Welcome to your Journey of Self-Empowerment.
In this book, I have collated my thoughts on empowerment, confidence, goal achievement, success, spirituality, happiness and more. As I tread the path of my journey, experiencing and enjoying every phase, the ups and downs, the tasks that I have been put on, the tests that I had to go through, I realized every step that I took, only made me emerge stronger than before.
I am sharing my learnings and thoughts here and I hope these quotes or thoughts, whatever you may call them, will show you the way to empowerment. They will make you stronger by each day and you will be able to excel in everything that you do.
I encourage you to read one daily. Wherever you feel connected, put it in practice. Make a board / calendar / poster of your favorite ones and read them aloud, at least once daily.
I am sure they will help you feel motivated to ready take action!
1) The document discusses the difference between viewing challenges as opportunities versus excuses. It argues that viewing ourselves as creators of our own opportunities allows us to achieve success, while making excuses keeps us stagnant.
2) It provides an example of a coaching client, Sandy, who initially sees her husband's behavior as an excuse for her own unhappiness. Through coaching, she shifts to see it as an opportunity to pursue activities outside the house for her own well-being.
3) As coaches, we can help clients shift from excuses to opportunities by focusing on their strengths, prior successes in overcoming challenges, and the multiple options they have for action and improvement.
Ten traits of successful people by claude hamiltonClaude Hamilton
This document outlines 10 traits of successful people according to Claude Hamilton. The traits are: 1) focus, 2) striving for excellence, 3) making people feel good, 4) taking responsibility, 5) taking on new challenges, 6) producing regardless of situation, 7) being willing to work, 8) investing in themselves, 9) persevering, and 10) having optimism. Examples are given for each trait to illustrate how successful people embody and apply that trait in their lives and work. The overall message is that success is achievable by developing these 10 characteristics.
This summary describes a woman's resilience in facing serious health challenges. The woman, the author's mother, has had knee replacement surgery delayed due to being diagnosed with fatty liver disease that has progressed to cirrhosis, despite not drinking alcohol. She undergoes surgery to place bands around varicose veins in her esophagus caused by backed-up blood flow due to her scarred liver. The surgeon recommends she may need a liver transplant in a year if she were younger. Despite facing significant health issues, the woman remains determined and brave.
The first in a series of books by author and lifestyle coach Shaun Patrick. Bullet-Proof is a comprehensive guide on overcoming anxiety, self-doubt, and fear and developing long lasting, unbreakable self-confidence.
In January of this year (2017) I read Brené Brown’s last book and while reading ‘Rising Strong’ it struck me that it partly describes the Creative Interchange Process. The subtitle of the Dutch translation of her book: “the Wisdom of Falling and Standing Up” indicates that this book mainly covers the left side of my Crucial Dialogue Model (Crucial dialogues being one of the many applications of Creative Interchange).
Inspired by Brené Brown’s book I wrote five columns covering the complete ‘Rising Strong’ Process. First in Dutch and due to a comment of Mitch Kotula I started to translate them into (‘my kind of’) English. The last two columns describe the right part of the Crucial Dialogue Model, which is less covered in ‘Rising Strong’.
Those five columns, that where originally published on LinkedIn are now presented on Slide ‘to whom it concerns’ as a paper: The ‘Rising Strong’ Process.

The document discusses how intranets and organizational structures have changed with the rise of the internet. It argues that intranets now allow for more open communication between employees when not constrained by fear or strict rules. Additionally, it states that traditional hierarchical organizational charts are less effective today as knowledge is more distributed and hands-on expertise is respected over abstract authority alone. The internet has made information more accessible, interconnecting people in new ways and allowing conversations in online workplaces to more closely resemble open markets.
The document discusses the key ideas in the Cluetrain Manifesto. It provides an abstract and reviews several theses from the manifesto. The theses discuss concepts like how markets no longer want to talk to "flacks and hucksters" but instead want genuine conversations, and how both markets and workers are tired of only receiving remote, scripted information and want more direct interactions. The review analyzes the theses and provides reflective questions to encourage deeper thought about the topics.
This document summarizes key points from The Cluetrain Manifesto. It discusses how companies must belong to and share the concerns of their communities in order to speak with a human voice. It notes that helping other communities and volunteering is one way to show concern for others beyond just the company. It also states that in order to share a community's concerns, a company must first belong to that community and be accepted by them, which can be achieved by helping and caring for that community.
The document is a summary of 24 theses from "The Cluetrain Manifesto" regarding how companies should communicate with their markets in the digital age. Some of the key points made in the theses include:
1) Companies that speak to customers in a "pitching" language are no longer speaking to anyone. Honesty and transparency are more important.
2) Online markets are very different than traditional markets that watched television ads. Assuming they are the same can be a mistake for companies.
3) Companies now have the opportunity to directly communicate with their markets. But they must do it well and listen to feedback, or it could be their last chance to connect with customers.
The document discusses the key ideas in "The Cluetrain Manifesto", which proposes that:
1) Markets consist of human beings, not just demographic groups, and conversations between human beings online are natural and human.
2) When people converse online, whether providing information, opinions, or humor, their voice is typically open, natural and uncontrived.
3) People can recognize each other through the sound of their voice online, just as they can in person conversations. The human voice is an important part of online conversations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
The standard definition of grit is “firmness of strength or spirit”. But really, the essence of grit is elusive and complex. It’s doubtful that an exact definition actually exists.
Grit is a combination of resilience and courage, boldness, and resolve. It is a mindset of passion, perseverance, hope, and strong self-belief.
Grit is a fierce determination to succeed. It’s when you bravely take the blows and setbacks that life deals you, defiantly pick yourself up, and keep going. It’s believing in yourself and in your ability to succeed against all odds.
This document provides tips on how to develop an "awesome life" through principles of personal development and fulfillment.

As I am a junior student in college, there are many things that worries me while I
am studying. Today, I am going to share a situation related to what I am worried about
the most as a college student. Eventually, what worries me most in my life as a college
student is the grade level of my classes, and making a relationship with friends. So, the
two problems that I am going to talk about are the grades and the relationship. As well
as the self-limiting believes of the problems that trying to convince me.
For example, I am a hardworking student in my studies and I always try to get
the heights grades and excel all other students. However, sometimes I get confused
and stressed out if I have an exam or even homework. I just keep telling myself that I
won’t be able to do it, pass it, and even to pass the course and get a high mark. But,
after the exam and have a feedback of my homework, I reassured myself that I studied
and performed well. Furthermore, making a relationship with other friends makes me
feel uncomfortable. My friends keep telling me that it is good for everyone to have
many friends and be social. But what happened to me in the past made me careful of
not to trust everyone who wants to be a friend with me. Couple years ago, my best
friend was sick and I was with my friend all the time in the hospital. After several days,
my friend got out of the hospital and I noticed that she is not the person that I know. I
have heard from several friends complaining about my friend and I went to ask my
friend about it if it’s true or not. My friend agreed with what they said and after that
didn’t want me to be a friend with him/her. One more thing, the experience that I
recognize from this story is that if I get rid of this stress that makes my life negative, my
studies will be much more better. Also, not to trust everyone.
The greatest risk to me as a college student if I were to fully adopt those self-
limited beliefs is that when I put those believes in my head, I won’t be able to achieve
my goals and success. Furthermore, when I reflect on the problem-saturated story that
I have shared, there are many non-cognitive skills that I have learned about that would
need to focus on developing most to address the problem. The first non-cognitive skill
is that if I keep in mind that I will be able to get a high mark in all my classes, stress
and nothing else will prevent me from doing it. The second non-cognitive skill is that if I
also keep in my mind that not all people are the same and I can make a better
relationship with friends, then everything will be better than I thought. Lastly, there are
a statement about why it will be helpful for me to commit to developing these
problems. One of these statement is that it is very important for everyone to develop
their fears in order to be success in their life.

The document summarizes a session of the Positive Thinkers Club of Addis Ababa held on June 21, 2015. The session taught participants how to face their fears by playing a game called "The Forbidden 100" where the goal is to get rejected by doing things one normally wouldn't, like asking strangers personal questions or favors. The writer realized getting rejected was initially difficult but became easier and turned to laughter. Doing the game helped them overcome their fear of rejection by shifting their mentality to see failure and rejection as a form of success.
When you believe in yourself, you can achieve success through positive thinking and action. Developing belief in yourself requires focusing on success over failure, practicing positive self-talk, and surrounding yourself with supportive people who encourage growth. Successful people take responsibility for their accomplishments rather than making excuses. Developing creativity, listening to others, and cultivating ideas are key to achieving more. How you think determines your actions and environment.
This document discusses developing an abundance mentality over a scarcity mentality. It states that an abundance mentality believes there is plenty for everyone and focuses on opportunities rather than lack. Some keys to developing an abundance mentality include appreciating what you have, organizing your environment, spending time with positive people, and creating win-win situations rather than competitions. Developing an abundance mentality can help overcome challenges and fears by freeing you from negative thinking.
There is no greater joy than gradually dicovering who you are. This document hopes to help people break out of their shells and start the journey of self discovery.

How to overcome self limiting beliefs with 5 practical stepsIfeanyi Omoike
This document discusses overcoming self-limiting beliefs. It begins by explaining that self-limiting beliefs are self-imposed mental prisons that hinder one from achieving their goals. Common beliefs include not being good enough, smart enough, or from the right family. The author then shares five steps to overcome these beliefs: 1) assess the beliefs, 2) compare them to positive beliefs, 3) take positive affirming steps, 4) face fears, and 5) develop gratitude. Overcoming self-limiting beliefs requires facing hidden issues and replacing negative thoughts with empowering perspectives in order to maximize one's potential.

Abstract
This book review is about my own opinion and insights about how I feel and what are my reactions when
I read the book title “The Cluetrain Manifesto” typically the concept of the book is almost the same as the
concept of the 95 these written by Martin Lither about his opposing reaction to the teachings of the
catholic church. But the only difference with The Cluetrain Manifesto is that this is about how the internet
changes our everyday communication with each other and the other capabilities of social networks that
we have ever anticipated, especially those people developed these networks. People have different
reactions and opinions on every topic we discuss our minds never think and work the same in a 100%
manner. This review of mine is particularly how I have experienced some of the amazing capabilities of
social networks and what it can do to people who are using or interacting with one another in the internet.
Some of the reviews I also tackle are about the difference between marketing through the internet and
marketing by just commercializing through ads, commercials. Most of my reactions reflect also on the
difference between what is happening between conversations inside a company or for the company itself,
and the conversations that is happening outside the company. We do not realize that there is much more
out there that is happening and is being talked about outside your own company. We should be really
aware of what is happening out there.

Theses #76: We’ve got some ideas for you too. Some new tools we need, some better services. Stuff
we’d be willing to pay for. Got a minute?
New ideas and new ways of doing business are all just out there. With limited resources and
equipments to make everything possible companies need to open up their minds. Again I repeat this
phrase of opening up your mind to new realities. Even though sometime reality really bites, it only bite if
you let it, but you can often prevent it from biting you, or even make up for the bite that is has caused
you. The only to do these is to have faith on other people believe that they themselves also have the
ability to do things. In fact you do not have to believe if you really know it, everybody had his or her own
uniqueness you just have to help that person, and by the time you know it helping that person will go a
long way. I believe that success is not measured on how much you earn but how much you keep after you
have earned. A minute might change your life if you let that person’s ideas and words and actions sink
into your own self. I have experience this sometime that acquiring relationship and manpower is much
more important, because if people respect you and you also respect them for who they are, they will help
you along the way. This if from my point, that two nuts are better than one, and that when there is more
nuts it is even more harder to remove or break the tie because of the bond.
Integrative Questions:
1. How many friends do you have?
2. Have you ever served other people?
3. Do you listen to other people’s ideas?
4. Are you always too prideful of yourself?
5. Do you spare a minute of your time to others?

Theses #77: you too busy “doing business” to answer our mail? Oh gosh, sorry, gee, will come back
later. Maybe.
Opportunities are just once in a life time. Speaking of once in a life time that is really true,
because every time that clock ticks, every second it ticks, a another opportunity goes by and another one
come. It is just a matter of grabbing the opportunity when it has arrived. But when the opportunity itself
has gone close to you and you still do not realize it, that in fact it was an opportunity you will loos that
opportunity because it was the one who went to you, and you just ignored it basically you are too
stubborn and to attach to what you are doing that your are missing the some of the greatest experiences
life ahs to give you. But we all know we do not know what is coming till their gone, do not live up to that,
do not make regrets in life. Well if accept the fact the life is about grabbing those opportunities and
making the most of them, well yes that maybe good. But once we let an opportunity pas us by, we just
have to accept it and get on, we have to remain positive and wait for the next one, patience and
perseverance are what I believe are also the key to success. Each an opportunity passes by learn form that
mistake and, so for the next one that comes do not be too stubborn or ignorant just go and grab it, even
though you might risk it or be risking something for it make those decisions and learn from them.
Integrative Questions:
1. Have you ever let an opportunity pass you by?
2. How many opportunities you grabbed?
3. What is opportunity for you?

Theses #78: You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention.
A customer is always, based on my experience this was hard for me to accept. I never cheat my
customers, and always I try in every way to please them and give them what they have requested. But
once a customer’s says something whether it shouting at you or calling with different types of insult, I
mean it is really irritating even when you feel like shouting at the customer back, you just have to say
“I’m sorry man or sir, thank you… come again” though I know at back of my head, that my mind wants
to explode and is saying bad things to the customer. The lesson there is I want to get more customers treat
them the same way. But I really do not know if this is true but I have a couple of loyal customers who are
always buying my products, does this loyalty of theirs tells me that I can shout at some of the customers
who are not loyal to me, and tell them right in their face “who cares if you don’t come back, there are lots
of people out there that are more polite than you are!” Well to tell you the truth even though you are
polite to the customer, and he or she is just not that polite towards you, he or she is still a customer, and
no matter what their attitude towards us is we still have to pay attention to them. Paying attention means
getting the customer satisfaction.
Integrative Questions:
1. Have you ever hated a customer?
2. Have you ever treated a sales person not politely even though he or she is already treating you
politely?
3. How do you treat customer?
4. Do you have loyal customer?
5. What is your definition of a loyal customer?

Theses #79: We want you to drop your trip, come out of your neurotic self-involvement, join the
party.
Have you ever been that type of person how is always shy and quiet towards other people,
especially people whom you do not even know and you just met them? That person is just waiting for
someone to go near him or her and make friends with that person, and when they are friends and that once
quite shy person is already in the group, he or she is really relieved and that feeling of dark and deep
emotional thought that you would never enjoy this party has all been reversed and are all gone. Get out of
your self-involvement zone and join the self-involvement of everyone else that are in the party. Instead of
waiting for a person to come near you, go out there and make some friends. There is nobody in their
minds would not want to be friend with you, if they have just met you, not unless they are that type of
person who is a resist to other kinds of races that is discrimination. Those people do not deserve your full
attention they are just ashamed of whom they really are and they cannot face that fact that they are just the
same as everyone else, because we are all one. That is the great beauty of it, we are all unique to learn
how to appreciate one another. We all have different personalities and belief but we are only created by
one God and that is God himself if you are disliking one kind you like disliking your own self.
Integrative Questions:
1. Are you a shy type of person?
2. Are you the quiet towards other people?
3. Do wait for someone to talk to you before you talk to them?
4. What is your personality?
5. Do you always have your own world?

Theses #80: Don’t worry, you can still make money. That is as long it’s the only thing on your mind.
Making money, that is what should be only in my mind? I really do don’t know if can handle that
or even believe it. Because to tell the truth for me their countless and hundreds of way to make money.
For me if you just really love what you are doing, without even realizing it you are already making
money. I just have heard it from my professor in my vertical solution course which is a requirement that I
should take to pass my course, and he said that art itself is already money, some artist are just not making
money because they are not just looking outside on the other side of their brain, they are just focused on
the right side of the brain (correct me if I am wrong if it is on the left side of the brain) but whichever side
it is, they must also keep up with the trend today in where our world is standing and focus their art on
that, on what is really going on. I really did believe it, and in fact I never realize it that art is really money
and your already one step ahead of those people who are trying hard to make money, all you just have to
do is fit in the equation art + business = passive income, some may not believe it but art is like gas people
need it and want it, you will never run out of clients or customers. It is an unending consumption by the
people.
Integrative Questions:
1. How do you make money?
2. What is your own way of making money?
3. Have you ever thought of a way to earn income and you would never run out of work?
4. Is making money always on your mind?
5. Are already earning?

Theses #81: Have you ever noticed that, in itself, money is kind of one-dimensional and boring?
What else can we talk about?
Do you always talk about money? How to earn? How much are you earning? Where do you get
you income from? How do you do it? How do you get rich? What is your secret to success? What kinds
of earning do get? All these questions are somehow related to money, but money in itself can really be
sometime a source of greed or just a source of relief and passion. Those people who have passions for
money and love the game of it and loves learning form the game, are the person who makes the
difference, they are those people, who are dedicated to making money their title as “for the love of the
game” for them it is just a game and by the time you know it, they are risking all of their money, loosing
or winning they are all going in both directions. But once they get the hang of the game, they are just now
winning. I have read an article about, the difference between gambling and taking risk without gambling,
and it is just simple if you are not learning from your mistakes and you still repeating the same old thing,
then you are stupid, you are repeating the same old thing and not learning form it. It the same as gambling
you are gambling at something which you do not know how to play it, learn from it, and try your best to
play it right. Always think big, and believe in yourself no matter what people say.
Integrative Questions:
1. Do you always talk about money?
2. Are you a fond of the game of money making?
3. Have you ever read about how rich people do it?
4. What is your secret to success?
5. Do you have your own motto for motivating yourself?

Theses #82: Your product broke. Why? We’d like to ask the guy who made it. Your corporate
strategy makes no sense. We’d like to have a chat with your CEO. What do you mean she’s not in?
Having a chat with the CEO of the company and your talk is about business, I really do not think
that would be possible or they would even consider it formal. Well that is what they think, see and
believe. But how can their markets appreciate the beauty of the company, and the openness of the
company to consider even the ideas of their markets? Forget about what you were taught and about the
right way to do it, there is no right way anymore, in today’s world there are countless of ways to arrive at
a solution, and one of those countless of ways in to consider every part or every application and software
as a to reach out to other people. Every talk, and every time you give your time to your markets is another
way of showing them that you can let go of your informality, and bring your mind and yourself into their
position or into their level. In fact, stop doing what you are doing right now, just step donw be the one to
do it do not wait for them to come near you until you step down go down and talk to them, even thos you
might feel this is not my job; in fact it is you job! Listen maybe they can help you out, be part of their
groups and know what they know, and give them gratitude if they have done it. Appraisal is a strong
word, use it for the purpose.
Integrative Questions:
1. What is your strategy?
2. Who does it fell when you product breaks?
3. Who do you blame when something goes wrong?
4. Did you ever consider breaking the rules?

Theses #83: We want you to take 50 million of us seriously as you take one reporter from The Wall
Street Journal.
What does it really mean having a job on the Wall Street? Have you ever dreamed of getting in the wall
street journal? I have watched the movie the devil wares Prada? No wonder why she was called the devil,
because she always treats other people who are not part of her company, like disgusting fools. All she
ever cares is about fame, which is all that matters to her nothing more. At the end of the movie one thing
she realized was that fame and fortune, and the life she had were all nothing important. But what is really
important is how people look at her, her character and her attitude. the same thing also… almost
happened to the girl who her dream job was to get into the wall street, but she never realized that she
started to change, and slowly she is louring her friends who are most dear to her, and she was their friends
for a long time, and her only real fiends away from her all because of fame and her dream. Those were all
self-centred acts that both her boss and she made. They never considered millions of people who are
trying talk to them and they are just not taking them for granted. Taking 50 million of people seriously
will really boost more than you can imagine than taking only 1 person or reporter seriously. And the fast
way to and get the attention of 50 million of people is to go to the internet and use its power.
Integrative Questions:
1. What is your dream job?
2. Do you know The Wall Street Journal?
3. Have you seen the movie the devil wears Prada?
4. What do you consider more important your friends relationship or your dreams?

Theses #84: we know some people from your company. They’re pretty cool online. Do you have any
more like you’re hiding? Can they come out and play?
Play online and be cool, there is also something behind this little things that people often refer to
as cool, I really do not know why people are considered as cool and as keeping up with the trend in
today’s world if you have a social network. If you do not have one how can you survive in this world. As
much as I would like to say, my professor in my course told me that I am engage in a computer course,
and yet I do not have my own site? Come on, how could I be in this course without having my own site?
It is like how can one survive right know in today’s world and keep with all the updates and what is
happening around, if you do not have a computer in your home or even worse your own social network
account. Everything is happening online all the news and the latest one’s are already online, even the
one’s that are not yet out in the market and are not yet there are all online already they are here online
even before they get out the market. Want to know something in advance, go online. Some people still
wake up in the morning get their coffee and read the news papers. If you want to know what happened
yesterday then go ahead read the news paper, but if you want to know what will happen tomorrow read
online. In today’s world people do not wake up and read the newspaper, instead they wake up and go to
their computer open their account, and read the post of people.

Theses #85: When we have questions we turn to each other for answers. If you didn’t have such a
tight rein on “your people” maybe they’d be among the people we’d turn to.
Where do you go look for the answers to your questions? If you ask me that and a bunch of other
people they would say they go online and look for their answers there. Have you heard of Google? That is
the world’s most power search engine on the planet. Want to know something go there and type what you
want to search for. Everything is just basically in Google. If you’re the owner of your company, do not
strain your people like each one of them has his or her own leash, set them free let do, say, and rome
around where ever they want to go to. Let them have that freedom and people will go near to them,
because if they have a leash people will find it hard to go to them, for plenty of reasons. One of the reason
why some dogs are on a leash is because they bite people, but if your employee are like on a leash, people
or your markets will feel uncomfortable going near them. In fact, if you say they are” your people” then
again you pay them but once, they quit the job you do not anymore own them, and they can do whatever
they want with your company, if they have that much information in their hands. Let be loose trust them
to do their jobs, let them join the group of people so that your markets will come near them and be
comfortable around them talking and asking to them.
Integrative Questions:
1. Who do turn to if you have questions to ask?
2. Where do you go look to the answers to your questions?
3. Do you know Google?

Theses #86: When we’re not busy being your ‘target market”, many of us are your people. We’d
rather be talking to friends online than watching the clock. That would get your name around
better than your million dollar web site. But you tell us speaking to the market is Marketing’s job.
Have you ever tried stopping and just taking things easy and slow? Well, the way I understand the
first sentence is your target markets can also be your friends, how is that possible? Well one way I think is
by starting to treat target markets us one of your own, when is I say one of your own I mean you own
employees or people in your company. There is as I believe a really huge difference between the way yu
treat your target markets and you people in your company. But based on what I have noticed either way of
treating them is not that well, for instance let us say you treat your employees like dogs with a leash o
their neck or like a prisoner monitoring and dictating everything they should do and say. Sometime as an
employee I really experience not doing anything for at the least 30 min, or more or less what the company
asks me to do is quite boring somehow, so I just seat and watch the clock pas by and wait for my next job.
I could not use the internet to view my social networks or to just simply chat to other people around the
globe because I am not allowed to do that. Sometime the way I view popularity is simply by talking to
other people rather than spending plenty of your assets and they just go to waste and become your
liability, with all your money you cannot really think of the simplest way o earn money.
Integrative Questions:
1. Do you make your own web site?
2. Do you have your own company?
3. Do like talking to your friends online?

5. Do you have a web site?

Theses #87: We’d like it if you got what’s going on here. That’ a be real nice. But it would be a big
mistake to think we’re holding our breath.
Understanding your own markets is a really big step in making your reputation go out, or making
your company well known to them. But underestimating them is the exact opposite. You might have
plenty of customers, and people who can help you out. But once you put on the fire and play with it, it
will be hard to turn off the fire. You’re the one who started the fire, but your markets are like the gas, that
can and will spread the fire rapidly when provoked. The only difference is they control the outcome not
you, your company. Gambling is part of business but really without proper knowledge on such thing that
you are going to engage on and take big risk, I suggest you start doing your homework and play safe for a
while if you do not know anything, once you get the hang of it, then go ahead and take the risk. This are
just my opinion, if this offend anybody or anybody will judge negatively, I apologize for this I am just
stating really how I fell and my reactions to what I have read. But truly appreciating what your markets
opinion on something instead being to high on pride because of the name your company is already
having, but if majority of these people complain about you, then I think it is really a good idea that you
start paying attention to them and lower your pride or defence, because we all make mistakes.
Integrative Questions:
1. What is your target market?

Theses #88: We have better things to do than worry about whether you’ll change in time to get our
business. Business in only a part of our lives. It seems to be all of yours. Think about it: who needs
whom?
If you really treasure your business then share it with that rest of your markets who also love your
company. You it that deep inside of you your market really loves you, but have you ever wondered that
there is just something missing in you strategy? I really do not know if these is the missing key, but I
really do believe that letting your market become part of your business and letting them in the business, is
really a huge difference between the both. If you really need your business then don’t you think you also
need your markets? Where is the best place you can get your markets from? The best place is form your
markets themselves. They are the really only ones who knows who. Since you are too busy putting up
your own business, make it a choice to let them in your business. Think about the part where your
markets do not really care if you business goes down, and you go down with it. Because you are part of
your business it is like an extension part of your body, the moment it get wrecked, you also feel the pain
and get hurt. Yet you know this, but is still to ignorant to face your markets and tell them that they are
right, when you know that you are wrong. Come one wake up, and stop it, it is not just healthy for your to
be alone running you company even though you have directors helping you our, you markets are your
directors!
Integrative Questions:
1. Do you consider you business as part of your body?

will come along that’s more attractive, more interesting, more fun to play with.
The real power are in your opponents and in your markets, you may control the outcome, but
your markets at the end of the day are the ones who choose what is more attractive interesting, and fun for
them to play with. They are the only real ones, who really control their lives, and sometime they tell you
what to do but nevertheless you disobey them once more, and by the time you realize it they are long
gone already. Do not shelter you self to much and hide in the dark, go out in the light and let your markets
see you for who you really are, instead of trying to hide yourself, go out there and search for the real you
and make yourself feel the power of the light. Wheat it is really capable off. You may own your company,
but who really uses it, it is not your job your only job is the financially assist them and to see if they are
doing the job, you only real job is approval and firing of your employees. But they are all the ones who do
the job and get the job done. Your markets are like the food you eat without them you get hungry, and
you start looking for them. When you do not have money to buy food it also like saying you do not have
money to change the directions of where your company headed at, all your long term goals are all just a
waste.

Theses #90: Even at its worst, our newfound conversation is more interesting than most trade
shows, more entertaining than any TV sitcom, and certainly more true-to-life than the corporate
web sites we’ve been seeing.
Conversations are always interesting even when they are at their worst, because they are full of
imaginations and full of thoughts form different people that just never run out anything to say, and when
one is bored the other one will try to spark up the conversation. Either way both side of the conversation
is a win-win, it is like a phone that rings even though you know that the call is not for you, but you just
have to answer the call once the phone rang. The same ways goes when somebody post’s something on
the internet, someone will just have to comment about it. More interesting because they are not really or
should I say the y do not look serious when they are talking but they mean what they say, and are really
true to what they say. There are no boundaries to hat they are allowed to say as long as they say form their
own mouth and the words they use is coming directly from them, and not something that tells them
exactly what they should say. People barely watch TV shows now a days, everything they do in just in
front of the computer, and sometimes because their work is there, their attention is also there. Web sites
are just useless, if all people are to do is to admire the look and feel of the website, but if you cannot
really do anything that you want and need on the site, then it is considered useless.
Integrative Questions:
1. What is the purpose of your web site?
2. Have you ever considered the real purpose of you web site?
3. Do you still watch TV more than staying in front of the computer?
4. How often do you watch TV?
5. What is conversation for you?
