Emotions are BIG! Do emotions affect our health? our immune system? How? Can those effects be changed? Why do emotions affect people differently? They sure play huge role in every single decition no matter how convinced people are that their decis…

It's also a true story. That makes it that much more meaningful and enjoyable. It's a great movie. Glad I saw it while it was still in theaters. If you haven't seen it yet, go while you still can.

Good post - always a good reminder when marketing, selling to, or interacting with current or prospective clients. I like how you made the application from entertainment to business. Also, the movie sounds like a good watch. Thank you!

The motivation behind our emotion is one that continues to intrigue me. All my years researching cognition never quenched my curiosity to delve ever deeper into the "whys" of emotion. It peppers so many of our human reactions. Thanks for the movie r…

Consistency

As 2009 winds down, I look back on the previous 12 months and ask myself the same question I do every year – “What are the most important lessons from 2009?”

This year I had many.

However, what I found most interesting is that I relearned one lesson for the 6th year in a row.

My success has very little to do with any new technology, new idea or groundbreaking book that I have completed.

More often than not, my success is a direct result of my ability to execute a handful of basics (blocking… Continue

Emotion

Over the holiday, I went and saw a movie with my wife called “The Blind Side”.

You’ve seen the trailers. It has Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and a gigantic African American high school student from the wrong side of town.

I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie at all. The reason was that I already knew exactly what was going to happen. So did you.

Here’s what I thought the storyline would be – We are introduced to a disadvantaged poor kid from a bad part of town. The odds are stacked against… Continue

Interest vs. Commitment

Take out a piece of paper and write down a list of everything that interests you. For most that will include exercise, church, family, work, travel, friends, Facebook, TV, radio, video games, neighbors, etc. Put everything on this list that occupies your time throughout a typical month.

Next, I want you to circle the 5 things that are most important to you. These are your commitments.

Finally, I want you to look at your calendar during the past month and see where you spent your time. Was it s… Continue

Anticipate the ‘Next Needs’ of the Market

Mike Mountford, CEO of the $30 million company AllAmericanDirect.com, started a multi-million dollar high-margin division of his business, by anticipating the ‘next needs’ of the market.

Here’s how he did it: Mike has owned a company in the satellite TV industry for over 25 years. Three years ago, a major provider of satellite TV was about to lose their ability to broadcast a certain group of television stations signals. Mike heard this news and actively thought about what he could do to solve… Continue

Actions Speak Louder than Words

We are all heavily swayed by words. They influence what shows we watch, the foods we buy and the decisions we make at the ballot box.

As a conservative, the most frustrating thing about the election of Barack Obama was not that this nation chose a liberal politician who fundamentally believes that a larger government is the key to our challenges. What drove (and continues to drive) me nuts is that people voted for and support President Obama because of what he says, not what he does.

Political… Continue

Great Show Today!

It was good for people like me who are just wingin' it! I know what I want to accomplish. And I know I have all of this to accomplish on a -0- budget, limited resources and limited education in all the areas I need to elevate me. So, I get bits and pieces from every resource that I know of to help me move forward. That does not always mean that I get the right advice or, as a novice, that I use it correctly. So far I have been blessed.

PJ was a dream come true! I never had a clue what Web 2.0 was. Again, I was just wingin' it. He helped a neophyte like me to understand some of the things I am doing and a lot of the things that my many brothers and sisters on SI have told me to do. He also help me to understand, most importantly, what I have to do.

Chris Spangle tried to get you and I together when he was still at the radio station. He had a great concept that he wanted to approach you about for a show between you and that could have been a learning experience for listeners.. Then he LEFT me!!!! I love Chris.

It is a chore building a business and community outreach program, especially when you re-enter the business world later in life and need to be re-educated. Smaller Indiana has been so instrumental in helping me understand the business aspect of what it is I wish to accomplish, and I have made some lasting friends along the way. The day Ben McCann gave me an impromptu telephone workshop, then helped to rebuilt my website on my ning, I cried! You just don't find people like that everywhere. I have Lou Begnel to thank for that union.

And, when you joined SI, I thought, "At least I know where to find him when I need him even if Chris never got us together!" You would think I know you personally already!!.

For all of this, I am blessed!

I think I walked past you at the Chocolate Blues Festival! I only have your SI picture to go by. All I know is that if I did, I had a brush with greatness!!!!
Basically, I have been using your show as a weekly workshop. the information that I have gotten from your show for free is equivalent to a college education. Using that analogy, some of your guest elevate me into studying for my Masters Degree. There was one occasion when you had Hazel Walker on and I took notes from start to finish, just as I did today.

I thank you for all your help. And, I thank all of the friends that I have made on Smaller Indiana. (so far!!!!)

Though Chris was never able to get us together in person, I thank you for being there for me anyway. ...and you didn't even know

Great talk last night at Rainmakers Main Event. I've actually echoed some of those same sentiments on my own blog, and have cross-posted them here on Smaller Indiana and LetsMakeItRain.com.

I don't remember you. Do you remember me?
