Charge by Brendon Burchard
If you have not purchased #Charge By Brendon Burchard here is one reason you need to now! Because you feel caged, abused, victimized and held hostage by today’s economy. You know the frustration of showing up everyday and doing your part and feeling like it was in vain. You want to be free from the rut and you want your life to be yours.
This is tribute to a great man who left a great mark, Bill Hurlbut.
The sunset fading on the beach is a gorgeous sight. But the sunset of life fading away makes us ask some serious questions.
What mark did I leave behind for others?
Was I significant in the life of at least one someone?
Did I pass through this life as nothing more than a mere survivor?
In the fading days we will have only the chance to reflect and ponder the answer to these questions. In all truth we have no idea how many days we have, which will be our last or when it will be too late to change the answer.
We do know that we have right now. This moment is ours to do with as we see fit. We can choose to have an attitude of survival and focus only on our own needs, wants and desires, or we can choose to focus on the wants, needs and desires of those around us.
Take a moment now and choose. Who will you live for, yourself or others? Will you leave a positive mark on life, or just be buried deep and forgotten? What passions in your heart have you left hidden? What dreams were you born with that will be six feet under when you are? What hope of a better life have you gotten hold of and pushed through to the next generation?
If you have never pondered those questions, now is the best time you will ever have to do it.
Pursue your dreams. Live out your hopes with passion and you will be significant to someone!
Leave a comment and let me know the ways your dreams and passions are making a significant impact in someone’s life.
See you on the other side Bill!
Have a blessed day!

Get your name in my next book.
I would like your help. I am working on my third book right now to be completed by July. This book will be presented for the first time in public as I present a workshop at the Las Vegas DJ show in September 2012.
The book will be a “how to” centered around the idea, purpose and practical application of appreciation in all of our key relationships: family, colleagues, employee to employer and with our clients.
Below are some titles I am considering. Please share your thoughts, opinions and comments!
1. Unleashing the Power of PDA – Six Steps to Improve Your Public Displays of Appreciation
2. Awake to Appreciation: Realizing the relevance of appreciation in all your relationships.
3. Discover The Power of Appreciation: The How To Manual for Power-filled Appreciation
Please share your thoughts, opinions and comments on this blog or Facebook for all to see.
For the most engaging ideas, I will ask for further comment from those who would care to be quoted in the book.
DJs I hope to see you in Vegas!

Do you have a platform?
Do you have a message the world needs to hear? Do you have a product that is innovative and could reshape the face of the industry? Do you have an idea that needs to be considered by the masses?
It is imperative that anyone desiring to bring about real change, influence the masses or even guide a relationship in a new direction you must have the ability to reach, communicate with and connect with people who share your passions and understand your message. That group of people are called a tribe and when you have one, you have a platform: A place from which you can display your products, present your ideas and convey your message.
I have a long way to go to build a viable platform for Live A More Excellent Life. I am on the journey with you if you are building a platform. I have found a platform guru in Michael Hyatt and I believe his soon to be released book PLATFORM will be a foundation for many great things to come. I was just selected to be on @michaelhyatt’s #PlatformBook launch team! http://michaelhyatt.com/platform
I encourage you to join me in building a platform worth shouting from. Keep coming back here and I will share with you all that I learn along the way and help you to build your platform.
Have a great day,

Free or a gift?
“A friend in need is a friend indeed!” I think that means everyone in great need will be your bestest friend ever when they know you have something they need. But regardless the value of the item they expect to get it at no charge.
Perhaps you have a great widget at a garage sale. It was worth $20 when you bought it so you should be able to sell it for $10 but the best offer you got was $2 so you kept it. Now what is it really worth? Nothing? $20? $2?
If someone really needed it they would give an arm and a leg for it. If they really wanted it they would sell what they have to get it. But if they only kinda want it they will wait for you to set it out with the garbage and then just take it.
As public speakers, trainers, and entertainers we find a similar challenge. In January spring dates are plentiful and reasonably high priced because they are normally in high demand.
By March the dates get a bit cheaper as panic sets in that they will not get filled. Then by April you book anything that comes up and find some people want your best dates for nothing and others will pay anything because they are desperate. As June arrives you take a deep breath and realize you sold everything possible in May and made money and regret some of the dates you gave away.
So here is my question for you. What was the value of the service you offered? Was it the January price? The March price or the value averaged at the end of May when it was all said and done?
What about the events or services you got paid nothing for? Were they worth FREE or were they a gift of great value?
I would love to hear your opinion. If you comment, I will reply with what I think.




Poll question for you: Are you in a rut?
