33% Discount On “My Baby”

July 10, 2015 By Larry Hochman Leave a Comment

htj cover

Around ten years ago I wrote a story that changed my life.

And when I say I “wrote a story,” what I really mean is it wrote me.

HOW TO JUGGLE was the first book I published on line. I never gave it the proper formatting it deserves, nor the promotion.

That’s about to change.

I could spend the next 12 paragraphs telling you why, but that doesn’t matter.

Here’s what does matter, for you…

This book, about five young adults, and the adventure they have on a Saturday morning has quietly inspired some people to get up, do more and achieve things they never saw themselves doing.

And some people you may know agree with me.

And so, I’ve decided to format it properly, and when the time is right, in the near future, promote it the way it’s supposed to be promoted.

Meanwhile I want you to have it.

And I want to start a buzz around it.

So, for the next 40 people who respond, I’m going to give it to you with a one third discount from its current price of $14.97.

Ten bucks.

When it hits the market in a more serious way later this year, the price point will probably be $19.97.

So it’ll be a 50% discount if you look at it that way. :)

Truth: the current formatting is a mess. It’s not pretty to look at. And I’m delivering them manually. It’s not an automatic download after purchase.

Not yet, anyway.

But the story itself is going to lift you up, as it has for others.

So…ten bucks to be the first kid on your block to have a pre-launch copy of HOW TO JUGGLE.

(And yes, you actually can learn how to juggle from reading the book.)

.


.

Oh yeah, the other thing…

The other thing I’m asking for – and ONLY if you feel it – is a heartfelt testimonial after you’ve read the book.

Yes, I will be using the testimonials to promote.

Talk about how the book affected you…and keep it short! :)

Baltimore

April 30, 2015 By Larry Hochman 1 Comment

.

Read this. It’s ultimately going to be about you.

.

My first public response on the Baltimore riots…

I don’t do politics. Decency isn’t the property of any particular philosophy or movement. It doesn’t belong to the left, or the right or the center.

Whatever did or didn’t happen to Freddie Gray in Baltimore…to think there is anything to be gained by rioting, looting, destroying businesses and plunging a city into darkness…we know better.

This was an organized, synchronized, social media engineered movement. It wasn’t spontaneous. It was by mostly young people with a sense of entitlement far beyond what they’ve earned.

I don’t know what prejudices they’ve had to encounter, and at the moment I don’t care. They had access to technology that planned this.

They didn’t go to Freddie Gray’s funeral. They didn’t know him. They’re undoing all the work of Dr. Martin Luther King and every hero that came after him.

This is a gutless, soulless excuse for cowardice. And yes, it’s easy for me to say it 300 miles removed from the scene in front of a laptop.

But I have much more respect for someone who uses the processes of justice already in place and who lives in integrity to make themselves better…than an organized descent into hatred that’s no different from that of ISIS.

I’m not moving too far off that statement, with a couple of exceptions.

First, I wrote it on April 27, the first night of the looting. Like most of us, my first instinct was to be angry at the most visible element of it, which
was the looting, the violence, the disregard for one’s own community.

Then when I saw the fact that many people in the neighborhoods went and cleaned up the damage, it brought things a bit more into perspective.

My sense is that high school kids (the rioters seem to be mostly in their teens) are of the “respond first and think later” type. I know I was!

And any sense of injustice combined with raging hormones will get people to do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do.

So yes, it’s terrible what happened. And that many unsupervised kids out on their own is a problem unto itself.

It also so happens that unchecked police power combined with poverty produces a recipe for disaster. If you’re curious, Google the Zimbardo prison experiments.

.

I have to step back and wonder how it would feel to constantly walk around feeling like a suspect, simply because of my skin color.

.

And like it or not, that is very much the American condition. Maybe it’s everywhere.

Yes, there are opportunities for black men and women to break through. We see it everyday.

But it is also an assault on their dignity to have to work harder to prove something.

Some people will give into the sense of powerlessness and rob, steal, pillage and destroy.

The strongest among the community raise the bar. But it takes patience, desire and time.

And yes, it is politics…at its most basic level.

Not liberal or conservative. Not Democrat or Republican.

Politics. The setting of policy and the allocation of resources we all pay into.

I’m not going to listen to people who say the 911 operators don’t send police into black neighborhoods. And I won’t hear about organized conspiracies to keep African Americans down.

In the end it all comes down to the same thing…

.

Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You.

.

No, you don’t have to be ultra-talented.

Just make it bad business for the people with money to ignore you.

If you represent market share, make people earn your business.

If you have value to give, give it. And get better at it all the time.

If “the man” won’t let you play, start your own thing.

It worked for Damon John. And Russell Simmons.

And it worked for millions of others of smart, ambitious immigrants and social
classes…of every color.

Yes, there are continuing injustices. And a media who isn’t the least bit shy about covering them.

Use the system. Put the spotlight of shame on the cops and others who play the game dirty.

Same goes for the housewife who’s been under her husband’s thumb for thirty years.

And for the privileged rich kid who has a dream in his or her heart but hasn’t found the courage to stand up to parents who won’t listen.

And for a father who’s a wage slave to his job…and hasn’t figured out how to break out of the box he’s in.

Most won’t ever break through.

The ones who do pave the way for the next generation.

And have a damn good time doing it.

The Straight And Narrow: Reflections On A Car Accident

November 6, 2014 By Larry Hochman 6 Comments

larry hochman car accident card from Debbie

I don’t want to say too much about this right now, because I’m in the middle of it.

But the car accident Sarah and I had last week is showing me things in a whole new light.

I don’t want to say much because there are still legal things to sort out. Insurance and all.

So just a few tidbits…

1. If you love someone, make sure they know it. Now. You’re one texting driver away from leaving someone forever wondering how you felt about them.

2. My chiropractor, Dr. Spitz is right. Many accidents are a blessing in disguise. They’re a wake up call to take care of ourselves. He told me many people come in to relieve their pain, and they wind up having their lives saved.

3. Our backs do really interesting things when their manipulated. My body has made many sounds in the almost 49 years I’ve been kicking around. But none like this!

4. See the photo above, from Debbie. Every incident and accident (and I know this was a very small one) is an opportunity for grace and compassion…giving and receiving.

That’s all I got for now. Believe me…I’m gearing up for more!

One Way To Overcome Bad Habits

October 22, 2014 By Larry Hochman 10 Comments

larry hochman keys

I am in the weirdest state!

Maybe I’m not the only one to do something like this. Maybe it just feels that way…

For the last two days I’ve lost my keys. I’d come home, do my usual thing, then need to go out somewhere.

I’d look for the keys in all the usual spots…starting with the hook I automatically hang them on when I come home.

Nothing.

Then I’d retrace my steps. And look in the usual spots…including where I keep my wallet and cell phone charger.

Still nuttin’.

The first day I grabbed the keys to one of the other cars and when about my business.

Today I was all set to do the same, to pick up my daughter after her college class. Same problem…no keys.

Only this time, right before I was set to use the spare key, I looked where I eventually found them yesterday.

There they were…

In the ignition of my car.

Apparently they never made it out either day after I came home.

Doesn’t seem like that big a deal, does it? I mean, it’s the kind of thing everyone does from time to time, right along with leaving the house key in the front door.

Thing is…when I came home yesterday, I was the only one there, and I remember the door being locked, or at least I think I do.

And that means the keys had to have come out of the car so I could get in the house.

That had me scratching my head a bit. Never did figure that one out.

Today, before I left to get Sarah it occurred to me to look in the ignition. Yup…there they were.

It reminded me of a very strange thing that happened when I was in third grade. I used to wear undershirts under my regular shirt. Just a matter of course.

(This is one of those embarrassing moments I only share with my pals on this blog.)

One day my father had me take off my undershirt. I don’t know why. Maybe it was because it was time to do a load of laundry. I took it off…

And there was another one underneath it. Apparently I had forgotten to take one off before I put the other on.

It was one of those moments that was so bizarre, there was no other choice but to laugh. So we did.

Then I took the second one off.

Yup…there was a third.

It got to that Twilight Zone moment.

And it was one of those pivotal moments in the father and son relationship. Dad could have ruined me with yelling at my sloppiness, or bad hygiene. Hey, if I had three undershirts on, that tells you how many days it had been since Larry had a shower.

Or he could have laughed along with me.

Good pal that he was – and still is – we had a good laugh over it.

And that was the last time I had duplicate undershirts.

So, bringing it back to present day…

We all have our own forms of bad habits, or weirdness. I just laid out one of mine.

And there are a bunch of ways to break them.

.

My favorite one is to detach from the usual emotional response to them.

.

I could have been mortified when I peeled off layer after layer of undershirt. Instead I found safety and humor.

I could have beaten myself up for whatever short circuit in my brain caused me to keep leaving the keys in the car (and might do the same thing again tomorrow).

Instead, I pivoted to my anchor behavior, which made me feel instantly good, and changed the environment in which I operate.

Will I purge the bad habit? Maybe. I’m sure I have a better chance than if I let my frustration and anxiety keep building.

What about you?

YOUR TURN!

Got any habits of your own you’d like to get rid of…strange or otherwise?

How has humor and “chilling out” worked?

Any suggestions of your own?

Awesome Job, Brother!

September 7, 2014 By Larry Hochman 3 Comments

awesome job brother

I  had just finished a challenging set of pull-ups on my Saturday work out.

.

I did, well…a lot of them. Didn’t think much of it because it’s what I do.  It’s what I’ve been doing for years.

I took my usual 72 second break between sets. (Yeah, I’m kinda regimented that way.)

On my way to the water fountain I heard him…

.

.

Awesome Job, Brother.

.
It was that guy. He was around 18, and in elite physical shape for any age.

That’s him, at the top of this post. Not a stock photo. The real dude!

See, he represents the guy I permitted myself to feel inferior to you throughout my youth.

He’s the guy I felt was bullying me, judging me, taking my stuff.

Turns out he wasn’t doing any of that. It was 90% inside my own head.

And of course ten percent of it was real. It was a few people needing to feel bigger by making someone else feel smaller. That’s the human condition. I’ve done it. So have you. It’ll always be there.

The question is… How much do you want to be a slave to it?

How responsive do you want to be to needing approval from other people? To worrying about what they’ll  think of you?

This very cool young man was complimenting me for banging out a whole bunch of pull up that most men my age just don’t do. I think he was also complimenting the fact that my form was perfect. Slow, full range of motion, proper breathing.

And then we did the fist bump!  :)

See, I liberated myself from worrying about what the big guys stop years ago. Some would argue I am one of those big guys now.

I don’t see it. Or more accurately I do see myself as one of those big guys. In fact I know I am.

But that has nothing to do with comparisons to anyone else. That’s all me. My skills, my work ethic, my worthiness.

And yes, I’ve achieved some pretty cool results.

That’s available to everyone. Yes, you too.

So when one of the big guys, or cool guys, or beautiful people – whatever you want to call them – interact with me, it’s fun.

I feel like I belong with them. I am one of them.

I had been the whole time. Just took a while to put away the narrative I had that said I wasn’t good enough to be one.

(The Guru Code people know all about that!)

And I had to replace with with seeing myself as someone bigger than I had been living.

And for a while, getting away from blaming anyone for my position in life besides myself.

And then not blaming myself anymore…replacing anger with forgiveness and love…toward myself.

And freeing up the space to work my ass for what I wanted.

And also letting it come to me…gently and gracefully.

So that when someone looks up to me as a “Big Guy,” I can see the Big Guy in them as well…male or female.

And contribute a little to the process that lets their own Big Guy come out.

YOUR TURN!

What have you let go of that was holding you back from becoming the Awesome Person that’s already inside you?

What are you still holding onto?

What’s your plan for getting rid of it?

Comment and share! People are looking to you for leadership.

What People are Saying

In just 60 minutes of coaching, Larry helped me look at my business obstacles in different ways, and suggested specific steps I could take to resolve these issues. Since our session and by applying Larry’s methods, I’ve experienced a 30% bump in my business income (my best month ever). I directly attribute this to working with Larry and feeling more confident in receiving money for my expertise.

Dr. Bob Clarke

My monthly business income has almost doubled in the past few months. A lot of that is because of my coaching with Larry.

Chad F. Ohio

I met Larry when he came to the Capital District to speak at a business seminar. Watching Larry Speak was mesmerizing and I was able to take so much away from his speech.I also hired Larry for one of his series of coaching and learned so much in the hours we spoke. He helped me set a great foundation for a game plan I set in motion. Larry is great to speak with, can put you in the right direction with grace and ease. I would hire him again without a split second of hesitation.”

Christine Harvey Berry New York

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. Washington

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. United Kingdom

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. Maryland

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. Massachusetts

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. Israel

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. California

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

Dianne C. Massachusetts

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.

Phyllis S. Virginia
