For the first time ever, Dan Pena’s “Live at the Harvard Club MP3″ is now being given away for free. Pena QLA products usually come with very expensive price tags and are out of budget range for junior executives or middle management. His seminars alone have been priced at $15,000 and his books have been sold for $400.00 making it the most expensive book written in the 21st century. This wealth guru specializes in training CEO’s, Chairmen, and Company Presidents. He has worked with Global 25 CEO’s for many years. Now is your chance to get hold of a premier QLA product. This is a rare opportunity to receive something free from Pena. He has believed and taught since 1993 there is a definite “pay price to action” for all achievement in life and business. But with the Holidays approaching, he has decided to make this his free gift to entrepreneurs and CEO’s alike.

Dan Peña’s electrifying keynote address presented at the renowned New York City Harvard Club addresses the necessity of focus in the QLA methodology and becoming a high-performance individual. Although filmed by CNN, his blistering attack on one of New York City’s major banks and it‘s credit policies made it too hot for television and CNN decided not to air it. Considered by some as his best speech to date, his sometimes gut-wrenching “be all you can be” life-changing lessons is not for everyone.
Peña stresses these four key points in “Live at the Harvard Club” – #1 you will discover the number one reason why you aren’t making the money you’re truly capable of #2 How to practice no-limit thinking #3 how to free yourself from any ideas that hold you back and #4 the importance of paying yourself first. Discover the proven formula that creates fortunes for tycoons, millionaires and billionaires.

Time is speeding by and it’s already Thanksgiving.  There is a chill in the air and I still don’t have a job.  The good news is that I’ve cleaned out my sock drawer.  And I found every birthday card my mother every gave me.  What do I do with these memories?  I used to take her to the Harvard club for Thanksgiving dinner.  It was our tradition.  We would get drunk on Cosmos sitting by the picture of Helen Keller.  The last two years were really rough.  She was angry, yelling in the dining room.  I was just pissed I had to do it.  But it really didn’t occur to me that time runs out…

So now I’m watching the  parade on TV and I’m gearing myself for visiting my mother, who is now living in her bed.

When things are crumbling, I guess we must be grateful for the pieces!  We are blessed to have this day.  I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving!

“It happens to be a matter of record that I was first in print with the discovery that the tastelessness of the food offered in American clubs varies in direct proportion to the exclusiveness of the club” wrote Calvin Trillin. And while it may be true (despite the brown-sugared bacon bits at The Raquet Club in Saint Louis), the fact is we don’t join clubs for the food.

Algonquin Club, Boston.

We once joined clubs for social standing, but with even Augusta National memberships on the market today, money is a much better key to the clubhouse than it once was. Still, social pretense was only ever the backdrop to the private club’s main draw: a relaxed, friendly environment, removed from worldly pressures, in which members could count on one another’s manners, loyalty, and taste. In today’s reality-television world, such escape into manners and taste is all the more necessary and, ironically, less-attainable: few are able to duck out for martini lunches at the club anymore.

And so, since we can’t repair to the club at our leisure, we can at least bring part of it to us: presented here, a brief tour of some of the notables. Unfortunately absent: The New York Athletic Club and the Yale Club.

During the last Yale Club speed dating event, Lightload Towels were passed out to the female and male attendees. Other clubs particularly the Williams Club, Princeton Club, Harvard Club, Penn Club and Cornell Club attended the event too. Everyone had a great time and the lightload Towels were a hit.

Lightload towels make travel so much easier. The beach towels are the only ones in the world that  fit  right into a pocket. They are more absorbent than cotton and  quicker drying. Our smaller towels are the only hand towels that are also survival tools. These are such great space savers that you can fit 10 in a pocket and still have room for keys and money.
