If you know me then you KNOW I’m famous for using – and in many cases messing up – sayings.

Sometime I combine em’ by saying something like, “Throw in the white flag!”.  A mixture of both “Throw in the towel.” and “Raise the white flag.”.  Both mean to surrender – so even though it doesn’t sound right – you still get the gist!

Sometimes I’m not even close to the mark!  Case in point (Ken McArthur and I on the set of Top Affiliate Challenge) -

But with this particular saying -

Eat the chicken and spit out the bones!

I’m using it correctly.

What does it mean?

In essence – listen to everything, take in what’s good and/or serves you, and get rid of what’s bad and/or negative.

There are Gold Nuggets in EVERYTHING if you choose to see em’!

The author of “Crush It” (And one of my favorite mentors) – Gary Vaynerchuk – curses like a sailor!  If you were someone who refused to listen to him as soon as you heard the first curse word uttered – you’d miss out on some INCREDIBLE info!

And it’s not just information this should be applied to!  Actions that occur in your life should be viewed in the same light!

For instance – let’s say you get a flat tire on the way to work.  You could stand in the road and curse like Gary Vaynerchuk (Just kidding Gary!) – or you could realize that maybe you were MEANT to be delayed.

Sure it might be a “Glass Half-Full” / “Silver-Lining” Mentality – but if you choose to find the good and dispel the bad – you’ll find those hidden nuggets!

Good Thursday Morning friends!

The “White Death” (Don’t send the St. Bernard my way.  It’s only supposed to be a few inches or so.)  is headed for Northwestern Ohio tomorrow – and I wanted to share a training I created during our last Snow Storm.

The training is called, “Shovel, Blower, or Plow”.

Here’s an Ezine Article Version of the Training – http://ezinearticles.com/?Shovel,-Blower,-Or-Plow?&id=3540907

Here’s a YouTube Video Version of the Training -

The Tribe has spoken!

And no – I wasn’t voted off of Survivor.

So what Tribe – or this case TRIBES – am I referring to?  Seth Godin’s Concept and Book of the same name – that’s what!

Mr. Godin states that – Our role today is to find, connect,  and lead tribes in order to make change happen.

And when it comes to making change happen – there’s a group online that’s getting ready to EXPLODE in a huge way!

And guess what?  You can be part of it all right from the beginning!

If you’re a fan of Seinfeld – you might remember the episode where Jerry, Kramer, and Newman were on the stakeout talking about how Tuesday “..had no feel“.  And if you think about it – it’s true.

For most people -

Monday is the beginning of the week.  Some people even get a “Case Of The Mondays” on this day.

Wednesday is the middle of the week or “Hump Day“.

Thursday is like being on deck for the end of the week –  and the start of the Weekend.

Friday is the end of the week, the official start to the Weekend, and in many cases – “Pay Day“.  And if you’re a Social Media Geek like me – it’s when you recommend and share friends on Twitter for Follow Friday / #FollowFriday / #FF.

Saturday is the heart of the Weekend!  You know you don’t have to be up for work the next day – and that means you can really let loose with friends and family!

Sunday is the tail end of the Weekend.  In addition to being a day of worship – it’s also a day to watch sports, rest, and get ready for the week ahead.

But what about Tuesday?  Like the Seinfeld Crew argued – it really DOESN’T have a feel or real purpose.

At least it didn’t!  Because that’s all about to change!

Tuesdays are about to get WHITE HOT!

Why?

Tribe Tuesday on Twitter!  That’s why!

And the group behind it all is the Tribe Mastery Intensive!

The Team behind this INCREDIBLE Tribe Training are having a Webinar on Thursday February 4th, 2010 at 9p EST that you have to see to believe!  I was fortunate enough to have attended their first webinar.  Almost 400 people hung on every word for over 2 ½ hours!  It was incredible information!

It really goes to show you the power of this concept!

Last week’s webinar was designed to give a brief glimpse into the Tribe Mastery Intensive 2.0.  The team was only able to share just a few nuggets – which was a small sampling of what will be shared in the Intensive!

And believe me – you DON’T want to miss the concepts of community, relationships, networking, and syndication the Tribe Mastery Intensive Webinar will cover!
