Why You Must Be Fully Aware Of What’s Going On Around You – Even If It’s Upsetting

I have a viewpoint to express here.

There is a contention that getting into “conspiracy theories” is just bad news and should be avoided. Keep everything rosy and everything will come out alright.

I personally think that at this juncture in history, this is just another form of non confront and actually destructive and a wrong action.

Here is why I say that. Here’s an analogy…

A group are all walking through a grassy area of southern California in the dry season in the summer. They enter the forest and are strolling along on a very nice day.

Some bum in the woods, went to sleep with a lit cigarette and the inevitable brush fires start.

Pretty soon, someone in the group starts to smell smoke and says, “hey, I smell smoke.”

One person in the group, who has some stature, says, “Knock that off, that’s just bad news. We are here taking a walk to enjoy the forest, so just chill. We don’t need that crap.”

Fat Cats In The Wall Street Journal

I just arrived in a Chicago hotel.

Grabbed a copy of the Wall Street Journal on the way to the room – sat down and started to browse the headlines.

Above the masthead, the secondary lead story headline is: FAT PETS: A GROWING PROBLEM – photos showing obese cats and dogs grace the top of this very business of business papers.

I laugh to myself. I was wondering when this would start to hit the air…

My take on it is this: If you understand that you are what you think and you begin to think what gets drummed into your head incessantly, you sort of get a picture of what the game is.

I’m talking broadly – planet earth’s eye view…

In my last post, I got into suppressed cures for things. This hits me in the same stride. I wonder why we have fat cats? It’s funny, on one hand, but a testament to blindness on the other.

Fat cats and dogs are being fed by fat humans. They are probably eating the same Gourmet chemistry. Food (too much, wrong kink)  is what makes you fat.

It’s like your car. If you have a diesel and you “feed” it regular unleaded, guess what you will get? No ignition and a messed up engine.

Inspiration And Action. Key Links To Creation And Success.

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Have you ever noticed that great men are marked by action?

Have you ever noticed that ideas come in flashes and in moments they are gone?

This is my personal experience.

This has everything to do with action and action is what every single success in the history of mankind is based on.

Ideas are a stream of consciousness – they are like sparks. They flicker brightly and sometimes only for a moment.

Action is the kindling, the fuel that keeps an idea burning.

Bright ideas are a dime a dozen, because if not acted on now, when they hit, they too, too often extinguish.

Is Disaster The Key To Success?

No Way Do I Go Down...

Just talking to a friend, Megan,. She asked me a casual question: “Isn’t being an entrepreneur great?” I fired off these thoughts in reply…

Entrepreneurship is a calculated risk, but it is only that risk, I believe, that makes big successes.

I looked at what the people that I admired most had in common.

I found it was being close to death or disaster and forcing themselves through it.

From there, they developed a way to get around that disaster – and from there they went straight up.

Mike Dillard is one such – there are many more in different fields, not just marketing, but in all of life.

There’s a guy named Pete Egoscue – he was close to the end from battle wounds in Vietnam. He refused to give in and from there developed a system of muscle development covered in a book called Pain Free – no drugs, no surgery, but specific use of the muscles as developed by special exercises that eliminate pain.

Yet, I see surgeons slicing and cutting and chopping up bodies wholesale in attempts to remedy pain.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Written by:

Emotion, fire, excitement, passion, love…

What do these emotions have to do with success in your business or anything else?

Well, the entire concept of attraction marketing is based on the concept of “Alpha”ness – my take on the term. That’s got to do with the energy generated from pure excitement, passion, even ignorance on fire.

It’s got to do with the fact that people have a basic instinctual pull towards real (or false as well, unfortunately) leaders.

The point is  humans need leaders and are going to follow somebody an if it isn’t you, it will be somebody else.

Success has everything to do with you being a leader and thereby organically magnetizing people to you.

I recently talked to a guy who just oozed that alpha aura, that literally magnetic pull and agreement.

Boy was he excited – it felt like a huge electromagnet – really. I couldn’t say no. Now mind you he wasn’t selling me anything, but trying to help me, which is another part of the equation.

My hair felt like it was standing on end. Literally.
