We hear a lot about people saying, "We'd like to hear from more people who have experienced some of our events, LifePlan, StratPlan." We have somebody who has been through both on today's show.

Brent Van Haren is joining us today to talk about the impact that LifePlan and StratPlan has had on his family and business.

I wanted to talk a lot about LifePlan, but since Brent went through StratPlan as well, I wanted to know what the experience was like for StratPlan. So I asked.

"That's a good question. StratPlan was pretty powerful for us in our business. I think I told you afterwards in the first couple of months afterwards that it was by far the most impactful thing that I've been a part of in the business. I've been there about 8 years.

It has helped change our direction, changed our understanding of who we are. It's really allowed us to focus on what we need to rather than just what we thought we should." For anyone who's out there, there's a lot of people listening, business owners, leaders, individuals, stay at home moms, that have not gotten around to doing LifePlan. "I'll get it. I need to, yeah, I need to do that. Ah, I'll get ...." That is one of the things that we hear a lot is people saying, "You know, I know I've needed to do this for 2 years." What would you say to them about getting in?

"My dad has been through LifePlan, my brother. I have been through LifePlan. It changes generations. It's going to change Addie. She's going to have more awareness for her children, or the people that are close to her in her life. It has a long lasting impact. I would never have realized these.

There's just nothing else in my life I ever would have encountered that would've helped me see that. To have that big of an impact, is pretty amazing. That's where some people do have a lot of anxiety, or concern about the experience, about the 2 days that LifePlan is. I just try to really look at the big picture, 2 days of discomfort, I'll say, is worth a lifetime of better choices, and better understanding, and better decisions. For me, it's a no brainer to invest the time, and the money, and the effort, and the discomfort to come out on the other side so different and so aware. It's amazing."
