Day 3

Leslie & I wake-up at 6 AM local time this morning... We shower & head up stairs before day break. Enjoying coffee & breakfast, we are the first to arrive in the club & from our point of view we are the first to enjoy the sunrise over the harbor. Looking to the east, the sun is having a slow time getting our beyond the clouds & rain. Their is a fog & mist throughout the city. I don't think the odds favor us for this to clear up before we are scheduled to climb the bridge this afternoon.

I noticed that I left my cord to connect my camera to my laptop, so I'll have to add the appropriate pictures upon our arrival back stateside.

Sydney - Day 2

Our day started with an early phone call from Brian & Rhonda, some of our friends from San Diego. Rhonda & Brian were at the club for sunrise & breakfast was being served. The three of us put it in gear to not miss an enchanting sunrise. The sun across the harbor is nothing short of breathtaking.

After breakfast we sat and enjoyed our coffees & hot chocolates, talked, dreamed & enjoyed the ambiance. We started to notice the vibe of the hotel transforming in front of our eyes. As more and more LLI associates and advisor's begin to check in.

Down in the lobby we were greeted by countless friends within our LLI community. We began our day on foot, heading out on an adventure with no destination. Wandering the streets, we looked up & saw the Sydney tower calling to us like a beacon. Somewhere on the way we found old faithful, Starbucks. It is safe to say the basics are the same no matter your longitude or latitude. It is note able to mention that they come in Venti's down here.

We ended up walking through the Beverly Hills of Sydney. Chanel, Tiffany's, Louis Vutton, Cartier & others lined both sides of the streets as we headed towards the tower.

We took the lift up to the highest man made point in all of Australia. On top we enjoyed an international lunch. We sat, ate, drank, viewed out over Sydney & people watched those all around us. We lost track of time for a few hours. A couple behind us celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with friends & family. It was great to see their love overflowing & the passion they enjoyed with their loved ones.

After lunch, we climbed out of the tower & embarked on foot towards the harbor. We strode past blocks and blocks of historic buildings. We arrived at the gates of the botanical gardens, which size reminds me of NY's Central Park. Walking through the park, we were met with various themes throughout. Our journey led us to the castle I had seen from our hotel. The police officers at the front gate informed us the importance of this massive structure. It is the Government House, which was home to Sydney's Governor until 1997. The grounds are magical. We walked around the beautiful building taking it all in. The building itself left me awestruck.

Walking back to our hotel, we walked past the Consortium of Music, which is directly across the motorway from our place.

Back in the hotel, more Associates have checked in & the transformation of Libertyville AU continues.

Back @ our place, we found fresh flowers, cheeses & a few bottles of Australian wines. It was Happy Hour in our suite. The wine here is delicious. We also were left our itinerary for tomorrow's adventure: we are set to climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge & take a 5 hour dinner cruise aboard a yacht.

Wrapping up the evening led us to Happy Hour in the rooftop club & dinner in one of the suites. Looking out over the city watching the twinkle of the lights - Sydney is a good feeling city. We are early to bed, as we transition to the time change.

Day 1 - Sydney, Australia

So after taking in breakfast @ our hotel upon arrival, we decided to venture out into the city. Our goal was to stay awake as long as possible to prevent jet-lag. We walked down to Circle Quay (pronounced key), which is the 2nd busiest ferry harbor in the world. Hong Kong claims the busiest. From there we walked to the Sydney Opera House. The sheer size & mass of the Opera House cannot be appreciated until one is standing next to it. We enjoyed a lunch waterfront. The locals here are super friendly & are very happy people. We enjoyed walking the area with Jayden & Leslie's mom. After walking to dinner back down @ the Quay, we retired & called it an early night.

Arrival in Australia

Greetings friends,

We arrived here in Sydney around 6 AM local time after flying 14 1/2 hours from LAX. The rain has subsided for now & the locals say it is cold here now (55º F). I am still in shorts after flying through the night. Jayden is such a great little girl. She was such a great sport on both flights.

The hotel is nothing short of enchanting. Reminds me of a cross of Miami, Manhattan & the vibe of The W HOTEL. I am sitting on the top floor of the hotel in the Club Intercontinental room right now writing to you all. The club room is located on the 32nd floor of the hotel. As I type this to you, I am overlooking the Sydney Harbor bridge, I've got to do the bridge tour that climbs to the top. The view looking directly down is of the Sydney Opera House 32 stories below. The view is of the back side of the Opera House. I am sure that if someone looks @ pictures of the Opera House from the front, that you can see our hotel behind it.

I'm looking @ a castle of some sort just to the right of the Opera House. The view is spectacular. The traffic on the water is fairly heavy & the midday sun is creating a beautiful glitter across the waterway. I'll have to take some photos to post here later. After the girls rest a spell, we are off to start exploring the local area. I'm off to see what I can find close to the hotel now. I think I'll go explore the castle or see how to charter on of the speedboats I see flying all around the harbor...

Cheers,

Michael

Kangaroos & Koala Bears

G'day Mates,

Hold your calls... Between the housekeeper, the dog & a fish named Sushi - no one here will speak english for 2 weeks.

We are roughly 24 hours away from leaving on another big trip... I have been dreaming about this particular trip for nearly 30 years. I must have been 8 or 9 years old when I first learned of the land of Kangaroos & Koala Bears. This year's Summit Conference trip is to the land "down-under" in Sydney, Australia. It has been SOLD OUT for over a month & I want you to join us...

Since getting started with Liberty League International in March '03, we have traveled to places people usually only dream about for our Summit Conference. Last Summer it was taking safaris in South Africa, in 2005 we were snowboarding on a glacier while in Whistler, British Columbia, in 2004 we went to Athens, Greece (& 5 or 6 Greek Isles) just weeks before the 2004 Olympic Games & in 2003, our 1st year with the company is when we chartered a private island & had the local equivalent of our American Governor marry us while we were in the Fiji Islands.

2007 will be no different. It is our 4 month old daughter Jayden's first stamp in her passport. Leslie, Jayden & I are joining 500 of our business partners for the 2007 Summit Conference being held in Sydney, Australia. We are staying @ the world famous Intercontinental hotel right by the Sydney Opera House. The hotel will come to your suite & draw a bath for you upon request. Service is what this hotel is based on. Besides being a world class resort, the featured speakers have been featured in numerous movies, on Oprah several times, Larry King, NBC Nightly News, Ellen & just about every major newspaper

Leslie, Jayden & I invite you to join us in Australia from your home (or your job or office - Boo!!!) by visiting this site, our blog IncomeExperts.net
(IncomeExperts.blogspot.com) frequently over the next 2 weeks. (Bookmark this to your favorites)

P.S. - People ask me all the time, "Michael, what are you reading?" Right now, I am about 1/2 way through Wayne Dyer's "Believe It & You Will See It". I suspect I will finish it before we land in Sydney. I'll let you know my next book from the land down under.

Less than 48 hours...

The timer is on... Our house feels like we are waiting for Santa. Leslie & I are stoked that we are heading to Australia. Everything is set. Our limo arrives in under 48 hours. Tomorrow should be amazing... We're going to pack, run some last minute orders into the corporate office, build a support list for our team & play. Feels like Spring Break week...

Cheers for now,

Michael

Jayden's 1st Video

Jayden Ann's 1st video
Leslie gave birth to our 1st child, Jayden Ann last week and we are so proud to introduce her to you all... I love that I never missed a second of Leslie's pregnancy & today was our first doctor's appointment... You guessed it, I was there & today Jayden spent part of the day with me hanging in my office. Who else gets to have their 1 week old daughter hang with them in their office?

Her 1st big trip will be in Sydney, Australia in June. I'm looking forward to spending time with you all in Cancun in 3 weeks.

Michael Hamburger & his team raise $20,000 for breast cancer research.

Michael Hamburger & team raise $20,000 for Avon Breast Cancer Walk.

Michael Hamburger & members of his direct Liberty League International team raised $20,000 for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. Michael Hamburger’s mother Jeanette lost her battle in 1989 after a 6-year bout with breast cancer. For a 17 year old teenager, this is life changing. Several years later, Michael heard about the various breast cancer walks through his cousin Mindy’s participation. Michael supported his cousin’s walk through a financial contribution & attended the closing ceremonies in Atlanta, GA.

Being touched, moved & inspired by the survivors & the stories of those not so lucky to survive, Michael choose to not just support the grand cause but to become active in the fight. Upon registering for the next available walk to be held in Santa Monica, CA, Michael learned that he had to raise a minimum contribution of $3,750 to walk a marathon & a half.

Michael decided he could raise at least $10,000 for the walk. Michael turned to those he works with within the Liberty League International community for support. His outspoken support for his upcoming walk was meet with an overwhelming flood of others within the Liberty League International Beyond Freedom community. Several members of Michael’s team also registered for the walk & assisted in raising their required minimum donations and more. Some of the people flew-in from across the country to walk together and make a difference in the walk & breast cancer research around the world. Michael’s personal fund raising efforts accounted for more than $10,000 & the other Liberty League International Associates contributed for a total that exceeded $20,000 raised for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk.

Michael’s wife Leslie joined in by assisting the walkers as a volunteer, truly making it a family affair.

Michael & his wife Leslie continue to support the Avon Breast Cancer walk & other breast cancer research around the world.

BCS Championship Bowl Game - Florida Gators THE National Champions

Gators dominate & win 41-14






This is so great. I've been a lifelong Florida Gator fan. Last night I attended the 1st ever BCS Championship Bowl Game - hosted by the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona.

Goal!!!!

Welcome to 2007... Have you set goals for yourself for the next 12 months? Do you know that less than 10% of adults actually write their goals down on paper? Why is that? Is it that people are settling or that they do not want to hold themselves accountable? If you haven't established your goals & committed ink to paper...when? Someday? In case someone hasn't shared this with you, this is your life & you deserve to live life on your terms. I am amazed at how people sabotage themselves. I was speaking to a gentleman yesterday that lives in Northern California. He stated that he really "wished" that he & has wife & 18 month old son lived in Southern California. Imagine that? Someone is settling for less than they desire. Close your eyes right now. If you could live anywhere on the planet right now where would it be? Are you living there right now? I certainly hope so. If not, get moving. By the way, Leslie & I are in our new home... We moved in on New Year's Eve & had out 1st party on New Year's Day! I'll post more about that later!

How many people give their goals lipservice? I certainly have encountered my fair share. I am reflecting back at the goals I set for myself for 2006. Some of my goals were simple & effortless, while others made me really uncomfortable, even made me sick to my stomach. I have accomplished greater than 80% plus of the goals I set for my life & myself for 2006. I have also been looking around at the people I come into contact with and have been asking them about the goals they accomplished over the past 12 months. This should be surprising but sad to say it's not... The majority of people who have answered my ads in the past 30 days have not accomplished more than 20% of the goals they set for themselves in Dec 2005/January 2006. On the other hand, the majority of the people that I am working with are closer to my results, even higher. Why in the world is that you ask? Funny you should ask, because I am going to share it with you. Most people pay lipservice to what they want out of life. They are not playing on the court. You know what I mean... how many 3 point shots can you make when you're sitting in the stands? Not many, right? Now, how many 3 point shots can you make when you are standing on the court? If you're like me, you might not hit them all but your odds grow significantly (basketball is not my forte).

People are either moving towards their goals or away from their goals. I have found that the greater the emotional attachment to your goals and not to the outcome, the greater the success rate.

When it comes to goals, how are you looking at it? Someday or already achieving it? This is pretty simple & basic yet it can and does make all the difference in the world. If you look at your list of goals, did you write them down like you're leaving a list for Santa Claus? Dear Santa, please bring me a new train set - someday & and new Huffy BMX bike - someday. I was guilty of this. I think back exactly 4 years ago this week. I wrote down a list of goals for myself for 2003. The list read like this:

2003 Goals:
1. Marry Leslie
2. Make $50k more than 2002
3. Move to a house & live on the water - Lake Lanier

Did I set a date for any of this? Nope. Did I take possession of the outcome in advance of receiving it? Nope. Was I attached to any of this? Yes. I was pretty attached to marrying Leslie but other than that nope. Did any of my goals stretch my being and make my hands sweat? Nope. The guy who became my mentor was over at my house watching a bowl game & without me knowing, he drew the number 2 in front of the $50k on line 2. I discovered this towards the end of the night and made some stupid comment like yeah right, how would I do that? He said it's simple Michael; all you have to do is first make the decision and then take the action that takes you towards your goals. You have to be committed to your goals and be emotionally attached to them. Take possession of your goals in advance of receiving them. Well, let me tell you that was the dumbest answer I ever heard and the cynicism & disbelief pushed that right out of my reality. Fortunately for me I got a promotion at work that lowered my income & increased my responsibility & work load & exactly 60 days later, I was ready to take on my life, get serious about goals that stretched me to my core & guess what... I hit every goal on my board for 2003, even with his edit. Life is a choice. Are you choosing well?

Let me share something else with you. How many people have taken themselves right out of the game? Sometimes people do this even before playing. I am so guilty of this today. I played tennis with a Lisa today. I know that I am a better player than her. We started playing and all of a sudden this song starts playing in my head -> "Wow, it's been a long time since I played singles tennis, blah, blah, blah" & "this is such a different game than doubles tennis... that would have been a great shot in doubles, woulda, coulda, shoulda, didn't!!!" The first set we went back and forth, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, all the way to 5-5 and then my internal chatterbox was blaring! I lost the game mentally. Is it any surprise that I started having a hard time being present to the game? I could barely remember the score. I lost the 2nd set 6-3. Lisa did not beat me this morning, I beat myself. Do you know someone that will talk themselves out of attaining a goal or an ambition before they ever set foot on the court? Is it you?

I am committed to making 2007 my best year ever & mentoring anyone that is serious about accomplishing the same for their life in 2007.

2007 can be your best year ever… all you have to do is first make the decision & establish your goals, set a timeframe to accomplish them by and then take the action that takes you towards your goals. You have to be committed to your goals and be emotionally attached to them. Take possession of your goals in advance of receiving them.

Create a great day, you deserve it. Until next time...

DREAM BIG!!!

Currently, I am rewatching The Secret DVD

Below is my 2007 gift for you… this is something I found on the back page of my college newspaper my freshman year in 1991. It has served me well these past 16 years.

Dream Big

If there were ever a time to dare,
To make a difference,
To embark on something worth doing,
It is now.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily,
But for something that tugs at your heart,
Something that's your aspiration,
Something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself, to make your days here count.
Have fun.
Dig deep.
Stretch.

DREAM BIG

Know, though, things worth doing seldom come easy.
There will be good days,
And there will be times when you want to turn around,
Pick it up,
And call it quits.
These times tell you that you are pushing yourself,
That you are not afraid to learn by trying.

PERSIST

Because with an idea,
Determination,
And the right tools,
You can do great things.
Let your instincts,
Your intellect,
And your heart guide you.

TRUST

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
Of doing something that makes a difference.
Of working hard,
Of laughing and hoping,
Of lazy afternoons,
Of lasting friends,
Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new,
Brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible.
There is only one you,
And you will pass this way only once.
Do it right.

DREAM BIG

Holy cow, what a fast moving pace... In the past 4 days we have... gone to an all night party to hang with friends and watch the UFC fights, move into our new home, start unpacking, host a Rose Bowl party, visit the doctor's office for a weekly checkup for Leslie & the baby! Life is good. We're really enjoying our new home. This house has a great feeling to it. The babies crib gets delivered tomorrow morning & we are starting to create the nursery.

2007 - Goals or Resolutions???

Goals vs. Resolutions

With the new year rapidly approaching, now is a great time to look @ your goals! Are the choices you make taking you closer to your goals or further away? There is no in between here. Notice I am not talking about resolutions. How many resolutions have you kept in the year's past? Seriously?

A simple key to massive success is to be crystal clear in your goals. Know WHY you're here & what you have come for. Be specific. I'm talking down to the granular detail. If you desire a new car, do you know the model, the color, every option you desire, what the cost is to drive it off the lot, have you taken pictures of yourself in the driver's seat & posted it up on your dream board, set a date to pick it up & take it home? If not, get busy, you deserve it. Have you begun to use the goals portion of your new LLI Advanced Marketing website? Are your goals on your goal cards written in the present tense & do you carry them with you daily all while pulling out your card several times throughout the day & then visualizing yourself in posession of your goals? If not now, when? Someday? You deserve to have it all.

DREAM BIG!

Aloha - We're just back from Hawai'i

Hello sportsfans... Leslie & I have just returned from our recent trip to the Big Island of Hawai'i. To say we had a blast is a major understatement. We've been on 21 trips with our business since we started in March 2003 & I'll be the 1st to share this with you: This conference completely blew me away. In Hawaii I got crystal clear on how powerful I am in creating everything into my life.

Day 1 consisted of flying over from Honolulu to the Big Island. We were met at the airport by a limo & chaffeur. On the drive in it looked like we had landed on the moon. There was black lava rock as far as the eye could see. One very noticeable contrast was the white coral that tourist have collected and used to write messages & symbols throughout the island. We got to the resort, checked into our suite, unpacked our luggage & went exploring. We met up with friends & family on the beach & then went to dinner with some of our team mates.

Day 2 Leslie & I enjoyed ourselves at the pool right in front of the most magnificant ocean lagoon. We walked along the seaside, watched the dolphins swim,

When we got to the Big Island I decided that I wanted to visit & look through the telescopes on Mauna Kea, not knowing that the public is not allowed to visit the Summit, which is just under 14,000' in elevation. I shared this with intention with Brent, my brother-in-law. He is the one who kindly informed me that it was just not possible. Then he let me in on his little secret, he arranged with a small donation (more than the average American earns all year) to allow us to visit @ night & look into deep space the next evening. These telescopes can see 13.5 billion light years, which almost at the beginning of our 14 billion year old galaxy. Pretty crazy huh? I think so. More about this later.

We started day 2 with some round robin tennis. It is really fun, as we have a number of friend's within the business who also play tennis & the numbers are growing. We had roughly 14 or so people show up for tennis in the morning. After about 4 hours of tennis, we joined Bob & Lisa for lunch @ the boat landing pavillion for some lunch & watched some football (the night games were on before lunch in Hawaii). From here we cleaned up & met up with the rest of the EMC where we were chaffuered off to a private helicopter airport. We received a flight briefing and then we were off to our choppers. Now I couldn't help but think of one of my childhood favorite's - T.C. the helicopter pilot on Magnum PI, as we headed out to the flightdeck. Our helicopters were practically brand new. The locals call them the "Black Beauties".

I also got the opportunity to take on one of my fears & crush it. I have a fear of singing in
front of people. I would not even sing in front of Leslie... well, I sung in front of Leslie, not to mention 2200+ people. That is not a typo. Two Thousand two hundred plus people heard me sing (if you want to call it that.) Now I had to get over the fear of looking good/looking bad & quickly. One of our keynote speakers was speaking on the topic of the rhythm of life. She asked for volunteers to join her on stage & immediately Leslie & I jump out of our seats and run up. Who is this guy in my body doing this? She has us dancing & playing drums... all 2200+ of us are doing it. Next thing I know she hands the microphone to Leslie & she's now leading all of us. After several minutes, Leslie turns and hands the microphone to Mr. Tone Deaf (Me) & the world stopped spinning on it's axis for what seemed like a century. Bump , Bump, - Bump, my heart went... what will all these people think when I start singing? I tried to stall... I asked Leslie what are the words? And then I just started singing. Now, I'm not saying it was pleasant to the ears. I SUNG! It felt great & once I started I realized that I can do this.

Our website just got a Million dollar make-over!

We've just given our website a $1 million facelift.

Driver, take us to Tucson please...

Leslie & I joined with several friends and rented a limo to go to another party celebrating a life of abundance & prosperity. We were joined by other home business owners both for the ride & at the party. This is an annual party we have never missed. The weather was pretty rough leaving Scottsdale & we were all glad to be underway. Ross & Corrina surprised us all with a full lunch on the road. Once there, we enjoyed a day of fun, sun & fellowship. Several of the attendees will be shooting it out tomorrow with a chance to win a brand new Mercedes S 550 & a Porsche 911 (Not mine!)

We're moving on up...

Leslie & I just got notice that we've been approved for our new home's financing! To say we're excited is an understatement. It seems like so long ago that we were living in a 2 bedroom apartment with a prestine view of our local Wal-Mart shopping center & our complex's 5 story parking deck. Three & a half years & EVERYTHING has changed. Now we're house hunting for a $1.5 million dollar dream home. Our baby will only know a life of prosperity without limits. If I think back, I can remember how different my childhood was from the life I am living now. Life is a choice...choose well.

Sedona, AZ @ "The Castle" w/ some of our friends

Another testiment to a life filled with Abundance & Prosperity... We joined our friend's Brian & Rhonda from San Diego, CA in their Sedona, AZ home called "The Castle" for a weekend celebrating our life. We were joined by Dr. Sam & Daniella from Oahu, Hawaii. Sam's buddy Aaron flew his plane from Deer Valley, AZ to Sedona for the weekend. I've got to get myself a plane! In less than 3 days, we will be together again in Tucson. This time, instead of driving we'll be in a 20+ passenger limo for the ride... See "ya'll" in Tucson
