I feel REBORN --- My Experience with Jack Canfield!

Written on June 12, 2006


This is one of my 'shorter' email sharing :) Length is relative... It's been a long time since my last sharing So this is to make up for it. Hope you enjoy the Journey with me... And share one of yours too.

To my Money & You family...

Life is indeed an UNBELIEVABLE unexpected ADVENTURE!

Last week I had the opportunity to meet Jack Canfield himself!
I had waited one year for this moment... I had come into contact with Jack a year before -- also one of the most defining moments in my life.

Jack was supposed to do his program in Malaysia then, but he couldn't make it as all the airports were closed because of a snow storm. At that time, a close friend of mine had asked me to ask Jack for a signature. I would have never thought of doing such a thing in my entire life. Nonetheless, I emailed Jack and asked him for not one, but two signatures!

Jack then sent two stickers with his signature on it within two weeks.

That was a time I had stuck my neck out and put my foot forward to ask for what I had perceived then was 'out of my reach'.

For some strange reason... I gave one sticker away and I didn't paste my own sticker in my book. And so I waited a year to see Jack in person, to have my first Jack Canfield book signed - 'Dare to Win'

Finally after waiting for a year... Jack came to Malaysia.

Even though I wasn't in the room half the time as I was outside manning our Money & You booth. I spent the whole day thinking of what on earth do I say to Jack Canfield? My passion is in writing and to meet someone like Jack is like a dream come true!!!

Can you just imagine the feeling?

It was a highly perturbating experience... visualizing and visualizing the whole scene. I wrote and rewrote my script in my head more than what felt like a hundred times! This may be my one chance to go up to Jack and I had wanted it to be a moment to remember.

What do I say?!!! Not just go up to him, smile and ask him to sign my book.

It took me 3 attempts to pluck up my COURAGE.

The first time I went up to him, it was at the first break. I waited for most of the crowd around him to disperse. Then left just two participants and myself waiting for Jack to sign our books... then Jack said Ok, last two. No more on this break.... and guess what -- I missed my chance.

Second time... the crowd around him was building up and so I decided to wait again for the next round.

And finally, the program drawing to an end...it's now or never! Again I waited until most had gone off after the program. My teammate kept pushing me to quickly ask Jack for his signature, and I pretended to look cool and collected so I said, "Wait... let others go first. Our team will have some time with him".

I was actually stalling to compose myself... it made me more tense rather than calm. I was at the brink of tears already and my throat was getting all choked up. My whole body was trembling, I took a deep breath and introduced myself.

I smiled and said,
"Hello Jack, I'm Jacy and we're from the Money & You team"

Immediately his face lit up.

I shook his hand, put my books down then I asked Jack...
"May I hold your hands?"

He first gave me his right hand thinking I had just wanted to shake his hand again. I took both his hands and the moment I opened my mouth... tears just rolled down my cheeks I could hardly say the first sentence I've been rehearsing all day!

I finally managed in between tears to tell him that he has made a deep impact on my life a year ago... Then I remembered Clinton Swaine's exercise with us during the Entrepreneurial Empire Game on the Power of Acknowledgment said with Essence, right from the Heart -- short, powerful, straight to the point.

(High D's will love this!)

Now is a good a time as ever to say what I feel like saying in a short yet impactful manner...

I said to Jack,

"Jack, The Gift YOU are to ME is Love, Inspiration, Generosity, Passion, Courage, Integrity, Truth, Joy"



Thank YOU. That's What I Feel Like Saying :)
Then Jack asked if he could hug me!!!



I shall remember this moment for the rest of my life...

Many graduates have shared with me that Money & You is the Greatest Gift that we could ever give ourselves and the people around us.

It may not happen overnight. I can say for certain that I have been blessed with many miracles and all along the way I've met people whom have touched my life in a way that I shall treasure always. Life has not always been rosy, and that's what makes it so sweet and what I've learnt from the experiences of having the COURAGE to step out of my box --- out of my comfort zone, and follow my heart.

That's not the end of the story yet...

I then asked Jack to sign the back of my book upside down!
Was he surprised at such a request...

DC had sent me an email a day earlier as she knew that our team will be meeting Jack and asked me to send her love to Jack. I chose to write the note on a round hotel coaster saying...

"Dear Jack, DC Cordova sends her LOVE"

I placed it at the back of the book so that when he opened the page, he'd see the note. It was like a completion for me a year ago as I now place the sticker on the front page.

One of the graduates who shared this moment with me had asked, "Why the back page?"

I just said, it's because everybody automatically turned to the front of the book for him to sign... but the end is where something wonderful is hidden and seldom seen... it just pops up at you at the last moment when you least expect!

For me, it is just like life... when things seems so close to the end, then something just pops up and surprises me when I least expect it --- what a wonderful surprise it would be to reach what we perceive as the end of one chapter of our life, and to begin anew with such great blessings.

That is my wish for YOU too and all those around you. We can't change the past, we can always start now and have a new beginning to the end. Come to think of it... even beginning and end is relative. It's actually a continuation of NOWs.

In the space of just 2 months since I graduated from BSE April 2006, I'm amazed at the people I've met. I never would have even dared to dream of meeting before!

I got that all it takes is ACTION and ask for what I want... believing I deserve the best that life has to offer.



What is it about Money & You, and Business School that makes me come back again and again... I just can't compare one experience with another. Every time I meet someone along the way that touches my life in such a profound manner.

And many have wondered why I'm so passionate about my work... its because it doesn't feel like work --- when I do something I love to do every day of my life, I'm not working... I just get rewarded in so many ways. Some say I'm lucky... I say that I created my life to be just the way it is and just the way it isn't.

If you've been out of touch with Money & You, do come back. That's your life time privilege as a graduate, for the full 3 1/2 days for free.

Plus, you can be in the presence of Masters... Money & YOU is not a one time experience. That's exactly why it's a lifetime investment -- and our strongest guarantee! It's every day of our life, every single moment with our eyes open or close... we create precessional effects.

Every single chance that I have, I now choose to seek out Masters and be around them. That's the shortest route to success. From my personal observation, it's not so much of what they do that gets them where they are today, rather who they are being first that makes all the difference.

If you choose to share this life changing experience with someone you know, this is the greatest gift of a LIFETIME that you can share with them.
