The other day I was having a conversation with a local real estate agent. He told me his business is booming. A little later on in the conversation he mentioned he was going to take on a second job doing some catering with a friend since nothing is going on. I’m confused; business is booming and you need a second job?
A colleague of mine says she is booked solid in 2009, but she’s not attending a holiday event with her peers – it costs too much. I’m again confused.
The postmaster at my local post office just told me things we booming for the USPS; that was a week ago. This morning he told me that the post office is looking at cutting the hours of smaller offices; seems that business is bad at the US Post Office and has been for a while. I’m confused.
Are these lies? Are these mixed messages? Is it wishful thinking? Do people not know what they are talking about? Are people just trying to impress others?

Well with all this nonsense going on I have made a decision…………….
The only people I am listening to these days are the ones who are telling me things are tough, getting tough, or have been tough for a while. I think they may be the only ones telling the truth.

Star Trek: Generations the movie
Last night I went to see Comedian Brian Regan. His opening act was another comedian – Joe Bolster.
I thought Joe Bolster was funnier.
Well in the 15 hours that have elapsed since last night two people have lashed out at me for saying this. They think Brian Regan is the funniest man on earth. Okay, I’m glad; and he was funny. I just thought the other guy was funnier. And it is not like I said Brian sucked!
It’s kinda like when I speak to an audience; some people like me more than the other speakers; some people like me less than the others. sometimes my blend of fun and motivation in a keynote or breakout session is what they’re looking for; other times it is not. I’m not offended. People’s tastes are different. I think this would be an awful planet if we all liked the same things.
There are times when we are not on our game or have an off day; and this doesn’t just apply to people who are speakers, performers or entertainers. The waiter has a bad day. The secretary has a bad day. The football player has a bad day. And if you’re the chairman of GM, Chrysler or Ford you’re having lots of bad days that could perhaps be leading to less than stellar performances. Or maybe people just like the other product better?
In the end, the only thing that matters is your opinion; and don’t let anyone change it.
So………… for my two colleagues who think I should be nailed to a rafter; I really liked Brian Regan; I just liked Joe Bolster better.

Years ago my friend wanted to share a great “opportunity” with me. She wouldn’t tell me what it was all about, but invited me to a meeting to learn about the “opportunity.” I declined; figuring it was Amway. I was wrong. It was NuSkin; same thing.
A couple of years ago my friend Sherry called me to tell me about an “opportunity” she just couldn’t let me miss out on. She avoided my direct questions about what network marketing or pyramid scheme it was about. I scolded her; giving her a piece of my mind; telling her don’t pull that “opportunity” crap on me. I;m your friend I said to her. Tell me what you’re up to; let me be excited for you and let me ask my own questions. Don’t sell me.
Today I was offered an “opportunity” to contribute a chapter to a leadership book. The offer came from a stranger. I shot off an email cutting to the chase, knowing that she really didn’t want a contribution and asked what this “opportunity” was going to cost. I received a reply avoiding my question. I sent her an email thanking her for the “opportunity.”
I would like to offer a real “opportunity” to sales and marketing people – an “opportunity” for you to remove the label sleazy from your name – and it is a free opportunity……………
