Veteran’s Day/Liberation Day Sale

what a week…

So much has been going on in my life. Been a whirlwind of emotions, exhaustion, highs, lows, and everything in between..

Personally and professionally.

I have gotten respectful “feedback” about emailing people my personal stuff when this is supposed to be purely a “marketing” email.

It’s wierd becuase, I actually don’t ever remember labeling myself that way or even remotely ever ONLY emailing marketing stuff.

If I have been emailing you previous to 2018, you might know that I have been an open book throughout my whole journey…

Including personal things such as when we got rental scammed and had the police come banging on the door and throwing me and my little family out in the rain back in North Carolina…

Or when I shared when I moved back to Sacramento to help my Dad bury his baby sister…

And even shared when I proposed to my lovely Sisi and we got married on the beach…

So… marketing email?  I guess.  I will do my civic duty and from now on stay on task.

And I will leave my personal stuff and blabbing to my blog if that is what you prefer….

But I digress…

That was not the point of this email. This email was to honor the Veterans here in the United States and across the entire world. Today is the day we take the time to show them the respect they deserve to get 365 days a year…. but I won’t even get started on that rant… (enough with the digressions)

Just so happens share my Liberation day – The day I “retired” and broke free from the system and quit my corporate job.

I usually take the time to celebrate it and doing something fun and make a big ol fuss about it.

But, can you believe it…

with all the aforementioned crap going on in my tiny little world right now…

I actually forgot!!!!!

Yep, it was yesterday. And I didn’t even remember

11/10/07

That a the day (I said) I would never forget….

It has been 11 years now that I have been unemployed!

11 YEARS!

I had no idea what I was doing or where this journey would take me. There was no way I could prepare for things like getting robbed the very first day when we moved to the Virgin Islands, or, being from California, being terrified as we braced ourselves for Hurricane Sandy weeks after we moved to New York.

So many things have happend, I am just so dang ol grateful that I truly get choked up remembering all these things.

I know last year which was the decade year I did a sale to celebrate so I thought I would do the same.

Typically what I do is pic a single product and discount it for a few days for the sale…

But I know not everyone is at the same state and want the same things…

So this year I have put everything up on my school and giving a 75% off coupon for any and all classes you choose.

And if I forgot one and you remember it, email me the name of it and I will create it for you

Just use the coupon code: LIBERATIONDAY

at checkout and see the discount applied

This will be available for 3 days only and then the coupon code will expire

My hope is that it will help you to make a life long lasting change that you will be celebrating for years to come as well…

I would like to be a part of that change..

Let’s make it happen

Help – I fell into a hole

…. but it isn’t my fault……………

========
Recently I was reminded of a story I heard by the great late Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

He met a lady who, while at an event, was told to write the chapters of her life in 5 chapters.

Stop me if you know this story…..

…..

No?   Great. I will continue

They were only given small cards to write on so it would not get too lenghty.

What follows is the story of her life in 5 chapters

THERE’S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost …. I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit … but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.

What chapter are you on?

When Is The Perfect Time To Give Up

Nothing is working when you have tried it all

There’s comfort when you bang your head on the wall

Spinning in circles until you are dizzy and sick

You just want to scream at the world “SUCK MY …. THICK…
THUMB”, and go put like a baby

Today is the day I give up…. Maybe.

Seems to make since to end this suffering

So much more worse than Netflix buffering

So when is better time, one better than now

To give up on your dreams and run like a mad cow

…..

…..

 

NEVER!

 

 

Burn the Fuck Up!

Are you familiar with the Mythology or Legend of the Phoenix bird?  It is a powerful symbol.

One that I have permanently etched in ink on my arm actually.

I never really show it. But I stare at it often.

It is for me. A reminder….

 

ancient-origins.netThe Phoenix in Egyptian, Arab, & Greek Mythology of the long-lived bird, “When it feels its end approaching, it builds a nest with the finest aromatic woods, sets it on fire, and is consumed by the flames. From the pile of ashes, a new Phoenix arises, young and powerful. It then embalms the ashes of its predecessor in an egg of myrrh, and flies to the city of the Sun, Heliopolis, where it deposits the egg on the altar of the Sun God.”

Ancient Symbolism of the Magical Phoenix

The mythical phoenix has been incorporated into many religions, signifying eternal life, destruction, creation and fresh beginnings. Click here to read the full story ancient-origins.net

 

Sometimes, when thinks arn’t working out as they should, or  maybe you need a change, sometimes you just gotta burn the fuck up!

There is a saying that goes something like “you can’t steal second base while keeping one foot on first”. If you know American baseball you will get the reference.

Sometimes we are looking for change but still want to hold on to the thing we are trying to change.

It doesn’t work very well does it?

You gotta go all or nothing for true lasting impact!

Set that shit ablaze … you will be surprised at what emerges from the ashes

I am breaking my silence…

this has gone on long enough

But I can’t hold my tongue any longer

I have been doing this in silence because I just hate having to explain it or the instant judgment that comes with what I am about to tell you…

But if we are to stay connected, It is not like me to shy away from personal stuff that I share.

And I have lost that. I have not been writing to you because a lot has been going on.

But I promise to be a better mentor, advisor, positive influence and dare I say.. friend and write to you more often.

But here goes…

Ready…?

I am Vegan!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!!?

I love vegans memeHave been for over a year now. My wife Sisi, started earlier and it’s closer to 2 years for her. I was “afraid” to put that label on it so I wasn’t keeping track of an exact date when it happened.

When offered, I would just politely decline the meals and say I would get my own food later without giving a reason.

As soon as you say you are vegan I get questions like…

“So.. are you like… a hippie?”

“Are you going to become a bra-burning activist?”

and the every so hated…

“But… where do you get your protein from bro?”

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be sharing more about the struggle (it’s real), the reasons behind the transition and why I want to punch most of my friends and family square in the back of their foreheads all in coming emails/blogs…

Yep.. you heard me.. BLOG!!!

I am going back to one of my abandoned loves. WRITING!

It might just read like a 14-year-old girls diary, filled with crushes and fashion crisises’s…

But I will be writing again.

I have so much more to tell you

Wifi Hotspots Can Be Dangerous

Was at my neighborhood wifi hotspot last night. Went to my normal quiet place to connect.
This place is nice. It’s super quiet. No annoying barrista’s yelling out the wrong names every 14 seconds to sizes of drinks that make no sense whatsoever
No. I found a golden little undiscovered gem. Dang near completely isolated. Lots of empty tables and places to plug in.
Would actually have more space it the place didn’t also double as a self-storage.
They have endless racks of useless old junk covered in mounds of dust.
Seems no one really knows why the junk is there. But they make a point to keep it tidy and organized anyway.
Everything was going great except for last night.
Last night there was a disturbance and my hotspot.
Apparently someone tried to steal something from the storage.
He claimed he was a member of the warehouse and was allowed to “BORROW” stuff from time to time.
He seemed official to be honest.
He had a badge that he swiped and seemed to logically make note of the materials he was trying to borrow.
But since none of the workers had ever seen anyone with such clearance or anyone every try to leave with anything, you can imagine why they panicked.
So upon checking out a physical book from the storage and trying to leave the library… he was immediate arrested.
Investigation pending

Why Procrastinators Procrastinate

waitbutwhy.comWho would have thought that after decades of struggle with procrastination, the dictionary, of all places, would hold the solution. I would do those the night before, until I realized I could just do them through the night, and I did that until I realized I could actually start them in the early morning on the day they were due. This behavior reached caricature levels when I was unable to start writing my 90-page senior thesis until 72 hours before it was due, an experience that ended with me in the campus doctor’s office learning that lack of blood sugar was the reason my hands had gone numb and curled up against my will.

How To Get Someone’s Attention – And Keep It!

 

How to Deliver Criticism So Employees Pay Attention

Strategies for coaching athletes don’t always work for executives trying to manage employees. But when it comes to delivering criticism, I do think some best practices translate. Used correctly, criticism can improve performance, enhance trust and respect, and advance the achievement of mutual goals. Used incorrectly, it can be toxic to a relationship.

 

Engage the person in a specific solution. All too often managers offer criticism in general terms, leaving the receiver to guess what remedy is expected.

Link the criticism to what’s most important to the employee. My coach knew I wanted to please my parents.

 

After all, they sacrificed a lot to allow me to pursue my dream of one day being in the Olympics. So, during diving workouts, if I was goofing off, all my coach had to say to get me focused was, “Do you think what you are doing right now is going to make your parents proud of you and get you into the Olympics?” How to Deliver Criticism So Employees Pay Attention

Cardone ZoneThis week on my show Cardone Zone I talked about the importance of ATTENTION to growing your business, your sales revenue and your brand. Attention is the Holy Grail of all business activities and the number one activity I am focused on this year to expand my business.For the full show you can go to GrantCardone.com/CardoneZone What do I mean when I am talking about attention? I am talking about enough attention that you and your company own the market.A&E tried to dump Pat Robertson of Duck Dynasty for his in your face commitment to family values, his and religious beliefs. They failed to dump him because 11 million viewers (attention) said NO.Attention is the first STEP to growing your business, the first step to getting your products into marketplaceAnd the single biggest problem for all entrepreneurs who want to grow their business. Over the last 5 years I have worked very hard to get the right kind of attention. I have used radio, tv, advertising and social media. Over the last five years we posted over 1000 videos on you tube, and tens of thousand of blogs, strategies, and post on other social mediums.

My Pizza Guy Is An Asshole!

I know it!

You know it!

But nobody has enough nads to say anything about it. 

He’s sleazy, pushy, aggressive, and just downright scum. Just like all “salesmen” right?

That is why no one ever wants to be known as a salesman… Because of guys like the pizza man!

Tell me if this scenario sounds familiar…

 

Pizza Pusher:Would you like to add a soup or salad to that order?

Me:umm no

Pizza Pusher:Would you like to add buffalo wings, they are on special?

Me:Ok, sure

Pizza Pusher:Probably going to need drinks to wash it down, can I add a couple 2 Liters to the order?

Me: *sigh* Ok

Pizza Pusher:We also have garlic bread just fresh out of the oven.

Me: Well you GOTTA have garlic bread… if it’s fresh right? Sure, add a few.

Pizza Pusher:You know, for just $3 more you can make it an extra large and get 33% more pizza.

Me:Well that sounds reasonable. I’d be LOSING money if I didn’t

Pizza Pusher:Great. Would you also like to make it a double meat for just $4 more?

Me:I’m too committed now…Why not?

Pizza Pusher:Fantastic. Would you also like to sign up for direct deposit of all your future checks on payday?

Me:Sounds good.

—–
If you ask me, he is one sleazy bastard. I just went in there to play Terminator 2 Pinball machine and I end up signing up for their 401k Dough for Dough benefits package!

And yet, when it comes to me offering one of my many products or services to business professionals… there is immediate resistance.

Because no one wants to be known as a “salesman” but want to sell their stuff

Sounds kind of crazy! We want what we want but don’t want what is required to obtain the wanting stuffs.

See if this scenario also hits home a bit:

Me: Hey I have this really great product or service.

Me: Well.. it’s not that great. I mean, it’s ok.

Also Me: You might like it, you might not. Either is ok.

Still Me:I would like you to buy it. But is ok if you don’t.

Forever Me:Am I being to pushy?

Sadly… still Me: You know what… never mind. You probably don’t need it. Forget I said anything. Please like me.

—-

It’s just absurd.

On the other hand, the pizza guy has no problem being a sleazy salesman…

So why doesn’t the pompous pizza pusher feel bad about making known everything he has to offer you at every chance he gets?

Why do you?

i'm not crazy

I am NOT a Sellout!

I try hard everyday just like you.

I give my all to every situation

And yet… sometimes.. I do the unthinkable

I do NOT Sell out!

Before the holidays I conducted a new class.

It was a unique way to pursuade (sell) anything to anyone in any situation…

Yeah.. it can work for just about any situation where you need to be more effective in your “convincing”.

Need to get the kids to eat their split pea soup? Take this class

Would like to have more clients/leads into your pipeline? Take this class

Want to effective get your husband to sit through the new hit movie musical “La La Land”…. ummm… buy him a beer and promise him he can throw a superbowl party at your house in a few weeks…

oh and also... take this class!

But it gets even sweeter…

I actually tried to giveaway 250 copies.

I guess everyone was busy with sugarplums dancing in their heads…

Anyway, I had taken the offer away and then raised the price. So now it has been for sale.

But since I never actually sold out of my free copies…

I am putting the remaining ones back up for grabs!

So… go here now and get the class for free

And even if you don’t, it will still be worth the low low price if you miss your chance for a free one…

[Gift 2 of the season giveaways] More time this time

If you missed my previous email with gift 1 of the season, I explained that I am going to be giving stuff away up until Christmas

Well the first gift was all out within about 4 minutes of me sending the email.

Which is why I said you need to read my emails and read them fast.

Well even with the rules in place, I got quite a few emails telling me that it wasn’t fair. Or that they dont check emails at work or during supper or whatever.

So I promised that I would vary the times I send the gifts out since I typically always write at night and send emails late.

I would also vary the way you can get them and make it fun

So this time I just learned how to do an amazon “giveaway”

This is my first time ever using it … but so far I like it.

This time i set up multiple gifts and I set it to a drawing through amazon so the winner is random.

It’s pretty cool and I like it. So I will be doing several through this.

And I also plan to make the gifts increasingly better the closer we get to Christmas.

Why would I do this you ask?

Purely selfish reasons of course.

I want you to read my emails!

OBVIOUSLY!

Sometimes I write and plan for hours to create something of value for you. And I’m a sensitive guy. …

How do you think it makes me feel to see that you never even opened it?

You didn’t think about that at all, did you?

NOPE!

See, you’re selfish too. So we can be pals 🙂

Anyway, more to come

P. James “Ho HO HO” Holland
Coach Comeback

[Gift 1 of the season giveaways] Let the games begin – you gotta be quick

Every time I send you an email from now til Christmas, it will contain some sort of gift.

BUT….

It WILL be limited.

It will either be TIME SENSITIVE. Like a self destructing gift that is removed after 1 hour of being sent.

Or maybe a limited gift (like this one) that is a book I purchased myself and select the “gift” option in amazon and it gives me a code to give a way. So in that case it goes to whoever is the first to redeem it.

Or it might be one where I ask a riddle or something and the first person to respond with the correct answer gets whatever I am giving away.

Either way it will be something fun. Or my attempt at something fun. Or something that entertains me in some way… because that what the holidays are all about right?

NOTE:I send my emails out to a couple thousand of my contacts. So you have to be pretty quick when you read my emails. My best suggestion is to set up an email rule or an alert so you are notified on your computer AND mobile the second I send you something.

Just a tip 😉

So this is gift 1 for the holiday season…

It is a copy of one of my books found here on Amazon

Once there, when you go to purchase, there is an option in the right column that says “enter promotional code or gift code”

Enter this: (enable images if you cannot see the code below)
enable images for code
Another, more stern, note: If you do not plan on immediately using (reading, in this case) said gift and putting it into action, OR, you already own it, please leave it for someone else to use. Some people (not you) will take any and all gifts just for the sake of getting something

Not you…. of course.

If you did not make it in time, worry not. I have many more to come, so maybe you will get something even COOLER in the next email.

In the meantime you can listen to the latest podcast where I pretty much self-deprecate the entire time my own personal disgust with myself. I’m a work in progress…

ps. I really do want to make this fun, so I am open to suggestions for any other gift ideas. Just ask

pps. And now here is an inspirational quote… with a bit of my type of humor. Because if you can’t enjoy a little inspiration…. then you are probably a Nazi… in which case, you likely wont like much of anything I say. Which would be confusing as to why a Nazi that doesn’t like me is reading my email, or even knows how to read email, or has opposable thumbs

Women wins $43mil jackpot and ends up $2 bucks to show for it

No, she didn’t blow it all on books and Thunder From Down Under lifetime passes like I would have.

Some things just don’t go your way when you have no proof.

To be fair, the casino’s are designed to make sure no one every REALLY wins…

SO when I found out what they did to her, I wasn’t really shocked.

Woman Wins $43 Million Slot Machine Jackpot — But All She Got Was Meat | Huffington Post

An unemployed mother of four says she is suing Resorts World Casino in Queens, New York City, after a slot machine indicated she won $43 million ― but all she got was a steak dinner.

“I feel like they did me real dirty,” Katrina Bookman told the New York Daily News in a story published Wednesday. ….. continue reading huffingtonpost.com

 

This poor sap bits the big jackpot on the penny slots (oh the irony) for 43mil. Already taking selfies with the machine, gave her boss a virtual kick in the ass and already purchasing plane tickets and an Uber to leave the husband and kids for some unnamed island.

Only to have the management come over and discover (after some sort of undisclosed inspection) that she didn’t actually win and it was just a glitch.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt?!?!?!

I thought that is part of the rule – if the cherries line up, the thing dings and screen flashes your life before your eyes… you are a winner right?

Nope, She got $2.25 to take home after it was all said and done.

You can read the rest of the story here

So what would you do? Does she have any rights? Or should she just be happy she still has kneecaps?

Fair if it is a legitimate machine glitch or would you fight this and get your money?

 

 

Quote – The End Of The Day

“It’s never too late to start over. If you weren’t happy with yesterday, try something different today. Don’t stay stuck, do better.”

Easier said than done. Sometimes you think wht you did was really productive and it isn’t until much later you realize nothing you did today even mattered towards your ream goal.

Happens to me often. A lot more lately. I fell like I worked my tail to the bone all afternoon . . Only to look back and realize cheering for the Eagles is a full time job

NEW: After Hours Treat To Celebrate Disneland’s Magic Kingdom 25th Anniversary For Lovebirds

Now the happiest place on earth and the saddest place on earth can collide

You Can Now Get Married at the Magic Kingdom After Hours And It’s Totally Magical

https://style.disney.com/news/2016/10/10/you-can-now-get-married-at-the-magic-kingdom-after-hours-and-its-totally-magical/Having your wedding at the Magic Kingdom is basically every fairy tale fan’s dream come true. Earlier this year, Disney Weddings announced that ceremonies could now take place in the East Plaza Garden in front of Cinderella Castle, which we were totally thrilled about. And now, Disney Weddings revealed their newest wedding locale and it goes without saying that it’s all kinds of enchanting. Click here to read the full story style.disney.com

 

I mean, getting married is already strange enough to manage because nothing ever goes as planned. Now throw in a princess, glass slippers and an alchol restriction and I see nothing but problems headed your way.

Could get exciting really fast.

“Hey beast, get on over here an ring my bell and turn my clock” Belle says.

“Um, would love to, but you should probably save that for the groom”

To many masks and costumes. How are you supposed to know who is who? And hyperventilating is always a risk at any wedding. More so when you are wearing a 79lb mask.

The tea cups could be filled with booze.

And the Happiest place on earth could keep it’s reputation in tact.

So which comes first? The Chicken or the Egg?

Do you buy the scissors to open the scissor pack?

Such is life

“Men and women think differently, approach problems differently, emphasize the importance of things differently, and experience the world around us through entirely different lenses,” says Marianne J. Here are some of the significant differences in the brain structure and function she describes in the books:The Anterior Cingulate Cortex weighs options and makes decisions. It’s the worry-wort center, and it’s larger in women than men. The Medial Preoptic Area is the area for sexual pursuit. It’s 2.5 times larger in the male.

Women have a higher rate of blood flow to parts of the brain associated with memory.  According to Dr. Marianne Legato, M.D., “This is one of the reasons researchers give for the overwhelming evidence that women have better immediate and delayed recall of the spoken word.”  Women’s higher levels of estrogen also helps with memory.  “Higher levels of it are associated with improved learning and memory,” says Dr. Legato, “and this may be why women are better at these tasks.
