Somewhere around 9am, Joe Niego and I rode bicycles to his office on a brisk Chicago day. It was a great set up for a very productive day working on content together.

I love this weather - it reminds me of growing up in Ireland. It's really the perfect season for doing Pop-Bys to your best clients...just like Joe and I will be doing this week in Dallas when we bring the Turning Point to town and then follow it up with a big old tailgate party at SMU the next day. Don't forget to tune into the Members-only webcast next Tuesday morning when I'll be talking about how you can leverage the holiday season in your business.

It's a good life!

Brian and Joe

Things move quickly here at Buffini & Company. We recently moved into our new facility in Carlsbad, California. It's a state of the art building that we took time to shape to the team's needs, but now we are settled into our new home as if we were here all along. 2012 has been a great year for Buffini & Company. Our brand new training program, Peak Producers, is something the whole team is very proud of. More than 9000 agents across North America have averaged 12 transactions during the 12 weeks of the program. Our new CRM, ReferralMaker, has just launched and is being used in record numbers. Events like MasterMind and the Peak Experience are sold out with people on waiting lists for both these events and for our One2One Coaching program.

Why do I tell you all this? Because we are walking the walk.

All those things our Business Coaches hold you accountable to in your business are the very things we do here at Buffini & Company. We build relationships, provide value, exceed expectations and ask for referrals. I try my best to be a good example... if Buffini & Company can demonstrate profitability in tougher times then that hopefully shines a light for you in your business too.

We're all in it to win so let's keep up the momentum many of you are beginning to enjoy in your business.

It's a good life!

Well here we are...it's official. Buffini & Company has a brand new home. And we love it!

The team involved in the design, building and outfitting of this new facility have a lot to be proud of. They've worked tirelessly and ahead of schedule so we could be in our new home on time and in ship shape. And our staff have a lot to be thankful for. Myself included. From the moment you walk through the doors you get the sense that this place is something special. There's a renewed buzz around the building and our staff are excited to be in their new headquarters.

If you're ever in San Diego or if you live close by, Pop-By for a visit of the new pad - it still has that 'new car' smell!

It's a good life!

Today is the launch of the second of our three annual lead-generation Blitz programs, the Summertime Surge. I hope you're enrolled! Visit the Members' Area of our website to get going and good luck. You guys know how to move mountains. And with the Blitzmaster himself, Joe Niego, you'll get your summer off to a great start.

It's a good life!

As I prepare for the Peak Experience event here in San Diego this week one thing that won't be on my mind is politics. Yes, it can feel almost impossible to shield yourself from the onslaught of reporting, analysis and endless commentary but it is not impossible to control how much of that media gets your mindshare.

Too often we fall prey to stories designed to capture our attention. They can ruin our day, throw us off course and sap the very energy we need for our work. I'm not saying 'turn off your TV/radio and opt out'...but I am saying that you need to be very careful with what you allow in. Good stuff in...good stuff out.

You're the number one asset in your business. Take care of yourself.

It's a good life!

Joe Niego and myself are putting the finishing touches to this year's Peak Experience. Every year this is my favorite event to attend. I always look forward to it and without fail I have an experience or breakthrough that has a long-lasting impact on my life or on our business.

We develop content and design the event in such a way that attendees experience positive, accelerated change and growth - and I can tell you, this year will be no different. You'll discover how to run your business at an elite level while you synergize and connect with the industry's best.

The event is not for everyone and we only have a few seats left so check it out and see if three days in an intimate setting with Joe Niego, myself and some special guests is for you!

It's a good life!

Brian

Here's hoping you had a happy and peaceful time with family, friends and loved ones this Labor Day.

I'm looking forward to taking this quarter by storm with you guys. Let's get geared up for a great Autumn together and set up 2012 to be our best year yet.

It's a good life!

As with most emigrants who leave home and family behind, it’s only when you are gone do you fully appreciate and recognize the support and encouragement family represents. And I was no different.

As a young lad I was eager to travel and seek my fortune. The excitement of a new country and culture coupled with my drive and ambition kept me moving full steam ahead. But I never forgot where I came from. And that has sustained me greatly through the years.

Along the way I’ve sought solace and advice in the many things my father taught me. And as you well know, our company is founded on the principles of service and exceeding expectations that my dad and his dad before him instilled in all of us.

We can always do with reaching out for help, looking to others for advice and learning from those who’ve gone before.

 Are there things your father taught you that could help you today? Are there truisms your mother passed on that could do with a dust off? Are there principles that someone influential in your life shared with you that you could use to get through a challenge or a tough time? I know this much…things my father taught me help me all the time!

It’s a good life!

When Joe Niego and I designed the Blitz programs to help you create immediate results for your business, we took into account the rhythm of the market, the seasonality of the business and the demands sales professionals face. And the results from participants have been staggering.

With each passing Blitz program you guys take it to the next level. Just four weeks into the Summertime Surge, you've written 95,756 notes, made 110,710 calls, and 63,319 Pop-Bys leading to 8,139 referrals received so far. Inspiring and admirable!

It's a good life!

Getting ready for our MasterMind Summit in August...Back to the Future! We've done this event for many years and I can safely say that it will be the best MasterMind yet.

The content is moving and inspiring me and I literally cannot wait to get dug into it with you guys. Dave Ramsey and Jon Gordon will be bringing the goods for their sessions, and the great Tim Hawkins has a kick-off show that will have you rolling.

We'll bring Napoleon Hill to life in a way that will be life-changing for you and really, all I can is this: If you haven't already registered, do so today. There are only a couple of hundred seats left. I want you there.

It's a good life!
