Persistence is a boring but necessary virtue. You might not think anything is changing in your career life or love life, but if you are persistent you will eventually see change. Remember! True failure only happens when you abandon your quest. Keep on questing!

Living in the past is like driving forward while staring in the rear view mirror.     Believing is seeing.     Be an over-fright success story.     One's actions convince louder than one's words.     Make progress. Make new mistakes.     All work and no play makes Jill want to reach for the Prozac.     The purpose of your life is to find the purpose of your life. It doesn't matter how fast you get there if you're heading in the wrong direction.     If at first you don't succeed, you're doing something stupid.     You're nobody until somebody hates you.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     To get where you need to go you must first see who you really are.     Be a warrior, not a worrier.     Be a winner, not a whiner.     If the coyote had stopped to catch his breath, he might have caught the roadrunner.     A pack of puppies led by a pitbull will always be feared more than a pack of pitbulls led by a puppy.     Brainpower is as important as horsepower. Read, read, read!     You should always pick a job for its passion value not cash-in value.     Don't let a blame preoccupation ruin your occupation.     It's always better to go for longterm greed over short term greed.     A shortcut is often the longest distance between two points.     Time is money...and time wasters are money wasters.     Don't wait to make heaps and heaps of cash to have heaps and heaps of fun.     Every member of the Fortune 500 Club could also be a member of the Misfortune 500 Club.     Money doesn't bring you true happiness...but happiness can bring you true money. If you love what you do, the money will come.     Whatever business you're in you're in the people business.     Fail Faster. Succeed faster.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     Follow the fuscia brick road.   Failure is in many ways like "fullure" - it is always full of lessons to be learned.     Believe in a laughter life.     Don't let your convictions become your restrictions.     Invest in "Fresh Air Fun." Take a walk outside once a day.     If you want your body to be smoking, you've got to stop smoking.     Sometimes, all you gotta do is ask. Duh.     Taking no action is an action. Duh.     Happiness is not about what happens to you -- but about how you choose to respond to what happens.     Comedy = tragedy + 3 months and/or 3 margaritas!     Practice that tongue twister "NO" today.     Take the fat out of your fate. Slim down your schedule to what matters.     It's not just what you know...but what you do with what you know.     The grass is greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's astroturf.     When you grow - you often outgrow.     The only constant is change.     You are a human being, not a human was or a human will be.     Self honesty is the only path to happiness.     Sometimes we're "mad at" someone whom we should merely be "sad at."     Be so proactive you're preactive.     Fast doesn't always last.     Love is a boomerang. What have you and give away is what you get back.     Fear of commitment: it could happen to you...or someone you can't love.     Saying difficult things now is better than fixing even more difficult problems later.     It is better to have loved and lost - than to live with a psycho for the rest of your life.     It is better to have loved and lost - and had some really amazing hot sex - than never to have lived and loved at all.     A man is not a project. A man is a man. And a project is a project.     It's better to have a short bad relationship than a long bad relationship.     It's worth it to hold out for a soul mate and not settle for a cellmate.     Assess breeds success.     Turn all bad experiences into good inperiences - take them in fully, and change in a positive way.

New York Seminar -- Nov. 13th!



Q: How can you score EXTREME BUSINESS SUCCESS?

A: You must recognize that in today's competitive world it is the HARE not the TORTOISE who wins the race! You must think fast on your feet -- and you can only do that if you trust your GUT.

You can learn all the inside science-secrets of the GUT from me -- when I give a seminar from my newest book GUT:HOW TO THINK FROM YOUR MIDDLE TO GET TO THE TOP -- on November 13th @ 7pm in the Screening Room at THE SOHO HOUSE on 9th avenue and 13th Street -- FREE!

I believe that in today's uber-busy business world, the wisest decisions ONLY come when you wisely trust your gut and thereby have:

a. the intuitive courage to go against status quo and group opinion

b.. the intuitive foresight to see a new market even before it’s obviously emerged

c. the intuitive trust in yourself to try a hitherto untried opportunity

d. the intuitive ability to tap into a client’s most relevant priorities/needs/values -- before they become a client’s biggest problems

e. an intuitive strong sense for what your highest priorities/needs/values may be


FACT: INTUITION IS NOT ABOUT SEEING INTO THE FUTURE. IT’S ABOUT SEEING INTO THE PRESENT.

FACT: IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR GUT YOU WILL REAP THE FOLLOWING REWARDS:

1. recognize a winner business idea from a loser business idea

2. recognize the good guys from the bad guys (Note: This is an invaluable Darwinian skill in a business jungle inhabited by that two-headed beast commonly known as “The Two-Faced Businessperson.”) (Note #2: I guess having that second face comes in handy. If/when this person loses face, they always have another!)

3. recognize how to motivate people better

4. recognize what you should/shouldn’t reveal in a meeting

5. recognize the difference between “over analyzing” and “wisely analyzing”

6. become your own favorite expert opinion

7. experience more synchronicty…lucky coincidences

8. stop wasting time and energy on inappropriate thoughts and actions

9. increase creativity and imagination

10. increase confidence in risk-taking

11. resolve complicated situations in a quicker, more inspired manner

12. distinguish intuition from the urge to act from fear, doubt, desire

Come learn EMPOWERING GUT BUILDING TECHNIQUES from me on November 13th @ 7pm in the Screening Room at THE SOHO HOUSE on 9th avenue and 13th Street -- FREE! For more info, write me at info@notsalmon.com. (Put GUT REQUEST in subject box.)

My GUT says you'll find this seminar exciting and inspiring -- as will all your New York buddies -- so spread the word!
