Sample Speech for All -- part three
Now, put that mirrow down and close your eyes. THE YEAR IS 2042. See yourself (your invisible dependent) for real in 2042. You know you are the same person -- just grayer and a bit older but inside, you are still the same.
(while reading the next part of the presentation, speaker takes out a gray wig and puts it on so when they open their eyes again, you will have aged 30 years also)
You have changed but only in physical appearance. Keep your eyes closed. It is the morning of _Use today's date ie (november 7th) 2042 and you are in your home and have just dressed for a meeting. You are standing in your foyer and feel the hardness of the floor under your feet. In your pocket, are your glasses. However these glasses have another use -- there is a switch on the side of these glasses that projects your computer screen and you type using your fingertips in the air. You reach into your pocket to take out your glasses but darn, they tumble to the floor and shatter. Darn, you tell yourself, that will cost about 2 grand to replace -- and you know you are out of touch with everyone until you get your replacement. Well no time to figure that all out now, you need to get to your meeting. In your driveway is your car that drives itself onyour command. You get in the car, speak the location and the car starts driving. But something is amiss -- a bug in the system? the driving is erratic and the next thing you know you are in a crumpled car in front of a tree. You are not sure if you have injuries but you are calm and wait for help. Help comes and since you don't want to miss your meeting, they deliver you to this room. Take a deep breath, you made it.
We are still in 2042 as I ask you to slowly open your eyes and only look at me (not your neighbor or friends) (they look and laugh because you have a gray wig on)
Speaker says, "Wow, you are having quite a day, please sit down".
Now look at the nail in front of you on the table. Look at the nail you inherited from who was sitting in your seat 30 years ago.
That person was a necessity thinker UNTIL THEY MET YOU and it was something that you said in a letter to them that shifter their perception about the nail. What you said prompted them to become part of a movement -- be part of those involved in a paradign shift, that changed your life.
You want to thank them. Thank them because they realized that the nail was money and their relationship with money.
Pick up that nail -- feel it's energy. They realized 30 years ago while holding this nail that it could cause pain or that they could use the nail (money and their relationship with money) to build a new relationship which lead to what you are experiencing today. Because of their paradign shift, you can feel calm in any situation and know all is well.
Yes, it is 2042 and in front of you is a piece of paper. It is the message you will Write today: November 7, 2042 that will make all the difference in the world. Sit down, take the next 5 minutes and do the following.
After TO write the name of the person who 30 years ago made the decision to make a shift --- your first name
Date: write todays date November 7th 2042.
After the words: FROM you invisible dependent, make a little mark or symbol, something that makes a difference to you -- it could be your signiture, or a happy face or anything you wish. Just a small mark that shows you were here.
You see that the subject of this letter is I THANK YOU FOR TAKING ACTION On ________________ 2010 or 2011 or 2012. write in todays date and circle the year 30 years ago.
Underline that sentence.
Now start -- write whatever was important that you conveyed for this person to read so they knew that you appreciate how they took care and recognized you. Tell them about your deep gratitude for who they are and what they did for you that allowed you to live in a place of financial peace and having great knowledge of the true wealth in your life. Here are a few things that were in my letter as an example. (put up on screen) (I will leave you all in free thought -- which means just start writing and let it flow. There is no right or wrong, just start writing as fast as you can to tell the person what you want them to know. This is your chance to say what will be necessary to help them know you are on their side and are proud of who they are and what they are capable of doing.
Here is what I wrote (I am long winded) I will give you one minute to read mine as an example and start to formulate what you want to say. During that minute you may even want to jot down some ideas you have.
Ok, now we are ready. I ask everyone in the room to remain silent when they have completed their letter until the 5 minutes are up.
Now are you ready? Start -- you have up to 5 minutes awith your thoughts for 5 minutes)

Take a break then continue with other parts of the presentation (if you have time to do the variety of additional topics we have OR wrap up.
Does anyone want to share what it was like?
One piece we will probably want to touch on is jumping in and the story of grasping the nettle. (thanks to Yan Ross for the idea below)
Grasp the nettle
Meaning
To tackle a difficult problem boldly.
Origin
This little figure of speech is known wherever Urtica Dioica, the Stinging Nettle, is commonplace, which covers most of the English-speaking world. The figurative advice to be bold and 'grasp the nettle' derives from the property of the plant to inject toxins into the skin of any person or animal who brushes against its stiff, hollow hairs. If the plant is grasped firmly, especially if that is done in the direction the hairs are growing, the hairs tend to be pushed flat and avoid penetrating the skin.
Nettles favour disturbed ground and consequently are often found near human habitation. Fortunately, the antidote to nettle stings is found in the leaves of Dock, which also grows on disturbed soil and is usually to be found near nettles.
The property of the plant was well enough known by the 16th century for John Lyly to have included a reference to it in Euphues, 1578:
"True it is Philautus that he which toucheth ye nettle tenderly, is soonest stoung."
Aaron Hill's Works, circa 1750, contains the first example that I can find that advises that a nettle be grasped:
"Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you, for your pains: Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains."
WRAP UP:
I want to leave you with four important pieces.
1. Today is November 7th 2010. Let's start with standing in todays reality. Please stand up. (do circle within the circle discussion). Take your nail as the symbol of money and your relationsip with money. You decide how to use it -- softly threading around it being afraid to look at your relationship with it-- trying to ignore it (but brushing up against it and having it cause pain at times) , or using it for the purpose it was designed for -- to help you build your wealth and serve your wealth.
2. I leave you with knowledge about your invisible dependent. And the symbol your precious letter that was written by him or her. Please remember me to him or her when the time comes.
3. I leave you with a path -- steps to living and building your wealth filled life. You have directions if you want -- they are located inside that envelope. You get to the path by using the code to find your real WHEN-Score (provided for you free) and to get to additional free advice and materials to help you along the way.
