Your Life Your Legacy
The world premiere of Roger Hamilton’s transformational event called Your Life Your Legacy was warmly welcome by more than 1,000 entrepreneurs in London England on April 16 to 18th at Alexander Palace.
Hamilton masterfully weaved the audience, aptly segmented into the 5 regions representing the official colors of the Olympics – red, yellow, blue, black and green, though the TEN WAVES that are currently transforming entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship around the world. .
The event was organized by Triumphant Events (www.triumphantevents.co.uk) in alliance with XL Results Foundation, the world largest entrepreneur network (www.resultsfoundation.com), and more than 60 affiliates and alliance partners in the UK, Europe, America and Asia Pacific.
In conversation with Daniel Priestly, co- founder of Triumphant Events, he shared that “he was incredibly pleased about the event and especially pleased about the way the team came together to ensure that the guests were treated to the world class event.” Priestly was referring to the forty plus team leaders, crew, and associates at Triumphant Events and XL that “showed up, stepped up, and gave back” as part of this premier event, YOUR LIFE YOUR LEGACY, and as part of their bigger purpose, mission and BIG VISION, the 20/20 Vision to spread the message of eradicating extreme poverty by 2020.
Hamilton shared that one wave that is making a huge difference in the world is the way that entrepreneurs are shifting their focus and that social entrepreneurship is key mantra of the day. The wave of social entrepreneurship is a wave that is capturing the imagination and creativity of business leaders around the world including the like of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Richard Branson. Hamilton share specific, easy to apply strategies and introduced a program the Social Entrepreneur Accreditation Program or SEA Program that attracted more that 400 new social entrepreneurs and raised over GBP8,000 for the Hunger Project (www.thp.org).
Highlights of the two and half day program included a session where four local London entrepreneurs were brought to the stage by Hamilton, given some on the spot coaching and then connected with members of XL Results Foundation via internet LIVE Connection covering Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia. One example was a FREE Trade coffee importer who was immediately connected with Li Lian in Malaysia for some possible coffee connection, Leon in the UK who is heading up extraordinary foods, and Carlos in Mexico.
The opportunities were outgoing from the UK and also incoming from the remote participants such as Jason Moriarty from Malaysia who is a strategic alliance partner with Virgin’s Richard Branson and Air Asia’s Tony Fernandes in a venture that will see Moriarty expand his YO Fitness centers in Tune Hotels (www.tunehotels.com) throughout Malaysia and Asia Pacific. It was amazing for all the guests, crew, and associates to witness that global connections can be established in a single moment and that businesses can shift in a split second and that perhaps some of our greatest opportunities are on the other side of the globe.
The message that Hamilton was able to demonstrate with this session was that we are presently experiencing a WAVE of financial, innovative, and enterprise shifts that includes the greatest transfer of wealth that the world has ever experienced. A specific example is Sheldon Adelson from Sands Casinos, Adelson’s decision to be a player in the casino industry in Macau about eight years ago has allowed him to ride this massive WAVE and has allowed him to be been major contributors to expanding the Macau Gambling Industry to its present status as the world’s largest casinos, even outdistancing Las Vegas. And all of this has happened since the turn of the millennium.
Utilizing terms like magical moments, critical moments, learning cycles, and applying the ancient wisdom of the ICHING, Hamilton’s program has embraced the concepts of yin/yang, opposites such as black/white and spring/autumn in his approach to sharing and disseminating information. Your Life Your Legacy was a brilliant blend of establishing framework, structure, and theoretical downloads with enough time and dynamics to allow magic to happen.
One of the most inspiring and magical moments was orchestrated by deal maker Dawn. She met a young rapper, Jeffery, a singer of inspiring rap, after the second day of the program while dining with some other participants. Citing a “critical moment” she encouraged Jeffrey to demonstrate his rapping at dinner. She then persuaded him to join her for the last day and through her determination, action, and seizing a Critical moment, she was able to get him to demonstrate his passion, talent and purpose to the 1000+ audience. In that critical moment, another member of the audience offered to book Jeffrey for an upcoming gig! By understanding and stepping up during a Critical Moment, she created attraction and possibly a new business enterprise for herself and her new business partner.
Hamilton left the stage, he shared his message that Your Life is Your Legacy. In this program, he shares his life, and he shares his legacy. He also invites you to share your life and share your legacy. Today’s entrepreneurs are the current day alchemists. Alchemy is the science of making something out of nothing and today’s entrepreneurs are alchemist and are the major agent of change in this world.
It will be entrepreneurs that bring positive change in our environment, bring positive change in the education systems, bring positive change in health and wellness industries and bring positive change in the areas of peace and global prosperity. This is the wave that is happening, this is the wave that XL is inviting you to join, and this is the wave that will make magic happen!
What will be your Legacy?
Sharing the Spirit Of Enterprise,

Good, Bad and Ugly of Paris to London
Flight on Singapore Airlines were full from Singapore to London last week, so I took a little detour through Paris to take the Eurostar train to London.
The GOOD
The eurostar experience was brilliant. 2 hours and 20 minutes from Paris to downtown London. It was smooth and simple, the service was terrific, the food was tasty and the experience was wonderful. The people I met on the train were engaging, friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience (and that was after a twelve hour flight from Singapore)
Advice – book early as the eurostar was fully booked and while I wanted to get on an earlier train that was not possible.
The BAD
Immigration into Paris – our flight arrived at 730am and it appeared that the folks at the airport did not have a CLUE about service, welcoming visitors, and the logistics of processing a few aircraft. It simply felt that the folks at CDG airport were being put out, and actually found us passengers to be a nuisance. Does Paris not want tourist, visitors, people to stay and spend money? The CDG airport experience was so bad, that I had to laugh and giggle as the experience was surreal. Escalators were backed up, there was no room to exit the escalators, the directions to get to immigration were unclear, and people were squished together until, a few extra immigrations centers opened and the crowd were able to disburse into the airport.
Advice – have a good sense of humor when traveling in CDG airport, laugh and be grateful it is only a short visit.
The UGLY
Exchanging money at the Nord Train station where I transferred to get on the eurostar was an UGLY experience. I had 30GPB to exchange and the agent at the exchange booth offered me 30 EURO and then ran into a tirade about “not worth his while” and that for such an amount he was not interested. WOW, quite a surprise and probably one of rudest experiences that I have experienced traveling anywhere.
Advice – Look for banks or cash machines or ATMs to withdraw money in Paris. I confirmed with a few people and most suggested using machines is much better as the rates are more accurate and the customer experience is much warmer.
Happy Travels!

Spiritual Teachings – The Tree
Roots that grow and ground into mother earth, a trunk that defies gravity and grows upwards, branches that stretch out and add horizontal, gravity defying grace, leaves that protect and represent life.
A tree will remove toxic CO2 gases from a human and will nurture with energizing, life giving oxygen.
A tree is divine, is enlightened and is just is being a tree, no ego, just being!
All enlightened masters have mentioned their divine relations with trees and many have experienced the moment of awakening in the presence of a tree.
Looking for some great counsel, sit next to a tree, and simply breath.
Seeking some compassion, hug a tree and breath in the nurturing air.
Life a little too busy, too chaotic, too exhausting, slow down, have a date with a tree and see what divine wisdome is shared with you.
During a recent visit to Poona, i was drawn to a lovely book called “Tears of the Mystic Rose” that included an insightful footer Rajneesh Reveals Osho. The books is available online http://www.oshorajneesh.net/thebook.htm - and i would like to thank the author Rajneesh for sharing his wisdom, insights, and stillness with me!
Make Magic Happen,
Dave
