Back on track?
Damn, I let myself fall into one of these nasty loops
Life Empowerment Coach & Mentor Sue Crutcher talked
about in her recent post.
But I’m back on track now (I think).
It all started when I got some not-so-good news from my
parents a week ago or so. Then, I let everything I was
working on slip.
However, the situation forced me to consider scenarios
I knew I’d have to think about someday… but had so far
chosen to ignore.
Isn't it amazing how inclined we are to delude ourselves?
This reminded me of the importance of what Hill referred
to as Accurate Thinking.
And of Ringer’s Theory of Reality:
“Reality is neither the way you wish things to be nor the way
they appear to be, but the way they actually are. Either you
acknowledge reality and use it to your benefit, or it will
automatically work against you.”
We know this is true… Yet we so often “forget” to apply it in
our life.
In fact, indirectly pointing people to acknowledge Reality
seems to be what I spend most of my time doing.
But what about you?
What reality are you choosing to ignore right now?
Food for thought...?
All the best,

Hi Yann,
Great to see you back around here.
OUCH! Well, I'll tell you offline over the Yahoo group.
Thank you for that reminder. It's like getting on the scale. NEEDS TO BE DONE to keep perspective correct.

Awsome post Yann. I'm sorry you received some not-so-good news ... as you say, however, it does force us to look at reality in a different manner sometimes and that is useful. Thanks for the 'nudge' ...

Accurate thinking is a great strength in business and in real life. Reality based thinking is so rare that it is refreshing when we do it.
I hope things work out with your parents.

Yann,
Very good post. What I am refusing to acknowledge? Thank you for opening my eyes.

That I need to start looking for another job.....Reality is, I'm unhappy at what I'm doing now.
In your post, you mentioned thoughts by Hill and Ringer. Who are they?
Scott A Bell
Hill for Napoleon Hill. Accurate Thinking is one of the success principles he describes in "Think & Grow Rich" (probably the most important one).
Ringer for Robert Ringer. If you've not read his books, I highly recommend "Looking Out For #1". It is very thought-provoking and inspiring.
All the best,

Ah, yes! I've read both of those! I'm not sure why the name didn't click.
Thanks for clarifying!
Its tough to keep up with this when we don't really "have to" anymore.

Nice to hear from you Scott. I chose to disappear to focus on other projects - though I do check the gang's posts from time to time.
I hope you're getting the time to enjoy the summer despite all your travelling. Looking forward to meeting you in Vegas in October (if you're going).
All the best,
Yann Vernier
Hey Lisa, I've been hiding in the UK - working on other things (or pretending to anyway). Will be in Vegas in October, I hope you'll be there too!
All the best
Yann Vernier
sniff! :((
whaaaaaaaaaa.
We WILL get to see you in 2 wks in Las Vegas, baby, yes?
I'll be hanging at the bar at the Luxor across from the check-in area (it's kind of wide OPEN bar, but you'll recognize what I'm talking about when you get there...) once I arrive at the Luxor and check in. I figure apps and drinks, and I'm set for HOURS!!!!!!
namely, feel to come join me... or avoid me (sniff!) as you so desire once you arrive safe and sound from the UK.
All the best,

Avoiding you?...
What a crazy idea!
I'm sure I'll find you at the bar, most probably talking with a group of men you've only just met. What day are you checking in - October 15?
I'll be secretely spying on Operation Blog 2.0, and may even comment and post from time to time - but the daily commitment is a little too much for me this time around.
All the best,
Yann
PS: I read your cool ebook a couple of weeks ago. Really fun, informative. Liked the tone as usual, very engaging. May I suggest you add a table of content and maybe also insert a couple of success stories. You know... So the reader thinks: "Wow! If April can help X who's clearly uglier/older/poorer/more timid/[insert objection here] than me... she's got to be able to help me! Let me call her now!"
Remind me to tell you about what I think your more intovert readers might feel about your ebook/posts when we meet in Vegas - I guess I'm well versed in how they think...<blush> Maybe we can come up with something (don't know yet but maybe tweaks to have several positionings like April for Action Takers, April for Introverts, April for ... - sorry, need to do more thinking about it!)
thank you for proving the EU and UK translation spin on my post for Rob. :D
You could, you know, post to your blog oh like... 1x p/wk.... sniff sniff
google LOVES fresh content
