Glad to be Sad?
Written on - Published to Self-Help Personal Growth
No one likes to be sad. But being sad like many perceived negative thoughts and emotions can be beneficial in many ways! From Metro It turns out that glum people such as Jack Dee actually hold the key to success in life, because scientists say that bad moods improve memory, make you less gullible and improve your judgment. Think that news is too good to be true? Well, lighten up and pay attention to psychology professor Joseph Forgas from the University of New South Wales. He found in a stud... Read Full Story

Fallback Friday – Stephen Colbert’s Fallback Position – Tennis
Written on - Published to The Colbert Report
Normally, I tell everyone a fallback position is a good thing to have while you’re shooting for a difficult goal. But in this case, try not having a fallback position that is more difficult than your main objective. If you’re going to be disappointed, it doesn’t help to be left with a situation even more disappointing!   Posted in fallback position, motivation, motivational, negative, negative thinking, negative thoughts, negativity, Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report ...

Media Monday (Delayed): CNN loves goats!
Written on - Published to The Daily Show
Since yesterday was a holiday, I missed out on a media monday post. Thankfully, the Daily Show more than makes up for it. Jon Stewart rightfully questions CNN’s inability to ask the probing questions and wonders why a 24-hour news channel never seems to have enough time. more about “Media Monday (Delayed): CNN loves goats!“, posted with vodpod   Posted in accountability, answers, CNN, criticism, ethics, humor, Humorist, idiots, inabilities, inability, interviews, Jon Stewa...

REPOST: Columbus Day
Written on - Published to This Day in History
Originally posted October 8th, 2007. This post should have been Friday’s. But with my schedule, I usually have no idea what holiday it is until I find out something I need is closed. As far as Americans are concerned, let’s talk about the most important failure of all: Christopher Columbus! Today is a day to celebrate man’s refusal to ask for directions, a day to celebrate someone “discovering” a place with people already live, a place that was actually discovere... Read Full Story

Written on - Published to Self-Help Personal Growth
Wow. A full year since Price Points has been started. My first year “solo” and what a year it was. Thanks to everyone for their support, be it simply reading the blogs, going to strategy lunches (Thanks Shari), tolerating my newsletters, listening to my constant questions  or hiring me to “tear it up” at their event (their words not mine!). Next year looks even better with some exciting new things (book!) and more adventures. Be it my clients in the far reaches of the ... Read Full Story

Written on - Published to Self-Help Personal Growth

Sorry gang, the book in the title of this post is not mine. Negative thinking is everywhere. I try to show others how it can be used for positive results. Normally, other speakers I have met, especially ones who deal with trying to maintain a positive attitude, don’t like my topic at all. They won’t take the time to consider what I’m talking about has value because quite frankly it opposes they happy-happy joy-joy bullshistic (that’s my word = holisitic+bullsh*t) menta...

The Reality of “Keeping it Real”
Written on - Published to Self-Help Personal Growth
Seems there are a lot of people out there willing to talk without “the filter”. And by “the filter” I’m referring to that mechanism in our heads that stops us from saying whatever the hell we want (oops, my filter is a bit buggy too!). Let’s look at the past week, shall we? Loudmouth #1: Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) Infraction: Heckling the President during a joint session of congress 9/9/09 Residence: Charleston, South Carolina Born: July 31, 1947 (1...

Fantasy Football’s Dark Side
Written on - Published to Self-Help Personal Growth
While tonight’s game between the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers kicks off the football season, it also kicks off Fantasy football season too. My teams is ready, is yours? And if it is, will disaster strike your team like it did my friend Jason’s team last year (see #3 of the posting)? Apparently, Tom Brady’s knee screwed a lot of people last year. On one hand, he was out for the season. On the other, he got to spend more time with his sexy wife. The rest of us just... Read Full Story

Obama Uses Negative Thinking to Help Our Students
Written on - Published to Barack Obama
This is not a political post. I simply want to bring to light how President Obama used some negative thinking to talk to our children, well your children yesterday. He let them know that they’re not going to strike it rich without hard work. From CNN:  I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not...
