Gratuitous Fun Fridays
We need a thread for gratuitous fun: Stuff that has nothing to do with marketing, business, copy, daily emails... but that is fun for fun's sake. (Even a little bit of fun is better than none.) I'd like to kick things off with the attached (and real, not AI) photo of a beaver, which I put in an email a long time ago, apropos of nothing. If you have jokes, funny pictures, memes, ideas for "disconnected infotainment," put 'em in here. On Fridays... or really on any other days.

@Caroline Shine Getting a fresh start with D'Souza is way better than dragging along those pesky professional hangups we all suffer from. Curiosity and eagerness is a hell of a combo. I'd love to hear about how his class was.🙏

@John Bejakovic Unscrews lids? I'm thinking, boyfriend replacement.
High percentage of failures
I recently rewatched an old movie called Seconds. Uncomfortable, but also very interesting. I won't give away the plot here, in case you ever want to go see it yourself. I'll just share a quote I wrote down, because it was relevant to what we all do: "You know son, when I began this business, I was a young man with an idea. I wasn't aiming to make a lot of money. Helping others, help them to find a little happiness. Oh heck, not just the rich. You see, I got tremendous comfort in the thought that in my small way I was waging a battle against human misery. And I was, too! Except we do have a high percentage of failures. I guess that's to be expected, but it hurts me." If you are in the information selling business... I reckon you got into it at least in part to wage a battle against human misery, in your own small way. I also reckon that you have a high percentage of failures. Regardless of how good your information is. Regardless of how accessible you try to make it. Regardless of how hard you try to motivate people. People just don't get the results that you know are possible, or any results at all. Does this hurt you? Do you just shrug it off and say, "That's to be expected"? I'm curious about your experiences, what you think about this, and what if anything you do about it. Let me know. And if you like I can share what my experiences are and what I think and do.

@John Bejakovic I agree with all you guys. But maybe you helped more people than you know. Maybe this will help. I've taken courses that I didn't finish. But the amount of studying I did do, combined with related unfinished courses, and my own work and life experiences has all added up to this cumulative knowledge and insight I simply would not have without my messy inclinations and unfinished courses. If that makes sense. It seems, you subconsciously pick out the pieces and parts of something you can use to solve the current pressing problem and you focus on that, and in solving that, your real world and knowledge expands and no, maybe you didn't click every button in a course that says lesson complete, next, or whatever but you still got something out of it. And you might not realize it, until you hear the thing you learned coming out of your mouth and you think, wow, where the hell did that come from? We move on and use this stuff without realizing it. It's just at some point, our subconscious labeled it as important and we internalized it, and don't really know who to thank for it. We're all just a combination of every teacher, friend, loved one, pets, travels, studies, etc. we've come across. You know how some people say they are self taught? C'mon. At some point, we've all read an article or a book, or watched a video, took part of a course, or whatever, and we keep sampling here and there till something clicks and puts it all together and BAM, you suddenly know your mission. We just keep trying different things until something clicks. As for me I have had a few mentors I can thank, but there's many more I don't even remember, that collectively had their input, and made a difference in my journey. And I'm here to thank you all, for the people you did help, but maybe neither of you realize it. It's not a waste guys. If it were, I don't think you would've had the drive to complete it. Because you knew someone needed it. And that's something to feel good about yourself for. Not everyone accomplishes that.
