A Funny Video… on drinking

I know I have been publishing a veritable mish-mash of content… it is not because I am eclectic, not even because I am a renaissance woman, it is because I am trying to find my path, and you can only do that effectively if you actually commit to a path and walk on it for a while. Pam Ragland said in a “purpose reading” to me, that her pals told her that my path is to find ways to fight the dark side and win, and to help her in her fight in the addiction community. I think this video is an excellent funful wakeup call… or could be, for many. Enjoy. visit video on youtube or watch it here

Your sphere of influence

I have lots of clients that struggle. One of the common characteristics I can find is the fact that they are trying to do something big, but are surrounded by small thinking people. Another one is that they have a small sphere of influence. And the third one is that they don’t know how to get more people to join their sphere of influence. You will never be able to do anything really big, if you are isolated, and the “echo” that you hear about you is from people who think you are small, insignificant or crazy.

If life worked like it is “supposed to”, it would build you a group of followers to the tune of millions, but of course life doesn’t work the way it is supposed to. But still, it is worth a try. All it takes is a minute or two…

Diets Don’t Work, In Fact They Make You Fat

Diets don’t work
I know, I know, I am not the first person to say this. but…

I myself heard the expression, for the first time, about 15 years ago. There was a book written by a guy who owned a gym, I think in Texas, and the book starts with one of the best lines in history, he said “I had to call in fat one morning…”

That’s very funny, right? The word you expect is “sick” so when he says fat, you crack up. At least I did.

Did Your Personality Get Put Together vs. You Were Born That Way?

I got a thank you note today. I get quite a few of those, I must admit. They are a great way for me to track how the methodologies and principles I use in my teaching work. I mean, how effective I am, how effective the methods are. They track my ability to make a difference in the world. (Someone please remind me to write about how I view my making a difference…

Black Friday or how to get yourself into trouble

Hi! It’s Black Friday. Now, don’t ask me to tell you why it is called Black Friday: I don’t know and I don’t want to know. What I do know is that today I experienced something that you want to hear, you want to learn from, today, and the rest of the year, black, pink red, blue days… any day. Ok, a little background information:
