			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sean Stephenson was expected to die at birth. He has a rare bone disorder and suffered more than 200 bone fractures by age eighteen. He reached a height of only three feet, and is permanently confined to a wheelchair.</p>
<p>He is also a friend of Bill Clinton, Tony Robbins and Richard Branson. He is also truly the most inspirational and <strong>naturally confident</strong> man I have<em> ever</em> had the privilege of spending time with&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-758" title="sean-stephenson2" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sean-stephenson2.jpg" alt="sean-stephenson2" width="198" height="208" /></p>
<p><span id="more-738"></span>My interview with Sean was the longest interview about confidence that I have done out of all 60 interviews to date &#8211; it lasted almost 2 hours! And I said LESS than in any other interview! I simply sat back and soaked up everything Sean had to share about his journey into confidence and his tips for creating a life of confidence&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-742" title="sean-mountain" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sean-mountain.jpg" alt="sean-mountain" width="200" height="154" /></p>
<p>And I will have it ready to share with you very soon. I am busy editing right now. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about this incredible man&#8230;</p>
<p>Sean Stephenson has inspired millions of people around the world, including Tony Robbins and President Clinton. He has had more life adventures than anyone I know.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-743" title="sean-and-bill" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sean-and-bill.jpg" alt="sean-and-bill" width="196" height="124" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;<em>Sean is an amazing person with an important message</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">- <strong>President  Bill Clinton.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sean was expected to die at birth because of a rare bone disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta Despite and yet, despite or more probably <em>because</em> of all the challenges he has faced, Sean is now one of the leading authorities on the deconstruction of self–sabotage. In his early years he faced so many reasons to give up and to doubt or pity himself. And yet he never did.</p>
<p><em>In fact&#8230;</em></p>
<p>- He has worked on Capitol Hill for U.S. Congressman William O. Lipinski and in the White House alongside President Clinton.</p>
<p>- He has testified in front of the United States Senate on two separate occasions.</p>
<p>- He has developed a thriving professional speaking business.</p>
<p>- He has shared a speaking platform with Tony Robbins, Henry Winkler, and Mark Victor Hansen.</p>
<p>- He has traveled to over forty seven states and six countries.</p>
<p>- He filmed a fitness video called, No Excuses! with Miss Fitness Universe and her husband, a former Mr. Olympia competitor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-744" title="sean-buff" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sean-buff.jpg" alt="sean-buff" width="258" height="261" /></p>
<p>- He was appointed to serve on the Board of Directors for National Association for Self-Esteem.</p>
<p>- He is a board-certified psychotherapist, who runs a private practice and is completing his Doctorate in Clinical Hypnosis.</p>
<p><em>Oh&#8230; </em>and he has been seen by millions on Oprah, CNN, The Discovery Health Channel, WGN, CBS News, and in The New York Times.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>Exactly ten years ago, Tony Robbins inspired Sean (at the time a sickly 19 year-old boy) to dream big. REAL BIG. He said create a TEN year vision. And Sean did&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-745" title="sean-and-tony" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sean-and-tony.jpg" alt="sean-and-tony" width="198" height="162" /></p>
<p>In the vision, he dreamed of writing a book and having it published. He dreamed of creating and launching his own TV show.</p>
<p>Well, last month Sean began filming his TV show, on the A&amp;E network called &#8220;<em>3 Foot Giant</em>.&#8221; And he also just published his book, Get Off Your &#8220;But&#8221;: How to End Self-Sabotage and Stand Up for Yourself. It&#8217;s already getting rave reviews&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-746" title="get-off-your-but" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/get-off-your-but-200x300.jpg" alt="get-off-your-but" width="115" height="173" />.</span></p>
<p>After interviewing him, I promised Sean that I&#8217;d read and review his book.</p>
<p>I have to tell you I LOVED it. My copy has a TON of notes scribbled over it from cover to cover.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s a little video review I filmed in a bookshop in Beijing. I&#8217;m not sure why I look quite so serious!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="225" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5039806&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5039806&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /></object></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I am starting this blog to share three things with you:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(1) Obviously&#8230; SECRETS of The World&#8217;s Most <strong>Confident </strong>People! You will have access to a ton of audios and videos of interviews with a bunch of <em>amazing</em> people.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(2) Confidence tips and advice to support <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU</span></strong> in your journey, and</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(3) Stories about my own journey into confidence (I&#8217;ll share my fears, my joys, my passions and even my pain too).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In January 2009, I set myself a crazy goal &#8211; I was going to interview The World&#8217;s Most <strong>Confident</strong> People.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span> <img class="size-full wp-image-721 alignnone" title="most-confident-people" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/most-confident-people.jpg" alt="most-confident-people" width="331" height="198" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">I didn&#8217;t know how. I didn&#8217;t know who. I didn&#8217;t even know where or when. But I did know WHY&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em><span id="more-383"></span></em></strong><strong><em>WHY?</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Because I felt excited.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I don&#8217;t even know if excited is the right word for it &#8211; but every time I said to myself I&#8217;m gonna interview The World&#8217;s Most Confident People I found a great big soppy grin appeared on my face. When I told a couple of people my plan, they said &#8220;wow!&#8221; or something like that &#8211; and my grin got bigger. So I knew I was onto something.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then I told a whole bunch of people and they thought it was a cool idea. And I got kinda self-important (I do that). Hey, I&#8217;m interviewing The World&#8217;s Most Confident People.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I started.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, I say I started.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Actually, I did nothing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well. Lets be honest. How the HELL do you go about interviewing The World&#8217;s Most Confident People, anyway?!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I did nothing some more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And then I told Michael Neill. Michael is my mentor and my coach and a friend (<a href="http://www.geniuscatalyst.com/">www.geniuscatalyst.com</a>) and Michael said, <em>who</em> do you want to interview?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And then I got scared&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I don&#8217;t know, I said.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, said Michael, if you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">did</span> know, who would you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">LOVE</span> to interview&#8230;?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Oh, that&#8217;s easy, I said. And the names began to tumble out&#8230; Richard Branson, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Paul McKenna, Russell Brand, Cesar Milan, Sean Stephenson, Oprah Winfrey&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Great said Michael. Who do you want to interview first?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">F@#k! What&#8217;s he talking about?! How can I ever interview THEM? <em>Who am I? </em>I don&#8217;t even know them. I don&#8217;t even know HOW to know them. I don&#8217;t even know how to BEGIN to know them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I hate Michael sometimes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I said, how about I interview my friend Decker (after all, he&#8217;s pretty famous in the dating world for helping men meet amazing women <a href="http://www.authenticmanprogram.com/">www.authenticmanprogram.com</a>). And Michael said, well, that&#8217;s easy. He&#8217;s your friend. Who <span style="text-decoration: underline;">on your list</span> do you want to interview first?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Did I mention I hate Michael sometimes?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">OK, Russell Brand, I said. (Russell Brand&#8217;s an English comedian, actor, writer and presenter. He recently starred in the movies Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Bedtime Stories.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I happen to think he&#8217;s very funny. And he doesn&#8217;t give a f@#k about what people think of him. I like that. (Most of the time I worry far too much about what people think of me).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-386" title="Russell Brand" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/russel-212x300.jpg" alt="Russell Brand" width="212" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Michael jumped up and ran to his computer. Ok, he didn&#8217;t run. Michael&#8217;s too mellow for that. But he did put Russell Brand&#8217;s name into google. After just 5 minutes he&#8217;d come up with half a dozen ways for me to contact him. I knew that it might take a little more energy than that but it really wasn&#8217;t as difficult as I&#8217;d imagined.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then I got <span style="text-decoration: underline;">really</span> nervous.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here I was sitting opposite an internationally renowned Success Coach. A best-selling author, radio-show host and a coach and mentor to celebrities, CEOs and royalty. A man whose books have been translated into 8 languages and who has given talks at the United Nations (<a href="http://www.geniuscatalyst.com/">www.geniuscatalyst.com</a>).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jeez. If this wasn&#8217;t someone who should be in the book SECRETS of The World&#8217;s Most <strong>Confident </strong>People then nobody should.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">F@#k it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Hey Michael, can I interview you?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sure, when?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Errr&#8230; now?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sure.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Errr.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Err..</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Errr&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">OK. Rich, press record and ask me a question.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And that was it! I was doing it. I was really doing it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Listen to my first ever interview! You&#8217;ll even hear how shaky my voice was as we begin!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-385" title="newsletter_book_you" src="http://thatconfidenceguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/newsletter_book_you.jpg" alt="newsletter_book_you" width="140" height="219" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">In the three months since I talked with Michael, I have interviewed almost 50 of The World&#8217;s Most Confident People&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Including the modern-day James Bond who stole a Billion Dollars; the High School Dropout and Ex-Geisha who consults at the White House and helped 150 people become Millionaires; three New York Times bestselling authors who are regular guests on Oprah; and the World&#8217;s Leading Hypnotist.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also one of the Most Influential &amp; Powerful Women in Social Media; the Creator of a Website with Two Million Visitors a month; the woman who recovered from rape to become an Internationally Known Psychic; the Mother of Two who Founded a Charity and Influences Governments; the Success Coach who works with Royalty and Hollywood Stars; the World&#8217;s Greatest Seducer and three of the Most Sexually Confident Women you&#8217;ll ever meet&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Stayed tuned! In the coming days I&#8217;m gonna share each of their stories with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8220;Here&#8217;s what I got.&#8221; </strong>- I&#8217;ve got my full 19 minute interview of Michael sharing his thoughts on confidence.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8220;Here&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll give ya.&#8221; </strong>- You&#8217;ll learn how to cope with being fired; you&#8217;ll hear how Michael&#8217;s moods used to change according to how many people subscribed and unsubscribed from his email list &#8211; and what he now does differently; and you&#8217;ll hear Michael&#8217;s advice on what to do if you are scared about the economy right now&#8230;<strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8220;Here&#8217;s what I want you to do next.&#8221;</strong> &#8211; For the audio interview with Michael Neill enter your name and email and I&#8217;ll send you the interview for free!</p>
