Play the NEW Game™ Debuts Today 1

“Give Me 30 Minutes, I’ll Give You 30 Years.”
— Mitch Axelrod, host of “Play the NEW Game™”

I’m very excited to announce the debut of…

Play the NEW Game™:
Winning in Business, Money and Life!

Monday through Thursday from 4pm to 4:30pm Eastern

Extended One Hour Debut Monday, March 17

DOWNLOAD TODAY’S CONVERSATION ON MP3 HERE

(Click link to listen or download the mp3)

Special guest is my long time friend Paul Hartunian,
the man who literally sold the Brooklyn Bridge and
millions of dollars of other products and services.

Paul has appeared in the media hundreds of times and
is the author of the gold standard for getting publicity,
“The Million Dollar Publicity Kit.”

Paul is successful in more than business. He is a generous
and quietly philanthropic difference maker. He’s also one
of the most practical and action oriented guys I know.
When it comes to real world value, few people give more
meat (or healthy morsels) per minute than Paul (a vegetarian).

Paul and I will reveal how we changed our games over
the years, and why “adapt-ability” is one of your most
important assets. We’ll talk new thinking, a new game
plan, new plays and what’s working now. I’ll ask him to
share how he created a fabulous life, livelihood and living.

It’s been more than 10 years since Paul and I sat down
one on one. We throw the rule book and the box away.
You don’t want to miss this conversation.

I invite your questions before the conversation.
Email your question to: question@thenewgame.com

Let Us March 3

“In ancient Rome, when Cicero gave an oration, they said
‘What a good speaker he is.’ But when Demosthenes spoke,
they rose as one and said ‘LET US MARCH!’” — Adlai Stevenson

What do the people you serve say about you?

Do they politely applaud and whisper, “Nice speech?”

Or do they rise to their feet and shout, “LET’S MARCH?”

What are you saying about me?

If you’re saying, “Nice speech” I want you to say, “Let’s March!”

If you’re saying, “Let’s March” then let’s march.

The game begins Monday, March 17, 2008 at 4pm eastern U.S. time.

Consistency of communication has not been my strong suit.

It’s not for a lack of something to say.
In the past 30 days, I discovered my gremlin:

I DON’T WANT TO BE AN INTRUSION.
I DON’T WANT TO BE AN UNWELCOME GUEST.

I made it a rule to speak only when I have
something worthwhile to say.

The thing is, every day I discover or uncover something worth sharing.

I hold back because I don’t want to intrude.
I don’t want to be an unwelcome guest.

Holding back cheats you and me.
Do you have the “intrusion” gremlin licked?

Shining a bright light on this gremlin neutralizes his power.

In the past, just the thought of being an unwelcome guest triggered dread in the pit of my stomach and made me want to stay home.

Today, that gremlin has no hold on me.

I have a lot to share and more than a few conversations I want to have with you.

Help me turn my inconsistency into consistency.

Here’s the game plan:

Monday through Thursday
4pm – 4:30pm eastern US time

I host a conversation:

Play the NEW Game™…
Winning in Business, Money and Life!

NEW ways of being, doing and thinking to elevate your game.

* We unleash “NO-Box Thinking”.
* We uncover new solutions to real issues.
* We supply resources and relationships to get you results you want.
* We engage in relevant, meaningful, provocative conversation.
* We invite game changing guests

The game begins Monday, March 17 at 4pm Eastern.

I welcome your encouragement and participation.

Let’s Play the NEW Game™.

30 Years in 30 Days Starts TODAY Comments Off on 30 Years in 30 Days Starts TODAY

WE KICK OFF TODAY WITH TWO CONVERSATIONS.
See details below….

HOW TO MAKE RAIN IN YOUR BUSINESS, NOW!

Download this document for the 4pm session

Audio mp3 download available NOW

I’m going to share 30 years of experience over
the next 30 days.

Let’s LEAP forward this year by traveling back.

To start celebrating my 30th business anniversary,
I will share 30 insights over the next 30 days
across a variety of NEW Games.

Beginning today and continuing through February 29,
each day you will get one game-changing play to read,
listen to, or watch that will elevate your game.

On some days like today, tomorrow February 1 and
Saturday February 2, we’ll also have LIVE phone
conversations you can join and we can speak like
humans.

We’ll share skills, models, tools, approaches,
strategies, tactics, inspiration, ways of being,
doing and thinking that have served and profited
me and more than a million people in 30 countries.

On some days like today, you get both LIVE and
“Memorex” (aka, digital for the under 30 crowd).

It’s Not JUST Business…. It’s Personal™!

When I first coined this phrase back in the
20th century, businesses still played by the
old game rules…

“It’s nothing personal, it’s just business.”

NEW Game businesses have put this old game
mantra out to pasture. They know,

It’s Not JUST Business…. It’s Personal™!

Why am I doing “30 years in 30 days?”

First, because business is personal to me.
I’ve always taken my business personally.
I’m sure it’s that way for you, too.

Generosity is one of life’s golden values.
I love to give as much REAL value as possible.
Sharing feels good. It’s also good business.

Second, I want you to discover the depth and
breadth of value we have that can improve the
quality of your life and the quantity of your
results. I am very proud of the positive
difference we have contributed to the people
we serve.

Third, my 30th anniversary collection. I am
assembling a lifetime collection we will be
making available. Your experience will help
us make it as player-friendly it can be.

What better way for you to know with absolute
certainty that this collection is worth having
than to experience it in real time? All the hot
marketing pieces, sales copy and testimonials
we can muster will not be as compelling as
you getting 30 real exposures and experiences.

Fourth, I want you to share these nuggets with
others. I ask that you invite friends to receive
this 30-day experience. This expands our ability
to impact more people.

I invite you to send your friends, family and
colleagues to jump into this game.

They can sign up at our VIP page here and get 6 powerful NEW Game audio interviews.

The NEW Game – The Playbook 1

Most years I write a birthday message to express my gratitude
for making another turn around the sun.

This year, I decided to complete the list of 121 plays for…

The NEW Game: The Playbook
121 Game Changing Plays to Win in Business, Money and Life!

With a few exceptions, everything in The NEW Game Playbook
is original. The 121 Play list is a game plan unto itself.

In 2008, we will publish the book with your help, comments and stories.

You can download both versions:

Alphabetical list of all 121 NEW Game Plays

Category list of all 121 NEW Game Plays

I suggest you do 3 things to create your personalized game plan:

1 – Print the category “Play List” and highlight the plays you’re using now.

2 – In a different color, highlight those you are not using and want to use.

3 – Write down a list of plays you want to integrate into your business,
money and life.

Voila!

You’ve created a personalized business, money and life game plan.

Download both versions and create your NEW Game Plan today.

I’d love to know what’s working for you now.

Labor of Love Comments Off on Labor of Love

If you asked me to describe success at work, I’d pick three words:

Labor of Love!

I recently heard Deepak Chopra site a Gallup poll that Nigeria is the #1 country in the world on the “happiness” scale. Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cuba are near the top.

In happiness, Americans are 16th out of 25 countries surveyed.
In health, Americans are 37th in the world.

How is it that so many of us who live in the “wealthiest” country in the history of humankind are unhappy and unhealthy?

These two quiet epidemics are serious business.

And because what happens in America rumbles through the world like rolling thunder, our challenge is your challenge, wherever on this spinning orb you are reading this.

Is it possible that health and happiness can be inversely related to wealth?

How is it that most of the “happy” people live in countries with lower incomes and standards of living?

Is it possible the cost to win the money game is to sacrifice health and happiness?

America’s “worker satisfaction” numbers say so. An estimated 70% of employed people say they want to leave their jobs. They are:

* Not fulfilled nor challenged.
* Not doing what they like.
* Not earning what they think they are worth.

They are not willing to scale back consumption or downsize their lifestyle to do work that would be more enjoyable but might pay less.

They feel stuck.

This conflict causes major stress. Stress breaks down mind and body, and weakens the immune system. A weakened immune system leads to illness and disease [“dis-ease”].

I am sad when I see someone trudge through life like it’s a sentence to be endured rather than a journey to be enjoyed.

If you live in a modern country with the opportunity to work and improve your lot in life, you are fortunate indeed. If you are doing work you don’t like, you have the free will to choose something different.

There may be a trade off.

You may have to go backwards or sideways to do something you like.

Life is not a straight line.

Success is living the experience and enjoying the journey more than simply reaching the destination.

A GOAL is just another port of call.

Your ROLE deserves more of your attention.

How to direct your energy (attention) and invest your life force (time) are the most important choices you make every day.

Choose wisely.

Make today a labor of love.

Four Most Powerful Words Comments Off on Four Most Powerful Words

The Most Potent Marketing Message You Can Send!

I don’t know how you feel, but I have never been very comfortable with self-promotion.

I find a bit off putting when I hear people boast about how much money they make, drop names of people they know, or pretend they are humble when they really want you to know how successful and important they are.

I am constantly reminded what Golda Meir, the late Prime Minister of Israel said….

“Don’t be so humble. You’re not that good.”

I play for the love of the game.
I play to elevate my game and your game.

Although the things I mention above are not important to me, they do matter to people in the marketplace.

*******************************************************
“If you want to sell Sally Smith what Sally Smith buys,
you have to see Sally Smith through Sally Smith’s eyes.”
*******************************************************

Sally Smith wants to know WHAT you know.

She wants to know WHO you know.

Most important, she wants to know
WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR HER?

And she’s wondering….

WHO ELSE HAVE YOU DONE IT FOR?

The FOUR MOST POWERFUL WORDS you can use to get the attention of people who can buy what you sell are….

“MY CLIENTS TELL ME…!”

What your clients tell you is the essence of your USA, your Unique Service Advantage ™.

Your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) may be important to you, but it’s your USA that matters to your audience. Your USP may not convey what you really do for people.

Your USA Is More Valuable Than Your USP!

Customers decide your USA, and language it in their words.

*********************************************
YOUR CLIENTS’ WORDS ARE YOUR
MOST POTENT MARKETING MESSAGES!
*********************************************

I am guilty of not sharing what our clients tell us.

I am been busy GIVING value, and complacent at CONVEYING the value I bring to the people I serve.

I know I’m not alone.
Maybe you have a little of that going on for you, too.

On Monday, August 13, I’ll share…

THE BILLION-Dollar Question™ to top all billion dollar questions, the ONE QUESTION that will uncover your most potent marketing message.

Here’s how Fran Tarkenton answered this question….

************************************************
“Mitch is the best person I know in the world to talk
about winning the new game of business. His down to
earth approach makes so much common sense. His
marketing, sales and service tips are pure gold.
Do what he teaches and your business will soar.”
