The Foundation for All Success
the morning and then you consult with me in the afternoon?” I was totally on board with that and ready to absorb newfound knowledge and wisdom from Joe. I remember the meeting like it was yesterday. Joe Stump and a few team members and I were sitting at an outside table at my old house in Scottsdale, Arizona. I loved this outdoor space! It had big, hand-carved wood chairs that were so high that the backs on them were two feet over my head. They had soft, yellow cushions and they surrounded a beautiful, large, and long Tuscan table. It was a 75-degree Phoe- nix afternoon, and the perfect sort of day for an outdoor meet- ing. These may seem like mundane details, but there’s a reason they remain so vivid in my memory; my life would never be the same after this meeting. As we sat around the table, Joe Stump said to me, “Why do you want me here, Dean? What’s the main reason?” I responded, “Because I know I provide proven strategies for success and wealth to people, but I can’t always get them to take action. I not only want them to get my books and trainings, but I want them to use the information, get engaged, and then stick to it, so more of them can see the results of their actions. I’ve even been doing a weekly wisdom [check it out at www.weekly- wisdom.com] for my students for many years now to help them on their journey to success. I do all I can to try to get them en- gaged, but so many of my students are sucked back into their old routines. They seem to hope something changes, rather than making something change. I just need them to stay in the game long enough to make those little shifts and stay passionate about their goals. And once they get a glimpse, I know there will be no turning back for them.” He looked at me and said, “Wow, Dean, that was powerful. Have you ever done the seven levels deep exercise?” I said, “I don’t know what that is.” “It’s the most profound thing that I’ve ever done, and it can massively transform the lives of the people you teach and make them stay engaged and motivated longer than ever before. It will actually keep them engaged for life.”
