Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to introduce Mr. Napoleon Hill

Refreshing??? I thought so too.  There is nothing like getting back to the basics.  It makes Rhonda Bryne look ignorant.

The Successful Psychological Triad of a SB Owner

Balancing three critical inner personas; that was what The E-Myth Revisited was all about.  I had never read it but apparently it's standard reading for the small business owner.  The "E-Myth" refers to the myth that all people who start a small business are entrepreneurs.

???Well aren't they???

Not exactly according to Michael Gerber, a small business guru and founder of E-Myth Worldwide.  Most small business owners were once frustrated technicians working under "The Man."  After becoming fed up with their former boss's antics these technicians experience an "entrepreneur seizure" (a moment of inspiration to open their own business).  Statistics show most of these technicians turned business owners fail quickly...

Why???

Gerber elegantly explains that their failure is due to an imbalance of three personas we all must nourish: "technician, "manager," and "entrepreneur."

If all of the above three are exercised a successful business will surely emerge.  Gerber claims most small business owners only play the technician role and thus fail to sustain the longevity of their business.  The technician is focused, perhaps obsessed, with doing things.  The technician knows how to get the job done and thus works like crazy.  But, what the technician does not do is see the big picture.  He does not take on the role of the entrepreneur who painstakingly analyzes the market.  The entrepreneur asks questions like "how will my business offer a new unique solution to the customer's problem," or "what market do I want to enter in the first place."  The entrepreneur pioneers a new market identity - something that is sure to pull in a niche group of paying customers.  He innovates the place in the market where his company will settle.

Of course there is need for the manager too.  Managers understand organization.  They are endowed with the ability to systematize ostensibly chaotic events to efficient lucrative processes.  They also find enjoyment in sometimes mundane filing work...

The book does a terrific job at explaining how these tree personas in each of us work together and sometimes against one another.  Gerber challenges the small business owner to engage every persona.  Better yet, he gives numerous examples, contrasting the features of successful and unsuccessful small businesses.

Recommend.

  

You're gonna be a F*&#ing Truck Driver! - Tony Robbins

Ok, so I stumbled upon this video by accident.  I was originally looking for a really good interview I had seen with Robbins not too long ago.  I'll post that soon.  

Did you ever wonder what Tony Robbins wrote in his fellow classmates' yearbooks???  You might be surprised...



If you watched the whole video you might have found how he integrated the yearbook story into the greater discussion.  The idea of becoming absolutely certain with onself and one's mission is tantamount to success.

What we can learn from Maximus

Let’s face it; Gladiator is one of the best movies ever made.  Who doesn’t finish watching it without feeling an internal strength emerging deep inside?  I started thinking about the movie and why it elicited such inspiration.  The main character Maximus’s exceptional spirit personifies the humble hero – the Christ hero.  It is not often we find men with such fortitude in mind and body. 

What are the characteristics/beliefs that shape Maximus?

1. Maximus sees beyond this life. 
• Prays often, honors his ancestors, believes in his family's reunion in the afterlife
2. Maximus's heart is where his home is. 
• Turns down an offer to be Caesar of Rome for the simplicity of a farmers life
3. Maximus finds strength in unity.
• understands the law of synergy in battle
4. Maximus is always focused on what's important.
• Caesar speculates on the abstract meaning of Rome while Maximus interjects with the fact that his men are dying. 

Our Most Essential Role

People often forget our most essential role in life; and when it's forgoten we often find ourselves lost.  The role was played by many in centuries past.  It beckoned the heart of many men and drove the imagination beyond its ordinary capacity. It lifted men over oceans and occasionally rewarded with treasures.

That role is the role of explorer, pioneer, seeker, adventurer. You are and must be an explorer.  Yes, Yes, the world has been traveled and territories siezed.  But remember we live in a new era.  This era presents a new frontier: the self or spirit.  We live in an information age where our minds are constantly bombarded with data.  Everywhere we look there is something vying for our attention, offerring ways-of-life and perspectives.

It is all to easy to forget the power of the person - that subjective passion Soren Kierkegaard wrote of- that enables ACTION.  Passion to unearth the truth, to find solutions, to risk, to move forward toward eternal happiness requires the mind of an explorer.

Open your mind. Read.  Act on what you read/learn/dream.  Afterward ask if it is working or if it is driving you closer to your life purpose.  If it is great!  If it is not, great!  If it is not chalk it up as territory already explored and in the future you may help another through that territory.

  

"Livng Health" Robbins introduces a radical new view of health

I've been a fan of Robbins for years now. His tools are real and produce real results. But, what makes him stand out is his radical mentality. This mentality is best evidenced in his "Living Health" program. The program was designed to dramatically improve a person's health. I had no idea what that required when I purchased the program. However, after two discs in I realized how paradigm-changing "Living Health" was. Robbins introduces a completely new perspective of what health means. By revealing the major faults of our modern day medical industry (and more importantly the faults in the philosophy it espouses), Robbins gradually submits a new audacious vision of health.

What is this new vision exactly?

Well, it pivots on the belief that so-long as one is not genetically predisposed to certain life threatening ailments, one has the vital potential to live forever. Now, he doesn't say that exactly but that is the underlying implication of his course.

How does he reason this crazy assertion?

Robbins claims to have spent many hours with the best thinkers in health. Particulary those who promote health on the cellular level. After years of studying, and testing the ideas himself, Robbins came to the conclusion the body needs cell support. His philosophy is to work from the smallest things in your body (cells) to the largest - a sort of "bottom up" approach. The way in which he introduces this idea is quite convincing. Manage your cells, give them exactly what then need, and you will have divine health.

Among other things, cells need oxygen. Robbins explains how to best satisfy your cell's oxygen needs and how to promote health in every body organ. He explains how to neatralize acid, something which destroys a cell, and increase your alkalinity.

Overall, the course was fun and eye opening. It is amazing how short sighted Doctors and today's health paradigm can be. We sometimes forget the natural strength our bodies possess.

Remember our bodies are our driving force in life. Our bodies influence everything from our general health to our psychological health. I would reccomend this product to anyone with an open mind and a drive to improve their energy.
As Tony would say: "Alkalize and Energize"
