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.

America's Got Talent And So Do You

Do you want to see passion, talent, the power of focus, and even some enlightenment? Watch a talent contest.

Lots of untalented people enter talent contests. We see that in the early stages of “American Idol.” In fact, it’s a major component of their show, as it is with  “America’s Got Talent.”

I especially enjoy  “America’s Got Talent.”  There is a greater variety of talent and from all ages too.

These shows are lessons in passion, perseverance, and the payoff of persistence.

Many of the artists have worked and trained long and hard to get there. Some are low paid entertainment veterans, who despite terrific talent, couldn’t break through the show biz iron ceiling.

How does this apply to you?

Success in show business, or any  business, is less about talent than perseverance. If you happen to have both, voila! You should have a future. But without the latter, poof, a flash in the pan or maybe a grease spot.

“America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol,”  are lessons on how to handle rejection. I’d be interested in a reality show that showed what happens the top four eliminated contestants and how they handle “rejection.”

Imagine the competition to that point and where they came from! Hundreds of thousands auditioning, then dozens, or is it hundreds? On stage in front of judges. Then the top 10 getting millions of viewer votes to get to the top 5.

Less Stress, Greater Energy, Better Sleep, Better Concentration–Is It Hype, Science Or Magic?

It’s been on the cover of Rolling Stone, Time, Men’s Health Magazine, Alternative Medicine, GQ, Golf and dozens of other publications worldwide.

Anthony Robbins uses it and talks about it.

Over 300 professional golfers use it, including major tournament winners. Dozens have given unsolicited testimonials about it’s power and effectiveness.

When athletes, physicists, celebrities, major news media, and science all compliment a single product, how come everybody doesn’t know about this?

For some, within moments, it’s been proven to measurably reduce stress while increasing energy. Yet it also enhances a deeper sleep for some.

It’s science backed. The evidence is quite clear and convincing.

People who use this report higher energy, less stress, greater focus/concentration, more restorative sleep, enhanced stamina and a welcomed competitive edge they actively appreciate 24/7.  Yet perhaps most profound to it's hundreds of thousands of wearer's world-wide is a newfound feeling of well-being, vitality and quality of life that is indescribable - the rich sense of re-connection with their most fundamental energetic roots.
