Stop And Smell The Music

What’s written below was sent to me. I didn’t write it.

It describes a Washington Post story, for which I’ve found and included the link to below.

I’m filled with a desire to comment. But will just allow those of you who seek enlightenment about the simple things to read it for yourself.

I’ve said too much already. Here it is:

------------— 

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and  started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach  pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was  calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on  their way to  work.

Three  minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He  slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his  schedule.

A  minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the  money in the open case, and without stopping, continued to  walk.

A  few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the  man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for  work.

The  one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother moved  him along hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the  mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the  time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents,  without exception, forced them to move  on.

 In  the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a  while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk at their normal pace. He  collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed  it. No one applauded, nor was there any  recognition.

No  one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in  the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a  violin worth 3.5 million  dollars.

Two  days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in  Boston, and the seats averaged  $100.

 This  is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was  organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about  perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a  commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we  stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected  context?

One  of the possible conclusions from this experience could  be:

If  we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the  world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we  missing?  

----------–

 I found the link for the original article, "Pearls Before Breakfast":   

http://budurl.com/skpj Author, Gene Weingarten won a Pulitzer Prize for this article.

Oops, but my desire to comment is still here. 

One of the reasons you’ll be hearing so much from from me about “Your Inner Wizard,” is that when we come from a more centered inner place, our consciousness need not be so scattered. 

Practice and reminders are the keys to greater awareness. 

It’s understandable that those rushing through the station might be late for trains, jobs, appointments, etc., no matter how good the music was, pre-set priorities may take precedence. 

But then, sometimes, we just have to stop and smell the music. It’s really all around us. 

Oh, I know, “smell” the music makes no sense. 

Or does it?

Have a smelly day.

You may have seen my previous posts regarding The Great Depression. More millionaires were created during those harshest times in modern history than at any other time!

Why? How? 

I recently wrote on my Twitter account, ( www.Twitter.com/TomJustin ) imagine what they could have done in the Great Depression if they’d had today’s technology.  Seriously, just imagine it! 

Is this a tough economy? For the true believers, yes. 

Those who believe that what is true for the masses must also be true for them. They are the 95 percenters who strive for average. Nothing wrong with them, they are the backbone of the world. 

It’s the 5 percenters who create jobs, money, opportunities, share their knowledge and help advance others. You are either in this group or ready to step into it right now.

What previously “comfortable” people discover is that they must now innovate by necessity. Some minds are dulled when they have just enough. But when challenges emerge, some begin finding new ways to either maintain their status quo or even to thrive.

Forbes Magazine recently projected that 79 million people will be starting their own home businesses in the next couple of years. This should have great meaning for all of us. 

It’s a growing market to pay attention to. Whether you are starting your own, building it bigger (or wanting to) or supplying expertise to other entrepreneurs.

In the ‘30s, those with few resources had to either scratch out a living, stand in soup lines or both. Or, they began solving their most pressing problem; how to survive. Some, because of having to think differently surprised even themselves by actually thriving in a negative economy.

This is true today. It is happening right now. You, by virtue of reading this far, being on this list, thinking about improvement, or taking forward action, are in the potential-to-thrive category.

I heard a quote the other day, “First do what is necessary, then what is possible, from there you can create miracles.” 

Wow! Look at that sequence. In other words, survive first. But the biggie is “what is possible.” What is possible? 

You’ve probably heard it all, positive thinking, “The Secret,” “Think And Grow Rich,” “The Attractor Factor,” manifestation techniques, etc. 

All of these are great. But still, most people find it difficult to believe what is possible for them. It’s so broad. So many choices, methods, techniques, books, videos . . . ahhhhhhhhhhh!

To thrive for some people would seem miraculous. I encourage those people to erase that mindset or at least, and this costs nothing, imagine the feeling of absolute success, whatever that means to you. What would that feel like?

Unlike 1929, most of us are on overwhelm with literally too much to choose from. The key is to isolate an interest and follow through. 

I’ll be talking more about the opportunities in these down times later. You do have choices. Massive choices. But it’s hard to see through the horrendous smoke that the media and government keeps throwing at us that obscures the possibilities. 

Write this note to yourself and keep it where you can see it daily.

What is possible?

Look at all the losers in the world who later became rich, famous, adored, major contributors to our well-being, or are known simply because they overcame tremendous obstacles.

Consider the possibilities. Why not you? Write out the answer to that question but don’t edit yourself. 

Your Inner Wizard knows.

We’ll keep on this topic and be exploring the possibilities. 

Dear Santa,

I only want one little thing for Christmas. So, in the spirit of giving and receiving, I'm going to continue to give my book, "How To Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed" to people all over the world Until Dec. 31st.

It's about how to profit from rejection, failure, and disappointment. Since it's now also in a digital version my friends can just register (so they get the current and future bonuses) and the link will appear and they can download it immediately.

So, Santa, here's my one little thing. I just want an Apple MacBook Pro 15" laptop computer with the 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

I know you know this already, but the Apple people already made a bunch of these, so your elves won't have to get all confused with new tech stuff. Besides, you may recall that Steve Jobs' lawyers sent you that little note about my iPod a few years ago. . . but thanks again for that!

In fact, if you want to save energy on the reindeer, just go ahead and mail my new MacBook Pro to the address below. But should you come to the house, don't worry, the dogs will be given sedatives just before bedtime, just like last year. Not as much, though. They were loaded for days.

Oh, and I'll leave cookies again too. Sorry about last year, it was late and I ate all but that half that I left you with the milk in a champagne bucket. More cookies this year, I promise. I mean, for you, not me.

So, Santa, thank you in advance for my beautiful new laptop. It will surely help me and all my members in the coming years.

Merry Christmas,

Tommy

P.S. Here's the link to my book on overcoming rejection and disappointment. I sure hope I don't have to read it again on the 26th. You know, like I did last year! F-R-E-E BOOK and bonuses: http://budurl.com/rbqf

P.P.S. Feel free to give the link out to those who could use a good pick me up. Just look what Larry King, Jack Canfield and a bunch of other readers had to say about the book too. FREE BOOK and bonuses: http://budurl.com/rbqf

P.P.P.S OK, Santa, you can also give out my endless coupon link to only the best little boys and girls . . . well 16 and over anyhow: http://budurl.com/tn8a

It's here for the Holidays

A few years ago I found a free way to have fun during the holidays. Now I’ve discovered that it works year round!

If it’s not fun, it can sure feel good. Judge for yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING:  Cynics turn back now before it’s too late.
This feels way too good and may neutralize your negativity. You’ve been warned!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several years ago I was driving in heavy traffic on a jammed  L.A. street. The December Holiday rush was on and  competition for L.A. driving space was worse than usual–and nobody was looking very jolly, me included.

I was crawling along in the right lane, late for an   appointment. I was trying to make it to the next street  where a right turn would place me only  a few blocks from  my client's office.

I could feel myself clenching, like I was trying to will the  cars ahead of me to move faster or maybe even disappear!  No wonder I had a backache.

If you’d told me at that moment what I was about to do, I wouldn’t have believed you. Even now, years later, it’s still a vivid memory.

The car ahead of me approached a strip mall's  driveway where a couple of cars had been waiting  to exit onto the busy street. The already slow moving traffic was almost bumper to bumper.

I barely noticed that the car in front of me had sped up to close the gap,  leaving no room to allow the hapless driver to escape her mall confinement.

By the time the line started to move, my impatience  was getting higher. How much later would I be? The traffic signal a half block away began to look like a palm tree in an oasis. Almost there, I thought. “C’mon, move!” I said out loud to the cars ahead.

Three years ago, a little boy and his grandmother came to see Santa at Mayfair Mall in Wisconsin. The child climbed up on his lap, holding a picture of a little girl.

"Who is this?" asked Santa, smiling. "Your friend? Your sister?"

"Yes, Santa," he replied. "My sister, Sarah, who is very sick," he said sadly.

Santa glanced over at the grandmother who was waiting nearby, and saw her dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

"She wanted to come with me to see you, oh, so very much, Santa!" the child exclaimed. "She misses you," he added softly.

Santa tried to be cheerful and encouraged a smile to the boy's face, asking him what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas.

When they finished their visit, the Grandmother came over to help the child off his lap, and started to say something to Santa, but halted.

"What is it?" Santa asked warmly.

"Well, I know it's really too much to ask you, Santa, but ..." the old woman began, shooing her grandson over to one of Santa's elves to collect the little gift which Santa gave all his young visitors. "The girl in the photograph ... my granddaughter well, you see ... she has leukemia and isn't expected to make it even through the holidays," she said through tear-filled eyes. "Is there any way, Santa, any possible way that you could come see Sarah? That's all she's asked for, for Christmas, is to see Santa."

You might feel rejected if. . .I hope you will get at least a smile from the first part of this. After that are some practical reminders for getting “unblued” during the season.

Even if the "Holiday Blues" don’t apply to you, you can pass them on to others, this newsletter, not the blues. Let's just have some fun along the way.

Below is an updated media release we sent out last year. It was so popular I've been asked to update it and include it again this year.

There is also a special note for you at the bottom too!

But for now, just enjoy.

Holiday Blues? Feeling Rejected?
Here’s How To Deal With The Down Days

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAS VEGAS December 8, 2008

Holiday Blues?

Tom Justin, author of "How To Take No For An Answer And  Still Succeed," (How to Turn Everyday Rejections Into Profit  And Abundance) offers these humorous Holiday tips. Then on  a more serious note, he presents, “Six Guaranteed Ways To  Really Enjoy The Holidays and Beat The Blues!”

There are very good reasons for many to feel rejected,  disappointed and just plain blue on a holiday when everyone  else seems to be in high spirits.

9 Ways You Might Feel Rejected During The Holidays:

• If Santa Claus ate all your cookies but didn't leave a present,  you might feel rejected.

• If, at a party, more than one person asks if you've been taking  your medication and they've never met you before, you might  feel rejected.

• If you're not invited to the office Christmas party – and you’re  the boss, you might feel rejected.

• Your best friend told you to cheer up, things could be worse.  So you cheered up and sure enough, things got worse.

• If you were expecting an engagement ring at Christmas, but  instead, your boyfriend gives you a microwave oven, you might  feel rejected.

• If you ask your wife to go to the neighbor's New Years Eve  party but she already has a date, you might feel rejected.

• If all your gifts you receive this year are the exact same gifts  you gave last year, with the same wrappings, you might feel  rejected.

• Instead of having a star named after you for your Christmas  present, you got a membership in Procrastinators Anonymous,  you might feel rejected.

• If you receive an anonymous application for Extreme  Makeover– more than once, you might feel rejected.

And Now. . .

6 Guaranteed Ways To Really Enjoy The Holidays Right Through 2009

1. Search daily for reasons to be grateful. Concentrate on what  you have, not what you lack.

2. Be forgiving. Forgive others, especially if you're going to be  seeing them, even your in-laws. Forgive yourself for your  errors and any other transgressions you've made throughout  the year.
3. Find new and unique ways to express your appreciation and  love for friends and relatives.
4. Don't try to treat the "holiday blues" with holiday booze; it  will just cause deeper shades of blue.
5. If you're happy be sure to tell your face. If you're not, tell  your face to fake it.
6. Don't compare your gifts or station in life to others,  especially your friends and family. Your loved ones know  you're doing the best you can. You can resolve to do better.  Let it be   a motivation, not a holiday "blue note."

Remember, if you haven't been rejected, disappointed or  failed recently, you aren't living close enough to your  potential.

Do you dare to activate?

Dreams are just dreams until action is taken.

Action creates results.

Unfortunately, most people know those results as failures.

Yes, it's true, there are far more failures than successes in life.

Almost all great inventions, except those discovered by "mistake" took failure, (AKA trial and error) after failure, after failure, before succeeding.

Oh, but there are many more great success stories and new wealth that were created by a decision to activate. Sometimes without failing at all!

But how many potentially great ideas have been lost or abandoned by a single failure? A silent quitting.

Great wealth, inventions, books, aids to humanity or just the small comfort of more success for one person, all abandoned in the face of fear or a single failure or even fear of failure.

But wait! There are also many great success stories of people who'd had enough. Determined to do it right, they activated a dream or idea into a plan and accomplished great material, physical, or emotional success.

Activation is cheap. Failure is is expensive but always temporary if more activation follows.

Apathy and fear are the bars and locks  of the lowly "what-might-have-beens."

A great idea on a long walk, once written or thought about is often clouded with the memory of past failures. Hence, no activation.

Even in my corporate consulting I've found CEO's holding on to potentially great ideas without activating them or even discussing them with their vice presidents. What if they failed big time? Everyone would see.

Companies led by such timid souls were often mediocre, compared with what they could have been. Companies don’t fail or succeed, people do.

All success is the result of courage. The courage to act with the potential to fail. But what about the potential to succeed?

So, I offer a very special activation holiday special.

You and I will spend an hour together. Whatever that part of your life that you want or need to activate will be explored and the methods and ideas will be discussed.

Activate Here

Success and accomplishment along with happiness and less stress come from intelligent and sometimes guided activation of our dreams and desires.

This is truly a gift that you can give to yourself and your family.

You needn't be alone on this. Your session will be a powerful and positive step in your personal activation beyond any single idea you may have now.

Earlier today I received an email and the sender said, “I love you.”

Now, who doesn’t like that? More on that in a moment.

For those of us in the USA it’s Thanksgiving, a day of gratitude. For others, I hope it’s also a day of gratitude for you.

At some time, either long ago or recently, you registered to be on my list. For that I am very grateful to you for doing so, and I thank you again for your interest and your trust and staying with me.

If you’ve been with me for awhile you know that my punctuation often suffers, but my goals are clear.

I will provide you with a combination of self-help, personal empowerment tools, business possibilities and information to assist you to lead more fulfilling lives, even if in some very small way.

Some things I send may have no immediate interest to you, but as one reader said, “the next thing could be a knock out.”

I believe that all people are living in one of three levels in life. Anyone can regress or advance at any time. My goal is to assist us all towards number 3 and to stay there!

1. Existence
2. Survival
3. Thriving

Activation is the key factor to all of your past and future successes.

Every time you’ve accomplished anything of a positive nature you had to activate, first from within beginning with your desire and intention, then your creative approach toward accomplishment, then the manifesting action to the result.

Sometimes it’s trial and error. When you learned to ride a bike you likely did not get on the first time and just ride off. If you’re like I was, scraped knees, torn pants, and learning new words that mom and dad would punish you for were all part of the process.

Right now there is an activation inside of you that you’ve already considered. It’s an activation that could bring you a better life, more money, powerful relationships, and a myriad of potential accomplishments.

Can you feel it, pulsating, ready to activate when you command.

First, if you aren’t sure what this is, and I promise you, it’s there, ask yourself a few clarifying questions. What is it you desire and don’t have? What goals do you have that you haven’t activated the process toward achieving yet? What are you delaying and why?

In a negative economy many people regress into a reactive state. They react with fear, or worse, paralysis. They react to the negative news and believe that everyone is in trouble.

An old friend of mine had a very successful mortgage business for the past 5 years. He did extremely well. That business dwindled to nothing.

As the economy was slipping deeper and deeper, he began to look for new opportunities. He found one in the wireless phone business. He’d never been in that business before. Four months later he’s earning at least $25,000 a month!

He has close friends in the mortgage business who are still crying the blues, even though he’s offered them the opportunity to join him.

He activated! He’s activating others too. Some won’t listen or believe. What’s a mortgage guy know about telecom?

What do you know about your dreams? Why haven’t you activated for those?

Do you need help? Most of us do at one time or another.

America and other democratic countries are run by the energy of entrepreneurs. While our attention is the major employers, especially in an economic crisis, it belies the power of the independent businessperson.

A negative economy drives formerly satisfied employees to seek part time income or second jobs. The lure of the independent business opportunities becomes more attractive. Couch potatoes become mouse potatoes as they seek new financial opportunities online.

To become a victim of opportunity one must make decisions on hope and not knowledge. Hype and not focused questions. Fear and not a positive and thoughtful approach for long term success instead of short term hopeful fixes.

The following entrepreneur opportunities are the most prevalent opportunities being presented today:

• Franchising
• Sole proprietorship businesses
• The Internet
• MLM

 Here's a capsized version of each one. I’ve made significant to  large sums of money in each except franchising. But my experience there is as a researcher when I was consulting to Entrepreneur magazine and rewriting and editing their “Entrepreneur’s Encyclopedia.”

Did you have a reality check and it bounced?

Okay, the stock market is dropping like a Las Vegas drunk on New Years Eve. Layoffs abound. The US government is nationalizing the banking system with tens of billions of dollars, the top 3 automakers in the US are begging for bailout money . . .

Need I say more? It’s that time. It’s that tough time. All people have it at one or more times in their lives and so do economies.

Believing makes it so. For those who’ve been laid off or who are witnessing their 401 K’s tanking, their stocks dragging knuckles like a caveman or just plain fear is welling up in anticipation of the media fear circus, there is GOOD NEWS.

The truth is a lie. Oh, it’s the truth as far as the economy, layoffs, etc., go, but it’s a lie if you say it is.

Huh?

First, positive thinking, wishful dreams and hoped for outcomes are, by themselves, useless. Yes, good attitudes are required, but action will be required.

Let’s look at reality check number 1. Everyone is suffering terribly.

Okay, if that’s so, then how is it that on November 21st, the day following a horrific week of stock market downturns, did this happen?

Only a few months earlier I had an office at Universal Studios, a pending TV production deal, an acting star partner and a rosy future.

This night found me in a  Bakersfield, California Howard Johnson’s Motel coffee shop sitting across from a self-described uneducated, ignorant “Okie.”

How Did I Get To This Place?

After the cancellation of our production deal, Universal wanted their office space. My partner was busy with his acting career and I was out with little money left to do much of anything.

Through a series of events too long to explain, I ended up back in sales, which I’d done on and off from the time I was a teenager.

The company I’d joined was fairly new but growing. I was an independent rep and solely responsible for my own everything, all expenses with not even a commission draw. But I loved their product and knew it could succeed. But could I?

Being “in sales,” in my mind was a real step down from the glamor of show biz, though I hadn’t been making much money, even with the studio office and Cadillac . I was depressed and stuck.

Their national sales manager, Kurt, was an affable, tall good looking guy who could charm the most cynical, including me.

I really didn’t know what to do next. I had lots of options, but the money wasn’t coming fast enough. The promise of fast growth seemed to be happening to others in the company but not to me.

The Rich Get Richer

Is that true? It seems that way.

It’s often said in a way that makes it seem unfair to everyone else.

Is it unfair?

How does this apply to the average income earner?

Can the poor get average, then rich, and then richer?

If they understand one simple principle over all others, absolutely!

This is powerful stuff and I’m glad I found it. You will be too.

Let’s say a husband and wife start a small business. It flourishes. They carefully build a customer base that becomes a loyal customer list. Buyers buy, satisfied customers buy and return or come back when called.

So, more and more money pours into their little business. They have to hire some more people, get more equipment, balance the expense of growth with net income, all considerations to continual growth and profitability.

So, are they getting richer? Maybe and maybe not.

Expansion often reduces net income. It takes awhile to catch up. Some don’t get rcher because they forget or neglect what got them there.

Why? Here’s where the smart rich get richer.

They repeat what worked, then repeat it again. That’s not all. . .

They make continual improvements. They try something new, balancing the risk/reward ratio each time. Maybe invest in new information or technology.

Some things work, some don’t. They lean how to balance their risk.

But then they keep going back to what got them there, what worked and make a continual improvement, sometimes small tweaks.

As they gain more income, they are getting “richer,” they gain more responsibility and cost and taxes. They are now third party income creators for every new hire they make. More people are making money because they are getting richer.

The rich get richer because of their awareness of continual improvement or the Japanese word, Kaizen. Of course compound interest helps too.

Mark Joyner, as you may have seen in my previous post, http://budurl.com/8tw3 is capable of showing others how he’s used systems, techniques and tactics to create tens of millions of dollars in sales for his company.

His marketing plan, marketing strategies, how he markets online and other powerful information are always included in his tutorials.

But, what’s not been obvious to the casual user, is kaizen!

Understanding and applying this concept may seem easy. If you are marketing online, working from home, for instance, you might apply a Kaizen approach by adding a new product sooner than before and letting your customer base know.

You could take a course to learn how to create your own digital products and suddenly realize a much higher profit per sale. Continual improvement! Kaizen.

The question is, how to do this consistently and how to balance the responsibilities of running your business effectively by making these incremental changes?

You create a regular kaizen event! How? What are the techniques to doing this?

In a few hours, Mark opens his new membership The Kaizen Club, which if you are seeking to improve yourself or your business, you will not miss.

If you missed my previous post about Mark or don’t know him yet, take a look at it.

You can also take a look at his blog now:

There’s some great info in preparation for what he’s about to release.

I’ll be sending you more information later today before he opens his site at 8:00 PM Eastern. Just in case you miss it, right at 8 PM Eastern, you can go here:

More power to you,

Tom

P.S. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur to use Kaizen. It’s for all personal improvement. Employee, father, mother, wife, husband, life. It is so powerful, don’t allow the simplicity to color the true power of what you’re about to see! http://budurl.com/kaizen

When the problem is that there is not enough; not enough money, time, knowledge, relationships or even self-confidence, there is an amazing solution available to you.

When your goal is to create long term not singular success, a different kind of consciousness has to be applied.

There are many complicated methods, techniques and applications for this accomplishment, some worthy of post graduate degree knowledge.

But what if the understanding a single word and using its concept could make all the difference in your long term and even short term outcome?

It’s amazing, but this seemingly simple concept may be responsible for more success stories than almost any other single technique known to mankind, even for those who never heard of this word before.

No, this isn’t hype, in fact, it will be clear to you how simple this is, yet how profound it is too. And it's absolutely provable!

The word is kaizen. Japanese for “continual improvement.”

Well, you might think, that’s obvious. Continual improvement is the ideal for any business.

But, as with any “simple” concept, the reality of application can be be easily lost, especially among the desperate who seek a sudden and dramatic positive, maybe even miraculous shifts.

Applying some of the techniques learned by the masters of kaizen may create these shifts, but regardless of your needs, understanding kaizen and applying it with masterful assistance may be life enhancing for you for years to come.

Mark Joyner is a masterful practitioner of this art. Though he’s never spelled it out like he’s about to do. His success is 3-D in almost every visible arena he’s entered.

As a former Army Intelligence officer with the highest possible security clearance, he moved into the early world of online marketing as a true pioneer.

Before the technology was friendly, he created paradigm shifts. He simplified the complex and helped create a multi-billion dollar businesses that reverberate to this day.

He is the creator of Simpleology, the masterful system of success that tens of thousands of people are using around the world.

There are 20 something millionaires who owe their successes directly to the marketing strategies that Mark Joyner created. But how?

Entrepreneurs hope for marketing ideas to save the day, and some will. The challenge is, in part, due to the way any marketing plan is created then implemented.

Mark Joyner’s techniques have been to create, act, succeed, succeed some more, simplify the process, then share it with others. When he profits, so do others, repeatedly!

Yet successful events do not mean long term successes. Or as the saying goes; “Win the battle, lose the war.” Long term success is the ultimate challenge for anyone seeking to be above average in income and life.

Every long term successful person or company may show a series of events that contributed to their success. But “under the hood” is the quiet but powerful hum of kaizen.

Mark is now about to share his highest level of successful methods with a worldwide audience.

Whether you are marketing online with your business, a corporate manager or a current or future entrepreneur, you will miss a magnificent opportunity if you fail to see the marketing strategies that are possible with kaizen as explained by Mark Joyner.

Whether the story about one man who lost 35 pounds with one simple  change that caused continuous improvement or of rags to riches, long term success examples, Mark’s research and application of Kaizen will show you the way.

His site isn’t available until November 6, but you can view his blog and get some ideas and even win a full year of membership in his organization.

The question you have to ask is, is your marketing strategy enough? What don’t you know? Could you create a kaizen event that would create a real difference?

So, be sure to visit his blog at; http://budurl.com/mb8r or on November 6, at 8 PM Eastern go to his site; http://budurl.com/kaizen  and see for yourself.

Watch for his kaizen event coming on Thursday and it will be available  after that.

quitting is."

Tom's Coaching Page

It's great fun to be surprised. To find unexpected inspiration and at the same time learn new things.

I love it. Here's what happened a couple of days ago.

I was at a seminar this weekend, (Ken McArthur’s JV Alert) primarily for a couple of meetings on Friday.

Ken graciously  invited me to stay through the weekend. I didn’t have the time, so of course, I accepted.

I did not plan to arrive Saturday at 8 a.m. for his first speaker of the day, A woman I hadn’t heard of before. Especially a trek that early to the opposite side of the city.

Friday evening I was going through the lineup for the rest of the weekend. All I saw was her name and I got a strong “click” to go. Am I glad that I did!

On top of being a terrific speaker, she has a very clever 3 minute movie I think you’ll enjoy.

Carrie Wilkerson, cleverly branded as The Barefoot Executive. She was inspiring with a great story that simultaneously entertained and educated. A highly unique structure and ability.

I told her that I thought she was one of the best speakers I’ve seen in many years. She asked if I would do a video testimonial, which I happily agreed to do.

Carrie is a natural promoter, in the best sense of the word.

I said that I thought she was a professional killer. Her story is so powerful that with what she’s accomplished in a short period of time with all the challenges that she was surrounded with, she will kill anyone's excuses for not being where they want to be.

I told a friend of mine that I was going to do a blog post about her. He said she is actually, in some areas, one of my competitors.

If you read my post last month about Bernie’s Coffee Shop, that extraordinary young woman, when  asked about a neighboring competitor, her response was; “She’s not a competitor, she’s an inspiration.”

So too is Carrie Wilkerson.

Among other things, Carrie is a master at working from home. How she began not one, but four home based businesses and turned each into a success story is an education unto itself.

Below is her short 3 minute film, "The Boss Movie,"  that’s played around the world. You’ll see why it’s so popular. 

Pop over to her site, The Barefoot Executive and see for yourself.

It must be my fault that I'd never heard of her before. But she's a future super star, so that won't be a problem for very long.

An old friend and I were reminiscing the other night. We were talking about survival and thriving, giving up (almost) and getting up (sometimes slowly).

She reminded me of some things that I'd survived in my life that I don't think much about. I've been:

• Shot
• Kidnapped
• Crashed an airplane
• Rolled a car
• Ran a motorcycle right into the back of a parked truck
• So broke that I lived in my car and . . .
• Divorced

So much for last Monday!

Actually all of these things happened over the years and I was sober during each event. So, there goes that excuse.

I was not seriously injured in any of these events. No broken bones even! The mental toll was tough for some of these. The bruises were much tougher mentally than physically.

I used to joke that at 21 I was so broke I had to sleep in the back seat of the car . . . and I didn't own one!

Well the first part is true, I did sleep in the back of my old beat up Pontiac for about a week.

I was at the end of my rope. How could I possibly continue? I thought.

Within a month I'd found new partners and had an office in their ocean-view penthouse. I was dining at fine restaurants and was being paid enough to cover my overhead while working on my dream project that I'd almost given up on.

We all have survival stories that we can sit back today and marvel at the fact that we did survive.

Each survival is a reminder that we did it once, we can do it again.

It may be hard to think of thriving when you're trying to survive, thrive is why we're here, right?

Thrive is why you read this.

Thrive is why I write this!

Become your own inspiration. You may have lots of money but a miserable relationship.

Fine, survive, then thrive.

The "penthouses" of our lives are always possible.

When? It doesn't matter until we have a thrive attitude.

Come thrive with me!

MTC (More To Come) In every way!

Are you problem conscious or solution conscious?

Why do some people seem to whip around and out of problems like a Porsche on high speed obstacle course?

They are solution conscious.

What's the difference?

The problem conscious person focuses on the problem long after it's presented itself.

The solution conscious person sees the problem, examines it quickly, then begins to focus on solutions.

Creative problem solving and becoming a "finder" is what this is all about.

Unstuck is the result. Positive forward motion is the action. Less stress is the benefit. Desired accomplishment is the result Greater power and influence is the realization.

How To Consider Amazing Possibilities

You may have seen my previous posts regarding The Great Depression. More millionaires were created during those harshest times in modern history than at any other time!

Why? How? 

I recently wrote on my Twitter account, ( www.Twitter.com/TomJustin ) imagine what they could have done in the Great Depression if they’d had today’s technology.  Seriously, just imagine it! 

Is this a tough economy? For the true believers, yes. 

Those who believe that what is true for the masses must also be true for them. They are the 95 percenters who strive for average. Nothing wrong with them, they are the backbone of the world. 

It’s the 5 percenters who create jobs, money, opportunities, share their knowledge and help advance others. You are either in this group or ready to step into it right now.

What previously “comfortable” people discover is that they must now innovate by necessity. Some minds are dulled when they have just enough. But when challenges emerge, some begin finding new ways to either maintain their status quo or even to thrive.

Forbes Magazine recently projected that 79 million people will be starting their own home businesses in the next couple of years. This should have great meaning for all of us. 

It’s a growing market to pay attention to. Whether you are starting your own, building it bigger (or wanting to) or supplying expertise to other entrepreneurs.

In the ‘30s, those with few resources had to either scratch out a living, stand in soup lines or both. Or, they began solving their most pressing problem; how to survive. Some, because of having to think differently surprised even themselves by actually thriving in a negative economy.

This is true today. It is happening right now. You, by virtue of reading this far, being on this list, thinking about improvement, or taking forward action, are in the potential-to-thrive category.

I heard a quote the other day, “First do what is necessary, then what is possible, from there you can create miracles.” 

Wow! Look at that sequence. In other words, survive first. But the biggie is “what is possible.” What is possible? 

You’ve probably heard it all, positive thinking, “The Secret,” “Think And Grow Rich,” “The Attractor Factor,” manifestation techniques, etc. 

All of these are great. But still, most people find it difficult to believe what is possible for them. It’s so broad. So many choices, methods, techniques, books, videos . . . ahhhhhhhhhhh!

To thrive for some people would seem miraculous. I encourage those people to erase that mindset or at least, and this costs nothing, imagine the feeling of absolute success, whatever that means to you. What would that feel like?

Unlike 1929, most of us are on overwhelm with literally too much to choose from. The key is to isolate an interest and follow through. 

I’ll be talking more about the opportunities in these down times later. You do have choices. Massive choices. But it’s hard to see through the horrendous smoke that the media and government keeps throwing at us that obscures the possibilities. 

Write this note to yourself and keep it where you can see it daily.

What is possible?

Look at all the losers in the world who later became rich, famous, adored, major contributors to our well-being, or are known simply because they overcame tremendous obstacles.

Consider the possibilities. Why not you? Write out the answer to that question but don’t edit yourself. 

Your Inner Wizard knows.

We’ll keep on this topic and be exploring the possibilities. 

My Letter To Santa & Your Gift

Dear Santa,

I only want one little thing for Christmas. So, in the spirit of giving and receiving, I'm going to continue to give my book, "How To Take No For An Answer And Still Succeed" to people all over the world Until Dec. 31st.

It's about how to profit from rejection, failure, and disappointment. Since it's now also in a digital version my friends can just register (so they get the current and future bonuses) and the link will appear and they can download it immediately.

So, Santa, here's my one little thing. I just want an Apple MacBook Pro 15" laptop computer with the 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

I know you know this already, but the Apple people already made a bunch of these, so your elves won't have to get all confused with new tech stuff. Besides, you may recall that Steve Jobs' lawyers sent you that little note about my iPod a few years ago. . . but thanks again for that!

In fact, if you want to save energy on the reindeer, just go ahead and mail my new MacBook Pro to the address below. But should you come to the house, don't worry, the dogs will be given sedatives just before bedtime, just like last year. Not as much, though. They were loaded for days.

Oh, and I'll leave cookies again too. Sorry about last year, it was late and I ate all but that half that I left you with the milk in a champagne bucket. More cookies this year, I promise. I mean, for you, not me.

So, Santa, thank you in advance for my beautiful new laptop. It will surely help me and all my members in the coming years.

Merry Christmas,

Tommy

P.S. Here's the link to my book on overcoming rejection and disappointment. I sure hope I don't have to read it again on the 26th. You know, like I did last year! F-R-E-E BOOK and bonuses: http://budurl.com/rbqf

P.P.S. Feel free to give the link out to those who could use a good pick me up. Just look what Larry King, Jack Canfield and a bunch of other readers had to say about the book too. FREE BOOK and bonuses: http://budurl.com/rbqf

P.P.P.S OK, Santa, you can also give out my endless coupon link to only the best little boys and girls . . . well 16 and over anyhow: http://budurl.com/tn8a

Free Fun For Everyone

A few years ago I found a free way to have fun during the holidays. Now I’ve discovered that it works year round!

If it’s not fun, it can sure feel good. Judge for yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING:  Cynics turn back now before it’s too late.
This feels way too good and may neutralize your negativity. You’ve been warned!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several years ago I was driving in heavy traffic on a jammed  L.A. street. The December Holiday rush was on and  competition for L.A. driving space was worse than usual–and nobody was looking very jolly, me included.

I was crawling along in the right lane, late for an   appointment. I was trying to make it to the next street  where a right turn would place me only  a few blocks from  my client's office.

I could feel myself clenching, like I was trying to will the  cars ahead of me to move faster or maybe even disappear!  No wonder I had a backache.

If you’d told me at that moment what I was about to do, I wouldn’t have believed you. Even now, years later, it’s still a vivid memory.

The car ahead of me approached a strip mall's  driveway where a couple of cars had been waiting  to exit onto the busy street. The already slow moving traffic was almost bumper to bumper.

I barely noticed that the car in front of me had sped up to close the gap,  leaving no room to allow the hapless driver to escape her mall confinement.

By the time the line started to move, my impatience  was getting higher. How much later would I be? The traffic signal a half block away began to look like a palm tree in an oasis. Almost there, I thought. “C’mon, move!” I said out loud to the cars ahead.

Always Believe In Miracles by Susan Leonard

Three years ago, a little boy and his grandmother came to see Santa at Mayfair Mall in Wisconsin. The child climbed up on his lap, holding a picture of a little girl.

"Who is this?" asked Santa, smiling. "Your friend? Your sister?"

"Yes, Santa," he replied. "My sister, Sarah, who is very sick," he said sadly.

Santa glanced over at the grandmother who was waiting nearby, and saw her dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

"She wanted to come with me to see you, oh, so very much, Santa!" the child exclaimed. "She misses you," he added softly.

Santa tried to be cheerful and encouraged a smile to the boy's face, asking him what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas.

When they finished their visit, the Grandmother came over to help the child off his lap, and started to say something to Santa, but halted.

"What is it?" Santa asked warmly.

"Well, I know it's really too much to ask you, Santa, but ..." the old woman began, shooing her grandson over to one of Santa's elves to collect the little gift which Santa gave all his young visitors. "The girl in the photograph ... my granddaughter well, you see ... she has leukemia and isn't expected to make it even through the holidays," she said through tear-filled eyes. "Is there any way, Santa, any possible way that you could come see Sarah? That's all she's asked for, for Christmas, is to see Santa."

LOL @ The Holiday Blues

You might feel rejected if. . .I hope you will get at least a smile from the first part of this. After that are some practical reminders for getting “unblued” during the season.

Even if the "Holiday Blues" don’t apply to you, you can pass them on to others, this newsletter, not the blues. Let's just have some fun along the way.

Below is an updated media release we sent out last year. It was so popular I've been asked to update it and include it again this year.

There is also a special note for you at the bottom too!

But for now, just enjoy.

Holiday Blues? Feeling Rejected?
Here’s How To Deal With The Down Days

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAS VEGAS December 8, 2008

Holiday Blues?

Tom Justin, author of "How To Take No For An Answer And  Still Succeed," (How to Turn Everyday Rejections Into Profit  And Abundance) offers these humorous Holiday tips. Then on  a more serious note, he presents, “Six Guaranteed Ways To  Really Enjoy The Holidays and Beat The Blues!”

There are very good reasons for many to feel rejected,  disappointed and just plain blue on a holiday when everyone  else seems to be in high spirits.

9 Ways You Might Feel Rejected During The Holidays:

• If Santa Claus ate all your cookies but didn't leave a present,  you might feel rejected.

• If, at a party, more than one person asks if you've been taking  your medication and they've never met you before, you might  feel rejected.

• If you're not invited to the office Christmas party – and you’re  the boss, you might feel rejected.

• Your best friend told you to cheer up, things could be worse.  So you cheered up and sure enough, things got worse.

• If you were expecting an engagement ring at Christmas, but  instead, your boyfriend gives you a microwave oven, you might  feel rejected.

• If you ask your wife to go to the neighbor's New Years Eve  party but she already has a date, you might feel rejected.

• If all your gifts you receive this year are the exact same gifts  you gave last year, with the same wrappings, you might feel  rejected.

• Instead of having a star named after you for your Christmas  present, you got a membership in Procrastinators Anonymous,  you might feel rejected.

• If you receive an anonymous application for Extreme  Makeover– more than once, you might feel rejected.

And Now. . .

6 Guaranteed Ways To Really Enjoy The Holidays Right Through 2009

1. Search daily for reasons to be grateful. Concentrate on what  you have, not what you lack.

2. Be forgiving. Forgive others, especially if you're going to be  seeing them, even your in-laws. Forgive yourself for your  errors and any other transgressions you've made throughout  the year.
3. Find new and unique ways to express your appreciation and  love for friends and relatives.
4. Don't try to treat the "holiday blues" with holiday booze; it  will just cause deeper shades of blue.
5. If you're happy be sure to tell your face. If you're not, tell  your face to fake it.
6. Don't compare your gifts or station in life to others,  especially your friends and family. Your loved ones know  you're doing the best you can. You can resolve to do better.  Let it be   a motivation, not a holiday "blue note."

Remember, if you haven't been rejected, disappointed or  failed recently, you aren't living close enough to your  potential.

Do You Have The Courage To Activate?

Do you dare to activate?

Dreams are just dreams until action is taken.

Action creates results.

Unfortunately, most people know those results as failures.

Yes, it's true, there are far more failures than successes in life.

Almost all great inventions, except those discovered by "mistake" took failure, (AKA trial and error) after failure, after failure, before succeeding.

Oh, but there are many more great success stories and new wealth that were created by a decision to activate. Sometimes without failing at all!

But how many potentially great ideas have been lost or abandoned by a single failure? A silent quitting.

Great wealth, inventions, books, aids to humanity or just the small comfort of more success for one person, all abandoned in the face of fear or a single failure or even fear of failure.

But wait! There are also many great success stories of people who'd had enough. Determined to do it right, they activated a dream or idea into a plan and accomplished great material, physical, or emotional success.

Activation is cheap. Failure is is expensive but always temporary if more activation follows.

Apathy and fear are the bars and locks  of the lowly "what-might-have-beens."

A great idea on a long walk, once written or thought about is often clouded with the memory of past failures. Hence, no activation.

Even in my corporate consulting I've found CEO's holding on to potentially great ideas without activating them or even discussing them with their vice presidents. What if they failed big time? Everyone would see.

Companies led by such timid souls were often mediocre, compared with what they could have been. Companies don’t fail or succeed, people do.

All success is the result of courage. The courage to act with the potential to fail. But what about the potential to succeed?

So, I offer a very special activation holiday special.

You and I will spend an hour together. Whatever that part of your life that you want or need to activate will be explored and the methods and ideas will be discussed.

Activate Here

Success and accomplishment along with happiness and less stress come from intelligent and sometimes guided activation of our dreams and desires.

This is truly a gift that you can give to yourself and your family.

You needn't be alone on this. Your session will be a powerful and positive step in your personal activation beyond any single idea you may have now.

More power to you,

Tom

P.S. We will set your activation session soon or even early next year if you like. But there are limited slots available at this price. Either way, this special opportunity for you will end on Sunday at midnight!

"I Love You?"

Earlier today I received an email and the sender said, “I love you.”

Now, who doesn’t like that? More on that in a moment.

For those of us in the USA it’s Thanksgiving, a day of gratitude. For others, I hope it’s also a day of gratitude for you.

At some time, either long ago or recently, you registered to be on my list. For that I am very grateful to you for doing so, and I thank you again for your interest and your trust and staying with me.

If you’ve been with me for awhile you know that my punctuation often suffers, but my goals are clear.

I will provide you with a combination of self-help, personal empowerment tools, business possibilities and information to assist you to lead more fulfilling lives, even if in some very small way.

Some things I send may have no immediate interest to you, but as one reader said, “the next thing could be a knock out.”

I believe that all people are living in one of three levels in life. Anyone can regress or advance at any time. My goal is to assist us all towards number 3 and to stay there!

1. Existence
2. Survival
3. Thriving

Please Activate Now

Activation is the key factor to all of your past and future successes.

Every time you’ve accomplished anything of a positive nature you had to activate, first from within beginning with your desire and intention, then your creative approach toward accomplishment, then the manifesting action to the result.

Sometimes it’s trial and error. When you learned to ride a bike you likely did not get on the first time and just ride off. If you’re like I was, scraped knees, torn pants, and learning new words that mom and dad would punish you for were all part of the process.

Right now there is an activation inside of you that you’ve already considered. It’s an activation that could bring you a better life, more money, powerful relationships, and a myriad of potential accomplishments.

Can you feel it, pulsating, ready to activate when you command.

First, if you aren’t sure what this is, and I promise you, it’s there, ask yourself a few clarifying questions. What is it you desire and don’t have? What goals do you have that you haven’t activated the process toward achieving yet? What are you delaying and why?

In a negative economy many people regress into a reactive state. They react with fear, or worse, paralysis. They react to the negative news and believe that everyone is in trouble.

An old friend of mine had a very successful mortgage business for the past 5 years. He did extremely well. That business dwindled to nothing.

As the economy was slipping deeper and deeper, he began to look for new opportunities. He found one in the wireless phone business. He’d never been in that business before. Four months later he’s earning at least $25,000 a month!

He has close friends in the mortgage business who are still crying the blues, even though he’s offered them the opportunity to join him.

He activated! He’s activating others too. Some won’t listen or believe. What’s a mortgage guy know about telecom?

What do you know about your dreams? Why haven’t you activated for those?

Do you need help? Most of us do at one time or another.

Gratitude week. Register for an Activation Hour with Tom Justin.
SAVE over $125. But you must register by Monday at midnight.

How To Avoid Becoming A Victim Of Opportunity

America and other democratic countries are run by the energy of entrepreneurs. While our attention is the major employers, especially in an economic crisis, it belies the power of the independent businessperson.

A negative economy drives formerly satisfied employees to seek part time income or second jobs. The lure of the independent business opportunities becomes more attractive. Couch potatoes become mouse potatoes as they seek new financial opportunities online.

To become a victim of opportunity one must make decisions on hope and not knowledge. Hype and not focused questions. Fear and not a positive and thoughtful approach for long term success instead of short term hopeful fixes.

The following entrepreneur opportunities are the most prevalent opportunities being presented today:

• Franchising
• Sole proprietorship businesses
• The Internet
• MLM

 Here's a capsized version of each one. I’ve made significant to  large sums of money in each except franchising. But my experience there is as a researcher when I was consulting to Entrepreneur magazine and rewriting and editing their “Entrepreneur’s Encyclopedia.”

What's The "Blackberry Economy?"

Did you have a reality check and it bounced?

Okay, the stock market is dropping like a Las Vegas drunk on New Years Eve. Layoffs abound. The US government is nationalizing the banking system with tens of billions of dollars, the top 3 automakers in the US are begging for bailout money . . .

Need I say more? It’s that time. It’s that tough time. All people have it at one or more times in their lives and so do economies.

Believing makes it so. For those who’ve been laid off or who are witnessing their 401 K’s tanking, their stocks dragging knuckles like a caveman or just plain fear is welling up in anticipation of the media fear circus, there is GOOD NEWS.

The truth is a lie. Oh, it’s the truth as far as the economy, layoffs, etc., go, but it’s a lie if you say it is.

Huh?

First, positive thinking, wishful dreams and hoped for outcomes are, by themselves, useless. Yes, good attitudes are required, but action will be required.

Let’s look at reality check number 1. Everyone is suffering terribly.

Okay, if that’s so, then how is it that on November 21st, the day following a horrific week of stock market downturns, did this happen?

11 Life Changing Words

Only a few months earlier I had an office at Universal Studios, a pending TV production deal, an acting star partner and a rosy future.

This night found me in a  Bakersfield, California Howard Johnson’s Motel coffee shop sitting across from a self-described uneducated, ignorant “Okie.”

How Did I Get To This Place?

After the cancellation of our production deal, Universal wanted their office space. My partner was busy with his acting career and I was out with little money left to do much of anything.

Through a series of events too long to explain, I ended up back in sales, which I’d done on and off from the time I was a teenager.

The company I’d joined was fairly new but growing. I was an independent rep and solely responsible for my own everything, all expenses with not even a commission draw. But I loved their product and knew it could succeed. But could I?

Being “in sales,” in my mind was a real step down from the glamor of show biz, though I hadn’t been making much money, even with the studio office and Cadillac . I was depressed and stuck.

Their national sales manager, Kurt, was an affable, tall good looking guy who could charm the most cynical, including me.

I really didn’t know what to do next. I had lots of options, but the money wasn’t coming fast enough. The promise of fast growth seemed to be happening to others in the company but not to me.

The Rich (and others) Get Richer?

The Rich Get Richer

Is that true? It seems that way.

It’s often said in a way that makes it seem unfair to everyone else.

Is it unfair?

How does this apply to the average income earner?

Can the poor get average, then rich, and then richer?

If they understand one simple principle over all others, absolutely!

This is powerful stuff and I’m glad I found it. You will be too.

Let’s say a husband and wife start a small business. It flourishes. They carefully build a customer base that becomes a loyal customer list. Buyers buy, satisfied customers buy and return or come back when called.

So, more and more money pours into their little business. They have to hire some more people, get more equipment, balance the expense of growth with net income, all considerations to continual growth and profitability.

So, are they getting richer? Maybe and maybe not.

Expansion often reduces net income. It takes awhile to catch up. Some don’t get rcher because they forget or neglect what got them there.

Why? Here’s where the smart rich get richer.

They repeat what worked, then repeat it again. That’s not all. . .

They make continual improvements. They try something new, balancing the risk/reward ratio each time. Maybe invest in new information or technology.

Some things work, some don’t. They lean how to balance their risk.

But then they keep going back to what got them there, what worked and make a continual improvement, sometimes small tweaks.

As they gain more income, they are getting “richer,” they gain more responsibility and cost and taxes. They are now third party income creators for every new hire they make. More people are making money because they are getting richer.

The rich get richer because of their awareness of continual improvement or the Japanese word, Kaizen. Of course compound interest helps too.

Mark Joyner, as you may have seen in my previous post, http://budurl.com/8tw3 is capable of showing others how he’s used systems, techniques and tactics to create tens of millions of dollars in sales for his company.

His marketing plan, marketing strategies, how he markets online and other powerful information are always included in his tutorials.

But, what’s not been obvious to the casual user, is kaizen!

Understanding and applying this concept may seem easy. If you are marketing online, working from home, for instance, you might apply a Kaizen approach by adding a new product sooner than before and letting your customer base know.

You could take a course to learn how to create your own digital products and suddenly realize a much higher profit per sale. Continual improvement! Kaizen.

The question is, how to do this consistently and how to balance the responsibilities of running your business effectively by making these incremental changes?

You create a regular kaizen event! How? What are the techniques to doing this?

In a few hours, Mark opens his new membership The Kaizen Club, which if you are seeking to improve yourself or your business, you will not miss.

If you missed my previous post about Mark or don’t know him yet, take a look at it.
http://budurl.com/8tw3

You can also take a look at his blog now:
http://budurl.com/mb8r

There’s some great info in preparation for what he’s about to release.

I’ll be sending you more information later today before he opens his site at 8:00 PM Eastern. Just in case you miss it, right at 8 PM Eastern, you can go here:
http://budurl.com/kaizen

More power to you,

Tom

P.S. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur to use Kaizen. It’s for all personal improvement. Employee, father, mother, wife, husband, life. It is so powerful, don’t allow the simplicity to color the true power of what you’re about to see! http://budurl.com/kaizen

A Powerful Life Changing Word

When the problem is that there is not enough; not enough money, time, knowledge, relationships or even self-confidence, there is an amazing solution available to you.

When your goal is to create long term not singular success, a different kind of consciousness has to be applied.

There are many complicated methods, techniques and applications for this accomplishment, some worthy of post graduate degree knowledge.

But what if the understanding a single word and using its concept could make all the difference in your long term and even short term outcome?

It’s amazing, but this seemingly simple concept may be responsible for more success stories than almost any other single technique known to mankind, even for those who never heard of this word before.

No, this isn’t hype, in fact, it will be clear to you how simple this is, yet how profound it is too. And it's absolutely provable!

The word is kaizen. Japanese for “continual improvement.”

Well, you might think, that’s obvious. Continual improvement is the ideal for any business.

But, as with any “simple” concept, the reality of application can be be easily lost, especially among the desperate who seek a sudden and dramatic positive, maybe even miraculous shifts.

Applying some of the techniques learned by the masters of kaizen may create these shifts, but regardless of your needs, understanding kaizen and applying it with masterful assistance may be life enhancing for you for years to come.

Mark Joyner is a masterful practitioner of this art. Though he’s never spelled it out like he’s about to do. His success is 3-D in almost every visible arena he’s entered.

As a former Army Intelligence officer with the highest possible security clearance, he moved into the early world of online marketing as a true pioneer.

Before the technology was friendly, he created paradigm shifts. He simplified the complex and helped create a multi-billion dollar businesses that reverberate to this day.

He is the creator of Simpleology, the masterful system of success that tens of thousands of people are using around the world.

There are 20 something millionaires who owe their successes directly to the marketing strategies that Mark Joyner created. But how?

Entrepreneurs hope for marketing ideas to save the day, and some will. The challenge is, in part, due to the way any marketing plan is created then implemented.

Mark Joyner’s techniques have been to create, act, succeed, succeed some more, simplify the process, then share it with others. When he profits, so do others, repeatedly!

Yet successful events do not mean long term successes. Or as the saying goes; “Win the battle, lose the war.” Long term success is the ultimate challenge for anyone seeking to be above average in income and life.

Every long term successful person or company may show a series of events that contributed to their success. But “under the hood” is the quiet but powerful hum of kaizen.

Mark is now about to share his highest level of successful methods with a worldwide audience.

Whether you are marketing online with your business, a corporate manager or a current or future entrepreneur, you will miss a magnificent opportunity if you fail to see the marketing strategies that are possible with kaizen as explained by Mark Joyner.

Whether the story about one man who lost 35 pounds with one simple  change that caused continuous improvement or of rags to riches, long term success examples, Mark’s research and application of Kaizen will show you the way.

His site isn’t available until November 6, but you can view his blog and get some ideas and even win a full year of membership in his organization.

The question you have to ask is, is your marketing strategy enough? What don’t you know? Could you create a kaizen event that would create a real difference?

So, be sure to visit his blog at; http://budurl.com/mb8r or on November 6, at 8 PM Eastern go to his site; http://budurl.com/kaizen  and see for yourself.

Watch for his kaizen event coming on Thursday and it will be available  after that.

The Barefoot Competitor?

It's great fun to be surprised. To find unexpected inspiration and at the same time learn new things.

I love it. Here's what happened a couple of days ago.

I was at a seminar this weekend, (Ken McArthur’s JV Alert) primarily for a couple of meetings on Friday.

Ken graciously  invited me to stay through the weekend. I didn’t have the time, so of course, I accepted.

I did not plan to arrive Saturday at 8 a.m. for his first speaker of the day, A woman I hadn’t heard of before. Especially a trek that early to the opposite side of the city.

Friday evening I was going through the lineup for the rest of the weekend. All I saw was her name and I got a strong “click” to go. Am I glad that I did!

On top of being a terrific speaker, she has a very clever 3 minute movie I think you’ll enjoy.

Carrie Wilkerson, cleverly branded as The Barefoot Executive. She was inspiring with a great story that simultaneously entertained and educated. A highly unique structure and ability.

I told her that I thought she was one of the best speakers I’ve seen in many years. She asked if I would do a video testimonial, which I happily agreed to do.

Carrie is a natural promoter, in the best sense of the word.

I said that I thought she was a professional killer. Her story is so powerful that with what she’s accomplished in a short period of time with all the challenges that she was surrounded with, she will kill anyone's excuses for not being where they want to be.

I told a friend of mine that I was going to do a blog post about her. He said she is actually, in some areas, one of my competitors.

If you read my post last month about Bernie’s Coffee Shop, that extraordinary young woman, when  asked about a neighboring competitor, her response was; “She’s not a competitor, she’s an inspiration.”

So too is Carrie Wilkerson.

Among other things, Carrie is a master at working from home. How she began not one, but four home based businesses and turned each into a success story is an education unto itself.

Below is her short 3 minute film, "The Boss Movie,"  that’s played around the world. You’ll see why it’s so popular. 

Pop over to her site, The Barefoot Executive and see for yourself.

It must be my fault that I'd never heard of her before. But she's a future super star, so that won't be a problem for very long.

If you like this and other posts, tell your friends. All they have to do is go to www.TomJustinsBlog.com .

Crashing To Survival

An old friend and I were reminiscing the other night. We were talking about survival and thriving, giving up (almost) and getting up (sometimes slowly).

She reminded me of some things that I'd survived in my life that I don't think much about. I've been:

• Shot
• Kidnapped
• Crashed an airplane
• Rolled a car
• Ran a motorcycle right into the back of a parked truck
• So broke that I lived in my car and . . .
• Divorced

So much for last Monday!

Actually all of these things happened over the years and I was sober during each event. So, there goes that excuse.

I was not seriously injured in any of these events. No broken bones even! The mental toll was tough for some of these. The bruises were much tougher mentally than physically.

I used to joke that at 21 I was so broke I had to sleep in the back seat of the car . . . and I didn't own one!

Well the first part is true, I did sleep in the back of my old beat up Pontiac for about a week.

I was at the end of my rope. How could I possibly continue? I thought.

Within a month I'd found new partners and had an office in their ocean-view penthouse. I was dining at fine restaurants and was being paid enough to cover my overhead while working on my dream project that I'd almost given up on.

We all have survival stories that we can sit back today and marvel at the fact that we did survive.

Each survival is a reminder that we did it once, we can do it again.

It may be hard to think of thriving when you're trying to survive, thrive is why we're here, right?

Thrive is why you read this.

Thrive is why I write this!

Become your own inspiration. You may have lots of money but a miserable relationship.

Fine, survive, then thrive.

The "penthouses" of our lives are always possible.

When? It doesn't matter until we have a thrive attitude.

Come thrive with me!

MTC (More To Come) In every way!

Stuck Happens – Here's A Solution

Are you problem conscious or solution conscious?

Why do some people seem to whip around and out of problems like a Porsche on high speed obstacle course?

They are solution conscious.

What's the difference?

The problem conscious person focuses on the problem long after it's presented itself.

The solution conscious person sees the problem, examines it quickly, then begins to focus on solutions.

Creative problem solving and becoming a "finder" is what this is all about.

Unstuck is the result. Positive forward motion is the action. Less stress is the benefit. Desired accomplishment is the result Greater power and influence is the realization.

How's your power and influence?

What do you do about this?
