In either case – make sure you TAKE the PINK BAT TEST below.
Make it your mission to SEEK – FIND – CHECK – and FULLY EXPRESS your AWARENESS and ATTITUDE DNA for proper mission control. Even if that means to let go of that mission.
STEP 1: Get into SEEK and you shall FINDmode
STEP 2: Check your AWARENESS level
STEP 3:Check your PINK BAT GENE – is it switched on and expressing PINK BAT THINKING?
Relax – step 3 – the PINK BAT TEST – can be enjoyed with popcorn:
“People asking questions… lost in confusion… well, I tell them there’s no problem… only solutions…”
“”You can live each day in a world filled with “problems”, or rise each morning and embrace a world filled with unseen solutions… Pink bats… eager for you to find them. The decision is yours… both worlds exist. The one you choose is the one you will create.”” Michael McMillan who inspired this post.
Be forewarned: each one of Randy’s lectures is longer than 5 minutes – as university lectures usually are, of course.
BUT I trust that – with good time management (Randy Pausch can help you with that) – and a Tigger-like dose of curiosity – you too can manage to have Randy make your world stop and to make you pay attention.
HOWEVER – I’d hate to lose you because you don’t have much time to spend here at the moment – so I present to you the short version of Randy’s Last Lecture – as seen on Oprah:
For me – as
- a mom
- a baby boomer
- an ex-university lab rat (I have a Tigger-sized L.O.V.E. for learning and research)
- a marketer
- an entrepreneur
- and – especially – as a human being – a human being well acquainted with brick walls
- my time – spent drawing strength and inspiration from Randy and his lectures – (add to that the most natural and enjoyable, yet compelling way of Randy teaching me HOW to really have fun and WHY)- was well spent.
For me – making the time to allow Randy into my world – via his lectures and also his book – was an excellent investment of my time with an even more excellent return
- an investment in me
- an investment in my business
- an investment in my life - present and future
- something I hope you can also consider investing in by listening to Randy’s lectures – namely investing in you – and investing in your life – present and future.
Without further ado – HERE’S the incomparable RANDY PAUSCH – taking the art and lifestyle of imageneering and really achieving your childhood dreams – how to live your life – to new levels.
Listen up – invite your friends – laugh and cry – as Randy tells you and shows you that
- “brick walls are there for a reason”
- “the overall goal in life is fun – and – to enable others to have fun”.
“President Cohen, when I told him I was going to do this talk, he said, please tell them about having fun, because that’s what I remember you for. And I said, I can do that, but it’s kind of like a fish talking about the importance of water.
- I mean I don’t know how to not have fun.
- I’m dying and I’m having fun.
- And I’m going to keep having fun every day I have left.
- Because there’s no other way to play it.
So my next piece of advice is, you just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. [shows slide with an image of Tigger and Eeyore with the phrase "Decide if you're Tigger or Eeyore"] I think I’m clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. [laughter]
Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.
Help others.“
Wrapping it up:
***THANK YOU, MY FRIEND***
for spending some of your most valuable commodity – your time – with Randy Pausch!
And with me as well!
Allow me to leave you with a couple of questions:
- Where do you stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate?
- How is your childlike wonder progressing?
- What will people most remember you for – is having fun on that list?
— — —
May you have yourself a jolly Tigger day more often than not!
WELCOME to MY REVIEW of the THE TRIBE called thatMLMbeat
- a MODERN DAY BARN RAISING COMMUNITY
FOR MODERN DAY MARKETERS
or – in techie speak
- a BLOG CONTENT SYNDICATION SITE
“where network marketers blog”.
When I took my first tour of thatMLMbeat community – I was immediately reminded of the Amish who know a thing or two about community and barn raising – and who put that knowledge to good use – faithfully and systematically.
- Barn raising is a social event.
- It’s about people getting together to GET THE JOB DONE – and to HAVE A GOOD FUN TIME.
- SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING is – you guessed it – a SOCIAL event.
TURNING THE LONE RANGER MARKETER INTO A ROCK STAR MARKETER
DOING IT — CRUSHING IT — BURNING UP THE QUARTER MILE
George Fourie- all around nice guy and the creator ofthatMLMbeat – may not be Amish – but I see him as a barn raiser and blog syndicator par excellence.
- A SOCIAL event in which members of a community assist in the building of a new barn.
-A colonial American building practice in which as many as one hundred people from neighboring farms would volunteer to help a family construct the frame and rafters of their barn in a single day, using pre-cut lumber. The event had practical significance, in that every new farm bolstered the prosperity of the frontier, yet it also became a social celebration that strengthened families’ bonds with the community; women prepared food and men held competitions of speed and strength. Barn raisings were also held to rebuild barns after fires or other disasters. Occasionally still held in the Midwest and other rural areas, they are a cherished tradition among the Amish. Pasted from <http://www.answers.com/topic/barn-raising>
It’s a *Thriller*with a happy ending for me to participate in barn raising here at thatMLMbeat by using skills I learned from my friend, partner, and mentor – the empowered and prosperous Mr. Jonathan Budd.
Jonathan’s and Monika’s *ROCK STAR – MIGHTY MOUSE* STYLE MARKETING GAME
featuring WHAT WORKS NOW
INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS – TECHNOLOGY – TRAINING – available here:
(introduction by Katie Freiling)
I suppose now is a good time to consider some illuminating
- To do good, to work hard, to share and to have fun is a *Thriller* with a happy ending. Michael Jackson invariably pops into my mind.
- It’s all about you and me raising our barnstogether – for our family – our community – our world.
- Our children and grandchildren deserve to inherit a world where they also can have opportunitiesto raise their barns, do good, work hard, share and have tons of fun.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Thomas A. Edison
To me – an opportunity can have an enormous potential. Barn raisers get off the couch – put on their overalls – and systematically do all the work that needs to be done to make the opportunity come alive – to produce the desired results.

Burning up the quarter mile:
MONIKA’S CONCLUSION
No matter how I look at it… the lone ranger marketer can benefit from acquiringand diligently working with a good support system.
I hope you saw here the value of a system… a system like… for example:

The marketing of yourself and your URL can lead to great, even amazing results… when you have a system and know how to use it.
