Here’s an article by Bob Scheinfeld, Life Change Expert. On how to organize your self help material. You
might have a stack of stuff like myself that needs sorting out!
Most self-help writers, including the most popular ones, will freely admit that even their best ideas only work for about five percent of their readers. Why? Because they are one-size-fits-all remedies that either don’t fit your situation or aren’t easily put into action.
As a 23 year veteran of the personal development field, I’ve seen many different self-help programs come and go. Most of them claim you have unlimited power and can create anything you consciously want — all you have to do is use the expert;’s techniques. That’s a nice theory, but it probably doesn’t match your day-to-day experience, does it?
“Nobody will buy this product.”
“When everything is perfect, launch the product.”
“Your i’s and t’s aren’t dotted, don’t move.”
“You’re not ready to win, unless your product is an A+”
My friend, my fellow entrepreneur, the forces of ‘Get It Right’
will sink your entrepreneurial hopes.
You’ll sink faster than the Titanic.
The enemy of entrepreneurs that have never built million dollar+
businesses before is the ‘Get It Right’ crowd.
I don’t care if it’s your spouse.
Your family
Your friends.
It doesn’t matter.
If you wait until everything is ‘just right’ before you take
action, you’ll live in business quicksand and be in this same
place 5 years from now.
You will.
You don’t have to get it right.
Stop trying to be perfect.
It’s time to wage war on perfectionism. Join me in waging war on
a mindset that doesn’t exist and that will never exist.
Snap out of it. Snap out of the employee brainwashing.
Yes, your boss wants perfection.
Amigo, do not bring that mindset to the business you’re building
on the side.
Do not.
The ‘Get It Right’ philosophy is sinking the greatness that
lives inside of you.
Here’s another ‘Pozzy Tivv’ cartoon strip I’ve just come across in my files. For some reason it still tickles my funny bone after a number of years gathering cyber dust on my web site.
I’ve been an cartoonist for over twenty five years, and I’ve drawn all kinds of comics, posters, postcards etc. and I can tell you that they come in very handy when looking to motivate people. I’ve done them for companies that used them to inspire their staff, their sales team and even their colleagues to work harder, faster, and better.
You’ll be amazed at how effective they can be. It all goes back to the simple fact that a little humour goes a long way toward helping people to remember things. Also, as it’s done via a visual medium, that helps too. There’s that old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” So, if you get the right images, coupled with your words, you’ll have a winning combination.
Here are some cartoons I did a few years ago for someone who wanted a weekly updated motivational cartoon. Unfortunately he moved jobs before it ever being released into cyberspace.
Let me know if you’d like to do something similar on your web site!?
Best wishes,
Richard

When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
