The Traveling SOB

Just came back from the Veteran Speakers Retreat in Boiling Springs,
PA.  Yes, there is such a place!  This is where I was honored as a
Legend in the Speaking Profession in 2007 and I had the privilege
of introducing another Legend posthumously.  It was a wonderful
event and many of the well known speakers of the industry were
there.  Very remote however, and internet and cell phone were
on and off, but relaxation was the key of the day.

Attended a wonderful women’s networking dinner in San Diego when
I was there and I must say there were some dynamic yet soulful
women at the meeting.  I think it is wonderful that we can be
strong and smart and still be compassionate and kind.  I say if
women were running the world, there would be less war, better
harmony and more satisfied employees.

Went to a mastermind group as well, and the brilliance there was
amazing.  Word to the wise–listen to everyone, but make up your
own mind.  You can’t follow everyone at once, but you can weigh
their words and see what works for you.  Just don’t every stop
learning or you will fade into little bits and pieces.

Question and Answer:

Q:  I really feel “ucky.”  I don’t think I look good, I am
discouraged with my life, and I think I’m on automatic pilot.
I’ve got nice friends, but I have little in common with their
lives and feel like a duck out of water. Any advice?

A:  Well, there’s a lot not said between those lines, so I am
going out on a wing and a prayer here.  First remember, the
most important person to believe in you is you.  What is your
secret dream or desire?  What would make your heart just sing?
How would you like your day to look like?  Once you can answer
those questions, you will have the ability to design your life.
And even design your friends with the kind of people you would
get excited about.  Then write me back and I will be able to
help you with more specifics.

social events by speaking clearly and succinctly.
2.  Make your telephone calls during a given time period.  They
will go much more smoothly.
3.  You can choose your day or it can choose you.  Don’t be
bored.  Make every day special.
