Scott 'Dilbert' Adams' Success, The Start of the Local Premier Soccer League Soccer Season, And 'On The FGM T's Sales Front - Part 1'.

* Learning - through the Jose Silva free online course - that Scott Adams,who is the creator of the popular 'Dilbert' cartoon strip,used affirmations to achieve his great succes as a cartoonist.The 'Dilbert' strip is one of the most syndicated strips.It is mostly about 'going ons' in an office-work enviroment.
To 'affirm' is to basically state - in a sentence form - your desire and then to repeat this sentence daily until your desire becomes a reality.You have to repeat your affirmation irrespective of what your reality is as you start to do it.
Adams first tried affirmations to get closer to a lady he fancied.When the technique worked in this instance he then applied it to pass a tough University entrance exam for his MBA studies.Here he incredibly got the exact mark - 94% - he was affirming.And ofcourse the reason why he is now rich and famous as a cartoonist is because he affirmed it also.
For us the revelation here was someone who used a motivational technique - affirmations - to achieve success 'outside' of the motivational field, so to speak.It is very rare to hear a motivational speaker saying they used one of their techniques to - for example - become the best tennis player in the world.Most of the time they use them do well in the same field of motivating people.Whereas Scott Adams used a motivational technique to achieve worldly success.
In the final analysis we can therefore conclude that motivational techniques - be they visualization,hypnosis,affirmations - can be used to achieve success in other areas.For example,I could start affirming : 'I am the President of South Africa'.And this will surely come to pass just as night follows day.


* Our local soccer season finally kicking off this past Saturday.Between now and the time Supersport FC won the league it feels like almost a decade had gone by.The sense of a big gap between the seasons ofcourse being the result of the FIFA World Cup.
The season curtain raiser - The Telkom Charity Cup - started things on Saturday.Kaizer Chiefs going on to win it on penalties against Orlando Pirates.
This re-starting of soccer here in Mzansi helping to alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms for the true fans after the high of the World Cup.


* ON THE FGM Ts SALES FRONT - PART 1

Having exhausted all my leads - a list of freinds,ex-colleagues,family members,ex-girlfriends etc - I now faced the prospect of cold calling in an attempt to sell more Feel Good Movement t-shirts.
From the start I was aware that selling to strangers was going to be difficult.I mean this group of potential t-shirt buyers had no obligation to buy from me.They didn't know me from a bar of soap.

And so started my door to door selling.I started here in my 'kasi' - Protea North.I went to the shops at our complex - Protea Point.I started my sales presentations by explaining our mission in the Feel Good Movement.And this being to raise the positive energy levels in the country,and in the world,by writing and talking about the positive experiences around us.
After this quick backround I would then take out an FGM 'T' from my bag and say we are selling these to help spread the word about our message.
While people liked our idea of spreading the message of 'a focus on positive experiences',this did not seem to be enough to make them to part with their money to buy a 'T'.In my going around the 13 or so shops in the complex I did not sell even one FGM 'T'.
And we said we wanted to sell 47 million Ts?

But the 'struggle' must and will continue.This is a journey of a thousand miles.And we have taken our first step.



THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR MY 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.
