I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie at all. The reason was that I already knew exactly what was going to happen. So did you.

Interest vs. Commitment
Take out a piece of paper and write down a list of everything that interests you. For most that will include exercise, church, family, work, travel, friends, Facebook, TV, radio, video games, neighbors, etc. Put everything on this list that occupies your time throughout a typical month.
Next, I want you to circle the 5 things that are most important to you. These are your commitments.

Anticipate the ‘Next Needs’ of the Market

Actions Speak Louder than Words
We are all heavily swayed by words. They influence what shows we watch, the foods we buy and the decisions we make at the ballot box.
As a conservative, the most frustrating thing about the election of Barack Obama was not that this nation chose a liberal politician who fundamentally believes that a larger government is the key to our challenges. What drove (and continues to drive) me nuts is that people voted for and support President Obama because of what he says, not what he does.

Environment
How important is our environment?
Last year, I was doing some volunteer work and had the opportunity to get to know a 5 year old boy named Bill. Bill lived with his mother and grandmother in a small 2 bedroom apartment. Bills’ mother worked 2 jobs to put food on the table, and his father was in jail.
After I completed my project with this family, I remember thinking to myself – “What is going to become of Bill?”
His environment is filled with individuals who have struggled and never achieved… Continue

Cissi Sherlock said… - Great Show Today!
It was good for people like me who are just wingin' it! I know what I want to accomplish. And I know I have all of this to accomplish on a -0- budget, limited resources and limited education in all the areas I need to elevate me. So, I get bits and pieces from every resource that I know of to help me move forward. That does not always mean that I get the right advice or, as a novice, that I use it correctly. So far I have been blessed.
PJ was a dream come true! I never had a clue what Web 2.0 was. Again, I was just wingin' it. He helped a neophyte like me to understand some of the things I am doing and a lot of the things that my many brothers and sisters on SI have told me to do. He also help me to understand, most importantly, what I have to do.
Chris Spangle tried to get you and I together when he was still at the radio station. He had a great concept that he wanted to approach you about for a show between you and that could have been a learning experience for listeners.. Then he LEFT me!!!! I love Chris.
It is a chore building a business and community outreach program, especially when you re-enter the business world later in life and need to be re-educated. Smaller Indiana has been so instrumental in helping me understand the business aspect of what it is I wish to accomplish, and I have made some lasting friends along the way. The day Ben McCann gave me an impromptu telephone workshop, then helped to rebuilt my website on my ning, I cried! You just don't find people like that everywhere. I have Lou Begnel to thank for that union.
And, when you joined SI, I thought, "At least I know where to find him when I need him even if Chris never got us together!" You would think I know you personally already!!.
For all of this, I am blessed!
I think I walked past you at the Chocolate Blues Festival! I only have your SI picture to go by. All I know is that if I did, I had a brush with greatness!!!!
Basically, I have been using your show as a weekly workshop. the information that I have gotten from your show for free is equivalent to a college education. Using that analogy, some of your guest elevate me into studying for my Masters Degree. There was one occasion when you had Hazel Walker on and I took notes from start to finish, just as I did today.
I thank you for all your help. And, I thank all of the friends that I have made on Smaller Indiana. (so far!!!!)
Though Chris was never able to get us together in person, I thank you for being there for me anyway. ...and you didn't even know
