Recently, a good friend of mine admitted that he was gay. Well he didn’t actually admit it outright, although he did clearly hint at it openly and jokingly. It was rather refreshing to see him breaking down some social barriers that surround us at varying heights throughout our lives. What’s amazing is I recall thinking, and have always felt, “whatever”! I love the guy and hope that he is a part of my life until the end. That message was crystal clear, unbiased, coming directly from my soul…
So it started me thinking about the whole concept of Read More...
Kicking off 2010, I’m inspired to share with you one of the best-kept secrets at Freedom Personal Development.
You may have attended one of our live workshops or read articles from our instructors. You’ve heard the stories about how our staff has accomplished some mind-blowing results in the past. To list a few they have:
- Wiped out 30K of credit card debt in a year
- Broken sales records that stood for 10 years
- Completed the Iron Man
- Stopped Smoking and/or kicked other addictions
- Lost 30 lbs and kept it off permanently
I could go on and on…
People wonder how they are able to do these things. And in almost every instance, they did it Read More...
I recently received this email from a friend that asked me how to live a life of freedom and be successful. I wanted to share it with our blog readers since I feel his question and circumstances are what many people find themselves in.
I would be happy to answer any of your questions on living the life of your dreams. Simply post a comment below.

How are you Eric? I’m glad that you added me on Facebook. I frequently visit your website and also check your Facebook.
You’re just amazing Eric . Since we met on Mariner of the Seas, about 2 years ago….I read a lot of books. I found Read More...
This past weekend my wife and kids were off on a little vacation, so I knew I’d have the entire weekend, Friday afternoon through Sunday evening, at my disposal. So what do you imagine I did? That’s right, I got to spend the weekend working on my yard! And I must say, I enjoyed it immensely. The experience was both necessary and cathartic, and I took some lessons from it that I thought you might find useful.
1. Something to look Forward to is Great for Your Attitude
This weekend had been set up about 6 weeks ago. So I knew for quite some time that this weekend was happening, and though a weekend of landscaping may not sound like your ideal way to spend a couple free days, I Read More...
The staff at Freedom Personal Development just finished reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and absolutely loved it. We highly recommend that everyone buy or borrow a copy (I have lent my copy out numerous times.) We loved it so much in fact, we are now reading the Read More...
Freedom Personal Development’s president and CEO, Eric Plantenberg, was interviewed last week by Joe Abraham on Blog Talk Radio.
Jay wanted to know how you can run a successful business and not let it run you.
As a business owner, Eric is a prime example of an entrepreneur that has walked the talk of not letting your business run your life. He has had the freedom to take months away from his business to travel the world while still maintaining an impressive record of sales growth. He shares a system for dismantling stress and living a life of freedom.

Simplicity allows you to move through life more easily, more quickly and with much greater enjoyment. I learned this through thousands of miles of hiking.
In long distance hiking, the goal is clear – walk from here to there. Your ability to achieve that goal with ease, comfort and safety is dramatically affected by the load you choose to carry.
Many hikers carry gear that is seldom used, contributes little value and mostly just adds weight to their packs. Over time I learned to reduce my pack weight so that everything I need to be safe and comfortable (including food and water) for 5 days weighs about 30 pounds. If I replace some old equipment, I can easily reduce that to 20-25 pounds. I know hikers Read More...
Not many things feel as good as experiencing the perfect day. You know the feeling, when everything seems to just go right. I know some of you reading this are thinking… “how about the perfect hour” that would be a good start.
The thing about the perfect day that is important to understand is that they don’t happen by accident. Many times it seems like an accident, but in reality there are a couple of things that happen when everything just seems to go right.
For starters, the perfect day almost always has at least one, if not several moments that are highly Read More...
Many people have talked with me recently about getting motivated when they don’t feel like it or when they are having a bad day. If you have ever wondered that then read on.
There are many ways to get yourself motivated. Anyone who has listened to Tony Robbins have learned about changing your state, specifically using your physiology, your focus, and your language. And because the “state” that you are currently “in” is determined by those three forces, if you change any of those three then you will change your “state”.
For example if you are feeling sad you might feel “down” and usually, you will droop your shoulders a little and your Read More...
