I believe that progress in life is predicated directly in proportion to the number of “AHA’s” we receive then act upon.

These are the epiphanies of life. The sudden realizations that hit us, that can change us forever for the best, or that can also protect us from harm.

This is the foundation for all creativity, life changing innovations, the greatest writings in the world to “C” movies that amazingly got produced. Some actionable thought that hits us in a much bigger way than normal that is followed by our inspired actions.

If you’re like me, you get these ideas from time to time then wonder how in the world you could implement them. Some of them are outrageous. Some are so thought provoking it’s hard to let go of them.

The failure to at least investigate these is the platform for life’s failures. The foundation of this is often within our own disbelief  of self. Who am I to. . .? etc.

It’s not that we should take action on every big idea that comes along, but that we pay attention to them. Watch for the signs of confirmation. Synchronicity, sometimes thought of as coincidental are often great clues.

For example, you might have an idea about an unusual type of clock. You know nothing about clocks and didn’t really care too much about them until this idea hit. But it won’t leave you alone. Then, seemingly out of the blue, you meet someone who has some connection to the clock business. AHA? It would be worth investigation.

The human being is first and foremost a creator. All we do is create. We create our lives, our situation, or challenges and our solutions. Those who are unwilling to acknowledge their own personal power are doomed to being, by choice or ignorance, the victims of circumstances and outside powers.

Every AHA presents the problem of how? Maybe even when and where too. But, if the AHA is big enough to excite you, it’s small enough to find an answer to. What’s your risk/reward ratio for going for it?

One of my memorable AHA’s was on a walk through Bloomingdale’s in New York City one day. I saw a mother scolding her 5-year old boy in public. I wondered how long that feeling of public humiliation and rejection would stay with him.

I thought about the disappointments in my life and rejections I’d suffered through. Not only that, but how they had sometimes almost defeated me and yet had always made me stronger. That was a real AHA.

That night I was giving a speech to over 500 top sales people at the New York Hilton. I tossed out my prepared notes and told the story of that little boy. I discussed the power of rejection and how it could actually vault us to greater success. I imparted some very personal stories that night. It was a feeling of amazing release.

I’d never had a reaction like that before. Like most professional speakers, I’d had standing ovations, but never with the flow of tears that came with it from my audience that night.

Instead of shaking hands with me afterward, people were thanking me and hugging me in gratitude. I was in shock.

“How To Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed,” became the most popular speech in my career as a professional speaker. I later wrote a book by the same title that got the endorsements of Larry King, Jack Canfield, Og Mandino (“The Greatest Salesman In The World”) and many others.

I eventually got the rights back to the book and converted it into an electronic version, which has now gone around the world, selling more copies in the first three months that the original publisher sold in the first two years!

That single moment of AHA was life changing for me and others. I’m glad I paid attention to it.

So, I urge you to allow for the AHA’s in your life. Never shut them down, but explore them with an open-mind.

Amaze yourself with the possibilities of potentiality. If the AHA hits, then so does a way to realizing it, as long as there is a passion, belief, and gratitude behind it.

Who knows, the next one could be life changing.

AHA!

Please Note: This is different than my usual post. It happened because I came across a single piece of scrap paper in my file cabinet today that was written many years ago.

I was inspired to write this now, immediately after finding that piece of paper.

You will know within a few minutes if you want to continue reading. If so, you’ll discover that I want to start a conversation with those of you who resonate with this.

Here’s what triggered this:

I was looking for something in my file cabinet today and pulled out this faded scrap of paper. I instantly remembered writing this on the beach at La Jolla California, many years ago.

It was a dark period financially and emotionally too.  I needed at least $20,000 within the next month just to get caught up. Things seemed to be going wrong all around me.

I was in a rut. So I went to church on Sunday, something I hadn’t done for some time. The minister’s sermon, which I didn’t know in advance, was, “You Deserve Financial Success.”

Click To Enlarge

Now, I’m not a very religious person within the man-made religions, but am a big time believer in God and prayer.

The latter I have treated like a forgotten relative at times. The former, an exercise that I know works but for some reason I fail to do for periods of time.

So, that Sunday I marveled at my excellent timing and maybe even prescience for showing up at this particular church in San Diego, which was over 150 miles from my home.

I had driven there on an impulse that morning because I especially liked the preacher, Terry Cole-Whittaker, and I needed some spiritual sustenance. I probably passed 500 churches on my way there. Why there?

There was a prayer box in the lobby. So I filled out my slip with a prayer that described my need for $20,000 within four weeks.

After church I drove to LaJolla, where I sat down on one of the most beautiful beaches and views in the world, and worried.

Then I heard a voice behind me that said, “You deserve financial
distress.”

It was if all other sounds, the oceans, beach goers,
helicopters and the breeze all stopped. Just that voice from someone
right behind me.

I whipped around to see . . . nobody. At least nobody close enough to have said that so clearly to me.

I turned back quickly towards the ocean. All sounds were up full volume

again, the kids, the surf, the laughing and my heart pounding.

That voice was so real, so vocal, right in my ear. And what did it mean?

Something else that was weird too. Though the voice was so absolute, yet I
had no sense of it being male or female. But the words echoed through
my mind and seemed to be bouncing right into my soul.

I shivered a moment in the warm air. Once I settled down, it took awhile, I began to think about it.

The minister said I deserved financial success. The voice said I deserved financial distress.

I walked for awhile, not seeing or hearing the beauty or sounds around me. How could I deserve financial distress? I wondered.

I walked back towards the village and stopped in a convenience store
where I bought a writing pad. Then to a little cafe overlooking the
beach.

While I don’t hear “voices,” I know that I’ve been directed in
the past to do certain things. I know it was always my choice, and if
my Intuitive Click was strong enough, I usually followed it.

So, I began to doodle on the pad. This process will often help me
create an idea or find an AHA! I recall writing this first page,
like a cover page.

“You Deserve Financial Distress (?)”

Then, on the next page I wrote the question, “Why do I deserve
financial distress?” As soon as I wrote the question mark, I wrote
this; “Because you had a choice. Distress or success. You chose to
distress. So, you deserve what you choose. You always do. That’s the
gift.”

Distress as a gift, I thought. But then, no, that’s not the message, the gift is choice. We always have a choice.

Not just in what we do but how we react before and after what we do.
The gift is how we use our control mechanism. Do we act and react as a
victim or do we product as a positive force for good, ours and that of
others whom we touch?

In an instant the worry left me. I had a sense of completion of that
“need” for $20,000 more dollars. Had I given it much critical thought I
would have doubted it all.

What, no more worry? Completion? No stress about it?

Thankfully I didn’t think much about it.

Within days I got a new consulting client. The fee was $20,000 exactly.
The previous events didn’t even hit me until I had the contract and
check in my hands!

But all of this was not the lesson. The lesson was that I had to
relearn the real lesson over and over. I have a choice. Every decision has a consequence, good or bad. Our subconscious is the driving force.We are the programmers of our subconscious. So, we can reprogram anytime, right?

I’m seeing stuff today from gurus and others in the Law of Attraction (LOA) work about “effortless
success.” I’m sure they don’t mean no work needed, just effortless in
mind and spirit.

It’s true. It can be very difficult to drop the “armor” of worry and
distress. Somehow, those feelings almost seem protective.  That’s like
saying Heroin is okay for you because it makes you feel so good.

Maybe those feelings of “negative comfort” are God’s little test for us? I don’t know.

Of course, it’s not just financial, it’s all success from relationships to how we deal with our daily lives.

We deserve what we choose. So, if you’re not happy with what you’ve been deserving lately. I have a couple of ideas.

Here’s what I know. It worked for me then. I forgot about it, went
through the same cycle later. Rediscovered it. It worked for me again.
I forgot about it again. Recycle time, ad nauseam.

So, today, when I discovered that single scrap of paper. “You Deserve
Financial Distress (?)”  it brought back that episode from when I first
wrote it.

Now, here we are today. I relearn this lesson once again and share it here because that’s what I think I should do.

It’s so simple, I have to wonder why it was so difficult to maintain.

Now, thanks in part to you, I think I know how it will work better for me and for you. I’ll simply share this in a bigger way.

No other agendas. If this resonates with you, then I’m doing service.
You can pass it on too. Let’s just keep reminding one another and pass
it on.

Long ago I learned to listen to my intuition or my “Intuitive Click.” I also learned what happens when I ignore. it.

I was in the middle of giving a seminar as I suddenly became acutely aware that I was looking out at an audience of hundreds of people who were looking back at me . Behind me were three video screens and a professionally decorated stage.

The screens magnified my image to almost theatrical proportions. The audience was great and we were having fun together.

Then, bang! I was suddenly taken back in a flurry of memories. It was so unexpected  it was  jarring.

Several friends and associates came to mind who were with me at various events. Many of those people became their own enormous success stories. I thought about others I’d known who were immensely talented yet they’d simply faded away.

I also flashed back on some of the speakers and entrepreneurs I’d coached over the years. One that I recalled was just awful. I’d coached him informally through the National Speaker’s Association and we we’d developed a friendship.

He asked me to attend a Rotary luncheon where he’d be speaking and requested that I give him a critique.

As I sat there listening to him, I felt almost ill. If there were such a thing as a speaker’s life preserver, I’d have thrown it up to the podium for him. He was drowning.

Now, years later, he speaks authoritatively on his topic all over the world, he’s written best sellers and consults to major corporations. What power he has! But it sure didn’t look like it that day. To his credit he never gave up.

It was almost disorienting. I know I paused for several seconds as my eyes scanned the audience. The group became quiet and still, waiting. The only motion was from a videographer with a hand-held camera moving around the stage to get another shot.

I thought about the times I’d felt either powerless or felt like I was just one of the crowd. I thought about all the people I’d known who were the same or felt the same and then had become world famous or highly accomplished in their vocations. What power they had, what power they have. Did they realize it then? Did anyone?

Many of those who’ve succeeded were not very impressive at the time. Probably neither you nor I would  have said to any of them, “What power you must have,” let alone thought it.

These thoughts were so provoking that after my pause, I spontaneously said to them, “What power you must have!”

I told them some of the stories of feeling or looking powerless, including my own. I implored them to know their power and to be willing
to step into it.

It wasn’t simply another motivational talk, it was spontaneously from my heart in a way I hadn’t spoken before. It was truly an AHA!

For the first time in my life I completely appreciated the immense power of the individual. Not the crowd, each individual. What power! I thought, how can they really know this?

So, I know this about you; What power you must have.

Michael Korda, author and the  successful president of Simon & Schuster wrote a book some time back called, “Power.” This is what he said about the subject; “Power. If think you have it, you do. If you think you don’t, you don’t.”

What power you must have . . . you think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This article came to me in a flash. It’s what I call an AHA! I shared it for
my newsletter subscribers who came back with personal emails and
comments (below) about how the effect this had on so many of my
readers.

I began reviewing my seminars and books, especially
“How To Take NO  For An Answer And Still Succeed.” I realized that my
life’s work was about showing others their inner-powers. I just never
thought of it that way.

You find yourself on a cold, deserted, darkened New York street late at night. You’re blocks away from any traffic and surrounded by old decrepit buildings with no signs of life.

Suddenly you’re not alone. Pacing behind you are two shabbily dressed men who stop and start when you do.  You have no phone or other way to call for help.

What do you do?

Here’s what I did. I call it creative self-defense.

I stepped out of my hotel into a cold crisp New York City night in December. The plumes of car exhausts to the exhales of scurrying pedestrians left traces of life everywhere.

I was in town for a friend’s annual Christmas party. She’d just moved in to a new loft that was remodeled from an old warehouse. This industrial area was going through a gentrification process designed to create an upscale series of old warehouses into multi-million dollar residences. Hers was one of the first completed.

A group of us hired a car to take us there from our hotel. The streets surrounding her building were empty of pedestrians and even cars. Usually anywhere in New York City where there’s a parking spot it’s grabbed up right away, but not here.

We arrived at her address and I marveled at what was being done to beautify the building, and later the others, in the middle the deserted urban squalor.

Later, my friends wanted leave before I was ready to, so I told them to take the car and I’d grab a cab.When it came time to go, I thought I’d just walk down to the next major street to get my ride.

When I stepped outside from my friend’s  warm and beautiful home I realized how bleak everything else was. I’d also misjudged the distance to the next major street. Many blocks away I could see the streaming car lights flowing through the distant intersection. Oh well, I thought. I love walking in New York City.

Only about every fourth street lamp worked. All bundled in my heavy overcoat and scarf, I marveled at how the crunching snow beneath my feet echoed through the deserted buildings. It seemed strange that these were the only sounds around me, magnified by the frozen air in the middle of this city of sound.

But then another sound intruded on my solitude as I noticed the magnified sounds of more  footsteps. I stopped to listen, and heard a few more heavy crunches before they stopped. I knew these weren’t my echos. I walked a several yards then heard more crunching that sounded like it came from behind me. I stopped suddenly and heard two more crunches, then silence, except for distant sirens.

I stole a glance behind me as I began walking again. There, on the other side of the street, about a half block behind me, under one   of the few working street lamps, were two men dressed in what appeared to be old army fatigue jackets. They didn’t look like any of the party goers I’d just left.

As I walked faster, they walked faster. I slowed down, they slowed down. The nearest active intersection was at least another five blocks away.

There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. No lights were on in any of the buildings and going back was not an option. I let out an involuntary groan. At that moment, and upon hearing my sound, the two men stopped.

Without thinking about it, I made another loud, but now an agonizing groan. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see they’d stopped again. I abruptly faced the building closest to me and began yelling obscenities toward it.

Crazed yelling erupted from my mouth and I began flailing my fists, fighting off imaginary enemies, cursing and yelling that, “You’ll never take me alive you (expletives!)” I pretended to have a knife as I slashed out at my invisible advisories, all the while glancing at my two very real potential threats, who were now frozen in place, watching my theatrics.

I could see them looking at one another and then talking and glancing over to my side of the street as I continued my tirade.

Suddenly I stopped and turned to look at them as though seeing them for the first time. Focusing on them now, I yelled more obscenities as if they were the continuation of my imaginary battles manifested right on the street. They paused, looked at me for a moment, then turned scurried off in the opposite direction.

Taking no chances, I continued my rant as I aimed myself toward the safety of the busy street. By the time I reached the intersection my voice was so weak that I could hardly yell, TAXI!

I was never so happy to find myself in heavy city traffic.

NOTE: You were born creative. Everything new thing that you do comes from your core of creativity. Those who say, “I’m just not creative,” couldn’t be more wrong.

Like any natural gift, you can improve on it. You can heighten any or all of your senses with training. When you combine your intuition with your creativity the possibilities are endless. This is how you can get “the edge” in life.

My experience on the streets of New York are just one example, and it’s not even an extraordinary one. We are constantly presented with opportunities to advance in life and the way we increase our personal power is through exercising our creative process.

The Wizard’s Edge is designed to heighten your natural intuition and combine it with your creativity. You can find out more about it by clicking here.

There’s a bullet hole in my shower door?

If you’re wondering what that means, you may be an “AA person,” Above Average. Maybe, maybe not. Let’s take a look.

Years ago I took a creative writing course and one of the exercises was to come up with a grabbing first sentence for the beginning of a book. That was my lead. Where it would take the reader (and me) is yet unknown because that’s all I did with it.

But did it gain your curiosity? It must have because why else would you have opened this?

This is not a trick. But it’s a small lesson in the human condition, curiosity. It’s also one of the attributes of the above average person. But with a catch. The curious “AA” person is discerning and one who knows when their curiosity will be helpful and when it’s a waste of time. Then they take continuous action.

Curiosity may have killed the cat but it’s advanced human kind in all the good ways to where we are, what we’ve become, and how we’ve evolved.

Except for intelligence, above average people aren’t born that way they are created. Above average people, regardless of their intelligence, are self-created.

They are created through a resolve to first survive, then to excel and then to thrive.

Once anyone with at least average intelligence comes to the knowledge that regardless of their past, their current circumstances, their bank account, their age, or any other “reason” for remaining average or below, they have no excuse. If they do, it’s between them and their conscience.

Above average people seek the edge in all things. If that requires extra learning, personal experimentation, a willingness to fail, and to be rejected, they understand that’s part of the pathway to their designed intentions.

Above average people have massive expectations to succeed from one moment to one day at a time, and then into the future. They prepare for success long before it comes, just as the cabin dweller in the woods stocks up on firewood before the winter. They know it’s coming, and they will be prepared.

The above average knows that failure is not an insult or personal failing but quitting is. Quitting is an injury to themselves, damaging to who they are and to what they represent. Failures create the stepping stones to the successes that the above average person is seeking.

There are three kinds of above average people:

Average – Yes, there are average above average people. They do just a little bit more to get just a little bit more of life and life’s experiences and bounty. They don’t play it as safe as the average  person, but pretty close. They are easily satisfied as they slip into the comfort zones of being more comfortable in their slightly above average lives.

Horizon Seekers – This type of above average individual is searching, seeking, and curious, with a set of goals and standards, yet never satisfied with the status quo. They will move toward new horizons both geographically and mentally. These are seldom contented people and may annoy others easily with their obvious aggressiveness.

Evolving – This person is seldom satisfied either, but more at ease in life. They are usually open-minded and to open-minded skeptics. They are expansive in their knowledge, willing to share and to network for their own personal gain, yet they will share and create synergistic relationships to continually work on and achieve goals as they discover new and better ways of living. Their success seems almost effortless as they move through life with far less stress and negative emotions during even the most challenging times.

These are the above average positive types. Of course there are the above average criminals and negative types too. But that’s obvious.

The above average know that it’s not where they are today but what they are doing today to get to where they want to go in life.

I use the term, “Your Inner Wizard,” (YIW) which is the power of all that you’ve done to date in your life. The lessons and wisdom that you’ve accumulated from all of your successes, failures, rejections, in fact, all of your experiences and knowledge.

If you call upon the inner resources that you have available, you have to ability to at least sense right/wrong decisions before you act. Sometimes it seems like magic or high level intuition, but in reality it’s being open to listening to that inner voice that will sometimes gently nudge you via a feeling or knowingness without your necessarily knowing how or why.

The AA’s  take risks in proportion to their potential rewards. They fail left and right, then move straight ahead when they have more answers and more information. They use fear with the acronym; F.E.A.R. First Evaluate According to Risk. They fail but don’t quit. They may change direction, find another way, but they don’t stand down easily.

You are above average for reading this, even if you don’t agree with it. You’re on the search for more and better information. You are curious and above all, you take action.

Humbug Update And Our Future

Here are a few things to review and some notes on the future. Plus my gift (see below) for you, just in case you missed it.

You may have noticed from my various blog articles that I have eclectic interests. I realized that almost everything that I’ve done came from my studies and experiences in personal growth and development.

If you’ve been with me for awhile you’ve seen that. Your Inner Wizard is about success and failure’s beginnings. They begin from within.

The good news is that we can go back and restart any time we like. I don’t mean a major life adjustment, but going “back” and getting the proper mindset to accomplish what we were attempting that wasn’t working.

So, with that in mind, let’s look at present and future ideas, concepts and opportunities together.

Why Humbug? – And Your Gift

My holiday greeting was titled, “Bah Humbug! Really? Here’s why. . .”

Have you ever over indulged in too much of a good thing. You know, like eating lots of sweets, heavy meals, not much exercise, then just crashing? Well, Happy Holidays!

But hey, why not? This is the time for that, food, fun, friends, and family.

I love this time of year for all the good things that go with it. Why then did I write a “humbug” article a couple of weeks ago? See if you agree and let me know. You can pick up my holiday gift and read my humbug article right here:
http://budurl.com/BahHumbug

ALSO: Here’s a preview of some coming events/articles

Why New Year Resolutions Don’t Work!

If you’ve read much of my material, by now you know that I believe we can all do magnificent things. So why that heading?

Most people can’t make sudden and dramatic changes, even if their behavior is hurting them and the ones they love. Even if their health or finances are in danger.

Here’s the good news, you’re not most people. Neither am I. We write and read things like this to explore the possibilities. Sometimes we even (surprise!) take action.

The rest of this article will be available soon.

From Fat To Thinner and Fit – The Possibilities

Okay, I let myself go. . .and for too long now. I’m well fed and fed up!

I’m starting the writing of a new book the first of the year, which means even more time sitting and typing. So, I’ve made up my mind. I’m slimming down.

I used to be a partner and Sr. VP of marketing in a multi-million dollar health and nutrition company. We had some of the best scientists from UCLA and elsewhere on our advisory board. While I can’t claim to be an expert in that world beyond marketing, I do know the scams when I see them and I enjoy finding the innovators.

I just purchased a product that was devised by a man whose reputation I greatly respect. I’m reviewing it now. If I like what I see I’ll become an affiliate and then tell you and the rest of the world. More to come, for sure.

The Simplest, Yet Most Powerful Principle. . .

I’ve had some huge failures and some great successes in my life. While I don’t relegate these things to just money and material goods, those items do come in handy from time to time.

I’ve studied a bit about Eastern philosophy and application of mind principles that sometimes seem to defy logic, especially when they work.

Many of the principles from “Think And Grow Rich” to “The Secret,” manifestation and the law of attraction (LOA) contain these ancient success teachings of the East.

But the simplest nugget of information that at once reduced my stress and made achievement easier and more frequent (when I remembered to apply it) I learned in less than 30 minutes.

But it was so simple, frankly, had it not been for the weekly mastermind group I was in at the time, I might have taken down the note and never realized it’s incredible power.

Though I’ve taught it in courses and seminars and with all my personal clients, I may not have given it the emphasis it deserved. I won’t make that mistake now.

This is the primary principle that’s saved me from self-destruction and other forms of danger. It’s the one technique that I can give credit for that can instantly reduce my stress, even in the most difficult situations and give me greater clarity.

Look for the article announcement soon.

Also In The Works – “The Wizard’s Edge”

We all need an edge in life, this technique is all natural and variations of have been used by the most successful people in the world and in  all of history.

This program will never stop being improved. I’ll be announcing a special for you as my new year offer.

I’m fashioning the “Your Inner Wizard” website around this work and I’ll be expanding it more for my members into 2010.

The principle of the Inner Wizard in us all will be constantly explored. The two areas for this are self-growth and material success.

The only people who are reading this piece are those looking to advance in their lives, either from a mind/body perspective or financially. Of course, the latter incorporates the former. We need that balance.

We are all marketers, whether we are trying to influence a potential mate, get a job, a raise, or market to the masses, we must market (sell) something to succeed. Even if it’s just ourselves as the product.

Those satisfied where the are or who are in dead end jobs with no hope (because they don’t know their own power) are not reading this or did not read this far.

Some of these people are actually happy and fulfilled and want nothing more. Who else will serve us breakfast at our favorite coffee shop or do our dry cleaning, pick up the trash and all the extraordinarily important services that we all take for granted?

Do not for one moment think that I’m putting anyone down here. This is the way our world works and it can work quite well. I’ve seen service people come alive when they relied how much more powerful they can be. And I’ve seen extraordinary happiness from some doing a menial job that might drive you or me a little nuts.

What I’m sorry for are those unhappy souls who, in their misery, can see no way out, no pathway to happiness. What I’m thrilled about is that so many have come through me, my associates, my mentors and anyone doing this kind of work. AHAS and realizations abound everywhere! It’s a joy to see this discovery in others too.

This I know; there’s something for everyone and someone for everyone. I love the exploration. If you do too, I think you’ll be enjoying our journey together as a member of this very special interest group we’ve formed.

More (much more) to come!

Note: There is also a link below for my gift to you, in case you didn’t get it yet.

Bah Humbug! Really? Here’s why. . .

I like to think that I practice being grateful. Sometimes, when things aren’t going well, I have to think about it and find grateful reasons, and I’m talking beyond positive thinking here. It’s not always easy, is it?

Thousands of people have trusted me enough to be on my list. Some of you have remained for years through stuff you may not have liked, but because you saw enough you did like, you stayed.

I am more than grateful for you, all of you, new members or long timers. Some of you are customers, some are just present and seeking new information and some of you are interactive with me.

Over the years some of you have become one-on-one clients and we’ve developed our own unique relationships. Others have written to me privately and/or on the public comments of my various blogs. I am most grateful for it all.

Why the “Bah Humbug?” title. I keep getting these corporate email Holiday Greeting notes or group “cards” from places I’m subscribed to or where I’ve purchased things from. What does that mean?

We can now send a note to everyone or selected groups on our lists with the push of a button. We can put lovely graphics on (or have our graphics department do it) and zap, everyone gets their “cards.”

I even got one “F-R-E-E Gift” notice with a nice bow and “Holiday Greetings” note. All I had to do to collect my “F-R-E-E” gift was to buy a $97 product. Hmm? How do you spell unsubscribe? I hit that button fast.

I even get “Personal” notes. Mass mailings from some guru or CEO. How is that personal? To them, and the dollars for F-R-E-E-Gift-givers, I say BAH HUMBUG!

To you, all I can say in this impersonal grouped message is thank you. I am truly grateful for your new or continued presence.

One of the reasons I’ve given away the digital versions of my book, “How To Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed,” even though many others have paid $27 for it, is that now, more than ever, it may prove very helpful for those in troubled times. It was written to help people overcome rejection in all its forms, i.e. disappointment, humiliation, and failure.

Also, for those who have the book, I’ll be announcing a deep discount on the audio book, just for you, as soon as it’s available.

The link for the book is below, impersonal though this may be.

So, my anti-bah humbug is in this full disclosure. This message was sent to you all. It’s only personal in my deep appreciation for you as a part of this group. Of course, to some of you whom I’ve come to know and who’ve taken the time to interact with me, an even deeper gratitude exists, customers and non-customers alike.

Thank you all. We’re all in this together as we try to make our worlds better places to be by increasing our unique personal powers for ourselves and our loved ones.

Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
or just. . .
Happy Holidays!

More power to you,

Tom

Here are some recent items that you might have missed the past couple of weeks, including some absolutely free gifts, ideas, techniques and at least one LOL.

Tough Times And How To Overcome Them

Failure is one of the most important benefits for any success. Within every failure lies a nugget of information that can carry the failed to the success they desire.

How many successful people, inventions, techniques, or formulas of any kind were right the first time? Except for “mistakes” or unexpected discoveries, none that I know of and likely very few.

The secret? Failure is not the problem, quitting is.

One afternoon, before giving a keynote speech in New York City, something happened on a walk that changed my life.

The result of that became the most popular seminar I’ve ever given and then later a book titled, “How To Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed.” Celebrities from Larry King to Jack Canfield gave the work a thumbs up, as have readers from around the world.

I got the rights back to the book and then turned it into a digital version. We sold more copies at $27 in a few months online than the original publisher sold in two years in its printed form for $19.95.

Now, I’m offering that as my Christmas or Season’s gift to you and yours. It really can help you through the most difficult times. Zero charge or obligation

An Amazing Customer Service Story

Do you know anyone who has to deal with real live customers every day? Especially this time of year. It’s not easy.

I was shocked to find that one of my most popular articles, now read by thousands all over the world was about one of the most unique customer service stories I’ve ever witnessed. It was really powerful. Read it here:

Why Would You Give $5.00 (or more) To Help Some Actors You Don’t Know?

Maybe because I too struggled as a starving actor and entertainer in my early 20’s do I empathize and admire those who tough it out.

My best friend is a world renown acting coach, Scott-Arthur Allen. The story of how he got a number of his workshop students in a feature motion picture is really great.

What’s also great is that film has been selected by the prestigious Sundance Film Festival as an entry in January.

If you’d like to get a “ride-a-long” with these actors as they venture into this incredible experience, some of them need help to get there. Your donation of $5.00 or more would be a great assist. You can see more about that here:

Funny, Helpful, And Revealing

Here’s something I had an absolute blast doing. It turned out to be LOL for a lot of people, but also helpful for others.

It’s all about procrastination and it’s all zero cost. The media release will tell you more. If you get the package, again at no charge, and read it and don’t find yourself at least amused, please unsubscribe from my list.

: )  Just kidding, we may not all have the same senses of humor, but I think you’ll enjoy this. Procrastinators Anonymous:
