Excuses Are A Fear Response To Risk

I have noticed a trend in my years on the net and dealing with a multitude of people and would just like to give you some friendly advice. Don't be one of the ones that complains about something and then uses that as an excuse for not being successful. I have seen so many folks excuse their way right into failure.

In my experience excuses are simply a fear response against taking risks. Take the risk. Quit complaining. The most successful people also are the ones that make the least amount of excuses and take the most risks. I'm not talking about unnecessary risks that is foolhardy. I'm talking about calculated risks. Leaping without looking is a bad policy and will most likely get your head smashed. Look before you leap, but STILL LEAP!

Don't be afraid to take some risks. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Will all risk lead to success. A big no to that one, but many will be rewarding and all will be a lesson learned. Excuses bring about inaction. Excuses hinder.

I challenge you today, and over the weekend, to take some risks. Do something you are not comfortable doing. Step out of your comfort zone for a bit. You will find that the reward will be liberating.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E...

Are We Too Connected?

I have asked myself, and others, this question many times. It all started with the answering machine. Then we had emails, mobile phones, and now mobile phones with emails. We now have Twitter, & ppl posting constantly about their lives. It isn't that I don't see how it could benefit this blog, but simply put, quite a bit of the time I don't give a da-- that you are sitting in Starbucks reading a book. Unless of course there is some benefit to me from that information, such as you are a friend I'm meeting for coffee. Also, I really don't figure you give a da-- that I am sitting somewhere either. I understand Twitter goes beyond that, but you get the point. I use twitter, and yes I've posted that I was sitting in a Starbucks. So we have people running around with their iPhones and Crackberries worried they are missing emails, phone calls, and text messages. They are doing this while listening to music and Twittering away. With all of the social networking a...
