You may not have liked Roger Ailes or you may have admired him… But he was a tour de force in his industry because he knew things that most people did not know. And so if you are smart enough to try and learn and know things that most people don’t know you will join us every Thursday for WiT Radio …. and Tell Me Something I Don’t Know!
This show will hit many of you right in the nose. Are you boring? Maybe you are, and being boring is usually not good for life and business success… especially if you are an Entrepreneur … But i bet your website is boring is boring, your LinkedIn and FB are pretty boring too… so here is what to do so you won’t be so boring … It’s our showcase on Wednesday, which is a television show on the radio… So please listen in and just imagine the pictures.
It might tick you off, but sorry it’s true - Donald Trump is right … you need to do a lot of firing in this world, and often the person you need to fire is you. I fired myself for seven days and went of the air and i am back but on probation. So here is that story for you and your consideration, and I share with you a great consulting secret which I call The Missing Question! Let me tell you about this on our new 4M show - Monday Morning Motivation in the Marketplace.
This weekend and into next week, I want you to think about writing the book that will share your ideas, and build your impact, influence, and income! But I also want to issue a life, business, and book challenge, that was given to me by a book editor… She said, “Stan, you don’t want people to like your book, you want them to _________________” Well in the program for this weekend I fill in that crucial blank, and it will truly be something for your thought and consideration.
Conservatism Bias - No we aren't bashing Fox News. However there are a good number of things happening here and around the world that should, at a minimum, give investors pause. But when the market defies gravity, investors can become like deer in the headlights, not responding as they probably should to new information. It's called Conservatism Bias. Tune in. It Really Matters
We are probably the only radio program that will not do interviews but we sure would like to have you on our programs and talk to you. But we have a powerful and proudly different mission for you that could make you a real deal person, in fact a real radio star…. Listen and find out just what that might be.
We are back on our Monday Episode on The Selling Life … We cannot help but keep reminding you that selling you, your ideas, and the things you have to offer …Good, services, and experiences are how you proper in the the new digital entrepreneurial economy. if you don’t sell in some way you will not survive in the marketplace. And today Frank reminds you that you always have to be out looking for people who want to buy what you have to offer, what you have to sell. So listen a number of times as frank takes 20 minutes to tell you how to start thinking and acting because the "selling life starts with the prospecting life."
That's Right - Elvis did not want to smile … and Just like Garrison Keillor in the Lake Wobegon stories that leads me to a whole lot of weirdly connected ideas that just might be of interest to you if you are an interesting person…. And I believe that it will be more than worth your thought and consideration. Take some time to think! Best to you this weekend.
I have failed at many things, and have been living in deep shame at some of my failures. That is part of the pain that I shared on Tuesday’s Episode…So let me give you some idea how I got into these failure messes, and why some people have not. Many of these good folks have not because they are just plain smarter, braver, and more accomplished than me. Some of them have had a run of good luck and fortunate breaks. But some who have not failed or seldom failed, have really failed, and perhaps failed badly…. here is the irony and the paradox, even double paradox - If you have a lot of failures in your life you will probably not be a failure. but if you have none or few failures in your life… you probably are a failure. I think i know a few folks like that, maybe many, maybe you… so join with me as I try to get some clarity about failure on our WiT Radio Episode today.
Well the title drew you in and the fact that I am also talking about the top of the news scandal of a major American broadcaster is also part of the hook. But that’s all you get. You have to listen to the whole show for 10 Minutes, and it will not be just some clarity, but a challenge to you, because i insist that most of us in some way still believe “that Elvis is still alive” This show will challenge you or upset you or both, but in many ways you will remember the lesson about believing in Elvis!
A recent article from Harvard Business Review has that charge against the Facebook phenomenon …Hey, for the most part I will tell you that whenever anyone starts quoting polls and studies, ignore them, and the argument… mostly fake stuff. However I know that it is very possible that indeed the more time you are on Facebook and online and on the screen, it will not go well for you, So take a few minutes with me and see if I can bring a little clarity to this conflict and chaos, and help you know what to do, and it is vital to go from digital to incarnational. This will challenge you, and also help you understand why many businesses are asking me from all over the world to be their spokesperson and storyteller online on their digital stage. Thanks for listening!
Unbelievable Contrast - Peter caught a rare glimpse in just one afternoon between 2 men in very similar stages in life. One was full of angst, uncertainty, and fear about his future. The other was full of life, gratitude, and optimism about his future. What's the difference? It's all about the choices that we make every day, day in and day out. You choose. So choose life. Tune in and decide which guy you're going to be. It's what really matters.
Today in what is called in the Christian Tradition, Maundy Thursday ,and it is indeed a dark day. Because it is about the B word. And my use of that term has nothing to do with what many of you are thinking. So let’s find out what it is all about and what it takes. You see we need to remember this day and the B word because our success and happiness may eventually depend on how we handle the real bad B word.
Stan takes some time for a little thought and consideration about the meaning of Sunday morning, the routines it suggests, Tom Brady and his deal, and a marvelous trip to New Orleans … leading to Amazing Grace and the coming Holy Week of hope and resurrection. All from WiT Radio in the desert sun of Arizona.
How 12 People Broke the Market: On Wednesday, when the Federal Reserved released the minutes of their March meeting, investors' confidence was shaken as they learned that Fed may actually start to try and unwind the mess they created. Jeff Hybiak's blog once again stresses the fact that when over confident investors start to pile into the market as they have in recent months, the end of a bull market cycle may not be far off. Those investors are really better defined as speculators. Their unrealistic expectations and fickle behavior may well initiate the bursting of the bubble that the Fed's quantitative classroom type experiment created. No one knows when it will burst or how the Feds will undo their unprecedented experiment. Jeff says that the higher the market climbs from here, the uglier the day of reckoning will be, the more Peter is reminded of why we call Jeff, Mr. Sunshine. Tune in!
