I was watching “Extreme Home Makeover” the other night with my girlfriend and I have to say I was really touched. I rarely get a chance to watch TV these days, but something about the story I saw unraveling before my eyes on TV really hit home to me. I realized just how much these people were changing this family’s life. Yeah I realize its a reality TV show that’s filmed for ABC or whoever to make a profit, but does that really matter? The show still has such a positive outcome. They are helping a family who really needs a break, and in the process creating opportunity. They create an opportunity for this family to live a better life, and possibly help others around them.
It got me thinking about my own life and the road I am traveling. I realized that every week I am doing the same thing for people just in a different way. I am creating opportunity for people around the country to learn, profit, and become successful Internet business owners. It may not have all the jazz and spunk of a new home and a new car, but the end result is somewhat the same. I remember I met a couple of guys from Birmingham, Alabama ( I won’t mention their names because I have not asked their permission as of right now ). Anyway these two guys showed up early to my night event so I had the opportunity to have dinner with them. They discussed with me how they were married with high monthly bills and really just needed to find a way out. They were both driven and motivated to be successful, but they didn’t really know what to do to get there.
I asked them how they got the money to enroll in my program. One stated to me that he had attend the event the previous day and decided he wanted to enroll but didn’t have the money. So instead of letting the opportunity pass him by he decided to take action and make it happen. He found out about a dirt bike race ( which i actually found out was a very big event ) that would pay about $300 if you qualified ( which means getting in the top 10 ). So he decided to go race. The guy was sitting there in front of me telling me that he just got off a dirt bike racing track where he earned the money to enroll in my program.
WOW. Thats all I could really think about at the time. Then he went on to tell me about the great bikes everyone else had and the sponsorships they obtained from big names in the industry. He raced on a bike that was 5 years old and worked on by him and his friend not some big name company with expensive mechanics. I was impressed. I always like to see people take a step in the right direction to better themselves and never let anyone discourage you from obtaining your dreams.
So yea it’s true that I create opportunity for people around the country each and every week. However, I want to thank all of you that have attended my events for creating opportunity for me. An opportunity for me to get to know you and your story. An opportunity for me to learn from you things I would have never learned in my life. An opportunity for me to see there are so many good people in this country that refuse to be discourage by the negativity that consumes us on TV every day of the week. An opportunity for me to see people (just like my friends from Alabama) take action for themselves. I have to say I am blessed with the opportunity to be doing what I am doing right now.
To those guys in Alabama. A special note to you (and you won’t know it until you read this blog) I plan on getting you a nice sponsorship from myself and some other companies we work with in our industry. New bikes, trailers, clothing, and everything else you need to continue being successful and doing what you love doing. It’s not always about doing what I do, but rather doing what you love and what makes you happy. I appreciate you enrolling in my program and I plan on working with you step by step to make you find success in this business. I also plan on helping you continue to achieve the success you desire in your other business.

My posting will be short tonight. It’s 12:30 am and I am a bit tired. I guess not being on the road doing Hidden Millionaires conferences has been a good thing for me the past few weeks. I’ve been able to really relax and enjoy spending time alone, which is rare for me these days. I was suprised today to see that quite a few people ordered my book “The Hidden Millionaire” off Amazon. I guess I forgot to even mention that it was on there for sale. Most people just goto my website www.TheHiddenMillionaireBook.com to order the book, but if you want to buy it at Amazon.com feel free to do so.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Grammy’s tonight. Al Green and Justin Timberlake together was really cool. I admire them for being able to do what they do. I speak in front of a few hundred people and its a nervous thing for me to do. I can’t imagine singing like that in front of thousands live and millions around the world. Especially on short notice like they had to do tonight.
Hope everyone has a successful and wonderful week!

As many of you know I am enjoying a short break from the conference tour right now. We will begin again in 2 weeks in Tampa, FL and move on through areas in the southeast for the next few months. However, on my break I have been wrapping my head around this ChristmasForKids.us organization I have started. I keep asking myself how can I make this grow? How can I help not only kids from Mississippi, but also kids from around the country. I have decided I want to start “chapters” of this organization in other areas around the country. I am looking for applicants that might want to head this up in their local area for me each year during the Christmas Holiday’s. Here is what I would need to know:
1. Your Name:
2. Your Address:
3. Your Phone Number:
4. Your Email Address:
I will contact you with further details as soon as I recieve your information. You can email that to anthony@anthonymorrison.com and Ill be reviewing this information over the next few months. I will select a few people from different areas of the country to head up the ChristmasForKids.us organization in your area.
I look foward to hearing from you soon!

Well I am finally back home with my family! I’ve spent the past 5 weeks in the northern part of the country on my Hidden Millionaires tour. Obviously I met thousands of people, and as usual I found a way to learn something from each and every person I spoke to this month. I received an interesting question from someone that attended one of my events last week, and I want to share it along with the answer with you right now. I was finishing up my last show in Cincinnati, Oh when an older man asked me “Why do you do this? Why do you travel the country and teach people what you know? Your making so much money sitting at home why do this?” that’s obviously a question I get quite often when I am on the road, however, this time it struck me in a somewhat different way. It was almost as if this man was in complete disbelief that I would want to “work” when I don’t really have to. Honestly I don’t have to do what I do, but I have my reasons and ill share them with you now.
There are many things that I feel strongly about in life, and what to share with as many people as I possibly can each and every day. What better platform to get that done than a nationwide Hidden Millionaires tour? I meet thousands of people every single month that actually listen to what I have to say. It allows me to influence thousands of people with the things I feel are extremely important in life. Yes I am there to teach them how to make money, and motivate them to be successful by thinking successfully. However, I am also there to influence people to realize there are other things in life that are important. Each week I get to share my Christmas For Kids (www.christmasforkids.com) story with thousands of people across the country. I share with them how important it really is to give back to those who are less fortunate. No matter what your situation is in life there is always someone who has it worse, and could simply use some help. Children have always been important to me I grew up babysitting one of the sweetest little girls you will ever meet. It taught me to have compassion at a very young age, and I think that is an absolutely wonderful characteristic to posses. I realized that children have absolutely no control over the situation they are born into, and they certainly have no way of changing it at a young age. I always knew when I got older, became successful, and was in the position to help that I would do exactly that. Now that I have been able to help provide Christmas gifts for children in the Mississippi area for the past 2 years I am looking for ways to expand that across the country. By speaking about this in my events I am touching people and watching them with my own eyes as they realize the importance of giving, and thinking about other people. I had a lady interview me last week from the Associated Press and she said “Your story about the children at Christmas made me realize I don’t do enough. I currently take gifts to an elderly person’s home each year, but I realize now I could do more, and I could help out some children”. This is exactly the kind of influence that gives me the drive to continue doing what I do. So when you ask me why I do this? Why do I teach people around the country? Why do I work? I would simply ask that you reference what that lady said to me and ask yourself this question. “Would I work if I knew I could provide a positive influence on thousands of people each week that could result those same people reaching out and helping other people who really need it?”

Well its March 3, 2008 and I am sitting in Cleveland, OH preparing for our event that will take place for the rest of the week. Alot has been going on in my life for first couple of months this year, and for the first time I am starting to see that being on national television has its perks, but it also has its downfalls. I have been doing the seminars for almost a year now, and honestly have had no complaints by my students what so ever. However, there are a couple of people who have given me some labels that I don’t take to kindly to at all. A few people that have said things about me that certainly make me mad. I guess out of the thousands and thousands of people I have met accross this country in the past year to have 2 people say something negative about me should be considered wonderful, but for me it isn’t at all. I pride myself on having integrity, honesty, and good character. My dad use to tell me when I was just a little kid that if you dont have good character you have nothing at all. I have lived my entire life by that exact statement, and I will continue to do so for the rest of my days. So for all of you out there that have had the chance to meet me I welcome your comments on me, my family, and my conference. For the couple of you that have stated things about me that are untrue it shows lack of character, lack of integrity, and lack of class on your part. As I move foward with my 2008 tour ill continue to exhibit good character, integrity, and treat every situation and person I meet with the utmost respect and class. To those of you in the mid-east that will be seeing me on TV over the next 5 weeks I welcome you to our conference, and I welcome your opinions about me. I feel truely blessed to have met so many people during the past year, and I know what is in store for me this year is going to be absolutely wonderful.
