A San Fransisco Treat!

O.k., where I'm from Fruits & Nuts are not just the ingredients to your fave trail mix. They're Californian's, too.
So, like everyone else in Tejas, I believe this bologna.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but Cali's lifestyle and culture is why one can't live there unless you have a mil or two. So, who's in the tail-mix now, sista? Maybe there's some cashew's or what about some wal-nuts? So what that a 4K SF casa goes for 350 in h-town in a golf course community. One can't just prance around in their work-out gear sportin' a backpack and look ultra-cool!!

Try it, see what it gets you--or what it doesn't for that matter. Sparkly shirts & jeans? Too dressy for Cali...at least in the Silicon Valley, where all the money is. What an interesting paradigm? So, the money's there and people live their dream and they have beautiful weather, personalities and comfy clothing--makes me wonder what kind of fruit I should be....

Working for Fun

Isn't that what life's all about? Are you there yet? Of course there's always daily things that get in your way of doing EXACTLY what you want, right? But, we can have it all. It's possible. The key is doing what you love, while helping others. Whether you're entertaining, giving information/advising, volunteering or helping someone with their taxes, the act of giving is the fulfillment factor we all seek. The mindless work of paperwork is agonizing for me. The worst thing you could ever do is sit me in the room to make revisions and edits to documents. Working with paper. Not with people. This is the death of the productive worker, on occasion, for others it's where they find their own peace. Interesting concept to ponder!

Land of Reason

Holy Moly. You would never think that a little town in the middle of the Bible Belt
would hold SO much opportunity. I never new it's the L.A. of the South, for the entertainment industry. Kind of like Austin is for Music, this place is for the TV and movie industry. Really cool, people that are more interested in the quality and not a lot else, flock to this area. Understandably, so. The people are AWESOME, everyone is welcoming and without an ulterior motive--no joke, people like this actually exist--and they're PLENTIFUL!!! Everyone from the cashier at the convenience store to the guy that's worth millions at the little g-zillion$$$ studio in the middle of BFE!!!

If you get a chance, go there....not much to do, but get there, fast!

Turning Points

We all have a turning point in our life that we remember. Funny thing is that we remember it while we're going through yet, another turning point. --Looking back or looking forward. It pretty much all comes down to that when you're getting close to some sort of huge success in life. Realizing that something is SO important that all the "mistakes" you made in the past actually matter because we LEARNED from them, right? Not sure about you, but that's a real cool thing, to know with out a doubt that you NEVER want to go back to that dark place that didn't add any value what-so-ever to your life now. Whatever it was, it just took away from life--but we didn't know it then.

Walking blind. Swishing a a guide-stick like a day job to get us through while our true passion is figured out. Some of us figure this out at a very early age and don't let anything come between us and our goals, sacrificing human relationships because of it. While the rest of us put our human relationships between us and a measure of success....but some super talented and fulfilled people have a nice, healthy balance. They say no to people and to success at the same time. Why not say Yes to both??? It's totally possible to have it all! Why the limitations? Fear of change, fear and more fear of the unknown. Then fear....back to fear of failure, second guessing and looking back "reflection"...not necessarily of how you came out of a situation with soaring colors, but the situation. It's just a situation, whether it's intentional or not--there's always a way out.

A good way & a bad way---a choice to make, right? Wo, we're getting deep...

But why not have it all? It's possible, but it takes a ton of "work"....entrepreneurs have to describe it as work to be credible to the rest.....but it's not really work because that's when they shine, are in the element and excited and exuberant ideas start flowing....another topic for another day...

So, what do you get when you put 2 entrepreneurs in a room? 24 different ways to help other's lives easier, and a boat load of work for the techie's, accountants & lawyers.

Turn the page

A life today. It is everything. Networks of family (was about to put friends first), but family, friends and all the rest have the ability to capture a life today. How talents are unleashed is the test. "Embrace your weirdness", as my little sister says.

I always thought that just living was good enough, doing my very personal best and living each day, then waking up to the next. BOR-ing....hear the sound...

That's not living, that's being. What good does it do to just be?....BOR-ing, (sigh). What defines and separates from the person sitting next to me isn't what I do better than them, it's how figuring out how to help them.

Today is the promise and the threat. It's a challenge to see what this minute brings, and do what needs to be done. Ever heard that luck is when preparation meets opportunity? Opportunity is in the eye of the beholder. My opportunity to see and capture today is different. Every challenge and hardship we face is a learning Opportunity. If that opportunity isn't captured, it's lost forever.

Time kills deals, you've heard that before, right? Time wasted by not capturing opportunity (yes I've used it as a noun),lessens the impact. THEN it diminishes into the deep dark hole of regret. Regrets are the ultimate self destruction. The Shoulda Coulda Woulda----describes the above 16 babbling sentences in a nut-shell. Shoulda done this and I shoulda done that....go ahead sing the country tune--now would be a good time to stay but it's a little too late....
The greatest thing about all of this whole thing is that it's never too late....never too late to give in, never too late to forget the past, never too late to believe in someone you thought was hopeless and never too late to live like it's the last day of your life....yet another country tune to ponder.

True potential

True potential...everyone has it. What have you done with yours?

Going back to the original theme of this whole blog, it's to unleash your talent, whether its in music business, personal crap, whatever....it all has to do with a comfort level you own within yourself.

If we do anything for ourselves entirely, we are sure to fail eventually. However, if we're seeking out how to benefit the world or others from our existence, its only a matter of time for the worlds to collide and offer huge emotional and monetary benefits.

Gen Y SuperTalent

For those of us on a quest for information, the internet is an overwhelming tool, almost too easy to use for all the freebie info we get from it.....so most peeps perceive.  It's a business, too, though.  So, let's get to it, it's late and I really want to write this, but this Blue October song is singing me a lullaby.   There are a zillion people out there that haven't caught on to this whole internet thing.  When they do, it will take em a few years to realize it's a business working seamlessly by people on the "inside"....nearly as mysterious as a headhunter.  but not quite. Who could resist that plug in?  Anyhoo.  Web-preneur's are a totally new thing to the traditional business guy...no reporting structure, what?  No set salary, huh? Who does this guy think he is?  Brilliant, that's what.  Wow, we have figured out THE COOLEST occupation on earth.  By way of the internet, we're able to establish, create and --better yet, EXECUTE our ideas--without anyone's permission, o.k., go-ahead, whatever your term, you know what I'm talking about.  Now, there are experts in our field of service, and we should ALWAYS seek out advice, people like Cameron Johnson--now there's a cool find--betcha his consulting/advice site will be membership based next year, with a fee...:)--gotta love you, Cameron.

Danny Cahill did it with his site, from 10/month to 90.....I paid it, and I love it....AND he's a fantastic speaker, I can learn a lot from him.

So, dare we connect all the work from home, or Spain on the beach worker net-preneurs?  Let's face it, it's nice to meet with other like-minded people, our connections further us as people, but meeting in person does have it's advantages--you may even get a date, set up a loved one from the group and extend the fam...the opps are endless..... But to unveil the mystery? Pierce the completely "un-biased,  no looks, just TALENT" perception we have of web-preneur .

AND, For us to meet in person? YIKES!! Sweet...interesting...facebook, myspace, linkedin----you should start now to catch up.... .

तलेंत इस एवेर्य्व्हेरे.

Sweet, I'm writing, what took me so long? The Hindi translation setting I put on. Funny...I just started on a tangent and it deleted itsself mysteriously.....interesting.

my 6 paragraphs of blabbing is gone....now what? some reading probably...

But, before I do, I've noticed 2 key ingredients in successful people: Discipline & Passion.
In the ULTRA successful though, there are 3, Discipline, Passion & Focus on their true talent...
what's cool about this is that the people I've seen succeed most are the one's that are doing what they love। It doesn't take too much to say "no" to something when the part of your life you're passionate about is staring you in the face and you're making a living from it.

Now's the tricky part, refining a talent.

Our wonderful talents (I'm still refining mine) are what define us as people....capturing in a bottle first, then letting others in on it, and some how supporting our lives is the coolest thing in the world.

Let your "day job" work for you....every other hour, minute or second there is to spend on something else that refines your true talent is getting you closer to who you really want to be every minute of the day.....

I'm getting close, you? Why do I write to you like this, I have no clue...probably because my life is not an open novel where I want everyone knowing my every waking moment or what ideas I have mulling around in my crazy little brain....

this whole blog thing is more about the discipline factor, to see if I can stick with something for more than 6 minutes.....and to help anyone else that's interested in reading random blogs.

hope it works out, but you just never know until you try.....forward thinking....wish me luck.

Internet Junkies

o.k., so everything's on the internet now.  All the Junior Varsity Squad reps are here....you've got your networks, your talent wanna-be's, you search tools to find any and everything imaginable (and a lot that's not)...your businesses, a few "name" places to store it all and 6K groups we're part of to share the two cents--that has seeminly increased in value since the age of blogs and vlogs. Not sure where I'm getting with this, but I'm thinking of the Varsity try-outs. To be present...in person...takes a lot of effort these days....

Holy Crap

people have some very interesting skeletons in the closet. Take a looksie at the accappella songs to the right. Peeps with family and a "real day job" actually are super talented.
so, what's up with people with "real jobs"? just for the dough...interestingly enough i really haven't found anyone ULTRA excited about their day job. Unless of course their working for a JV company--you know, the one with the vision, the dream the still undiscovered, completely uncomplicated, get-to-know-you as a person, type company. Anyone? Junior Varsity...who was a JV cheerleader? Ever completely content being a JV? Hell no--if so--you did one of two things...either dropped out and sold drugs OR you said forget this JV crap, skipped your jr. & sr. year, started an internet company and are banking a few mil right about now and finally going after your true talent. What took you so long?

business talent

I work with these people all day. The hidden deal makers, people that impact a company.It's really interesting when a company loses sight of the value a person makes to them....it's all people, a combination of talent working together to make some dough. So why does it have to be so complicated?

Who says you have to have a set policy? Innovative thinkers that constantly challenge the "policies & procedures" get my vote.Times have changed....."that's just the way it is"...if you hear that line--RUN for your LIFE...but call me first--i'll find you something.

Seen it all in San Antonio

Inspiration never came so easy to me. One look at this and I was hooked. I am a talent finder. Anyone else? Do you see opportunity? Talent? Potential? So, what's next, eh? Yeah, everyone has some sort of talent....what next? Unleash....execute. I think these people that help those unleash talent are called agents....we find, seek out and distribute the talent of others....we get a kick out of it. Its my life....now that I realize my talent is exposing the talents of others is "it"....time to unleash....execute....deliver....just do it, shit or get off the pot...Any takers?
