my own personal legacy that I want it to be, people know that. One of the things I teach people right out of the gate is wake up in the morning, put your feet on the floor, and set an intention with the words that you say. And for me, I wake up and every day. Today was no exception. Instead of being a miserable so and so, I say I love my life. I didn't believe that the first time I said it. It was just something I wanted to believe. Now I not only believe it, but it's absolutely true.

It's in your cells. It's at a cellular level. Yeah. This is where the fake it till you make it concept really works. Right. So you declare it and then you become it. So beautiful. So beautiful. We're so blessed. I think anytime that we express gratitude, we feel the heart Centeredness. And then when we come out to the world in support of others, that's living on purpose, knowing what's unique and special about you and sharing your gifts, being in service to others. We're going to teach you how to make a fortune by doing good in the world. Right?

Because the only thing that ever stops anybody is the same thing everywhere. I think this is a lean cup of your ears kind of thing. But the only thing that stops anybody, anywhere, any language, any culture, is fear. That's across the board, the deal. That's the only sin. It's the only darkness. It's the only anything in this world that that is, as Roosevelt said, the only fear is fear itself. The only thing that I know of that crowds out fear is what you're talking about. So when you're in gratitude, when you're present and you have the feeling of my life is meaningful and purposeful, there's no way to maintain the fearful thought or have that be working in your body energetically. When you're at the same time in gratitude, it crowds it out. Look, these are things that we're moving more into the realm of how do you implement? Folks will want to know this. So I'll say that never work again is special, not just because we bring in some folks that are experts like you, Marcia, but our piece of the puzzle is the reprogramming side. We understand what it takes to help people to overcome and transcend their fear. It's programming, it's reprogramming that's required. That's what happened for me. I went through this program. I'm a product of the product. I eat the cookie. And so the last thing I'm going to say is this. If you're on the fence, we have some folks that have registered quite a number. We have probably 50 seats that are uncalled on whatever claimed, unclaimed. Thank you in Orlando, and less than that, maybe 30, 40 seats that are in Palm Desert. I'm shocked. In fact, some people know, I say shocked. It's shocking that there are people that bought this program, and not only individually, but as part of their quantum leap, that haven't registered yet. And they're probably thinking, and this is where I want to meet you, where you are. How do I take off more time from work or I've got to book a flight, I've got to book a hotel. Marcia, this is where I put you on the spot, because I want to ask you in just a minute's time, what would you say to somebody that that's their mindset of, I've got a job, I've got responsibilities, what do I do?

You know, I mean, integrity comes down to the action you take. It's not enough to be thinking about it, talking about it, dreaming about it. And the number one way that we sabotage our dreams, goals and vision is we project our fears and doubts into the vision. We say things like, but what if. But what if I take more time off from my job, but what if I invest the money and don't get my return? As opposed to, I'm committed to getting the most I can. Attending this program is part of my strategy for actually leaving my job and starting something that I'm truly passionate about. It's the $64,000 question. Are you more committed to your dream or are you more committed to your doubt, fear or reality? If you're more committed to your dream, it's not enough to be talking about it. You need to take action on it. This is a program that doesn't come along many times a year. This is it. This is your opportunity. I think the fact that it's the end of the year to get this knowledge, this information, to get it under your belt, to be in a room full of visionaries, world class resources, is a way that you demonstrate to the world around you, but most importantly to yourself that you're not just talking about it, you're serious about it. Especially if you've already paid for the program. That's just crazy. So don't be crazy. Be courageous. Listen to your heart. Demonstrate that you're serious about taking that step forward. Because with one step like this, one highly intentional step, you're no longer just thinking about it. You're in action on the dream or vision that matters to you most. So show yourself that you're trustworthy. Show the universe that you're serious about it. Do whatever it takes to join us. And then while you're with us, get everything you can squeeze out, every little drippy drop by, you know, by how you show up and how you participate with others in the room.

Oh, beautiful. All right, well listen, I love seeing you. That's what that. Beautiful, beautiful. All right, well listen everybody. We'll see you. We're gonna love on you. You know what we do? We're gonna, we'll hug you, we'll give you whatever you need. But as Marcia said, she couldn't said it any better. I'll say a little differently. Get your ass to this program.

That's the bottom what he said.

All right, we're over and we're out. Ciao, everybody.
