			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>              Copyright (c) 2008 Christine Kloser</p>
<p>Have you ever found yourself sitting in a seminar room hearing the same information over and over again? I admit this has happened to me many times. While typical business seminars are a great way to network, be visible, and learn (or be reminded of) some great business strategies, it&#8217;ll serve you well to diversify your learning.</p>
<p>I speak about this from the personal experience I had at the 2007 Evolutionary Women retreat. It was the first &#8220;non-business&#8221; event I attended in more years than I care to count. I had been so focused on &#8220;business, business, business&#8221; that I only invested my time, money and energy in the usual business seminars and conferences. Along the way, I&#8217;ve learned invaluable information that has changed my business, and my life.</p>
<p>But, it&#8217;s gotten to a point now where I realize I already know what I need to know to grow my business right now. I don&#8217;t need any more information&#8230; or any more ideas to distract me from my mission and purpose. (I&#8217;m sure you can relate to what I&#8217;m talking about.) Sure, I&#8217;ll still attend traditional business seminars, but I&#8217;ve decided to invest more of my time, money and energy into more diverse learning environments this coming year.</p>
<p>There are three reasons to diversify your learning, especially as a conscious entrepreneur because your business only evolves as much as you do. If you&#8217;re not exposing yourself to new and diverse environments for learning, you may be missing out on the exact experience that&#8217;s going to help everything fall into place. So, get ready to open your heart and soul to new opportunities that excite, and call you&#8230; opportunities that invite you to discover and BE more of who you are. In case you&#8217;re not already convinced it&#8217;s time to expand your horizons, here are three reasons to get on board:</p>
<p>Reason #1: New Understanding</p>
<p>Notice that I didn&#8217;t say new knowledge. You already know so much, I doubt you really need to learn a whole lot more. I use the word &#8220;understanding&#8221; because, as a conscious entrepreneur, it&#8217;s your responsibility to continually deepen your understanding; understanding of yourself, others, your passion, your purpose, your spirituality, your fears, your priorities&#8230; everything. The more you understand who you are, where you are, where you&#8217;re going and the &#8220;reason&#8221; for it all&#8230; the easier the journey is to getting there. For instance, as a result of being at the 2007 Evolutionary Women conference I have a much deeper understanding of how important it is for me to attend events with a spiritual component. This is where understanding takes on a whole new level for me.</p>
<p>This understanding doesn&#8217;t come from sitting in a seminar room where you listen to same the speakers and scribble down a bunch of notes; it comes from exposing yourself to new environments and new speakers that give you the time and space to be with yourself in a way that allows you to experience a new understanding.</p>
<p>Reason #2: New Perspective</p>
<p>Allowing yourself to be in a new learning environment opens you up to gaining an entirely new perspective. When you attend the same types of events over and over again (with the same speakers) it can become a waste of your valuable time. It&#8217;s usually the same information making its &#8220;rounds&#8221; again where everyone has the same perspective.</p>
<p>Whereas, when you enter into a new learning environment (with new teachers), it&#8217;s easy to gain a new perspective. Why? Because you&#8217;re learning from speakers/teachers who are not the &#8220;same as usual&#8221;&#8230; they aren&#8217;t speaking from the same PERSPECTIVE. New speakers/teachers make it easy for you to see new things; a new way of being, new wisdom, new insight and a new way of looking at everything. I invite you, like I did, to attend an event where you can learn from speakers/teachers that you haven&#8217;t heard before. You&#8217;ll open up in new and miraculous ways and begin seeing things differently. Chances are you&#8217;ll gain insight that was exactly what you need to experience the success you desire.</p>
<p>Reason #3: New Relationships</p>
<p>The third reason to diversify your learning is to establish new relationships, because relationships are the most valuable asset you have in your business. When you diversify your learning environments, you instantly diversify the types of people you meet and the relationships you establish. More often than not, when you walk into a new learning environment, you won&#8217;t see a lot of familiar faces. This is good news! Because, it gently nudges you to reach out and make new connections.</p>
<p>For instance, when I was at Celebrate Your Life Conference, I only knew 3 people out of 1500! Nobody knew anything about me, my business, my books, my publishing company&#8230; nothing. So, it nudged me out of my usual comfort zone of having a lot of people know me and I struck up conversations with new people&#8230; and have formed some very valuable business relationships as a result.</p>
<p>As you can see from these three reasons to diversify your learning, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I admit, sometimes it&#8217;s scary to enter a &#8220;new room&#8221;&#8230; but there&#8217;s such an extraordinary possibility that occurs in these new environments that it&#8217;s well worth taking the risk to try something new. </p>

              Background &#8211; Cook and company In 1492 Chris Columbus started the greatest real estate venture the world had ever seen. Using the borrowed money from the Spanish King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, he discovered the vast undeveloped lands of the New World and claimed them for Spain. Within a few decades, Spain became the richest nation in Europe and Columbus achieved national fame. That’s pretty good going for a penniless Italian seafarer. Another great seafarer and explorer, although later in the 19th Century, was Captain James Cook who discovered Australia and a few other countries, including New Zealand and Hawaii, unfortunately Hawaii in those days was hardly a place he could claim land for, let alone real estate investment! Besides, for Capt. Cook, Hawaii turned out to be the place where he’d eventually fall. Myth has it that Captain Cook was considered a reincarnation of a god by the local Hawaiians. This of course is just that, a myth. The Hawaiians never thought of him a god, a great navigator and captain perhaps, but not a god. In 1779, at the ripe old age of 50 Cook and company returned to Hawaii to be greeted once again by the hospitable and friendly Hawaiians, he stocked up on food and water, made some repairs and within one month his ship the HMS Resolution set sailed once again. His mistake was however was rather ominous…shortly after the Resolution set sailed the mast of his ship snapped and he had to return to the islands again. This time the Hawaiians weren’t so hospitable. Whether it was because they’d had enough of these pushy colonists or whether it was because they had returned after the religious season of Lono (god) had ended, no one is sure. But as far as the records go, one of Cook’s boats was stolen upon their return and to make things worse Cook decided to take a course of action that would cost him his life. Instead of trying to negotiate, he attempted to kidnap the King of Hawaii (of all people) and hold him ransom until his boat was returned. His failed kidnap attempt, led to his death. As Cook tried to retreat to the shore, he was stabbed and bludgeoned to death by the King’s men. Modern Hawaii Although the demographics of the Islands have since changed, the population stands at 1,283,388, and of course the Hawaiians of today are still as kind and as hospitable as ever. As far as the topography of the country goes, the modern Hawaii mixes a natural blend of twenty first century modernization with a sense of its historical past, combining this with its natural beauty and splendour makes Hawaii and its islands not only a holiday destination to die for but a place of real investment opportunities in land, house, and condominium real estate. With the latest news of gloom and doom in the real estate sectors in the United states comes a light at the end of the tunnel insofar as, the great affordable deals in real estate that are now available, and why not start with the state of Hawaii. Companies like Hawaii House Sellers offer a range of real estate that in the current economic climate are there for the taking and a lot of them are for nothing down! They can even build your dream home for you.            </p>
