I Don’t Generally Play Games … But If I Must …. (SIGH)

Someone named Laura Howard West CPCC (that is a coaching certification – Laura is a Coach for People With Chronic Crapola) has ‘tagged me’. Now Laura. Dear. I don’t generally play games – I find them tedious. But if I must, I must. And we all know I’m ALL about networking … even if it requires so-called game playing.

I’m supposed to tell you seven ‘random’ things about me. Well, need I even explain that NOTHING in our Universe is random? And certainly nothing in my life is, nor is it “weird” – not even the fact that I live entirely on a diet of indigenous prairie grass. Unusual, yes. Weird? No.

Will you people just stop BOTHERING me?!

Alright … ALRIGHT! Twice tonight I had my droning meditations interrupted by people insisting I share with them a link to my call today with Ms. Andrea Lee. Ms. Lee graciously provided me with her own recording and so I can offer up a webpage with a link for listening.

And you may listen — but do keep in mind I take no responsibility whatsoever for any injuries to pride, reputation, business acumen or marketing skills that may result.

Now … back to my yurt. I need to meditate!

My Top Ten New Year’s Assertions

Personally, I don’t much believe in all those resolutions that get bandied about at New Years. They are meant to ‘resolve’ a problem, and how often do any of us actually stick to them and make them work?

Instead, I like New Year’s assertions. They begin with the positive premise that you didn’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to improve, and here’s simply what you’re going to do next. Better, don’t you think? Frankly, I’m just not good at wallowing in shame.

Here are my assertions for 2006:

Why You Need a Signature Look Now!

If you want to make a big hit with the media, it helps to have a signature look. Especially if you want to do television. Mine is my hemp headband, and I?m convinced it?s one of the things that got me on Geraldo! in the mid-Eighties. In fact, back in the green room, Geraldo himself actually asked me if he could try it on!

Consider the biggies. Steven Covey. Jack Canfield. Marianne whatever-her-name-is ? not ONE of them is doing the hemp headband. No one! But I am.

The Only Entity I Channel … and Why

In my opinion, those other so-called ‘gurus’ who channel disembodied entities like Abraham Hicks and Seth are making a grave mistake. You’ll never catch me allowing some other entity to speak through me!

Why? Because I’m building a brand here!

For a while I was being visited by the ghost of Jerry Garcia – and I liked Jerry enormously. (I used to listen to ‘Sugar Magnolia’ all the time back in my psychedelic period.) But I’m not going to actually channel Jerry or anyone else for that matter. I simply don’t think that’s the best use of my personal bandwidth.
