Fantastic clarity and value! Just starting out with my (book) launch, great timing too :-] Thanks a bunch.

Re: How to Use Social Media Insights to Improve Your Marketing

Beat Schindler — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 10:53:55 -0000

Hi Katie, thanks for this concise yet complete post on social analytics. Just what the doctor ordered for one like me. Just in the process of looking for the Minimum Effective Dose (as Tim Ferris calls it) of social media tracking, your post is a dream come true. I haven't read it all, yet - yes, been skimming - but will come back to it again in the days and weeks ahead. Great reference material, great value - thanks twice a thousand times :-]

Re: How to Build a Periscope Audience for Your Business

Hi Brian ... thanks for the heads-up and very useful summary. Haven't used Periscope, haven't even heard about it so far. It sounds good, after reading your post I'll give it a try.

Re: What Makes a Great Life and Career Mentor?

Do you really choose the music you listen to with a 10-point checklist? Do you really figure out whether you like the wine you just drank by reading the label on the bottle? Nothing wrong with checklists, but if you answered no twice, why not choose, of all things, your life coach also, mostly, by whether you like her or him?

Re: The Abundant Life Is Not Meant For You

Beat Schindler — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:01:58 -0000

You're so right - life is made in the moments of our decision about these kinds of choices. Some choose to not see life as abundant, or happiness as an option, 'simply' because they don't feel worthy - they don't feel they deserve it. As Scott Peck (Road Less Traveled) puts it, life is difficult - until you get it and transcend it. Then it ceases to be difficult. How to explain this to people who choose the highway most traveled - that's the question ... lol.

Absolutely, unconditionally agree. One of those times when I realize we learn when young, but to understand takes a while. Talking for myself only, mind you.

Corinne, thank you my friend. Yours is a most unique and precious comment. I will treasure it forever. It adds fuel to my motivation.

Michelle, you won't be disappointed. There will be plenty of available seats, too. The blockbuster movie audience is enjoying car chases, sex scenes, killings and explosions next door. In fact, there isn't even much of a movie in "The Way" movie. Kind of like the boring family vacation movies you hoped to avoid - only done better ... lol ... The acting is great throughout. It helps the Canadian actress is gor.geo.ous, I might add, being a guy :-]

Re: Six Ways To Free Health Care

Hi Rich, good to see your arm-pumping self again! Yes, by all means, invite some deep breathing into your unnumbered days - it keeps the numbered ones at bay :-]

Glad you discovered juicing. It's done wonders for me, literally. Hope it'll do the same for you. For the rest, people who are constantly healthy are a bit like airlines who never had a plane-crash [I think only Qantas has that 'claim']. They are aware and thoroughly happy and grateful - but keep quiet about it, knowing it can change in a hurry. Keep juicing ... and fighting :-]

You CAN set and re-set your 'set point' for happiness - easily. First, by changing your meaning of happiness. Do you want to be happy, or are you happy being unhappy? Second, by defining what would have to happen for you to be happy. (PS. there's a reason we refer to our mind as a mind set sometimes :-) There's more on happiness, and how to get there, at leapofactiondotcom

When I first learned the English language, I came across "Don't suffer fools easily". I thought that was funny. Now I don't suffer destructive crowds easily - and it doesn't even sound funny :-]

Beat Schindler — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:06:40 -0000

Thanks for the "funny" flowers :-] For the rest, we agree, wars against whatever are forever fought, never won. Occasionally, fortunately, an exception comes along to confirm the truth in "no rule without exception".

Debbie, my thoughts exactly. And, the animal most difficult to domesticate ... sometimes is the animal within :-] Getting better than the people we criticize is harder than accusing them of being worse than us.

Re: We All Want to Change the World

You're right, anger-frustration-resentment can morph into something destructive or constructive. The jury's out on whether the differentiation comes from mass, or maturity, or some kind of miracle. Whatever it may be, when people get successful, their minds seem to link success to whatever motivated them in the first place. Angry peoples' minds will link success to anger - the more success they get, the angrier they get. Understanding peoples' minds will link success to reason. The more success they get, the wiser they get. It's not about good or bad people - just how the mind works. Of course, people come in many more shades than in anger and understanding. It's just another way of saying the motivation people have for creating success is as vital as the seedling under the ground is for the visible part of the plant above the ground.

Thanks Corinne for your always enthusiastic support! Miracle - a most fitting pre-fix to your name - because you are :-]

Nicole, the somebody you surprised today thinks your signing up to his insiders list is a most welcome surprise. From the point of view of what you want your blog to be, the smart[est] decision you could have made all day. From the viewpoint of my delivering on the insider promise, a message to get my act together and to start shipping ...

Re: An Epiphany On Epiphanies

Beat Schindler — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:56:59 -0000

David, maybe "aha" moments and epiphanies are the same thing - a sudden realization of truth. Who gets them is lucky ... but that's an altogether different aha moment by itself. They happen in a many different ways. I completely agree with you. Each of us is truly unique - just like everybody else :-]

Re: An Epiphany On Epiphanies

Beat Schindler — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 10:18:06 -0000

Thanks for your feedback Raymond. An epiphany isn't an easy thing to describe - well, some do better than others. Thanks for hanging in there and reading mine twice ... and take the time to let me know. Precious :-]

Joel, you’re so right. Sometimes you stop, other times you’re made to stop. The background for my not taking things for granted, in this particular case … The South of the U.S. – where I live – being the ‘Bible Belt’, it’s not uncommon to meet folks, even crowds, who know God’s hat size, knee cap and fav color. I wondered why them, not me … epiphany! :-]

Re: An Epiphany On Epiphanies

Beat Schindler — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:27:25 -0000

Debbie, we all go by faith, don't we? No-one has any idea, for example, what tomorrow is made of. Being human, we’re doomed to operate by faith. There’s no alternative, lest we consider insanity. But being human we’re free to choose what or who to have faith in, and how much. Some choose to place their faith in Bernie Madoff … Don’t you just kind of feel sorry for them?

Type your reply...Thanks for your comments and encouragements, Corinne. Infinite intelligence … we just know a book is not the result of an explosion in a print factory, we know that when Nature needs a miracle, she creates a genius to make it happen, but that’s about as far as our finite minds will carry us. Reminds me of a wise person’s advice
… Follow the seekers of truth, but avoid those who claim to have found it.
