Life Is a Participation Sport

Life is a participation sport, not a spectator sport. We have become a society of overfed, undernourished couch potatoes. Maybe it’s because I’m reaching the autumn of my life that I’m much more conscious of being active and healthy instead of sedentary and overweight. Do you think the next generation will be called “baby blubbers” instead of baby boomers?

A cartoon I saw recently showed a pudgy neighbor kid knocking on his friend’s front door, asking his friend’s mom: “Can Johnnie come out and eat?” And not so many years ago it was can he come out and play.

This week, pass up the fast food and junk food, and put some high-octane, nutritious food in your tank.

—Denis Waitley

If you are so smart, then start getting paid what you are worth!
Great headline, eh?
If you don't capture your prospect's imagination and attention with a great first sentence or headline ... you don't have a prospect.
Always think hard about what your first sentence will be. Your career depends on it.
And now for some examples:
* "See your dentist for half-price."
* "Lose your rear-end and make money!"
* "I got divorced at half-price and still drive my BMW."
* "Drive to the bank instead of your job."
Remember, first sentences are used by your competition. Everyone is vying for your prospect's money.

What is your mentality, do you have the job or business mentality. Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Harry Hartley of Calgary, Canada got me thinking. He asked me:
"Do people really want a business of their own? Businesses have headaches. Don't they really just want an income?"
So I got to thinking on my trip back from Canada.
Job holders think business is easy. Just sit back and collect the money. I probably shouldn't change what I say to them.
But if I'm talking to a business owner ... well, maybe I should just say extra income. The business owner certainly doesn't want one more business.

Thanks for this lesson Tom Big Al
