There are really two types of people when it comes to making more money: one group will chase the mirage, the lottery approach, winning, betting on schemes… and the other, the tiny group that sees that making more money is a natural fallout of becoming worth a damn. ((
))
I am interested in talking to the second group, the tiny group.
You see, knowing that you should become worth a damn is nice and dandy… but knowing with pinpoint accuracy where y
Latticework can be likened to a Christmas Tree.
I once had a boy friend who bought tree ornaments as gifts every Christmas. Even to people who didn’t have a tree… ;-/
One of the barriers to real knowledge, I have found in my students, is compartmentalizing.
The opposite of compartmentalizing is the integrative approach…
I first saw this phenomenon in 1988, when i first read the famous book, What Color Is Your Parachute.
The core of that book is completely wasted on 99% of the readers. The core that talks about portable, transferable skills.
The reason people don’t get it, because they cannot see the integrative aspec
I had an interesting insight this morning.
Putting a price tag on any coaching is going to be a lie. My strategy sessions. My 67 step coaching. My health consultations. My Water Energizer. My Heaven on EArth…
Really, almost any product.
For two reasons:
1. the value is in the eye of the buyer…
2. the value literally changes with what the buyer can and will do with it.
The client needs to become ready to use the coaching and generate big value with it. ((Cooking recipes come to mind. Unless you know cooking without recipes, unless you develop a feel for what works together, every recipe will be a disaster for you.
Here is an example.

When I ask a question, either on the phone or on a webinar, I feel where the person I am asking is looking for an answer. 99% of the time the person is looking in their head. As if that … Continue reading
This morning I am running on fumes… (or how to increase your Twitchy Little Bastard ((TLB – Twitchy Little Bastard; a person who is counterproductively anxious for results. Who has no ability to control his urges…)) score)
Some activities fill you up, some activities drain your energy.
One of the most important capacities one can develop is to tell the difference… and start managing one’s energy.
Sometimes you give your energy to another and get back nothing… Maybe money, but money does not fill you up. Money does not give you energy. It may buy groceries… but even groceries only give you physical energy.
The depletion is of psychic energy, of spiritual energy, of intellectual energy. Experiments and tests show that if you have the right attitude, high level of interest, and you are coherent: you can receive as much as 7% of what is being said. Word based communication. Re-listening or re-reading the same thing won’t improve the percentage much. Why? Because what you think is there replaces, effectively, what you hear or read the second time. This is what is normal.

The one common characteristic I have found is books. People who become worth a damn are readers. Even more importantly than being a reader: the most important commonality is when they started to read. I just read in Wikipedia about Howard Zinn: Both parents were factory workers with limited education when they met and married, and there were no books or magazines in the series of apartments where they raised their children. Zinn’s parents introduced him to literature by sending ten cents plus a coupon to the New York Post for each of the 20 volumes of Charles Dickens’ collect From her answers it has become clear that “using ego” is not a commonplace conversation, and that it needs instruction. So let’s see what ego is, and what it isn’t. Ego is a lot like a kitchen knife: you can use it for good, for useful, or for harm… kill with it. You can also use it to clean it under your nails… somewhat useful, but not the right tool… You can also call it bad, and ban it from your house. ((It is also a lot like a nail. It concentrates the energy so it can go through thick planks Arrogance is unearned boastful superiority. To the uninitiated, they look and sound the same. But they aren’t. You only need to scratch the surface. I have detected a certain ancestral commonality in that behavior. And have been pondering why and how and for what purpose are certain nationalities arrogant. It is human nature to be self-critical, it is because of our ambivalent nature of feeling everything and the opposite. There is no one on the planet who is all good. It is not possible. It is a physical impossibility. It’s unnatural. You have to be good and you have to be bad, and you have to have high t
If I asked you: how many percentage of what I say or write in my articles actually lands accurately in you? Books? Lectures?
If I asked you: how many percentage of what I say or write in my articles actually lands, accurately in you?What is also normal is to believe that you got 100%. And for the speaker to think that you can get more than 7%.
What is in common, what is a shared characteristic among people who become worth a damn?
There is not much in common. It is not talent. It is not ethnicity. Not personality. Not schooling. Not religious affiliation.
Why do we have an ego, and how can we make it really useful? You don’t have any part that is not useful!
I just had a “conversation” with a student, where I suggested that she uses ego to support her growth. Arrogance.
I have been dealing with arrogance in my students.
Most people don’t know, don’t care because they themselves are not achievers… but you can have confidence that is justified by your accomplishments, your superior knowledge. What is the vibration of being right?
One of the most desired possibilities, one of the most desired life anyone can have is a life where you are free to be yourself, warts and all.
