1. As the fellow who had to travel 1/2 way around the world with Ralph (that’s an adventure in itself!) - let me echo Ralph’s sentiments that it was an incredible experience!

   As the world becomes smaller and smaller everyday, thanks in large part to technology and the Internet, it was a treat to join Ralph in the extraordinary opportunity to address the future business leaders of Kenya. So much energy, so much passion, and so much opportunity - for them and us!

   Ralph, it was a pleasure, and I look forward to returning there with you in the future! Great presentations!

2. Your techniques were absolutely helpfull because i learned a lot of stuff that i had assumed i knew them before.Knowledge is power so they say so unless you act upon what you know,then you wont succeed in whatever you’l be doing.Thanks a lot.

9. Wealth Expo Kenya with RALPH ROBERTS

   Hello Ralph,

   I just wanted to send a thank you for coming out to speak to
   us at the Wealth Expo. I learned many valuable lessons.

   I also wanted to give you a link to a website we are building to help
   foreigners coming into Nairobi find their way around the city. I’m sure
   you will agree that it isn’t the easier place to navigate and so far
   there is not that much information on the web promoting indivdual places
   in Nairobi.

   Please have a look at it and if you have friends who would be interested
   in coming to Nairobi please send the link to them as well.

   You see…networking already. We were listening.

   Here is the link

   http://www.foreignxchange.co.ke

   It’s still in it’s early stages but we are populating the site.

   Thank you once again for your wonderful lessons.

   Also, here is a little poem I wrote when my uncle passed away some years
   back, I thought I would share it with you…

   …the sun sets in the evening,
   but we do not worry,
   because we know it will rise again,
   through the storm, through the pain, through the darkest hour of night,
   so look beyond the stars, because even for you…
   the sun will rise.

   I didn’t know your daughter, but I am sure she took the world by storm
   and now her spirit has made it home…to a brighter and better
   place…and she is taking that by storm too.

   God Bless you! And please, come back again.

   My deepest regards to your family.

   Sincerely,

   Mona Ombogo-Scott

10. Ralph R Roberts
    IT WAS GREAT !!

    It is with great pleasure that i am writing to you over you session at the Africa Wealth Confrence in Nairobi. Your session i must say was the tool remaining for me to move my business to the next level. My names are Peter Mbui Gitau. Am 21 years of age on 2nd october. I run a multi level marketig business and do card designs on a parttime basis. It was great to see your success charts, enthusiasim and commitment to helping other people succeed which is a great challenge that i believe will serve as a sense of direrction and motivation in my business dealings.
    I would highly appreciate if you can share with me on my weak points of business management ie. contacting after prospecting, time management, followup on clients and self presentation on first meeting.

    I really admire your card as it talks much about you.
    look forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards,
    Peter M. Gitau

12. Hi Ralph,

    This is a note to say thank you for the motivation you gave during the Action Conference over the weekend in Nairobi.

    I represented Old Mutual during the function and benefited greatly from the presentation.

    My dad started off a Construction Co. nearly 20 years ago, I wanted to take it over and go into real estate. I would appreciate more info or some tips to success in that industry, from you as a guru in that field. Would that be possible?

    Hope you and Chip had a safe trip back home.

    Looking forward to getting info from you and doing better on that score.
