Building A New Vision
Other than the unfortunate death of my brother Jonny, I haven’t made a new blog post on this site in many years. A long story, but I actually didn’t have the site for a long time as I had lost it for a while.
Recently, I was able to get the domain back, and I commissioned one of my staff members to restore my old content from the Way Back Machine. Just yesterday, he finished doing the best that we can in putting back up the old posts on this site and from here, I’m going to start creating content on this again of some kind.
Probably, this blog will take a little bit to evolve into what it is supposed to be, and that’s ok. I probably won’t post on it every day, and sometimes I might go a week or several without writing anything new. But occasionally, I will probably pop on here to give my thoughts on one thing or another and many of these thoughts might be profound or useful in some way, so I would encourage you to follow the blog and keep posted as just maybe, you’ll read some sort of thing that I say that will inspire you to become more, or be someone better.
Putting this blog back is more symbolic for me, as this is where I started my journey originally of creating online influence. This little website took me from getting started to earning my first commission of a few dollars, all the way up to doing events of 6200+ people.
So I figured now that I got ahold of the domain again, I can put something together on it again and journal about my journey of learning, of awakening, and of wealth creating.
There’s a lot to talk about, and I’m not going to do it so much now.
This is more of a “hey, hello again—yes this is written by me and not AI” kind of post. To be fair, in putting my old posts back up, we didn’t have a lot of the images, so where there were no images, we did use AI to make those.
So what am I up to lately? A lot of various things, nothing of significance I will probably talk about now. Two projects I particular I am working on building out which I am excited about, one of which is launching January and I hope will be a world changing business.
(as I have done that before)
In addition, I am reading a lot of books. Here is a shelf of books I read in the last 18 months:

You can’t probably count them, but there is about 250 there. Usually I wake up now at about 6am, and I read until noon. Why?
Good question. Trying to gain some wisdom, I suppose.
A lot has happened in my life since I originally started this blog. I started it off married, and then got divorced. I began this blog originally very poor, and then I ended up doing a couple hundred million dollars in sales online and building events anywhere from 100 all the way up to 6200 people was my largest.

I started this blog without any kids, married to a woman I met in a health food store in Utah, and then I went through a divorce, had a son named Gabriel, built a company to doing $7.2 million a month in sales, then had my partner bail and fought like Rocky to keep it around, only to have it collapse.
In the collapse, of course my son’s mother bailed on me (which quite destroyed my little heart) and took my son, to where basically, I have missed most of his life even though I have fought very hard to see him every day of it. Most of what I have fought have been my own inner darkness and the depression that came from losing the people that I loved the most in the world and watching them bail one by one on me.
It was quite rough to go through, but not to complain as to speak frankly, I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world as it is quite a fantastic story I will get to tell at some future point, to an even bigger crowd than the ‘measly’ 6,200 we built before.
Although, Gabriel if you do ever read this I do love you and think about you all day every day and Priscilla—big hugs to you and Angel, too.
Anyways, in the midst of this spiraling disaster of pain, there was a bright moment of spiritual awakening that was both surprising and mesmerizing, only to be followed by more chaos and despair as an ex contractor drugged me with overdose levels of meth and I appeared on Facebook with a bloody face, rubbing a green lime on my skin.
At that point – boom! Quite the fantastic implosion I lived through as I witnessed everyone I knew from my previous life basically flee in terror. It was quite the show, if you missed it. Something that again, I will tell more than likely at some point when there is a much bigger crowd than 6,200 to hear it.
Most people don’t know what happened at that point as I haven’t told the story very often, but it doesn’t particularly matter. Aside from learning to build myself back from groveling pain and despair, I learned a lot that will propel me to greater love, power, and influence in the future where I impact even more people in a positive way that will more deeply transform them.
From there, it has been some sort of systematic rebuilding of myself, and that basically leads me to where we are right now in me writing this blog post, and you reading it—the rebirth of Dave Wood, and the creation of a new, unstoppable recruiting army. Hence the recreation of the best blog on the internet, www.workwithdavidwood.com 🙂
Because, why not?
Think about it like this – if you were there to witness the colossal meltdown and the rise and fall of what is still known as the best Network Marketing company of all time (Empower Network) — if I can not just bounce back, but fully recover, and then build something even better for myself and everyone – well, quite frankly – you can do anything.
Many times you read about personal development or perhaps buy courses or seminars on it from very well known, famous people who at the time of writing their books and making their courses seem to have everything in their life together. Some of these people seem to be like magical ponies, living in some kind of fairy tale where gnomes and elves co-exist with them in a land of instant, magical riches that come to them automatically just by visualizing it and sprinkling their magic fairy dust on their dream board once-a-night.
However, I’ll just tell you that until someone has lost everything, they know nothing whatsoever about personal development. Until someone has had their entire mind and soul broken apart, and successfully put themselves back together, they know nothing about healing the soul.
Many times you hear someone say things like “if I lost everything, here is how I would get it back” and then they proceed to give you some one or two line punchy catch-phrase that sounds good and maybe even gets you pumped up, believing you can do it.
However, what if you lose all your money, and then afterwards:
- Your friends ditch you
- Your family bails on you
- Your wife leaves you (taking the kids)
- And in addition, you also lose your mind?
Well, then how are you going to do your little strategy without your mind? Probably, it won’t work well anymore. Especially if all of your following bailed and you have to rebuild from zero. Perhaps you first have to get your mind back, and then have to build a new following.
If you can truly rebuild (which is actually harder than doing it the first time) then you are someone who has truly figured something out that is extraordinary, because very few people will ever have to go through the difficulty you have gone through.
🙂
See, this is why I know that the best days are yet ahead. The days are ahead when not only will everyone who ever left me return to be by my side (or they will wonder in disbelief) but the days are coming when we will build crowds of 10,000, and even 100,000 and 250,000 people and more. I can see us building movements where we have to rent out stadiums and even deserts.
Because, quite frankly, I have rebuilt myself and now I see a vision much more powerfully than I ever did before. I simply know we can take a lot more people with us on this next ride. Because before it was about helping people make some money on the internet, and creating a team that was quite rich (which we did very successfully) and now it is about something much bigger and more important, that I will get into at some point in the future on this website.
Because it is time to change the levels of the game we are playing and elevate ourselves above this world that we come from. Life is not just about money, although money is quite important to modern existence.
Anyways, I began this blog post with a title about vision and really what this ended up being about is about a rebirthing of YOU. You and I have been through a tremendous journey together over the years that has been through fantastical ups and downs. We have seen lives transform and new visions birth, leaders have risen and fallen as movements have been born and died.
You might be asking reading this… David, is it time to work together and make some money again?
Of course.
Just be a little patient with me as we all have a little growing to do in order to get there. Building a vision happens daily, not in a day, and we need to do something truly impactful.
So keep reading, and paying attention.
I’ll journal about progress and ideas on this blog, and maybe write about some of the books I’m reading. It will take time for these writings to take shape and aim us in a mutual direction of harmony.
So, just keep coming back.
Remember in life, that no matter what happens to you, it is not the end until the end has finally come and if you’re still breathing, that day isn’t yet.
And even then, perhaps we continue amongst the stars.
However, my point is more simple, and that is if you are reading this, there is great hope for you to do something great and to be someone more and more importantly, to become more of your destined future each day, growing and fitting into a new picture of reality that is birthing now within you.
Please leave me a comment with your thoughts, on what you would like to see me create.
It is time to create a new future.
Love,
David Wood

You sound healthy in body and spirit Kimosabe and I wish you nothing but the best my friend.
I’m forever grateful for the mentorship you have given me over the years and I absolutely believe that your best days are still ahead of you.
Onward and Upward.
I’m forever grateful to you too John! Miss you my brother and I’m hoping I can give you a hug at a mega event again soon!
Hey, David…I have been with you since the days of Empower Network. I have watched and participated as you rose to something huge, then the trials and downfall of that era. I do believe we can build a bigger, better marketing machine. Let’s use some ai in our plan but never lose that personal touch with the public. How about a system that even a cave man can do it! Lol
Thank you Wandaa I believe in you too and I am so thankful that you are a part of my life! I believe in you too!
Looking forward to it man. Appreciate you
you too brother.
I like what you are doing I follow you I want to learn from you stay bless jah live 🙌
Thanks Clarence!
David,
You’re so inspiring & I won’t give up hope of accomplishing something more than surviving the roller coaster rides in my life. I have had some terrible family ordeals which tore my family apart. It’s truly heartbreaking. I don’t even know who my siblings are anymore & we were tight I thought. Anyway thanks for the insight & wisdom you share. Have a Fabulous Day!
You have a great day too Trudy thanks for commenting!
