Chat Capacity and What Works and Falling Asleep!

So Heather is taking a Feldenkrais class which is Awareness through Movement and the teacher is apparently extraordinarily fond of saying things like "and you get credit for falling asleep!" Basically the idea being that you need to rest, less is more and that your mind is still listening and that you don't necessarily need to physically do the movements for the neurological connections to be made. The think method works - alert The Music Man!

So I have been thinking about that (ha-ha). I can't simply think about contacting a person and the person is contacted - but obviously in thinking about contacting people before I do so I can more effectively contact them. Not just in terms of making the points I want to make, but in having the tone I want to have, in conveying what it is I actually want to convey - which is more important than the actual words I use.

Sometimes in taking time out to be aware of what it is we are doing in business, in writing an email, in writing a blog, in surfing a traffic exchange, we can gain an insight we didn't previously have and would be unlikely to get if we were just doing it mindlessly. Kind of Buddhist in a way, but nobody has a hold on being mindful. The other important aspect being - you need to rest - you need to take a step back. You can't be doing constantly or you have no time to think, no time to process, no time to actually understand what's happening, to assess and change course and act appropriately.

So to segue into the question of the week - I have been offline due to some computer problems for about 5 days (resolved now - yee-ha!). But I have now answered the question publicly and privately  - does this work - about 37 times. And the answer is basically the same - you get into things what you put into them. Yes, it does work. You can wait for it to happen due to the efforts of people working for you or you can work yourself and make it happen faster. You can take advantage of the things offered to you and utilize them fully or you can ignore them. Up to you!  It'd be nice if I could say -yes, it works like magic and you have to do nothing and no one anywhere has to do anything, but that's simply not true. I've personally been a member of sites that have said that - and it has NOT been true but some people, even though they have already been scammed by sites that have said that they still want to hear that line. That's part of the reason for this post - if you don't step back and take a look at what you're doing, you'll keep making the same mistakes. Just trying to keep it real!

So I know, I know, another chatty post. Again, we have the chat capacity test coming up  - Oct 24 12 PM PST. You are all invited - it will be super fast - no sales pitches, nothing like that, we are just seeing how many it can hold before it bursts. Kinda cool. See the link for more details. My awesome and nice business partner Patty is running this through her site.

Have a great rest of the week!
