Change is a basic survival mechanism. Youth and inexperience love change. As we get older- we develop a resistance to change-at times to our detriment. Adopting and promoting change in our lives as well as the lives of others is a progressive and entrepreneurial trait. Change Agents lead the way. They prefer to be the ones blazing trails and making changes. And now I have some great news to share with you.
Over the last 8 months, I have been working on a book with some of the top entrepreneurs all around the world—including the legendary Brian Tracy! The Celebrity Experts ® in this book have attained success by changing both themselves and the world around them to some degree. Descriptively called Agents of Change, the Celebrity Experts ® in this book seek to make new inroads into the field of expertise they represent.
The great news is the book that we all wrote together, “Change Agents” is coming out Thursday!
We’ll be launching the book this week, Thursday, September 19th, (don’t worry I’ll remind you!), and I’ve put together a huge bonus package for you if you’ll help us launch the book on Thursday!
Like I said, I’ll remind you, but if you are willing to help us launch with great success, by buying the book (It’s only $18.70!), then I’ll give you HUNDREDS of dollars worth of bonuses in addition to the great ideas you will get from reading the book.
I appreciate your support and I’ll get back with to remind you about the launch and to tell you more about the bonuses I’m putting together!
I had a wild idea for cooking a piece of pork shoulder … for those in the know – shoulder comes from one of the front legs of the piggie and weighs in at over twenty pounds when properly dressed and de-boned. Our offering is part of the shoulder and tipped the scales at around 6 pounds or so. I opened it up with what I could only call a “butterfly” cut and started the cooking process on the bbq – grilled on both sides for about 10 minutes per side and added the pink Himalayan salt as it was cooking. I also grilled 6 Pasilla peppers (halved and seeded) and 4 Jalepenos (also halved and seeded).
Into the cast iron Dutch oven went a few tablespoons of coconut oil and then I quartered 3 small onions and added them to the hot oil. 3 apples – quartered and cored were added and the grilled peppers were added next – imagine the layering of the mix of veggies – NO stirring. In went the grill-marked pork and a dozen or so garlic cloves (whole-with most in the center of the meat). The chosen liquid was two bottles of beer (not saying what kind) … and the oven was set to 275F from about 11:30 until about 5:30pm …
About mid-afternoon the mind-bending aromas began to fill the house and it became almost unbearable by about 5 pm – thus my ending the first part of the activity and beginning the second.
There is not a photographic record of the deed and most of the memories will only exist in our minds, but this is the most amazing piece of piggie that has ever graced our plates.
Don Silver weighing in on the difference between Empowerment and Enabling
We often see what appears to be an very empowering article or posting and don’t always recognize the difference between that and the reality of it being just an enabler doing their enabling thing. One issue that immediately presents itself is the definition of either is the same … if you empower someone you are enabling them and if you enable someone then you are empowering them. How is it that societally we see them as different actions and no where near the same?
I want people to be empowered and able to be, do and have any and all they can imagine and some things they might not be currently able to imagine. The enabler wants to have the illusion of empowerment and maintain them in a level of subservience and not fully complete or competent to “be all they can be” … and yet I think that most of them do not know or understand the difference and thus, the damage.
One of the things that comes to mind when I ponder this is the movie “Idiocracy” – we are dumbing down to the point where the “feel good” words are passed around as empowerment and nothing changes. Our elementary schools teach “sight reading” instead of phonics and the students are rewarded for their effort instead of results. Arithmetic is similarly graded on effort instead of results. They don’t have to memorize the multiplication tables or really learn to think.
Let’s get back on track where we actually learned things and thought for ourselves. Empower yourself to be more able to accomplish more than you think you can and empower your family to accomplish more then YOU think they can. Start now. Your success will reward you and all those around you.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words… that must mean that a video is priceless!
