Tapping Into Your True Potential.

Jan, Raymond, Shirley.

By Zach Neal

It’s the right time to tap into your own true potential.

That would be the message of Raymond Aaron.

Shirley D. Neal and Janice Discepolo, founders of Go Wit Ventures, were thrilled to be at the Monthly Mentor University weekend at the Congress Centre in Toronto.

“Raymond Aaron is terrific!” says Jan. “It was a great seminar.”

“I’m all about goal-setting,” said Shirley. “It really resonates. The best thing you can do to brand yourself is to write a book, a how-to book.”

Raymond Aaron’s book might be described as all about setting—and achieving, personal and financial goals.

Raymond Aaron, the nation’s number #1 success and investment coach, has committed his life to teaching people how to utilize his powerful goal-setting strategies and life management tools to dramatically change their lives for the better.

“If there’s something you want to do, the best thing you can do for yourself is to get a mentor—preferably more than one. Even if you have no money and can’t afford to pay.” Raymond got this sage advice when he was down and out, sitting on a park bench and going nowhere good when a stranger came along and sat down beside him.

After many failures, he literally borrowed money from his mother for one more start, convinced that he had the winning combination.

Since then, he’s never looked back.

It was the turning point of his life and he has worked very hard to bring this message to other people.

Using his own innovative techniques developed over the last two decades, he shows people how to, step-by-step, take conscious control of their world so they can double, triple, or even quadruple their income, doing whatever it is that they really love to do.

Raymond has spent many years developing, refining, and testing the techniques that he teaches so you don’t have to struggle to get what you want in life. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You just have to be able to follow a little guidance.

He is absolutely committed to helping you achieve what you want in this lifetime—just as he has helped hundreds of thousands of others around the world achieve their dreams. Raymond credits his success to the collected wisdom he has received from his mentors and his own life-tested techniques. Techniques that can help you create the most joyful, abundant life you can imagine. Techniques, incidentally, that he himself applies every single day. His specialties include: mentor, coach, goal-setting, effective goal-setting, goal-setting strategies, business goal-setting, personal goal-setting, smart goal-setting, performance goal-setting, and goal-setting worksheets.

Janice was impressed.

"In spite of being busy enough at the best of times, this is something worth doing."

Shirley was in total agreement.

"This is going to have a big impact on my life, and on my family's future."

Thank you for reading.

The 13th annual Jazz and Blues in the Village fundraiser for the Sarnia Organ Donor's Awareness Group is set for Sept. 16 and 17 at Sarnia's McGibbon Park.

The lineup of performers expected inside the heated tent in the park next to the Lochiel Kiwanis Centre includes The Michael Schatte Band, Paul James, The Bettys, Robb Sharp and Lit'l Chicago, Yasgurs Farm and the Johnny Max Band.

Committee member Connie Ellis credits a “great organization, terrific volunteers and top-notch entertainment” for the fundraiser's longevity.

“I think we have an interesting and exciting group coming in on Saturday afternoon,” Ellis said.

The Bettys are a Toronto-based female trio, backed by a four-piece band.

“They are sort of like the modern-day Andrews Sisters,” she said.

“They do all the oldies, and they dress in costume and they look like they're just a whole lot of fun.”

They will be followed by local favourite, Lit'l Chicago.

Schatte, originally from Chatham, is an up and coming guitar player, Ellis said.
James is an award-winning Toronto-based musician. Yasgurs Farm is a 12-piece band with a six-piece horn section from Toronto that plays soul, funk, jazz and rock.

Exploring Tall Ships Festival for Sarnia.

Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley is floating the idea of a new tall ships festival to anchor on a regular basis in the St. Clair River.

“Sarnia's modern tourism future is focused on the waterfront and it needs more activities and events similar to Bayfest,” Bradley said in an email Friday.

In a letter sent Thursday, Bradley suggested to Tourism Sarnia Lambton that it consider approaching the community to see if there's an interest in developing an annual or bi-annual tall ships festival.

More than 100,000 people attended this year's Tall Ship Celebration in Bay City, Mich., two hours northwest of Sarnia, in mid-July.

Twelve tall ships docked in Bay City for this year's festival, opening their decks up to the public along the Saginaw River and competing in races as part of the travelling Tall Ships Challenge.

“Bay City, Mich. probably holds the biggest festival, which means that many of the ships pass by Sarnia on their way to that particular destination,” Bradley wrote in his letter. “Sarnia is the largest city on Lake Huron and it's a mid-way point.”

Sarnia last hosted the Tall Ships Challenge – an annual race series – back in 2003. More than 100,000 people turned out for the Sarnia event, which featured a festival complete with a dragon boat race and a performance from the Doobie Brothers.

Sarnia's Canatara Beach: Clean Sand, Clean Water.

As Canadians, we appreciate our summers like no other country. And rightfully so- we live in the frozen tundra 8-9 months of the year. And while we can get the odd break from winter weather by flying down south, having access to world renowned beaches right in Southwest Ontario is such a bonus.

If you haven’t grown up in the Southwest Ontario region, chances are that you might not be familiar with the wonderful offerings we have right in our own backyard- all within a short drive!

One of our favourite beach getaways in Southwest Ontario is Canatara Beach in Sarnia-Lambton. Take a quick 3-hour drive from Toronto and you’re immerse into a whole other world.

This Blue Flag Beach is what beach dreams are made of- clear water, beautiful sandy beaches, and access to Canatara Park where you can take a break from the sun and enjoy nature.

Rooftop Solar Gaining Ground in Sarnia-Lambton.

Solar Coordinates, (Wiki.)

From Barbara Simpson, Sarnia Observer

More Sarnia-Lambton homeowners are now plugging their very own rooftop solar panels into Ontario's energy grid after a growing Ontario solar start-up has expanded its reach into the region.

About 20 Sarnia-area homeowners have signed up for renewable energy contracts so far this year through Unconquered Sun, said Sean Moore, founder and director of operations for the Tecumseh-based solar energy company.

“We're increasing that number by leaps and bounds,” he said Thursday. “This is the first year we've really marketed in Sarnia.”

Expansion efforts come after Sarnia's Bluewater Power became the first Ontario utility to buy a renewable energy company with its purchase of Unconquered Sun in 2015.

Moore said Sarnia is an ideal location for rooftop solar projects because the area has transmission lines capable of accepting the additional solar generation.
