Here’s my Airport Video. Hope you like!

I asked people in a recent Facebook question: “What’s Important To You?”

Here’s a sample of some of the answers…

* My Vacations And Trips
* My Kiddo And Time With My Loved Ones
* God, My Wife, My Kids, Beer (in that order)
* My Health
* God, My Family, and Having Free Time To Enjoy Them
* Family, Friends, Fortitude
* My Health, My Family, My Friends, Other People, My Country, Democrats.

All good and valid things. I thought “Democrats” was kinda funny. And for that person, no doubt very true.

So my question…

Is what you do every day in line with what is important to you?

Are you giving your time, your energy, your money to it?

Maybe you are.

If you’re like most people you aren’t.

And you’re trying to convince yourself you are.

It’s your life. You can do what you want.

You’ll know if what you want and what you’re doing line up, when you’re life starts making turns for the uncomfortable.

Then you decide if it’s worth growing into.

Or if you want to stay stale and stuck.

Tag…you’re it!

There’s one social media mistake made by people who aren’t thinking like a marketer.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not looking to be “entertained” when I go to social media sites…
unless that’s the exact reason I start off with.

And my life is way too busy for that!

And there’s a good chance you’re the same way. Most people who read my notes are involved in the home business world in some way.

So here’s what I put on Facebook earlier today…

Don’t put up silly questions or requests that people usually see as an attempt to get engagement on your wall.

What you gain in “likes and comments” you lose in being seen as being hard up for the interaction without adding value.

You also distract people who are trying to keep their focus on more important stuff.

Sure, what other people do with their online time is not your responsibility. But you don’t want to be the cause of someone else’s distraction, do you?

Look, I take your effort seriously. I take your life seriously!

I value the trust people put in me, whether or not they buy something from me, get coaching from me, or join something I’m involved in.

So I’ll have fun with showing people my personal life. And I’ll have fun when people show me theirs.

But I won’t waste time with silly statuses or stories, just to boost my profile.

And if someone is doing that, it’s a sign they don’t understand the game, or don’t respect you – or themselves – enough to make their home business work.

Put up fun statuses and questions, by all means.

But don’t disrespect your friends and followers by asking them to participate in nonsense.

If you obey that simple rule – if you don’t make this social media mistake – you’ll be taken seriously.

And when it comes time to make an important choice in their business or their life, they’ll remember you as a serious person.

Not the person who asked what their favorite color is.

If you want home business success, don’t do this one thing.

The people who wind up reading this blog are those who are really interested in personal development.

And often people who are looking for a way to break through in their home business…or find a new one that works better than their old one.

The best ones go around and around trying to make sense out of all the failures.

Because let’s face it…

Most of the things people try in that space lead to disappointment.

So here’s what I don’t want you to do…

Pretend everything’s going great when it sucks.

Too much of that going on in the space.

And of course there’s a lot of people who cuss, yell, scream and leave after a really short time.

But they’re not here.

You are.

Too much “Happy, Clappy, We’re all OK, Just believe and everything will be fine bullsh-t”
in this space.

Yes, there’s a space for positive thinking.

But not based on a lie you tell yourself.

It’s gotta be based on truth.

The truth that you’ are smart, capable and resourceful…and unlimited.

And you’re frustrated because you haven’t figured out how to break through.

Pretending everything is OK when it isn’t will keep you trapped in failure.

Find the sweet spot of home business success.

Own your emotions.

Get clear that you really are bright, and beautiful and capable of anything.

Then notice the fact that you haven’t gotten there yet.

Appreciate the contrast.

Then dig in and do the work on yourself.

And get better at learning the techniques and methods of whatever your business is.

And accept that it comes in stages.

But realize that most people won’t do what you’re doing.

You’ll be a leader just because you dug in and did the deal.

The money will come.

And it’ll feel really good!

Still trying to figure out how to get stuff done after a long day?

One of the first places to start is dumping all the old stuff.

A lot of us work during the day – either outside the home or inside…managing the house, taking care of kids, even working our businesses from a spare bedroom or kitchen table.

We’ve accumulated a lot of mental and physical clutter over the course of the day.

And now it’s time to dump it and get on with the next part of the day.

The evening. The time when the rest of the world settles down with Netflix and an adult beverage.

You’re working hard at making a dream come true.

Let’s give you the best shot at bringing fresh energy to it.

I made this short video for all of us.

Maybe it’ll help you release the garbage in your head.

So you really can settle down and get stuff done.

The stuff that will let you achieve the goals you started out with.

Don’t over complicate things.

Let them happen.

Use this video to help you power down.

It can make a really big difference.

It does for me!

Bring your energy. Bring your desire.

Bring your sense of adventure.

And be ready to give your best to your dreams.

Welcome to my funny video for Release The Hounds.

If you and I have ever met in person, as in one on one, you have a sense of my personality. For the most part, I’m a pretty laid back kinda guy.

Sure, I can jump around a stage pretty good if I’m training or doing a juggling performance.

But my default position is to be “chill.”

That’s why the video I made introducing RELEASE THE HOUNDS is so funny.

Truth: I made two other versions of it. The first was kinda jumpy. I was trying too hard. So I deleted it.

The second was good. It gave strong reasons why someone should join the program.

But the energy wasn’t there.

And for real…I am very passionate about this program.

So I recorded one more…

And I nailed it.

It’s a funny video because it’s high energy…really high energy.

And like I said, if you know me well, you might think I’m “faking it.”

No. It’s just something I’m confident in and excited about.

And that’s what gets you everything you want.

BE it. Then you get to have it.
