********************************************

How often do people tell you how wonderful you are
and how much you mean to them?

I’m guessing not enough.

Even those who love you probably could tell you more
often how much you mean to them.

Why is it that we often wait until it’s too late or after
someone is gone to say how we feel and how much
he or she means to us?

So I got to thinking about what my birthday means and
why is it special. It’s day to celebrate, a day I don’t
feel selfish or guilty about being acknowledged.

Growing up the youngest of eight I shunned attention.
I felt it separated me from my brothers and sisters.

It was important for me to be included. Being part of
the team was a prime directive of this youngest child.
Although I was independent and marched to the beat of
my own drummer, I wanted to be part of the team.

In the pecking order the youngest was seen, not heard.
I had nothing to say until everyone else was done. Even
then I didn’t know if what I thought or said mattered.

How would your birthday be different if the dozens of
friends who wished you “Happy Birthday” on Facebook
expressed how they feel and what you mean to them?

What if your birthday was a total celebration of you?

Imagine reading over and over again the wonderful
sentiments and meaning you infuse into people’s lives?

What if celebrating your life became a daily ritual?

My guess is it would transform you and everyone who
played the game of life with you.

So I have a birthday gift for you and request from you.

Gift: Conversation… Let’s TAWK!

Friday, December 2 at 3pm eastern a special birthday Podcast:

Dial: 270-400-1500
Access: 12254#

Playing Field: Life!
Playbook: Livelihood!
Plays: Lifestyle and Legacy!

Let’s talk about what really matters.

Healthy, meaningful, thoughtful conversation is a gift
that enriches everyone who engages in it.

Request: Birthday

It’s heart warming to read dozens of happy birthdays.
It’s life changing to discover what you mean to people.

If you’re inclined, feel free to say a little something
about what I mean to you. I’m not fishing for compliments.
Express what’s in your heart.

You can email.

You can say hi on Facebook.

You can comment here on the Blog.

I encourage you to make the same request on your birthday.
Wouldn’t it be great to know what you mean to people?

How amazing would it be to read how valuable, precious and
irreplaceable you really are?

Imagine all that life affirming energy at your fingertips
any time you feel low down, less than or unloved?

Invite people to express what you mean to them.
Ask them to share what they like or love most about you.
Tell those you love and care about what they mean to you.

Let me know how it goes.

So let’s TAWK… Friday December 2 at 3 pm eastern, Noon pacific.

Dial: 270-400-1500
Access: 12254#

You’re a player.
You CAN change the game.

I’ll meet you on the field Friday at 3 pm eastern.

Through all the ups and downs, happiness and sadness,
joy and pain, celebration and heartbreak, success and
setback, the 65,000 hours I have invested in serving
others have been a labor of love.

I’m grateful to travel the path with you.

I look forward to continuing the journey for another
31 years.

Thank you.
Bless you.

Happy Halloween!

What’s your challenge?

Mine is to finish the book,

The NEW Game Playbook…

Join me – we’ll support each other.

Gary assembled phenomenal content.
He’s also orchestrated a marketing masterpiece.

Even if you’re not interested in the challenge, watch
Gary’s video, download his “Big Bang” manifesto and
see how and why 19,000 people play this game.

You’ll get real value watching the 100-Day Challenge

He is one of the world’s greatest boogie piano players.

Clay played for icons from Janis Joplin to Jimi
Hendrix, from BB King to the real King, Elvis.
He was piano man for Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry,
Grace Slick, Jim Morrison, Muddy Waters, Tina
Turner and scores of others, a “Who’s Who” of
music lore.

When you talk to Clay on the phone, his spirit
shines through. He is soulful, full of life. He
cherishes today and relishes what tomorrow brings.

You would never know Clay is a virtual quadriplegic.

MS struck in 1997, and today Clay has use only of
his brilliant mind, sight, hearing, taste, smell, speech,
and one finger he uses to type.

He has a great sense humor. He calls himself:
“The Quad Blogger!” As Clay puts it,

“Multiple Sclerosis: If you don’t have a sense of
humor, it isn’t very funny.”

The love of Clay’s life, his wife and caretaker
Kimberly has an advanced liver condition.

They are in jeopardy of losing their home.
They are wonderful people who belong together.
Their friends want to see them stay in their home.

Clay and Kimberly can use some help.

30 Years, 30 Lessons, 30 Nuggets of Wisdom Comments Off on 30 Years, 30 Lessons, 30 Nuggets of Wisdom

Please join us to celebrate my past 30 years
in business on the first day of the next 30 for
“30 Lessons in 30 Years”

Saturday, November 1 from 11am – 1pm eastern
Phone: 712-580-1100 — Passcode: 12288#

PLAYER FOR LIFE

I became “psychologically unemployable” 30 years ago today.

Over the past 10,958 days I have started or been a partner
in more than 20 businesses, a few great successes, many
dismal busts, all priceless learning.

My mantra has always been:

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE.
I SUCCEED OR I LEARN!

This mantra has enabled me to rebound from great
personal loss and professional setback. I encourage
you to eliminate “failure” from your vocabulary.

This reframe of failure mantra is posted in homes,
offices and school classrooms around the world.
Display it somewhere you can see it every day.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE.
I SUCCEED OR I LEARN!

Please join me Saturday November 1 at 11am Eastern
for a conversation about 30 life lessons and nuggets of
wisdom I have learned from 30 years in business.

I will share the good, bad, and ugly, the turning
points, mistakes made, lessons learned, wisdom
gained from 10,958 consecutive days self-employed.

We’ll talk business, values, $ and life.

We’ll go inside a few of the biggest and best deals,
and how I did them. I’ll share the MEGA lesson I
learned from LOSING $3.4 MILLION in two years,
crashing from a net worth of $1.2 million in 1988
to negative $2.2 million 24 months later.

I’ll tell you how I built my intellectual property into
a multi-million dollar asset using 100% OPM — that is,
100% Other People’s $ — and how you can do the same.

I’ll tell you about the horses in my stable, and how you
can ride one or more of them into the winner’$ circle.

I’ll reveal more about all the valuable assets inside
Player for Life, and how we can Partner for Life.

You can grab all the 30th anniversary gifts at
PLAYER FOR LIFE

what’s yet to come.

Here’s one of the 30 lessons / nuggets. Ask yourself,

“How can I be 15% richer in every area of my life?”

Not 50%, 100%, or 500%.
Just 15% richer.

If you can be 15% richer every year, you double your
wealth every 5 years.

*** A Special Invitation to Become 15% Richer ***

Geico insurance commercial asks a simple, but powerful
game-changing question that has made them a fortune:

“Can a 15 minute call save you 15% on car insurance?”

I take the liberty of riffing off their genius:

“Can a 15 minute call with Mitch make me 15% richer?”

If your answer is maybe, and you would value a 15 minute
“2nd Opinion” to discuss getting what you want, then…

BECOME A PLAYER FOR LIFE BY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 and

You and I will meet by phone for 15 minutes to see
how you can be at least 15% richer.

If you jump in as a PLAYER FOR LIFE this weekend,
I’ll jump into the deep water with you one on one.

If you already know that having forever access to my
million $ intellectual property library filled with
training, coaching, life and business skills for…

YOU and a 2nd PERSON under 25 is worth $500 (50% off
for being one of the 100 Founding Players) then…

The High Cost of NO Trust Comments Off on The High Cost of NO Trust

For 30 years, I have used this three-step formula to be the service provider of choice:

1 – Add (real) value in advance
2 – Become the trusted advisor
3 – Provide the adequate solution

People can’t take “perceived” value to the bank.
They won’t stay in a long-term relationship absent trust.
Nobody knows what the “best” solution is.

Violate these, and you create a believe-ability gap.

Perceived value makes people wonder, “where’s the beef?”
Lack of trust generates suspicion.
Claiming you have the best causes people to think, “prove it!”

If any of these are present, it’s likely game over before game starts.

According to Stephen M.R. Covey, trust is not just a soft, nice to have virtue; it’s a hard-edged economic driver. Because we’re so interdependent and there’s so much noise and clutter…

Trust is the first currency of entrepreneurs.

Trust is like health — it’s neglected and taken for granted until it’s lost.
It’s a combination of character, competence and credibility.

Here’s the state of trust according to Covey:

* 34% of Americans trust others (68% in Scandinavia)
* 49% of employees trust their senior leaders
* 76% of employees see illegal or unethical action at work
* 43% to 75% of students have cheated to get into grad school

High trust organizations outperform low trust ones by 286%.
Among the best 100 companies to work for, trust is 60%-75% of the equation.

High trust is a dividend.
Low trust is a tax.

Only 10% of us trust Congress to do what’s best for us.
Yet, we re-elect incumbents 95% of the time.

It’s no wonder we pay such a heavy leadership “tax.”

Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust.

Warren Buffett did a $29 billion deal with Walmart in 29 days based on a handshake alone, with no due diligence, after only a 2-hour meeting. Buffet gets enormous amounts done with trust. His CEOs stay on because they like being trusted by him.

My dear friend Dave Corbin, executive producer and star of the movie “Pass It On” calls me the “Mentor to the Masters” because a “Who’s Who” of experts call me for advice.

Nothing has been more instrumental in my life and my work than the high value of high trust.

When you act in the best interests of others, you inspire trust.
When you act only in your best interest, you compromise trust.

Do what’s “highest and best for all” and you become THE trusted advisor.

People like being trusted, and they crave trust in others.

Do you trust easily and readily, and inspire trust in others?
Or are you suspicious of others, and are they suspicious of you?

One of the best ways to build trust is to stop making withdrawals from the “trust” accounts you maintain with others.

The people you serve are overloaded with hype and overblown promises.
Trust sets you apart from the hypesters and hucksters.

Nothing creates confidence more quickly or effectively than the transfer of trust.

How can you create a trust dividend instead of paying trust tax?

We hear that our current financial mess is a credit crisis.

It’s more a crisis of confidence, values and trust.

We are paying a huge tax for placing confidence, value and trust in those who haven’t earned it and don’t have our best interests at heart.

How can you convert trust from a tax into a dividend?

Value your intuition.
Be better at due diligence.
Don’t be persuaded by false, fabricated or manufactured influence.

Listen to my interview with Dr. Robert Cialdini,

“How to Be a More Savvy Buyer and a Business Sleuth.”

Read my white paper, “Real Influence is S.C.A.R.C.E.”

Follow the three-step formula to be the service provider of choice:

1 – Add (real) value in advance
2 – Become the trusted advisor
3 – Provide the adequate solution

Heed the advice of Jim Burke, former CEO of J&J:

“I have found that by trusting people until they prove themselves unworthy of that trust, a lot more happens.”

Be the TRUST you want to see in the world.

You’re a player.
Trust can change the game.

Are You Choosing the Evil of Two Lessers? Comments Off on Are You Choosing the Evil of Two Lessers?

“With a place to stand I can move the Earth.”
Archimedes

On November 2, 2004 before leaving my house to vote,
I wrote this Blog post to express my feelings about
the choice for president…

“The Evil of Two Lessers!”

“The Evil of Two Lessers” is a rigged, LOSE-LOSE game.
Even if you win, you lose.

Are you choosing between the “Evil of Two Lessers?”

If you want to win, don’t box yourself into the
evil of two lessers. Change the game.

Choose a third, greater and better option.

This is true for every decision in life.

Without a viable third option, we are stuck
choosing the evil of two lessers.

This is especially true in politics.
Politics is a two dimensional game in a 3D world.

The two lessers rig the game to prevent a third
choice from winning.

That enables them to continue to be “lesser”
and not be greater.

We deserve greater.
We deserve better.

We need the “greater of two betters” not the
evil of two lessers.

If you want the “greater of two betters”
create a new, third option.

Every situation has the possibility of
a third option. You won’t likely find
highest and best inside or outside the box.

It might require “NO Box” thinking.

Einstein declared, “We can’t solve problems
with the same thinking that created them.”

Throw the box away.

Archimedes asserted,
“With a place to stand I can move the Earth.”

Where can you stand to move the Earth?

A third choice is the lever that changes the
game from the “evil of two lessers” to the
“highest and best.”

Are you choosing the highest and best?

Where you stand, can you see the greater of
two betters?

If not, MOVE!

Move your mind from the evil of two lessers game
to the higher and better game of third choices.

Making a decision can create a lot of stress if
you feel stuck between the evil of two lessers.

You’re not stuck.
You can throw the box away.
You can choose a different place to stand.

In 1998, I wrote a 10-part course called,

“10 Tips to Make Good Decisions Without Stressing Out!”

It helped me transcend the evil of two lesser choices.
