See me as a person. See me for what’s great in me, and have room for what isn’t…
Secretly we all want to be acknowledged for what WE feel is great about us… not what YOU think is. But because we, humans, don’t see who others are… we only see who we are… we never feel seen, we never feel acknowledged for what we feel is good about us. Continue reading “See ME. Not a thing… ME as a person! Look again!”

What is my biggest challenge based on my experiences with my non-producing clients?
First off: Not everyone is a non-producer… this guy, Ray is not one.
Here is his story of how he got hired for his dream job..
A decade or so ago Ray was a programmer, and he hated his job, hated his life. It needed none of his personality, which is often the reason you hate your job. I hated architecture mainly for the same reason…
One day he heard about the option to be a ‘sales engineer’, a sales person to sell software, technical stuff… Talking… yeah, that was more up his alley.
The interview was to do a sales presentation in front of two women…
He had his powerpoint ready…
His first slide said: Warning! This presentation includes subliminal messages. That got the two women puzzled… Continue reading “What’s the difference between Ray and most people?”

Most people feel stuck. It doesn’t feel good. And they want to be unstuck… but they don’t know how.
Three questions can take you from where you are at now to movement… onto the path to wherever you would like to be.
I have lead a workshop about a hundred times that asked slightly different questions, and it strikes me funny now, that maybe I have been asking the questions that are ‘fixing’ based… not what I wanted.
The old workshop asked:
what’s working
what’s not working?
What are you doing in that area? Who are you being? (attitude) What are you having? (results)
Who would you need to be so what isn’t working can start working, maybe even brilliantly? Continue reading “Three questions to cause you to implement what you learn”

In this article I follow the meandering path that took me to the Bach Profiles and the insight… bear with me…
People throw about words that even they don’t know what it means.
Framework, wireframe, system, and many more, but I’ll stick with these…
But before I attempt to shed light at what hell using these undefined words cover up, let’s look at this phenomenon of using words to hide meanings.
To hide intentions.
To hide evil inclination, agenda, manipulation, etc.
And the most surprising thing to me is this: seemingly intelligent people, the students, the buyers, echo the words…
If the seller didn’t know what they meant, the buyer surely doesn’t know.
I have been observing this in my Trumpist friends…

What is the evolutionary difference between homo sapiens and human being?
Homo Sapiens is the evolutionary level where current humanity is. There is no one at the present time beyond that level.
I guess the famous and made up story of the 100th monkey is about an evolutionary leap, but it hasn’t happened.

Your worldview is holding you backFirst off: what is worldview? Worldview is how you see things, a set of lenses a set of assumptions that are invisible to you. It is a particular philosophy of life or concept of the world. Maybe even an ideology.
Religion is a worldview.
Democracy is also a worldview
Fascism is also a worldview Continue reading “Your worldview is holding you back. But what is it?”

… said Henry Ford in 1909 to his sales people… From Quora
The phenomenon of wanting to please everyone, wanting everyone to like you… is the hallmark of slavish people, needy people, who can’t and won’t be successful at anything.
If you are an entrepreneur, unless you rein this neediness in, and internalize that no one needs to like you… you won’t be successful… because slaves are never successful.
Who are the people who really choose providers, coaches, teachers by who they like are the same people who won’t like you if and when you do what you need to do to take care of yourself. They consider you fodder… ‘I like my meat well done… I like my trainer to be nice, naive, and putty in my hands.’
No distinction.
Same if you are a whore of sorts… Continue reading “You can choose any color as long as it’s black”

You are supposedly the peak of evolution… and you supposedly have a brilliant tool: your thinking brain. But when you only use it to do mind-functions, remembering and recalling, you use only 1-3% of its power… and you are a slave. Unless you have the courage to learn to use your brain correctly… you’ll remain a slave.
A famous physics professor, one day, was shaking his head.
‘I can’t teach them physics the way I learned physics’ he complained.
I interview students for my graduate program, and they are all, almost all, unable to think for themselves.
When they show up for the interview, I ask them: Why are you wearing the suit jacket you are wearing?

Do you hate to learn new things because every time you do, it somehow tells you that you have been wrong? Or not enough? Not good enough?
Well, toughen up princess…
But otherwise it’s normal. I know.
As a child I lived across the street from my elementary school.
I was nearly seven when I went to school, I was born September 4. My mother held me back because I was so tiny. My brother was two years older.
On the first day of school… Continue reading “Emotional toughness, resilience can help you getting there”

Is it dyslexia that makes these entrepreneurs successful, or is it the strategy they developed to manage and overcome the effects of dyslexia?
There are disproportionately more dyslexic entrepreneurs than in the rest of society? Society: 5-20%. Entrepreneurs: 35%
It’s not an accident.
I have dyslexia. My younger brother has dyslexia. He is six years younger than me. we are as different as two people can be. I am a risk taker, he isn’t. I am an entrepreneur. He isn’t. I read a lot, he doesn’t. I am a loner, he is a family man.
I have always seen the world differently… and was called amoral, stupid, fearless, weird, and people, including my mother looked at me with puzzlement on their faces… like WTF? Continue reading “Not dyslexic? What can you learn from dyslexic entrepreneurs?”
