Different View

Two people are talking, 
the first one says, "did you hear that?"
The second one says, "what?"
"That boom - it was loud, didn't you hear it?"
"Of course I did..."
"Then why'd you say what?"
"What is it, that's what I was asking..."
"How should I know - but we both heard it..."
"If we didn't we're both hearing things..."
From one meaning to the next in one sentence,
one says, didn't get it, the other says, got it
but what was it.  How fast can confusion
get into the mix?  Pretty fast...

In an age when we talk across the globe
this means that it is possible to have
enormous misunderstandings happen
so quickly, and so intensely, that by
the time they've calmed down to
getting the point, lines have been
crossed that shouldn't have been.

So are there any references that you
know about, which address such?
I've been personally blessed by Mari
Smith's work, "The New Relationship
Marketing," which it seems to me gives
us a really decent reference about how
to handle online communications.  If
you haven't seen it you might want
to pick up a copy.  In fact Mari has
scheduled a special presentation webinar
with Guy Kawasaki- below-
which if you can make it will bless
your life- guaranty it.

Levels

Ever watch young people playing Wii?
They get into it, and they aren't distracted
by anyone standing by them,
Link to image Wii
they are into the game. My daughter
bought a game for her Nephews
(that is her story and she's stickin'
to it)called "Donkey Kong." I love to
play the game but on Wii it's a bit
of a challenge for me, that
seems to be an age thing. Anyway
let's not digress, so the Nephews are
playing the game, the house could
have caught fire and burned down, they would still
be pushing them buttons as fast as they could, and
into the game. Which is when it hit me...

What if we taught math that way? Hey, wait a minute,
there are some programs that do...what if we taught
English that way? Hey wait a minute, there are
programs that do...So does your local school system
employ this sort of advanced learning? Tony Robbins
I've got to believe would call it, immersion style,
learning, Mari Smith, would call it, immersion
style, learning. Immersion, getting so deeply into
the learning experience, having so much fun doing
it, that, you don't even realize you are learning.

When it comes to getting beyond
the problems that are in our future
about the change from petro based
lifestyle to other based lifestyles,
can we make the transition by actually
taking six months to
develop programs which would
teach the necessary skills to exist
in that world? Someone might,
the question might be, can it be
made to be as much fun as a
Gorilla going after Bananas?

You Grow FASTER Like This

Remember the door frame
Click to See Site for Image
with the marks on it?
Where last year you were "this tall!"
Then this year you grew "this
many more inches," until
you could get on those rides
at Disney World
or Six Flags? Those were
small measuresfor a big life,
your life, a big life.
Is that how you see it; a big life?

Maybe you don't
realize how big
your life actually is,
because your
measure is really not doing you 
any favors? See that door frame measure
was really cool, for several reasons,
silly as itmight sound, it actually made
me want to get taller? Ever hear that
you have to have a "want to," in
order to grow?

SO FIRST NOTE: Measure to grow.

The difference between measuring to grow and
measuring that won't let you grow is all in
how the measure is done. Let's read that
sentence one more time- go ahead, run your
eyes back over it. Did you do that? Now
if you did, see how important that is, if
you didn't, ask yourself, what is it in you
that makes you not want to follow requests?
Because, that's an important question if
you think about measuring what you do? We
want to measure to grow, not measure so that
we can't grow, and the difference is what?

SO SECOND NOTE: measure positively to succeed.

Maybe this lead came in from Chris Voss,
which seems likely, as Chris is always
pointing out the latest and greatest of
stuff, including leaders, but anyway-
this lead was Louis Green. Now Louis
is something to take in, he is all sort
of powerful, in all sort of different
ways, but one thing about his blog; Louis
Green don't play. It might have been
Mari Smith, because she is precious to
bring in tons of great info off of the
Michael Seltzner blog on social media, so
she might've mentioned Louis, but my
suspicion is that it was most likely
Chris "bayyyybeeee" who managed it.
Louis is exceptional, if you want
info and great info and tons of it,
his blog is impossible to beat, and
he tackles the tough issues of how to
do business head on. For example,
this week he headlined a time
management guru Peggy Duncan, and it
was just outstanding so don't pass up
this one.

Folks we're gonna continue this for sure
because we have about five more ways
that you can grow FASTER, like this, but
for now, let's just follow up with each
other and try to start using that YouTube
where visual becomes ever more real,
wouldn't you say?

Many of you who are going to be reading
my stuff soon, are going to right away
become frustrated with how I go "all up
around Robin's Red Barn," to make a point-
it's my writing style.  Look I want you
to stay with my writing, not because that
helps me; I'm 54 and headed out the door-
helping me is a done game- you on the
other hand, may be someone who can
look at these crazy ideas that come my
way (Oh oh, LOA...) and take them and
run with them?  Just please don't let
my out of the box, and barn, and state and country
and planet and universe - to say that I'm a bit unorthodox
in my writing- throw you, O.K.?  What you may
find built into what you read are simply subliminal
marketing meanings which will actually take root
as ideas and burst forth from you.  So keep with
the reading- and listening- because we will generate
some mess that will work itself out in your life
as an amazing amount of success- can promise you
that, have seen LOA do it to me- not the other way round.
That being said, here's a little video to back it up...

 Now while your still relatively fresh, let me ask you one other question- do you think we have a point here about things being different in rural country living and social media, than in the city?

Really appreciate you being here-

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Three levels of truth about your life, and your business- so that as your business goes, so goes many other things as well, wouldn't you say? So that the person who says, "I'm as successful as I want to be, I'm going to take it easy for a while." They are in the _________ category- how would you fill that one in? Now the person who says, "if I get one more irate phone call, I'm gonna scream." They are in the __________ category, how would you fill that in. "Well, geez, Dana," you might quip; "didn't know I was gonna get to take a test today..." It's just about over, one more to go and then we can see how we did...ready? The person who says, "If this idea has worked so well this last year, it's probably time to begin to think about something else, of course, I don't know what we'll do with the company as it is, but that's their problem, since I'm gonna sell it to them." _________ What category would you say that is, good, bad or ugly? And now, you'd like some answers wouldn't you? Hmm, email me - let's chat about that. Meanwhile, as you're thinking about it, enjoy this sort of funny video...
