Where can I find online events for self-improvement?

Another webinar won't save you.
The calendar is full. It’s always full. A constant IV drip of manufactured hope.
Right now, as I type this, Tony Robbins is holding a multi-day event on wealth. You can jump on Eventbrite and book a "Self Love Awakening" workshop for next month. You can find masterclasses from coaches like Ryan Zofay or wait to "Unleash Your Greatness" with a legend like Les Brown.
The list never ends. There is always another summit. Another seminar. Another chance to feel the fire.
I’ve been there. In the back of the arena. Music blasting. Strobe lights. A thousand strangers chanting affirmations. I felt the surge. I walked out feeling like I could tear down a mountain with my bare hands. I bought the t-shirt.
And a week later, I was the same person with the same problems. Just with a lighter wallet and a new shirt.
The surge was gone. And in its place? A quiet, hollow, fucking nothing.
The industry calls them events. The word comes from the Latin evenire, meaning "to happen, to result." An event is an outcome. A single point in time.
The problem is that real change is never an event. It's a practice. From the Greek praktikos, meaning "fit for action."
One is a sugar high. The other is nutrition.
The weekend seminar is a candy bar. It’s a huge rush of energy and excitement. It feels amazing. And then you crash. Real growth is like changing your diet. It's slow. It’s often boring. It’s the unglamorous, day-in, day-out discipline of eating your vegetables. It doesn't give you a rush. It builds sustainable strength from the inside out.
We chase these events because we crave a lightning strike. A single moment of transformation. But change isn’t lightning. It’s erosion. It’s the daily, patient, relentless work of water on stone.
I don't look at event calendars anymore. I look at my own.
What is the unglamorous practice I am committed to today? When the music is off and no one is watching? That is what’s actually changing me.
So. What's one small, boring practice you can commit to today, instead of waiting for the next big event?
Follow me for more on the slow work of real change.
If you're tired of the sugar highs and ready for real nutrition, the daily practice is what we build at My 12 Journeys.
