Fishing, Farming and Fear Of Loss
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

More Semi-Random (But Profound) Thoughts
A collection of stuff recently published.
A lot of our “take-aways” – the things we use to guide how we think and what we do – come from those little nuggets we discover here and there.
Maybe you’ll find one or two here!
*** ***
.
When someone doesn’t keep their word with us, we become conditioned to stop believing them. It’s only natural. Same thing works within ourselves. So what say you start making little promises to yourself that you actually keep…and then build from there?
*** ***
People will do more for someone else than they will for themselves. So…act as if that someone you’re doing for is your best self you haven’t met yet…and DO for them!!!
*** ***
If you haven’t stayed up all night at least five times working on your dream, it’s not important enough to you for it to come true.
*** ***
Everyone is someone’s child.
*** ***
When you stop giving a $%#! about what others think of you, weak people will run away. And you will become very attractive to strong, rich, powerful, sexy, happy people.
*** ***
Confidence is usually quiet. But it sure does know how to party. (I turned that into one of my signature quotes.)
*** ***
You can have doubt, and fear and suspicion. You can be shy about taking a risk. You can question the motives of those who market to you, offer their help and expect an exchange of energy. You can do anything you want.
When you’re done with the skepticism, go someplace quiet and ask yourself if that hesitation, that lack of trust and commitment is a big part of what’s held you back from the happiness and success you crave. (What a powerful word….CRAVE!)
*** ***
You understand that lifting people up – genuinely – especially on the Internet makes you irresistible, right?
*** ***
You won’t get anything you “need.” The energy of lack creates more of the same.
Now DESIRE….that’s another story.
How Not To Give A *#%! About What Anyone Else Thinks Of You…
What I really should have called HOW TO RECEIVE.
No, not really. In the first place, I rarely swear.
In the second place, it’s only a small part of the way to get more good stuff in your life.
But it is a part of it.
It’s what holds people back from taking risks.
It’s what holds people back from facing their fears and smashing through them.
Because for many of us, our biggest fear is the disapproval of other people.
It’s why the Number One fear out there is public speaking…
We don’t want to be laughed at.
I get it. I don’t enjoy being laughed at either.
Then again, I really don’t worry about it.
I am secure in my own skin…and in my own sense of worthiness.
It’s what allows me to take risks.
It’s what allows me to get in people’s faces and say what they need to hear.
It’s what lets me give them the tough but unconditional love they really need.
It’s what lets me tell them to give me their money in exchange for something good that I have.
And it lets me have a hell of a good time!
Check out this video for an example. The guy holding the camera was maybe the worst waiter I ever had at a restaurant.
I had the cajones to say it about him while he was videotaping me say it.
Not bad for a guy who grew up desperately wanting to be liked…and willing to sell his soul to make it happen.
*** ***
So short version…
The way not to give a *#%! about what other people think of you is to feel REALLY good about yourself.
And having that high self esteem is a great start.
And having the good stuff in life – the love, the money, the hot bod and laughing face – is an expression of that self-esteem, plus some really good habits.
I boiled it down to a science.
Step by step.
Twenty years of counseling and coaching experience.
Lots of mistakes.
And lots of successes.
Come play!
Your Pal,
Larry
And here’s a secret…
When you stop giving a *#%! about what other people think of you…
Weak people will run away.
And you will become VERY attractive to strong, rich, powerful, sexy, happy people.
And you’ll start living like they live.
And you’ll start getting the things they have.
It’s Step Three in the process of HOW TO RECEIVE.
It’s how one of my students became a multimillionaire.
And how a bunch of them got rid of energy vampires and replaced them with best friends, lovers and great partners of all kinds.
Still think you’re gonna sit in that little space of worrying about what other people think, and break through to what you want?
You know better.
Step up.
Value YOUR opinion of you.
Put away the need for approval from anyone else.
Receive, Baby!!!

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.
B.K.

"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."
Emily P.

"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."
Katherine A.

"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."
Richard C.

"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."
Timor P.

"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."
Liz M.

"Woo Hoo! connecting with you has already sent me in such a good direction! Thank you Larry."
Dianne C.

"Larry is so spontaneous and has a wonderful gift of bringing joy, laughter, seriousness and his expertise in psychology that makes the time fun, uplifting and enlightening."
