Greetings!
 For everyone in the United States, I want to wish you a happy Fourth of July! I have always loved fireworks and I hope that everyone has an enjoyable holiday weekend.
This month, in MaxLife News, it is my pleasure to introduce everyone to Andrea Adams-Miller. She is a good friend and she has been an inspiration to watch as she positively affects businesses and people around the world. She recently returned from a trip from France and I have asked her to share with us the meaning and lessons she learned from that trip. I know that you'll enjoy it!
I had a lot of fun writing my article this month entitled "When Mistakes Create Fortunes". So many times, we think that making mistakes is bad. In reality, it's only by knowing what doesn't work that we can uncover what does. I hope you find this article helpful as we launch into the second half of 2011. If you would like to learn more about how to use mistakes to your benefit, the Group Coaching members call on July 12th will be dedicated to this subject. To find out more about how you can be on the call, click here.
As we enter the second half of the year, I hope you are energized to create phenomenal results for yourself and those that you love.
To Your Success,

When Mistakes Create Fortunes
 by Gary Barnes, Gary Barnes InternationalOne of the most common statements that I hear from my business coaching clients and from people when they greet me after one of my speeches is " I can't make any more mistakes, they are costing me too much money!"I have thought about this statement over the years since it is so common and wondered if it was true. I decided to do some research about how many mistakes there had been that have created a tremendous amount of money. First, I think it would be helpful to define what a mistake is. For the purpose of this article, a mistake is any outcome that was not originally intended. So, with that in mind, here are a few of the products that made it big ...

The Romance of France After Returning Home from the Most Exclusive Wine Lover's Tour
When I shared with my good friend, Gary Barnes, how reintegration back into reality shocked my senses, he asked me to share my excitement with all of you! You see, I just returned from the most exclusive fantasy vacation throughout France's wine vineyards last week. This unbelievable trip took me from some of the finest wine chateaus in the French countryside to the breathtaking views of the Eiffel tower in Paris. Each day surrounded by beauty, I felt so appreciative of the rewards resulting from my life's work! Each stop along the wine countryside literally took my breath away as I took in all the rich historical sites, the delightful new friendships, and the exquisite tastes of the French culture. Each day of my fantasy wine tour vacation, I felt like a princess, and I swore I could come home completely satisfied that I had reached the epiphany of nirvana - only to have the next day or the next location top my expectations again!
Delighting in the historical chateaus, I was thrilled to start my trip in Bordeaux, after a short flight from Paris, to linger through Beaujolais, Beaune, and Burgundy. The wine tastings commenced at the most prestigious Chateaus such as Chateau de la Chaize, Chateau Pichon Longueville, Chateau Canon La Gaffeliere, and Castle Poudenas. We were additionally privileged to see the grandest of all chateaus including Château Lafite Rothschild and Romanee Conti! While all of the vineyards caught my attention, Castle Poudenas captured my heart as I stood overlooking a village on the terrace of this magnificent castle extending over 2.5 acres which has been standing since the 16th century. It was at this point, I realized that all the passion I put into my business had come full circle. My eyes welled with tears, as I toasted the life I was meant to lead. While it tugged my heart to leave this magical place, I was excited to finish the tour with a Bullet train ride to Paris where we toured the Eiffel Tower only to land in the most luxurious resting spot at the famous Le Grand Hotel.
 
As a leading authority in healthy relationships and healthy sexuality, I was astonished at how the atmosphere highlighted love, romance, and intimacy! I imagined how I would love to share this experience with friends, clients, and peers in the future, so that they could experience the excitement, the love, and the passion of such a luxury romantic vacation. All I could think about was sharing the most romantic secret that I had ever come to reveal - the romance of France! Definitely, the French countryside air, the wine, and the romance of the French culture lifted such intimacy and passion! You couldn't help but fall deeper in love again than you ever did before!
Other lovely highlights of the trip included the development of new friendships as we dined with Barons and Baronesses, and Counts and Countesses of the private historic chateaus, castles, homes, and flats which are never open to the general public! The French hospitality was magnificent with the hosts so endearing and so engaging as they invited us to tour their homes and extending the privileges to go behind the scenes of their particular method of French wine making. Seeing their passion for the art of wine was so uplifting and informative! I literally hung on every word they said as they described the respect for the land, the vine, and the wine making process. Being a wine novice, I was enthralled when my personal friend and host, Yves De Boisredon, the Baron of Wine, a real authentic French Baron, quickly educated me on the nuances of color, scent, taste, and vintage of wine. After the very intriguing wine tasting sessions, I was invited to utilize my new skills to evaluate and sample the BEST in quality of French wines!
As the CEO & Founder of www.SexualityTutor.com, I was so pleased with the rare opportunity to go on such a romantic trip. I couldn't help but plead with my dear friend, Baron Yves De Boisredon, for permission to go back to France this September during the harvesting season, so I may relive the ultimate wine fantasy during the fall to experience the reward of the harvest. I can't wait to see the grapes fully ripening; the rich color explosion on the vines! And I would love to share my experience with you. If you would like to see video and photo highlights of the experience, or maybe if are interested in going yourself, then click this word "France" to take a virtual visit!
Bonjour!
