The MBTI Personality Temperament theory and other temperament
theories such as Keirsey, my favorite, divide introverts into
four broad basic categories called Guardian, Artisan, Rational
and Idealist. Introverts are people who are energized while
alone and zapped of energy while being ...

Last week we left off with: "Sales went great all week. And then
it happened. A life altering event."
-----------------------------------------------------------------

And now continuing:
I came out one morning to set up my stand and 3 houses down
little Tommy had his own Koolaid stand. And it loomed ominous
for the stand had been purchased and shipped in via mail order.
It was perfect in every way with decorations, sign, and
graphics.
I stood in front of it in awe but also ...

This may come as a surprise... but many marketers are so busy,
they don't have time to get to the next level.
Direct marketers are busy people. But sometimes you can be too
busy for your own good.
So busy in fact that you fail to see the opportunities to move
up a level in your career.

When Richard Branson set up Virgin Airways, did he sit in his
office and wonder if it would ever work? Did Bill Gates sit in
his office wondering if anyone would want to buy his Windows
product? No, ...

Growing up, as a child of the 60's, peace, love and harmony were
the words being chanted by the hippies, flower children and all
who questioned authority and were against the Vietnam War. I
remember thinking how I couldn't wait to grow up. I knew in my
young mind it was only a matter of time before these youthful
rebels would age and mature and eventually be able to take their
place in the world of politics and public opinion. With it, they
would be able to change all the things they saw wrong ...

Can you remember much about the good ole days? Maybe the first
question should be: Do you think they really were "the good ole
days"? I sure do remember those days and I believe there were
many good things about them. Let me tell you why I feel the way
I do about those days and see if you agree with me. Here are
some valuable reasons to consider:
* Crime did not seem to be as rampant and violent.
Now maybe this was not always true where you grew up. But If you
lived in small town America it ...

And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: For my
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities, that power of Christ may rest
upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
Every morning I open the Bible. I can't help but read at least a
verse from the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes because I need
wisdom for each day. Then I would plunge deeply into studying my
Bible. Thirty minutes to an hour later, I would close my Holy
book, pray and face the ...

Let's just say' first thing when you popped out of bed this
morning, you woke up and found a little yellow post-it note
stuck on the bathroom mirror that could transform your life. You
smiled, instantly recognizing this very familiar word.
And on the back were instructions on how to incorporate more of
it in your life so you'd feel less stress, pain and tension'
more carefree, fun and energetic.
Even without the handy-dandy instructions (you think to
yourself)' adding a little more is no big ...

What are your holidays like? Are the chestnuts roasting on an
open fire? Sometimes before the Thanksgiving dishes have been
cleared away, we are out the door and digging deep into our
pocketbooks and spending lavishly on things we don't even care
about. The Sales are on and we are determined to survive the
personal trials of "mall shopping". The bells are ringing as we
get deeper into debt or upset because we can't find the right
gift, or be with the right person. As plans are being ...

When the residents of the Scottish spiritual community of
Findhorn first encountered Pan in the forest, Pan asked them to
convey a message from the Beings of Nature to the rest of
humanity. Pan said: 'Tell them, 'We never left'you did.''
The colorful toucans squawked from within their tiny cage: 'Why
would any free spirit ever confine another free being?'
The incarceration had rendered the once vibrant birds withdrawn
and lifeless captives. Their eyes cried this piercing question
just as the ...

I read an amazing book recently called the Human Fabric. It
resonated so strongly with me that I just had to find and speak
to the author himself, Bijoy Goswami.
Though it is a rare priviledge to speak to an author that has a
dramatic effect upon your life, it is worth noting the Bijoy is
more than just an author. He's also musician, a playwrite, a
public speaker, an Oxford/Stanford Scholor, a tireless networker
and entrepreneur amongst many other things...
The Interview.
DS: What inspired you ...
