A whole new perspective on “in the trenches.” It’s World War One. You’re hunkered in, dug down deep. Protected from the enemy who’s within earshot. You have options: Keep shootingPlay the violin and share a schnappsDo both Oh, almost forgot. It’s Christmas Eve. I’ll put links below the video. Happy Thursday, everyone.

How involved are your collaborators or partners or friends or colleagues? A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”— Wikipedia Sure, the pig in this fable is extremely committed in the short term. The chicken, although only “involved” will at least be around for the long term. So, who’s on your team?

Yep, fame and fortune. Those are nice. But they’re not the *real* reasons to write a book. I might entice you to join the book writing party with raging rivers of flowing cash. But I’m going to get you to stay at the party–even host the party–when you see what’s really behind my motives to write a book.

Logical, rational, career, smart reasons to write a book:

To write your book, you need these three things. PassionConnectionBrevity Sure, there are more, but if you don’t have these, all of those others are more difficult or don’t matter. Passion about your message. If you’re not, how can you expect your audience to be? You’ll want to create a connection with your audience. Find that common thread and weave a “relationship.” Contrary to unpopular myths, you don’t need to write a 342-page saga about your message. Brevity is key, welcome, and, let’s face it, real. Once you’ve got those, add in a bit of consistency (whether daily, weekly, or monthly) and you have the ingredients for success.

If you’re struggling figuring out who in the world you’re supposed to be surrendering to, you can always “surrender” to a group. Ever wonder why you can find focus (and more) during a weekend workshop but can’t make it happen on Monday morning alone? Here’s how. In related news, you can “surrender” to a group of people who are all, collectively and individually, going to write a nonfiction book together in November (2020).

You have the information (or had it). You know it. You just can’t seem to access it. Or you know what you want or maybe have an idea of where you’re going. Yet you just can’t seem to get there. Ready to take the biggest leap of all? Here’s a video version via Thursday Thunder. [ https://youtu.be/tmDZSeIUZP4 ]

There’s just one thing you need to do to get from Accept to Believe.

This could be the hardest part. Or wait, maybe the easiest. You’ll see, you’ll know.

Of course you’re getting good at the less-fun stuff. But what about the fun stuff? [ https://youtu.be/pU06zq5D-0E ]

When and why and how does content go viral? Why does one post earn $24,000 and the others $0? Let’s get another statistical certainty out of the way: if you publish and share nothing, the chances of it going viral (and/or earning a single penny) are ZERO. Get it out there, solve a problem, show the steps, share your success. [ https://youtu.be/Bwws-qV2m5Y ]

My book Meditate came out the other day and I’m collecting stories from people who aren’t me about their experiences with meditation. Sudhanya went from meditating just a single minute, yes, 60 seconds, to a daily 5-year meditation practice that has banished fear, filled her with courage, and has given her the daring to find new and unknown meditation practices to play with such as forgiveness.

An answer, an idea, a solution, something unexpected. Just one per day. Through meditation.

It’s easy to wait for the good stuff.

What do you when something shuts down, or dies, or goes away? Are you going to fill the void? Will you take the reins? Fill the shoes? [ https://youtu.be/iVi5hRYwaMU ]

“Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.” Jim Rohn According to Jim above, “steady progress” is it, it’s the goal, it’s success. So, let’s see here, if we just keep going, we proceed, we make progress on a regular basis, then we’re succeeding? Yep. That’s exactly what he’s saying. This is exactly what we’re saying here. The marathon isn’t the goal. The training is the goal. Let’s list a few more stereotypical markers of success: 1. Money 2. Fame 3. Power Recognize those? What if we measured by a different scale?

The blank page. The empty songsheet. How do you get started with being creative? Even scarier: what if you’re put on the spot and need to perform right there and right now?

How you do anything is how you do everything. So, how are you doing on the “anything” stuff? This was a voicemail I left my mom but hey, it’s good for everyone to hear. How do you treat the person rolling around The Snack Cart? Or in other words, who are you truly?

It didn’t seem like much at the time. But oh boy, sigh (SI), it was THE moment where it all changed.

Your time to shine is now. YouTube version: [ https://youtu.be/X4kGL5twidk ]

Sometimes, we can truly have too much time. What if we only had 5 days? Or 5 words to get across our message? You’d make it work. It’s harder. But it’ll be better. [ https://youtu.be/OnGBEHwZLbM ]

Job interview? Hot date? Or you just really want to know what the other person is really thinking? I talk with Dan Hill, author of “Famous Faces Decoded” and he tells us how. “What is it you think I’m going to find out about you?” — Dan Hill “In this smart, entertaining book, he [Hill] explains how one can spot seven emotions on people’s faces . . . using clear examples . . . Here, he analyzes the facial expressions of 173 celebrities . . . A fun, informative book for readers interested in better reading people.” — Kirkus Reviews “Recent research on leadership has found that the ability to recognize and understand emotions are among the best predictors of successful leaders. Rarely, however, are these emotional intelligence skills taught in business school. Dan Hill presents a unique and highly entertaining roadmap to these skills.” — Steven Stein, Ph.D., author of The EQ Leader Famous Faces Decoded: A Guidebook for Reading Others

One of those things that just happens. Yep, just like that.

We could hide under a rock and hope to survive. Or we can step up and thrive. Nicoline is action-oriented, positive, fearless, and fun. I knew I liked her for a reason. “Businesses who have that mindset, they will survive. The ones who will go into hibernation and hiding and waiting and seeing? Those are the ones that will die during the crisis.” — Nicoline Huizinga You can see a video version of this conversation here: [ https://repossible.teachable.com/courses/nam/lectures/14810129 ] https://repossible.teachable.com/courses/nam/lectures/14810129

100 episodes and I just found heaven. Where’s your heaven?

But it doesn’t hurt to ask. Well, it doesn’t hurt much.

I had the hardest time asking: asking for help, asking what I wanted with my life. It turns out, the answer isn’t necessarily the hardest part. The hardest part can be asking the question in the first place. Let me ask you a question: bradleycharbonneau.com/asking/.

You know those moments in the movies, usually accompanied by dramatic music, when lightning strikes or the guy hangs on to the cliff by his pinky toe and then miraculously saves himself (and probably the rest of the planet) and goes on to cure cancer and star in the remake of The Shawshank Redemption? Yeah, well, it didn’t happen like that for me.

I’m all about creating. But it’s not the only way.

We create our future selves. Ready to get started?

It’s not a drug. Well, kinda not a drug.

An Invitation to Come Out of Hiding and Embrace Your Super Natural Self After 5 years, the book is finally out. It’s Adwynna’s story, it’s my story, it’s possibly your story. It starts way back when. It starts with open. From a book review: “From the very beginning I was pulled in and I gobbled it up. The story Adwynna tells of her journey into her true spiritual connection is told with heartfelt honesty. Her experience is relatable even if our own paths are different. The insight she shares and advice is something all of us can use to help understand our own experiences and help us open to the magical possibilities of being connected to source energy.” You too can start with opening her book at Amazon.

Make sure you download her "Seven easy ways to add more play into your life." I call it "enlightenment" and Louise calls is play. We're both right. But I think her way is easier to understand, achieve, and...spell. Louise is onto something with her drive to get back to our inner child. From the description of "The Recess Life:" The Recess Life is the podcast that gets you back in touch with your inner child. Host Louise Wo will remind you that being an adult doesn't mean that you stop playing. On The Recess Life she interviews entrepreneurs, entertainers, thought leaders and artists to help you connect with your creative spirit again (we promise it's still in there somewhere!).
