Working with Townsend is a life changing experience.

​​Instead of waking up to a world of challenges, hard work, and problems; I wake up to a world filled with infinite possibilities and fun. In areas of my life where I was holding back, in doubt about what I wanted or should do next; I am now unstoppable and free from fear and doubt.

​This work is the ultimate gift anyone can give themselves.

Working with Townsend has tied together every “personal development” book, podcast, youtube video, course, and silent meditation retreat that I’ve consumed or experienced in the past 5+ years. I’ve been able to connect dots in every area of my life that have made everything more effortless and enjoyable. Everything is easier, every relationship is better, and my ability to create my life rather than report on it has been unlocked.

Ultimately there are no words, there is only the experience - I recognize it would be difficult to have a conversation even with my slightly younger self to tell him just how transformational it would be to work with Townsend. This journey is absolutely not for everybody, but if you have even an inkling that it might be for you... remember this is your life; it’s not a dress rehearsal.

I was struggling to find my worth which in turn was affecting my relationship. I wanted to find a different way to handle those thoughts.

I learned that I like to be in control, I am an emotional thinker, and I am not comfortable with my body. But I also learned that those are all okay, and how to shift my being to not focus on those as a negative, but work with them.

As a result of our this work I have experienced a transformation in my relationships with others (personal and professional) as well as my relationship with my myself

I have learned patience, how to be kind to myself and accept the things I cannot change. I learned how to shift my being and create commitments.

Before this work, I was looking for peace of mind and a way to make sense of everything. I wanted to learn how to handle work stress, how to handle customers, how to reach my full potential, how to understand my purpose, and how to change my life to make myself better.

This work showed me anything is possible. It taught me how to look at myself self and change my being!

I now have the tools to navigate my life and be my true self. I see I don’t need to have negativity in my life to get shit done. I don’t need to control everything, I am everything! 

This experience has transformed every aspect of my life, work family, friends , and health…. literally everything.  Life is better everywhere.

Every aspect of my life has benefitted from my transformation. At home there is less frustrations and anger from not trying to control everything. At work,  I have gained a better perspective of who I am at work and the confidence to get to where I want to go. With friends, I have more compassion and understanding of who they are and appreciate our relationship. With my health, I feel better about my life, I now have the tools to succeed which brings me peace.

I was looking to create balance and a greater degree of intentionality in my life, optimizing how I spend my time and energy to be the best version of myself. 

I learned how sneaky some of my personal blocks are. I have been tremendously successful in a variety of areas but was continuously surprised by the internal resistance when it came to consistently showing up and doing the work. While I have done a great deal of work on myself over the years, it became clear to me that I had only just scratched the surface, and the depth and breadth of this work will be never ending if I’m willing to continue peeling that onion. 

I am finding new ways to hold myself accountable and to not avoid the recognition of places where I have not held myself accountable. Rather than letting myself off the hook or making excuses, I am finding new ways to recognize where I am not honoring my being without involving negative self talk or shaming.

My journey with Townsend (both his coaching and teachings he’s guided me towards) has led me to several deep realizations and changes that will not only form the foundation of how I live the rest of my life, but will impact my family as I help my sons create themselves as limitless, loving, and deserving. 

Over the last few months I’ve come to see how commitment and creation should be showing up in my life. How integrity and my word were loose concepts I thought I got, but not really foundationally consistent in how I lived. How love was an offering only for those closest to me. How expectations can ruin so many great moments, when agreements could have enhanced them. How often I created my limitations instead of creating the world I wanted (personally and professionally). How often the unuseful thoughts of the personal mind were robbing me of joy. And the tools to bring all of that into minute by minute awareness into my life. 

What has come from that is a man who lives with a higher standard for himself and sees where he is not, and where he can create himself to be much much more. My self imposed ceilings I had always placed on myself without knowing it, are melting away. Opportunity is more visible and tangible than it has ever been. Life is there to be created fully, not just reacted to.

Also I’ve become a better husband and I can see the next level Father I was trying to be and now am. I’m doing daily work (in moments big and small) with my sons to notice, understand, and embody the same principles I am learning. They’ve got a better Dad, and they already had a pretty good one.

In some deeper areas of pain in my life I’ve gotten clarity on how I held relationships and where my resistances were coming from. Those have been eye opening, healing and have given me peace where I didn’t have it before.

And I’ve embraced forgiveness for my judgments, for myself and for others. Perhaps the greatest gift of all. 

If you find yourself feeling resistance in your life, whether it be with your family, your profession, or your own direction/integrity, you owe it to yourself and those around you to have a conversation with Townsend and see where you can have more. And if you are even ready to create it. Sometimes we are not ready. 

Being great in all of these parts of your life is not a place to arrive to, but a place to come from. From the commitment comes the creation.

I don’t think I was necessarily looking for something or thought something was missing. Honestly, I was excited for something I’ve never experienced before, especially with the allure of transformation. I want to grow and push myself towards a better future, and I’m not turning down that invitation.  

This experience taught me to forgive myself. With that forgiveness came understanding of what I’ve been through and respect for where I am going. I have a history of depression and so easily judge and critique myself for not being enough or deserving, and that creates a really insecure and cautious person. Focusing on my being helped me find the power in creating myself rather than ruminating on the un-useful thoughts that support those depressive cycles. I was able to acknowledge my growth that I never allowed myself to previously.

The biggest impact so far has been on my relationships and reconnecting with people I’ve lost touch with. There’s more kindness, support, and time to enjoy each other.

I now have a very intentional and positive mindset. I am constantly thinking of direction and growth, and being a better me! I found the most valuable aspect being able to acknowledge the thoughts that are creating our being and using them as a tool for growth. The pessimist I was would have never thought of those as an opportunity.

When Townsend and I first connected, even though I’m viewed as somebody that is successful, specially if you count my upbringing, I was just thinking “Is this it?” Did I peak (in high school)?’It was a feeling of overall discontentment and feeling a bit lost and not enjoying much if anything about my life. I found life dull overall. I also used to recall my ‘years of struggle’ with fondness and after working with Townsend I realized that my ‘years of struggle’ were actually my most intense years of creation.

The main insight for me was how life is exactly what we create it top be and creation is done via our commitments. We explored how that works and how you can slip out and in of commitments all the time and how to be conscious of it, so ever since I’m working continuously to not be out of commitment with what I’m pursuing.

After this work, I can truly say I am way more conscious of my thoughts, emotions and commitments, as well as my creation, what I have created so far and what the possibilities are. I have also been through a very debilitating physical condition which used to disable me for one or two weeks every other month. The main reason for the condition is accumulated stress, constant carrying of tension and being unaware of your bodily responses to external stressors.

This work allowed me to better understand my thought / emotion response by stressors and it helped me manage my bodily, unconscious response and bring it to the conscious level. I have also committed to work on it every day and have been over a month with no symptoms at all and I intend to keep it that way. I have also learned how I am my word and that I should always honor my word, and how to clean my mess when I’m not.

Some very interesting things happened during our work together that are hard to explain. For example I received a job offer during the period we worked together, the offer was very good and promising but it all generated a lot of questions and self doubt and one day when I was thinking “I wonder what Townsend would advise in this situation’ not even 1 minute after I got a text from him saying something along the lines ‘Hey how are you, just checking on you’ we talked and he was fundamental in helping me figure out how to decide, which I did and don’t regret my choice one bit. With that being considered I’d still say the most valuable aspect of our work together was to make me more aware of my thoughts, emotions and was I am creating for my life, as well as what the possibilities are - spoiler alert - infinite!

This work showed me I have much more power and influence over myself and my situation than I ever realized. The concept of creating myself is beautifully simple, and absolutely meaningful for myself and those around me.

I can embrace things about myself that have been effective, but not energizing. And I get to pick what I want to improve. For example I can make progress on the tasks that need to get done around my home but without letting these things drain me.  I also have a sense of superiority – that I have to be correct, though I have tried to hide this behind a desire to be polite and ‘nice’. Being correct is good and powerful, but I can also assume I’m correct when I’m not. Furthermore my believing I’m right is useless on it’s own.

The transformation I am most proud and happy with is my relationship with my wife. My wife has told me she has seen the change in my outlook, my energy, and how I choose to interact with her and the world. She appreciates this change and is glad I was able to participate in this experience.

I have personally noticed a change in my work life. My interactions with customers are more meaningful for myself, my organization, and my customers. Within my organization, I have been able to work more effectively with my peers and with my subordinates.

I am more energized and eager to get a start and make continuing progress on what I want in my own life.

My biggest take-away from our time together is the ability to have a meaningful ‘conversation’ with myself. There is so much talk of ‘positive thinking’ or ‘self improvement’, but to me the concept of really understanding where thoughts come from and making the subtle changes where the work needs to happen is a game changer.

Changing your life sounds hard. Turns out it’s not and the game is more fun when you can play by your own rules.

I wouldn't say that there was anything missing when we first connected. I have always felt like I was behind. I felt like I didn't make enough money and that I wasn’t processing in my career as quickly as I thought I should be in my head. There were also things that I had spoken to Townsend and my sister Luisa about that had really peaked my interest on way I could take control of creating my life. 

I learned that I have the power to create life everyday however I want to. With my words, my actions and thinking. Life is meant to be created not just lived. I learned that my circumstances on the outside don't affect whats going on inside me unless I let them, and that what people say and do has nothing to do with me but rather a reflection of what might be going on in them. I also learned to listen to and see what I am creating everyday and if I don't like it, I am the only one that can change it. 

I experienced a personal transformation. I am happier everyday because I choose to and the days that I don't wake up happy, I say my declaration to myself and remind myself that I create my reality. I have also learned to enjoy my journey because I will get where I want to go when I am supposed, but the ride will be a lot more enjoyable if I enjoy the journey instead of wondering everyday why I am not there yet. 

My outlook on everything has shifted. And one of the most valuable outcome was my declaration. Its a reminder everyday of how blessed I am and how I want to create myself and others. I know that the personal change will change and accelerate my career as well. It has already started.

I was looking to be able to be happy, free and to enjoy life.

I learned creating new habits require constant work to break and replace old habits. You can’t stop working on yourself and expect old habits to go away.

As a result of this work, I have become mindful of how I interact with people around me and how I interact with myself. As a result I have notice a shift in how people interact with me.

I truly see I don’t need to be in control of my future to be happy, to enjoy myself, and to be free. All I need is to be present.

I joined this experience because I wanted help growing my startup company. I was struggling with having meaningful conversations with new clients. This led to feelings of fear. I was worried I would lose everything (all the things) and be bankrupt. Then my family would hate me and leave me too.

This work created a perspective shift that took away the fear of failing and letting my family down.

My relationship with money changed too. Instead of saying, “How do I make more money and keep it?” I say, “I make as much money as I want, whenever I want, effortlessly.” And it has started to happen. It’s crazy. More and more opportunities are coming into my business almost unsolicited! I have no fears around money.

One of the biggest shifts for me is thanking my unuseful (negative), thoughts. With this work I realized that those thoughts made me the man I am today. I now celebrate the fact that my high school English teacher called me stupid in front of the class. Without that experience I’m not sure I would have tried so hard to not look “stupid”. Turns out, I am brilliant and always have been. That has relived years of pressure of trying to not look stupid.

All of this work has helped me see that I can create ANYTHING! My relationships with my family and business partner are the strongest they have ever been. I am growing a business that will impact so many lives and make me rich in the process. I am already seeing fruit from these last 12 weeks.

When I reached out to Townsend, I was interested in finding for more purpose in my life.  I am an extremely successful real estate investor and an avid world traveler.

And I wanted more.

Townsend helped me learn that I am the creator of my experiences, and I am the one who chooses the effects of my experiences.  I am taking this new truth and applying to every aspect of my life.

In just one month I have seen the benefits of this new truth in a richer relationship with my wife, higher value business negotiations, and an overall increase joy in my life.

I look forward to practicing and mastering this new truth.  I am sure doing so will produce infinite no limit returns in my life and the lives of those around me.

I do so much work that’s creative, but even though I’ve been doing it for 25 years, it can be hard to get out of my head and stop comparing it to what others do. Townsend taught me a structured process to get at the root of unhelpful self-judgments and replace them with thoughts that serve me. More than that, he helped me see that I don’t just create words and music—I create everything in my life, which means I can apply the same processes to anything I’d like to change.

I came to Townsend a bit atypically. I was/am a high performing leader helping to scale a company, but I was also begging for a monumental change.

My life was consistently in the acute phase of emotional/spiritual/mental suffering. Despite a year of work dealing with trauma and mental health issues, I had only learned the tools to identify problems, and lacked the understanding how to move forward again out of a frozen state. 

Over the course of my work with Townsend, my eyes would get a little more clear each time we met, and I started to understand the elements that kept me in neutral, and more importantly, how to begin to move past them. I realized that it was my birthright to live a full life. 

One of of my biggest breakthroughs was realizing that changing the things I did and trying to change my habits would only be a temporary band aid. I’d invariably end up in the same place a month later with a broken habit to show for it. I needed to concentrate my efforts on how I created myself with thoughts and words.

My work with Townsend altered the course of my life. To quote one of my favorite books - “I don’t know where I’m going, but I know exactly how to get there.” The greatest gift he gave me (or better said, helped me to see) was the ability to create deeper relationships, speak openly with people I love, and have a vision for my own future. 

I am a better leader, son, husband and friend. And that’s just the beginning. “

I was looking for a different perspective and more opportunity for my life. I have always been able to work hard to get the things I wanted in my life but was never truly satisfied or fully enjoyed what I was doing on a daily basis. During my first conversation with Townsend I knew almost immediately there was a different way to view life and goals and shift the way you create how you see things to get everything you can imagine without working yourself to death.  

Our work together helped me see when I wasn’t being the person that lives the life I want to live and create a process for cleaning up those discrepancies.  

Since our work together I have created more in six months than in the last 6 years of my life.  It has transformed the way I see, speak, hear, and interact with the world. I tell people all the time if I wasn’t living this, I wouldn’t believe it.  

I attribute being able to Build my own business and scale it to our work together.  10xing my income in just a few months.   Having a network of like minded men that can create even more together and not only being able to see all the doors in my mind that have even more potential but knowing that I now have the process to create the unique key that will unlock it and present more opportunity in my life.

I was looking for something and nothing all at the same time. I wanted more accountability and guidance, but was also hesitant because I had done some group coaching programs in the past and didn’t get great results. So I came in without super high expectations as I didn’t really know what I was getting into. 

Overall though was looking for/hoping for inspiration, but I got a transformation instead. 

I was looking for accountability, but got a true support system instead. 

I was looking for coaching, but I got strategies and tactics that changed the way I thought, behaved and thought about the world and myself.

There are so many areas of life where this work helped me learn about and see circumstance differently. The way I thought about myself, the way I thought about the world. What bad mental habits were in place that had been there for long I didn’t even realize they were there. 

I think the biggest shift for me was around the language that I used about and to myself and how it was not supporting my true goals. Saying I wanted one thing, but then my language and habits in no way truly aligning with those goals.

In terms of where I have experienced transformation in my life is in how I identify my self. The way I speak to myself. How I set my goals and vision for myself. My results in my business ventures have improved. My relationships with my wife and daughters have improved. I feel like I have so much more clarity in so many areas. Playing the game of ‘how would this version of KD’ act. Playing bigger games and not settling or shying away from what could truly be. Integrity as well. Townsend did not pull punches when you needed to hear something he said it, and he helped reframe my ideas around integrity. Why would the universe honor my asks if I don’t honor my word?

It sounds corny, but opportunities have just been showing up at a rapid pace. My decision making on where to focus I am now able to do around my identity, ‘how would someone who believed this act’ which steers my choices in so many ways. Coming from a place of ‘being’ vs ‘doing’ and removing the phrase ‘I’m trying’ when receiving compliments. 

I truly believe that because of this work I will break my income goals next year, my lifestyle goals next year, all while having more enjoyable and passionate relationships with myself, wife, and daughters. 

I am. I am. I am.  I am the greatest at what I do and will never settle again. There is no worst case scenario. 

Thank you for all you have done.

When I connected with Townsend, I wasn't necessarily looking for anything directly. I was curious about having the opportunity to be part of a group of like-minded individuals who could support my commitment to learning, self-improvement, and getting a little better every day.

I've also been investing heavily in myself lately. You could say I was in the mindset of self-improvement and reading every book I could. I'm someone who is always looking for that edge… always looking for ways to improve and push the limits of what I believe is possible. Ultimately, I'm looking to become the best version of myself.

The work we did together helped me learn about myself. It allowed me to uncover opportunities for growth I hadn't seen previously.

Prior to this work, I was producing results but almost always in a state of beating myself up. The voice in my head insisted I wasn't getting there fast enough or tried to convince me I could have done more to satisfy a client or I wasn’t there enough for my family.

Since working with Townsend, I have learned to identify and eliminate the negative thoughts and beliefs that drain my energy. More importantly, I have learned how to transform them into thoughts that energize me and how to create myself as the exact person I want to be right now.

This has been a game-changer.

The last three months alone, have been incredible.  I have experienced a massive increase in my ability to accomplish the business objectives I am going after. The potential I have in front of me now is almost difficult to get my head fully around.

For example, my business is profitable and thriving, I'm fielding a potential multimillion-dollar acquisition, and I'm continuing to uncover new opportunities that make this potential acquisition look like a bad idea.

It’s an astronomically different world that I'm living in now.

I have to say though that the most valuable part of the work is that for the first time in my life, I have the ability to live in and focus on the present and have a framework to get myself out of ruts with incredible speed.

I've unlocked my entire and unlimited potential to create my life however I choose. There are literally no limitations. If I want to make it happen, it's going to happen. This has been a complete and total game-changer for me.

I was looking for a performance coach, an accountability partner. Instead, I was introduced to a community of men who went on a journey to understand the narrative that we have created for our lives, l, and learn how to rewrite our narrative, and Live out the rewritten narrative.

All of this was facilitated by a leader and a coach that welcomed difficult questions and open dialogue so we could learn from one another. 

Our work helped me to take a hard look at the unuseful judgments I had of myself. The experience made me feel like a hoarder of thoughts/judgement that were bringing me down. I have often heard the advice, “speak to yourself the way you would talk to a best friend.” I learned quickly that I would have zero friends if I spoke to them the way I spoke to myself.  

During our work together, I have experienced transformation of my relationship with thoughts; my relationship with my wife, my family, and friends; how I wake up each day and create myself each morning; how I approach clients and prospects, and how I approach leading a group 

As a result of this work I moved to a new firm which I could not be more pleased with; I started an instagram community of individuals that create themselves every day; I recorded a video that I listen to each day that allows me to create myself every morning and throughout the day.

The most valuable aspect of our work together has been having a repeatable process that has not ended since our last meeting.

This wasn't a motivational speech, it unlocked of a permanent mindset shift. Most coaching is like a massage. This was more like brain surgery!

When we first connected, I was looking for an opportunity to "level-up".  Having done some personal work in the past, I was very aware of the positive impact.  Life was great, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to jump into something like this again, even though I often thought I had it all figured out (which played into a common theme of me viewing myself as better than everyone).

The work I did with Townsend uncovered that common theme (among several others), and I would have never uncovered that on my own. I also didn't realize how many areas of my life that judgement had a negative impact.

Since working with Townsend, I have a process I can trigger at any moment that brings me something other than happiness and joy, and as a result, my quality of life is consistently higher. I'm starting to notice that each one of these moments is gradually transforming my being.

The most valuable aspect of the work we did was correcting my viewpoint that at some point I'd be "done" with working on myself.  I've now accepted that I'm playing an infinite game, and that the work is never done.

I was very aware of the fact that I had identified some issues in my life, but hadn’t worked towards solving any of them, when Townsend and I first connected. I felt stuck in a rut- aware of these personal problems, issues, desires, but I had not found a way to work towards or over those things. When Townsend called offering this class, I knew it was my opportunity to commit myself to do something about it.

Our work together helped me understand the power of my mind. It helped me realize that I create my experience- consciously or unconsciously. Feelings about myself or others, happenings in my life, my emotions, all of it, I was creating without consciously doing so. The insight was then, that I could control all of the above with conscious, calculated creation. 

I have almost completely shed fear of flying by creating myself as someone who has no fear on airplanes. Someone who is confident enough to hop on a plane anywhere and feel no fear or anxiety. I also have remade some personal figures in my life in a way that has helped me feel more positively towards them, bettering our interactions and helping me understand or empathize with them. I have also experiences transformation in how I feel about myself. I am more forgiving and kind to myself, creating a better me everyday. 

The outcomes and results that I attribute to those transformations are a better me, simply put. More calm, rational, less affected by emotional shifts. Able to better control my thoughts about myself or other people, and to catch myself falling into a pit of self disparagement. The most valuable aspect of our work together was absolutely becoming aware that what you create unconsciously shapes so much of your life, and to bring consciousness to that creation can change everything.

When I first connected with Townsend, I was living life in a malaise. There were no real problems, no big complaints, but very limited genuine feelings of joy. Overall, I was anxious about the future and bored with the present.

Through Townsend’s guidance and the exercises, I started to see things, by things and mean my thoughts.

Not only did I start to be conscious of my thoughts, I began to understand that my thoughts/ judgements created my experiences.

And then I learnt and continuously practice tools to dissolve my un-useful thoughts.

Like a muscle, I’m working every day at recognizing my un-useful thoughts, replacing them and re-creating myself.

Knowing that I’m exactly where I should be in my life is comforting and that my mind/beliefs will manifest my future is an exciting concept.

It’s a journey and I’m happy to have Townsend in my life to help me steer.

Initially, I approached Townsend looking to build out a sales pipeline and create a repeatable sales training process. I thought that this was the main thing that was missing from my life. It felt like if I were able to solve this one thing then everything else would be okay. 

The biggest eye-opening experience was realizing that there was so much more to the opportunity in front of me and the sales pipeline and repeatable training processes are actually a byproduct of improving my being, improving my relationship with myself. I’ve been focusing on self-improvement for over 20 years and while this concept was not new to me the process and experience of what Townsend has built helped me see things in a different way. It’s hard to explain. 

As a result of working together with Townsend I became more aware of my intolerance and impatience, something that I used to believe was a shortcoming of others, when in reality it was a reflection of something that I had the opportunity to improve with myself. 

By working together through the process with Townsend and doing the hard work along the way I was able to transform and improve my relationship with myself, my family, my team, my clients, and the world. I am patience. I am tolerance. And while those last two lines seem like incomplete statements, if you decide to take part in the program you will realize they are in fact - complete.

The Creating Your Extraordinary Life Experience was life changing.

I realize now that even during those times of being in an amazing mental state, I STILL have unuseful judgements about myself.

The negative thoughts I have about myself have decreased substantially. And when they come up, I simply smile, and move into a better state! Now I can quickly recognize how I’m feeling and move smoothly through those emotions into a more peaceful state of mind!

When I first connected with Townsend, I was doing great in some aspects of my life and doing ok in others. I was starting to excel personally and professionally. At the same time, I feel I was starting to lose track of efforts and relationships that needed the same attention. There was a definitely a lack of full fulfillment. 

The work together opened my eyes to the where I needed to focus outside of my professional life. I needed to work on being more present and less negative in aspects of my life and really being in the right headspace/thought process overall. I learned that I was not aware of my negative thinking and lack of efforts in relationships and spiritual connection. 

Our work together reinforced a sense of confidence and control that I had so much of when I was younger. I feel re-engaged and re-empowered to be the best version of myself possible. 

Overall, it has re-instilled confidence that I can do anything and that I have the power to create my life as extraordinary.

What has been most valuable is the sense of grounding from our work together. It has switched my mindset to address where I am slacking and focus on doing the work in all aspects of my life. When you put in the work extraordinary things happen and I am a testament of that.

Gratitude and service have been pillars of Who I Am.  However, the person I was being was not committed to those principles. I was a person who’s self awareness was judged on my past and my behavior was a reaction to what was happening. Working with Townsend, I found out how to create who I want be and, most importantly, be that person. 

It was not a “switch" that I experienced with our work together, I became who I am now because I created who I am.  It takes time, effort, self evaluation, lots self empathy, new perspectives, it has became a beautiful journey that I love and am excited to continue.  

Who I was yesterday is part of me but Who I am going to be today is how I create myself to be.  I am proud to know how I will behave, I am excited to learn from my mistakes, I am blessed to be committed to be a growing creator!  Thank you Townsend for showing me this trail!

~ Sam H

​---

I initially reached out to Townsend looking for more depth and direction in life and what I was “chasing.”

The experience helped me learn more about me and identify the things I want more of. I learned tools to help get back on track and pick myself up when things didn’t work. We all have times where things didn’t work and we beat ourselves up.

It taught me to start somewhere, define what you really want in your own context, with definition. I am looking at the things I want and have with a clearer picture.  Not letting things outside of my control bother me. Being honest about what I want and need!

In terms of impact, my relationship with my wonderful wife is even better than before. I also sought out and created a new job with a company that respects me, the work I produce, and my personal time.

I was looking for increased confidence in “Creation” and my ability to do it. I was in a high stress sales employment position, essentially a commercial real estate development deal creation role, so the big leagues in my mind. I was also struggling with a few hard life decisions. I needed a swift kick in the ass, several personal growth goals were on the cusp of either epic achievement or slipping away pathetically.

One of the most powerful insights I had was 1/5/10-year goals that previously seemed unobtainable (or even ridiculous) are 100% achievable and often in less time than originally expected. Creation starts in my head and then it appears in the real world through direct action, not luck. I create, I do, I achieve, I win!!!

First and foremost, this experience has transformed my relationship with my family. I see how I can choose my BEing and choose how I feel about others actions or words. I don’t let others choose that for me by their actions, aka I fight with my wife and kids less.

Second, this experience has changed my relationship with my work. I committed to BEing what I am worth. I quit a job and rocketed into a significantly more challenging but also better paying leadership position.

Finally, this experience has transformed my relationship with money. I no longer see money as something to chase. In fact… money chases ME now.

As a result of applying what I learned, I moved from Chicago to Denver to buy my childhood home. I had the confidence to leave a comfortable 10 year job, and now I kill it at a new bad ass CO local job doing deals 10x bigger. The most valuable aspect of our work together is I know I have the tools to maintain my Extraordinary Life, I created it and I live it every day.

When Townsend reached out to me, I was on the front side of what seemed to be a significant life transition. I felt far from at-ease with what I was doing professionally, how I was showing up personally, and where I was headed. I’d achieved a lot of success, and I guess you could say I was wondering what comes next. Or feeling empty with what hadn’t come yet. I wanted to be more present in my work and life. I wanted to be a better father. I wanted to be a great husband. 

Our work brought me an understanding of who I was being in the world that created the anxiety, stress, and unease that surrounded so much of what I’d built in the world. Through real-world practice and experiencing over the duration of the program, I became more aware of who I was being in each moment and how this impacted the lenses and experiences I was having in real time–and was given space to reimagine who I could be. 

The 12 weeks turned out to be my own inner heroes journey adventure. I delved into my headtrash, unhelpful thoughts, and endless negative self judgements. I questioned who could be creating this madness and then was given an opportunity to recreate myself from a place of forgiveness, self love, and creative expression. 

Since graduating the experience, I have found myself a more steady human being, I’ve adopted new habits that are beginning to add tremendous value to my daily life, and now have a framework that I can continue to practice and improve upon. I find more moments to give myself grace and reimagine situations in ways previously hidden, finding better solutions to problems that seemed to be hiding in plain sight. I’m showing up as a better father, husband, and leader. 

The most valuable thing about the experience had nothing to do with Townsend whatsoever, but was the experiences I uncovered by following the process. Townsend merely a guide and facilitator to the magic of self creation. 

I highly recommend working with Townsend for any man is looking to discover more out of their life and isn’t exactly sure what the next step is—or one who finds themselves great in a couple areas of their life, but lacking in others.

I honestly wasn’t sure what I was looking for in this program at the beginning, but Townsend is pretty good at knowing when someone needs help or could do better.  I was feeling a little “stuck” and knew there were important conversations I wasn’t having.  How do you say no when someone you respect asks if you want to create your extraordinary life?

First, I learned that I am not alone.  Everybody in our group was experiencing similar challenges in life to varying degrees.  If I had to summarize what I learned about myself, it would be that I was masking my being with a lot of doing.  I learned to breathe and think about the thoughts I was having as a neutral 3rd party. 

Transformation is a strong word, but this process has transformed how I think about everything.  I view almost every thought and certainly every action through the lens of my declaration to ensure I am acting with integrity.

The most concrete outcomes of this process were removal of judgement and clarity of thought.  The most valuable outcomes of these new skills were realized in my relationship with my wife and my career.  The removal of judgement enabled me to see the woman I’ve loved for 25 years and remove the noise while the clarity of thought led me to decline a very lucrative opportunity in lieu of one that was more clearly aligned with my being and my “why.”

Gratitude and service have been pillars of Who I Am.  However, the person I was being was not committed to those principles. I was a person who’s self awareness was judged on my past and my behavior was a reaction to what was happening. Working with Townsend, I found out how to create who I want be and, most importantly, be that person. 

It was not a “switch" that I experienced with our work together, I became who I am now because I created who I am.  It takes time, effort, self evaluation, lots self empathy, new perspectives, it has became a beautiful journey that I love and am excited to continue.  

Who I was yesterday is part of me but Who I am going to be today is how I create myself to be.  I am proud to know how I will behave, I am excited to learn from my mistakes, I am blessed to be committed to be a growing creator!  Thank you Townsend for showing me this trail!

When I first connected with Townsend, I was looking for internal peace and a sense of calm.

Our work together help me learn about myself.  I learned there is nothing wrong with me, I’m not broken. The insight I walk away with is the control I have over my environment by creating my days, my weeks, my goals differently. Coming from a place of abundance and unlimited opportunity instead of being in a place of scarcity and fear.

At work I have had my most successful year of my career. I have also been apart of creating that abundance for my team as well. Unprecedented growth. In my personal relationship with my wife  I feel like a newlywed again. After twenty years I feel more connected and more open than at any other time in twenty years of marriage. With my daughter I have been able to be more relatable to her. It has allowed me to be a 10 year old kid again  myself and experience the benefits of being present and engaged and really live in the moment. Within myself I feel like I have more energy and that nothing is too big for me. I can do some amazing shit.

Through this experience and over this past year, I have created life changing economic success that I attribute to this work. Even more significantly, I am a better husband and father (and my high blood pressure is gone).

When I first got connected to Townsend, it was through a very good friend of mine. I had been venting about to challenges of early parenthood, the stress I was experiencing in my marriage (largely due to me), and grappling with why I wasn’t happy despite my professional success, beautiful family, loving wife and the comfort and adventure we have in our lives. 

Our work together helped me form a new road map and tool kit for personal growth. It provided the foundation on which to realign with my values and chart a path forward. A way to constantly challenge the degree to which I create my own negative thinking and the degree to which I was justifying my own “stuckness.”

As part of this work, I created a daily ritual, a practice, of consciously and intentionally creating myself, challenging my limiting beliefs and changing my thinking over time. I see progress in myself all the time and also have accepted that this journey of self-love and self-growth is eternal, and that’s a good thing. 

The most valuable take away from our time together has been a renewed awareness and confidence in the power I have over my thinking and thus my circumstances and a drive to constantly create my best self.

When I first met Townsend, life was stagnant. I was missing a lot. Direction, purpose, connection. He helped me through his process to define all of these areas for myself.

The work with Townsend helped me learn that I lived my life with expectations not agreements and I let judgements of others and of myself affect me in a negative way.

I experience transformation in every aspect of my life, how I treat my family, relationships, work, and most importantly myself.

At the end of the day Townsend gave me a magic tool. One that I had been with me all along but I never knew how to “swing the hammer.” There isn’t a day that has gone by where I don’t use this tool to better myself and those around me. For that I am infinitely grateful to have been able to work with him

When we first connected on the topic of being and purpose 7 years ago, I was seeking a connection and better understanding of the “why” in my life and I made significant progress in the space. Purpose driven thinking and action became a fuel in the way I interacted with myself and the world. Recently, I’ve been feeling a stagnation, lack of motivation, and disconnection with the work and progress I have made. I felt a certain plateau. Even though I absolutely loved my life, I felt a bit stuck..

Our work together not only brought back the “muscle memory” of the previous work and alleviated the stagnation I was feeling, but it gave me the sense of responsibility and accountability to myself that I’ve never felt to this degree before. As obvious as it is to me now, I was just as oblivious to the reality that this work is never ending. Recreating myself on a continuous, daily, minute by minute basis is so much more important than finding some useful insights and storing it away in a toolbox. The previous work that I did helped me solidify the “why”. This work gave me the tool of the “how”. How to be in order to achieve my heart’s deepest desires.

Transformation occurred for me mainly with my relationship with myself. I’ve become my word and it has made life easy and care-free. It may sound like a restriction and limitation, however it has proved to be the exact opposite for me. Being my word is one of the greatest freedoms. It’s subsequent effect has been a tranquility in my head and I’m able to, better than ever, quiet down the chatter and rely on a creative power I have yet to fully tap into. This transformation of my relationship with myself was necessary for me to enhance my relationship with others and with the universe itself. I can see that my transformations are especially impactful to the people I have an opportunity to share my journey. It is most fulfilling to see a change in others as a byproduct through the change in myself.

My increased endurance, strength and discipline physically, mentally and emotionally are very real and valuable outcomes. Although the enhancements during our 3 months on this journey have been noteworthy to myself and to those around me, I am most grateful for the fact that this is only the beginning. I’m very fortunate to have these tools at my disposal at a young age. I am certain that my shift in being will be a lifelong process of refinement and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be my best self and spread the light to my family, friends, colleagues and complete strangers. I feel like “renegade” growing in creative power every time I have an opportunity to share my experience and have the slightest influence on someone’s being. It’s incredible and impossible to put the complete aspect into words. My greatest realization is that my gratitude is my consciousness and my consciousness is infinite.

When we first connected, my life was missing two key elements; not feeling the sense of purpose that I once did, and being 100% confident about where I should invest my time to lead a more fulfilling life.

Our work together help me uncover multiple aspects about myself I hadn’t heard or seen before, including negativity toward others based on circumstance or appearance, times when I unknowingly demonstrate low confidence, and times when frustration was impacting my attitude and actions.

Since working together, my wife has been referring to me lately as “Bob after Townsend”,  recognizing a more calm, happier and thoughtful being. It’s also clear to me and others, that I am more present in the now, less reactive, and leading with a renewed calm attitude during difficult situations.

Creating a self declaration is by far the most life changing activity I have participated in in the last 20 years. Beginning with journaling “unuseful thoughts” then studying why those negative or unuseful thoughts appear throughout the day and what they mean to me is an important self examination that everyone should experience. This eye-opening experience revealed opportunities for growth and was foundational in building my manifesto.

When Townsend and I first connected, my life felt in complete disarray. I was confronted with a series of financial hurdles, transitioning to a new career, and general disconnection with who I am and my place in this world. I was looking for a change in perspective. I needed a different insight on how to navigate life. 

Our work together helped me realize that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be right now. I learned that my thoughts, good and bad, are powerful. I learned that by being present with my thoughts, I’m able to find the right direction and actions to create amazing opportunities. 

I’ve seen transformations in many aspects of my life. I’ve become more aware of my BEing and how I navigate life. I’ve become more spiritual. I’ve become more present in my relationships with family and friends. I’m at peace. Ive started a better daily routine. I’ve started meditating which I’ve never done before. And I’ve become more in tune with my surroundings giving me better guidance on how to create what I want in that moment. 

I have a much better sense of well being after this work. Specifically, my relationship with my wife has gotten better, I’m more in tune with my children, and my career path is heading in the right direction. The most valuable aspect of the work together is getting to know me again. Seeing me, my life, and what I can accomplish in journey called life has been extremely powerful. It’s taught me to truly Engage In Life, to commit to the right opportunities, and make the best of the time we have!

When I decided to join the program life was going pretty well. I really did not have any big expectations or outcomes I was looking for and figured it would just be a nice positive experience. 

So it was a surprise when I realized I was living at about 25% of where I could be, in terms of effort and results. 

As a result of participating in the group coaching program, my relationship with my 12-year-old son completely transformed. Before the course, I felt like I was failing him and after the course, I have a whole new way to relate to him that has made a huge difference in both of our lives.  Also, I got a whole new boost of energy and excitement about life. I was coasting. Now I'm crushing. 

If all I got was a better relationship with my son it would be worth quadruple what I paid but I know for sure that that is only the beginning and the results will continue to pile up as the weeks and months unfold. Especially since I'm now part of a community that is very supportive and keeps me going.

I have accomplished something in less than 3 months that I have been trying to do for the past 8 years. Thoughts and feelings that have tormented and held me back for years no longer control my life or control me. I am creating more powerfully in my life than I ever thought was possible.

I was struggling with self-doubt, chronic anxiety and self-sabotage in every area of my life. I was worried about money constantly and always afraid of failure and that I would never have the life I wanted. 

The most important thing I learned is that every emotion in my life comes from a thought. Before I believed that thoughts and feelings were separate things that both occurred randomly. Now I see that every thought comes from who I am being and every emotion comes from those thoughts. 

I have seen transformation in every area of my life. My income, my daily existence, my relationships, my self love and my habits. I am seeing life from a perspective I always wished I could and I no longer think anything is impossible. I have the tools I need to continually create myself as a powerful and unlimited being for the rest of my life.

I am blessed to have met Townsend and join the ‘’Creating Your Extraordinary Life Experience.”

I am blown away by the transformation I created for myself before, during and after the program. I went from being an ordinary coach, to an extraordinary coach.

I can see for myself where I limit myself and I have to ability to break free from that now on a deeper level.

I love Townsend for who he is and what he does. Thank you Townsend, i love you, Virgil Nooitmeer.

I was looking for an experience that would show me how to create myself as a better coach.

I learned and discovered that everything I have or experience in my life is because I created it so. I have also become more conscious of where I was holding back or limiting myself. The insight that was the most profound was that I could change every story/belief I have of myself and that changed my way of looking at my stories. I also created the possibility to create everything I want. 

I have experienced transformation in my way of being towards everyone in my life. I saw where I was pleasing people because of thoughts I created that I experienced as real. I can be more of who I am now. More of who I want to be. I also closed the biggest deal every because I did not cling to my limited beliefs, but I decided to create a new empowering story.

The most valuable aspect of our work together was seeing that I do not keep my word al the time and that I go ‘’into sleep’’. But I can see that it is me who is creating the sleep modus. I am more conscious of it and go into sleep less. The more awake I am the more impact I am making.

When we first connected, my life was lacking in two areas. The first was financial success and the confidence I can regain it. The second was inner peace and self-acceptance which I realized in hindsight.

This work helped me see that the world is FOR me is primarily a result of how I perceive the world from who I am being. By intentionally shifting who I am being, I can create an entirely new reality for myself. Life can be however I want it to be.

As a result of our work together, my marriage and relationship with my wife has improved. She’s noticed a change in me which has helped her take action on doing some work on her end. My health has also shifted.

I have shed 12 pounds in less than three weeks and I’m just getting started.

This might sound strange but I feel like I’m in that scene from Matrix where Neo breaks out of the cocoon and sees his reality around him for the first time. I understanding now I have a lot of power to create whatever I want.

For the first time, I am asking myself: “what do I want to create with the rest of my life?” AND I see how I’m free to figure out what I want my life to be.

As a result of this experience, I quit my unfulfilling  job at a failing startup and created a new opportunity that aligns with who I am and who  am intentionally BEcoming.

The most valuable aspect of this experience has been an evolving understanding that I am a creator and that I can create what I want to experience in my life.

This journey started for me really at Christmas time after having read The Ultimate Coach. The book struck a real chord with me and I wrote to Steve Hardison via social media thanking him and his wife for the wisdom and beauty his book contained and how it had inspired me personally. 

We have interacted sporadically on Instagram and it was Steve who forwarded me a video of Townsend. The word that hooked me in the video was curious!

I was curious why Steve would take time out of his busy day to forward this on to me, and I was curious to hear more from Townsend.

Traditionally I was someone that would have dismissed it all, I would have talked myself out of taking any action. However fortunately for me, with the inspiration of Steve’s book of Being and having already seen a shift in how I was creating my life, (if only with tiny steps), shit was happening and I knew that I had to take action. 

So I thanked Steve and reached out to Townsend. I’d like to acknowledge myself for having even gone that far.

The rest of the journey thus far has been far more than I could have even thought possible. 

When I spoke with Townsend initially and he explained about the course, I knew I wanted to sign up but for me the level of investment was high. Higher than anything I had spent on myself before. That said I felt confident and decided to trust the process and go for it. I acknowledge myself for being brave and taking the opportunity, that again was a grey area where I could have talked myself out of taking action.

The course itself has been so incredibly useful and the things I have learnt with both Townsend and KD have been so, so, so much more than just about how to sell! 

There was a time where I really felt uncomfortable, less motivated to do my home work and did question whether the discomfort was going to lead to anything positive. It was the unhelpful listening that I didn’t like. I had two options, I could either do surface level wishy washy stuff around my negative talk. Or I could open a Pandora’s box full of goodness knows what.

I gritted my teeth and went deep, recording with honesty in my journal what I felt and said to myself. It wasn’t pleasant, a lot of things were not the kind of things I wanted to say out loud let alone share with others. 

I remember I always felt pretty “grubby” after I had written things down and I became aware that I had become pretty good at frosting the dog dirts on the lawn. 

This work really did take a level of grit for me to stick with and do to the utmost of my ability. 

Afterwards things started to bubble up from my subconscious and I started to join dots up about who I was being. The big takeaways I have from doing that work is around responsibility for others, inadequacy, low self worth, aggression/frustration, lack of trust and a belief that I don’t deserve love.

Taking a look like this took courage and I am grateful that I had Townsend and the others in the cohort to help me digest and dissect it all.

Since I have started to understand about how I can shift my being and have written my Declaration, I have noticed some amazing changes / opportunities present themselves.

In my declaration document (which has only been in existence about 3-4 weeks from writing this) I have declared I work with clients who appreciate quality and integrity. Since declaring that I have had an increase in repeat business from good clients who I know appreciate what I do for them Plus the real mind blowing part is, the new business enquiries, nearly all have stated they appreciate the quality of my work and one gentleman said the long standing relationships I have with my clients spoke volumes to him!!

In the declaration I talk about other people are responsible for themselves. Since declaring this there has been a change, I no longer blame myself or feel responsible for other people’s decisions or actions. This is liberating and has had a noticeable effect on how I feel.

A more subtle example of this also presented itself. It’s hot where I live at present and opening up the windows first thing helps to cool the house off, the other morning a neighborhood cat came in through once of the windows. It didn’t do anything, it was just being nosey and it took fright when I walked in to the room and flew back out the window. I mentioned it to my wife when she came down for breakfast and she told me I had to pay attention to that in case he comes back.

Without even a blink of an eye I simply asked her why it was my responsibility to patrol the house. She said: “well not just you, all of us should be aware.”

Usually that comment would have been taken by me as another plate for me to start spinning, so whilst I get up early to exercise, meditate and do my studies or work in the office etc I’d have the responsibility of ensuring no errant cats enter via any open windows (of which there are many)!

Instead a simple question, a little clarity around what was said and I as a result am not on sentry duty as soon as I wake up nor do I feel as though I should be.

I no longer believe I don’t deserve the same level of respect and decency I give to others. This has lead to me removing one person from my life. Three times he has agreed to meet for coffee, and on three separate times been a no show. Even on the last time asking me to text him the morning of our meet up to remind him. The third time was the last time. I don’t need people like that in my life! Usually I would have been understanding and accepted that coffee with me was not a big deal and understandable why he let it slip. Not anymore baby, its his loss! 

Conscious this is going on somewhat, but all in all it has been a great start and I intend to continue with my declaration and work on keeping the negative listening in check.

The most valuable aspect of our work is having a better understanding of myself, where I have come from, where I’m heading and feeling more comfortable and at ease in my own skin.
