OfflineIt was a weekend of the year. Maybe even a weekend of your life. You might just look back to May 1-3, 2015 and say that weekend changed my life forever!
Back in 2009, Dean was promoting his first ever live event. I knew we would not want to miss it because the ad even said he may never do it again. We made the commitment and went. I would not miss this event and always be sure to attend it. This event has some ENERGY that words alone can not describe.
I also want to thank Dean and his staff for putting together such an event to help all of us all get inspired to do that first deal or get us to the next level.
We are the DG family and we have a Dean that is passionate for our success. We are the EDGE Class of 2015!!!!!!!!
We deserve a song. Let the music play -
"We started dancing And love put us into a groove"
No not that hip 1980's song "Let the Music Play" by Shannon but these songs...........
We deserve a song, heck we deserve more than 1 song!
We Can Move the World by Joe Crone
"We can move the world, we can touch the sky
We can climb the highest mountains, spread our wings and fly
We can learn to be what it is we're meant to be
We can learn to grab our dreams and look for all possibilities
We can move the world"
Time of Your Life by Green Day
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time"
I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly
"I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away"
You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban
"You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be."
What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
"I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world."
I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack
"I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking"
Forever Young by Rod Stewart
"May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home"
It is May 4, 2015 and EDGE Class of 2015, it is time to go out there and take what you have learned and apply it. Tell others what you have done and inspire all future classes of EDGE Alumni!

Cutting edge information and GREAT networking.
It was great to see Dean, Matt, Jeremy, Jay, Karen, Andrea, Gina, John and Julie, Tammy, Joe, Donna, Dave and Nicole, Kieth and Roberta, Reynold, Nate, Blake, Darren, Tony, Andy, Valerie, Jack and Michelle, Thom, Bo and Tina, Louisa and so many more DGers!!
Networking was awesome! Can I say that again!!
Talking with action takers and deal makers!!
The education was the best available as usual.
It is so apparent that Dean cares about his people.
Now it is time to put into action what we learned and follow through with the connections we made.
EDGE 2016 here we come.

An experience I would never forget. Meeting many of the DG family, networking and all the knowledge that was provided from all the great speakers. I'm so glad I went.
Reynold Orozco
It was a great weekend.... Many networking opportunities and the best real estate education around. All the speakers were amazing. Remember it isn't how you start but how you finish.
Jeff Heflin
Very special weekend. Learned so much, it really does feel like a family, everyone supporting everyone. I've been tire-kicking for way too long now. I was at last years EDGE too but lost momentum and let those negative thoughts/fear get to me again. But not this year! I have already taken massive action and done more than what i did last year.
All the speakers were great. I will be seeing you guys at next years EDGE. But this time as a DEAL MAKER!!!!!

I was sick for a second year!!!! Wow really But that was not stopping me from coming back and I was honored for a second year to give back what I have learned on stage. I was so moved when I noticed in the front row a man that I talked to two years back who works for the hotel (bar guy) about Dean and real estate at the event. He told me that I pushed him to change his life. WOW....choked me up... That my friends is the BEST DEAL I HAVE DONE.....
Joe with pride I ask for my speaker mics (2014,2015) and this years tower
Not having a goal is worse than not setting one..

This was the first edge I missed
this was an incredible Edge, ea one is diff & amazing. this is my 3rd edge & it was awesome to see everyone, Michael, Joe, Karen, Andrea, Dean, Matt, Gil, Darren, Said, Rey I did not see you!!!! IT's sometimes difficult to see everyone cuz there are 300 people there & it is jam packed with teaching & networking.
Vaughn, Olia, Tammy etc. I met some new great people had a blast! Yes with the info Joe I am taking more action I feel pumped & ready to get even more deals.
Aaron next yr I'm sure you'll make it I know you had a fam emergency. Joe give me my badge!
see you all next yr!
Tony
Go faster do more! GFDM!
After attending my first EDGE 3 years ago, ( after missing the previous 3) I made a pact with myself that I was going to continue going ALWAYS, as long as Dean holds them. What an experience!! Being around you Joe, and all the other DGers who are now speakers and presenters is just invigorating, uplifting, exciting and all the other words that fit. To be able to say "I knew them or of them before...." gives me hope for the future and comfort in the knowledge that my time will come. Getting to know the new comers to the event as well as rekindling old friendships from previous EDGE events makes the whole trip worth the time and effort. I almost think that my driving there helps me enjoy the event longer than those who fly. I have multiple days away from "the routine" to get excited to get there AND multiple days before I get back home to the "grind" to relive the event in my memories without the "Life" I left to come to the event interfering.
I was told, a long time ago, " You rise or fall to the level of those you surround yourself with." I can't think of a better bunch of people than the DG Family to surround myself with and rise to their level. There is no Fall to this group!
So please put me in for my 2015 EDGE badge. I wear them proudly.

It was so wonderful to see so many returning faces, but Even better t see new people there getting their first taste and experience of the edge event!
We are continuing the energy and focus on the DEAN GRAZIOSI EDGE 2015 ACCOUNTABILITY GROUP at https://m.facebook.com/groups/1432419270408115?ref=bookmark. We've implemented a few of the things talked about at the edge and have our first call today, Monday 5/11 at 4:15 PST. If you came to the Edge, please join us there too. Especially if you're finding it difficult to apply all the knowledge, this group will keep you energized and on your toes! Add it to your favorites, set up your notifications, and add it to your 1 page productivity planners. We would love to see you over there!
