So early this morning I was awakened by the sound of helicopters flying over my house. No the black ops type but news helicopters. Martha Stewart was moving in up the hill from me. This evening I got an e-mail newsletter I subscribe to from Paul Montelongo’s Contractor of Choice web site called Lessons From Martha The fact that it started off saying:
“Dear Colleague,
Perhaps you noticed, as I did that Martha Stewart got out of jail yesterday….”
I of course found that funny because of course I noticed. How could I possibly miss it. But the article I thought was full of some really good business advice. Paul Montelongo: Lessons From Martha
Any thoughts on the lessons in there?

Since you asked.
Im wondering if you "do" this all the time . I mean , does this type of stuff drive you?
The main thought was while I was reading it was about the book, " how to stop worring and start living". Dale Carnegie. That book was instrumental in my life at one time. It "never " gets mentioned here !
Of course the lesson is not about what the book has to offer , but I guess you took it as a pointer to marketing.
Another thought was my retired realator broker who just got old, but never lost her phiss , crackle, pop. When I first met her , I said she was full of shid and an air head. How could anyone use her and be serious. I was wrong , dead wrong. She became the owner of the most successful RE company in town. She had twice the number of sales people working for her of any other agency. I went to her retirement party as a special guest that spoke about her. Several of her agents cried when she made her last pep talk that night to her staff. It was gripping to say the least . My thoughts of her wasnt of super woman. In stead she was , honest above all, a heart of gold , a top notch citizen, and last but not least , she knew no negatives. Those qualities made people follow her and she sold properties to millionares. People trusted her and were not disapointed in their decision to my knowledge of workiong with her for the 12 years we were hooked up. Thats the only thing she ever asked was that I be loyal to her and she answered with the same. She beleived anything was possible and would not hear negatives. She called talking about negatives a negative waste of time and besides being mind damaging.

Huh? I'm not sure what your asking.

Ya know back on monday I had this mason I was talking to say to me something about what he learned from Dale Carnegie and I had to confess to him for all the reading I do I have never read any Dale Carnegie although I often see him quoted in what I do read. Maybe after I get through this month I'll read something of his.

...the book, " how to stop worring and start living". Dale Carnegie.
Is that the book with a chapter on worry and John D Rockerfeller how at one time he was down to a sleleton of skin and bones living by sipping milk?
If so, that chapter really impressed me. Worth rereading a few times.
The final splash of SanchoRon receded from shore and returned to sea.Now but a passing memory to some, the fallen comrade to friends, and an unknown for those to come.The death merchants united dealt the blow to what aim?
I dont remember Rez , its been a long time since I read and studied it.
"Im wondering if you "do" this all the time . I mean , does this type of stuff drive you? "
Point being , your mind works on personal improvement a lot.
Try some of Donald Trumps books..you may or may not like him but he has a lot to offer in that area.

a...The secret of Zen in two words is, "Not always so"!
When we meet, we say, Namaste'..it means..
I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides,
I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace.
I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.
I freaking love Martha ...
ok .. not as "Martha" ... but ... gotta love her ... uh ... spunk?
as soon as she was walked into jail ... I said ... time to buy her stock ...
she's gonna turn this around and make millions.
Just some people ... U can tell ... try to piss them off and they end up making the most out of it .. and in her case ... probably millions.
I love that lady. Pure business ... pure marketing ... 100% of the time.
Most would sit there with a jail cell fulla lemons ...

Jeff did you buy her stock?
DW walked in the office right before I read this thread and told me she was pissed. She went on to tell me she had intended to buy Marthas stock when it went down when she went to prison. She told me its way up today which was yesterday when she walked. She was watching somthing on TV about it.
