Time Is Your Friend, Not Your Enemy
“I have always thought that TIME was the biggest enemy to my business… how I was running out of time to accomplish my goals and truly enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Larry Hochman worked with me for 5 minutes and helped me reframe that negative into a positive.
Instead of seeing time as an enemy, I now see it as my biggest ALLY, because it’s this feeling that time is running out that will help me never to waste a moment of it.
If you don’t know Larry, you should… and check out his website, too — many cool things to be found there!”
Dr. Bob Clarke
Sometimes others say it better than you do…or I do!
Thanks, Bob!

Doesn’t matter who says it.
The most important thing is to approach your life with the joy of knowing you were given it as a gift…
and that you are a steward of that gift. Use it wisely, generously and courageously.
Much Love,
Larry
Dr. Bob and Dr. Rosemary have some great stuff going on. Nothing I like more than professionals who decide to take an unexpected turn in life. (Kinda like myself!) Check them out here.
Posture
Posture doesn’t come from tricks, techniques or the magic marketing words (though those certainly help you get attention).
Posture comes from the CONFIDENCE of knowing who you are.
And it comes from projecting your self-respect and POWER onto those who are looking for it.
Try improving your physical posture for a little while…at least two or three days.
Catch yourself when you slouch and commit to straightening up, like our friend in the illustration.
See if it challenges how you see yourself, and how the world sees you.
How To Never Make More Than Ten Dollars An Hour
A while back I saw a post in my Facebook newsfeed. It had something to do with the merits of a job as a babysitter.
Being a guy who used to use them for my kids, I appreciate the value of a good babysitter. Someone who kept our kids safe and entertained.
And that value? About four or five bucks an hour, at least back in the old days!
So I responded…that’s what the market will pay…eight dollars an hour, give or take. (I adjusted for inflation.)
Boy, was I corrected quickly! It’s all the way up to ten bucks an hour!
Here’s my take on it: it’s great money…if you’re a teenager, or someone who can take that ten dollars an hour and feel like the richest kid on the block.
For someone who wants to live life abundantly, with the liberty and choices that money brings…what’s the difference?
It never occurred to the people jumping up and down on me about the two dollar difference, that their MINDSET was off.
Well, it wasn’t “wrong.” But their thoughts and emotions about money and what they were worth were locking them into an income limit of ten dollars an hour.

Here’s my question to you…
What are your thoughts and feelings locking you into?
Where is your mental and emotional ceiling on…
* Money?
* Love?
* Security?
* Health?
You may not know the answer to that question, but I promise…you have one.
If you believe it’s possible to receive more than you have now…
If you believe you are worth more than you’re living now…
If you’re willing to start on something good, for a really small investment.
(Less than an evening’s worth of babysitting wages)
Pick up a copy of HOW TO RECEIVE.
If not, that’s fine. Everyone gets to live their life however they want, as long as they aren’t hurting
someone else.
But no belly aching about what you don’t have, at least not to me.
And no complaining about the economy or the job market.
Because believe it or not, when you learn HOW TO RECEIVE, you begin to create your own economy around you.
Tag….You’re It!
Your Pal,
Larry
Know why babysitters – even good ones – don’t get more than ten bucks an hour (usually)? Supply and demand. If your sitter leaves, there are usually plenty of others to replace her (or him).
You are paid based on your leverage and your value in the marketplace.
Mostly you are paid on what YOU believe your worth is.
Because you will make a thousand big small choices that will determine how others respond to you…
…and how much value you bring to them…
…and how much money (and other good stuff) you’ll receive.
Decide if you want to receive more, by letting more of yourself come out to play!

FREE AIR!! (How To Receive)
As Diane and I were heading out of Dodge (also known as driving to New York to visit relatives) I thought it would be smart to make sure all her tires were inflated.
(And by the way, this is kinda sorta gonna be about marketing, but even if you aren’t a marketer, you can plug this into any part of your life you’d like.)
Now in the almost 14 years we’ve been living in Bristol, Connecticut, I’ve always gone to the same gas station to inflate my tires. Not only is it free, they even have a built in tire gauge on the air hose. You can make sure you’re getting the right amount of PSI, and not have to worry about whether your gauge is in that little pocket on your door.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s also the gas station I most frequently fill up at. You bring me in with free air, not to mention convenience and a couple of cents less than most of the other stations, and I’m yours.
So when I drove in a few weeks ago and the air compressor had a hand-written “Out of Order” sign on it, it was no big deal. I still gassed up there, but drove to another station that I noticed had an air compressor…also free.
Good thing too. The front passenger tire was pretty low.
About three weeks went by and the “Out of Order” sign was still there. Actually it was replaced by a different hand written sign.
This time I went to the other station and filled up the tires.
Then I filled up the tank.
That kinda sorta turned into my station of choice.
Not every time.
But it achieved what the professionals call Market Penetration.
It got a piece of the action.
What it did was inject an emotional connection.
I began to associate this station with convenience, safety and – for lack of a better term – giving a gosh darn about its facilities.
No, I didn’t say gosh darn.
Bring it back around, Baby!
Whether you’re marketing, seeking out a lover, looking to run with a different crowd, lose weight…anything….
What you put out to the world, and the people in it, determines the EMOTIONAL CONNECTION they have with you.
And that in turn determines who you attract, what you attract, who you run with.
Looking to suck up every morsel from every sale?
You’re a greedy *^#$!…whether it’s true or not.
(And if you’re charging for something the rest of the world takes for granted, it’s probably true.)
Looking to give and give and give, and not worry about receiving?
You’re a patsy. People will take from you. And it won’t be the people you want to hang with.
It’ll be the people who take without giving as a way of life.
Looking to give to others, with enough self-respect and confidence to expect a fair exchange in return?
You’re in the ZONE!
Now you’re safe. You’re also competent, attractive and open for business.
Give it away…within reason.
Your Pal,
Larry

How To Juggle (and Change Your Life Forever)
"I’ve coached with Larry before and always came away with something good that I could use. Last winter I hit a bad patch of doldrums — just couldn’t get out of my own way. I definitely needed a jump start and figured that Larry was the man to do it. I told Larry I needed someone to kick my a** - in a good way - and he has done a great job. As always. Thanks to Larry, I’m back on track physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I’m getting stuff done.

"Larry’s influence has helped me embrace, acknowledge and appreciate whatever is going on in my life. I feel myself growing in confidence and stature as I rediscover the imaginative, reactive magnificent ME. I’m seeing life from a whole new perspective, loving this idea of playing BIG, right now it feels like an overarching radiance, beginning to notice far reaching ripple effects as I dance through life, creating a splash and inviting people to join in."

"Larry has a gift for telling it like it is, has a real, down to earth approach to motivating people to jump not just ahead in their lives, but onto a whole new higher plane than ever thought possible."

"In a world where so many people are stuck in a metaphysical morass, Larry has a uniquely tender ability to reach out from the heart and touch your soul."

"Working with Larry was very helpful and gave me a lot of strength. And I feel things for me are moving forward, I have a long way to go, but I’m confident in my path."

"Larry positively impacts my life in ways I am regularly surprised at, and am incredibly grateful for. He seems to have devoted his life to the enlightenment, freedom and liberation of ALL of us. A human being with such HUGE love and great intention is undeniable. He is simultaneously humble yet powerful. Wise yet playful and lighthearted. A great teacher, yet just one of us, learning as he goes. He inspires me to do and be all
those things, too. A person doesn’t have to have it ALL figured out to lead another up to their next level, they just need to have gone a little before them. We are all here to uplift and inspire each other, and Larry gets that. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. If you feel drawn to him, GO with that."
