Yes is the New NO
One of our favorite actors is Jim Carrey and we just saw a preview of his new movie. The movie called "Yes Man" - check out the trailer at Yes is the "New" No
It is about a guy that says NO all the time. Now, he has made a life change which to say "yes" to everything. Not exactly how "go for no" works since we suggest that you need to hear "no" more often in order to hear "yes." But the two ideas are interesting when played off each other.
In this case, rather than being the ask-er, Jim is the askee and says "NO" to everything. So all of our "go for no" devotees would gather a lot of No's from his character! That is of course until he starts experiencing life by saying "yes!" This is a wildly cool premise, we wish we'd thought of it. Jim, if you're out there, have us to the premier!

Fear and Change
It's kind of interesting all this stuff in the media and around the election campaigns on "change." In general, it seems most people don't actually like change. Change, for most people is fearful. Right now, lots of people are nervous about the economy, the election, etc. There's a lot of fear and uncertainty. And then you layer in all the talk about change.
Change can be a funny thing though when you consider this great quote from John A Simone Sr: "If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change."
So, relax - cause wherever you are now - it'll probably change.

Our Cookie Lee Proposal Re-Inactment
No, Richard was not asking me (Andrea) 
to marry him on stage at a recent Cookie Lee Convention. We were merely re-telling and acting out the story of how he did ask me to marry him over and over and over until I finally said yes. A story of persistence. He did, in fact, ask so often that when I finally said yes, Rich was so shocked he barely heard me. We were browsing in a Robinsons-May (now Macy*s) department store. So after it registered, he ran off to the jewelry department, bought a ring, and brought it into the shoe department where I, of course, was trying on a black heel. I still have the husband. No longer have the shoes. A great story yet again, of failing your way to success. And we had a wonderful time with the 2000+ consultants and leaders of Cookie Lee in Anaheim! Those people know how to have fun! And they are so passionate about the product - and they should be - it really is fabulous!

Harry Potter Author's "Benefits of Failure"
Our good friend Patrick Galvin of Galvin Communications is always sharing cool stuff with us. Today he sent us a link to JK Rowling's Harvard commencement in which she talks about the benefits of failure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pucdJHjZaqs.
Our favorite line... paraphrased... "If you do not fail then you're living so timid a life that then, in itself, is a failure."

CD Give-A-Way Project
In our quest to help people oercome fear of failure, rejection and hearing no, we created
this new CD called Reprogram How You Think About NO. It has 10 different tracks including 'Responding to NO', Attitudes about Failure, Comfort Zone, Persistence & Tenacity, Building Your Courage and others...
We spent weeks taking all our best quotes and affirmations and listing them - we had a ton! Then we poured through them, editing and re-crafting if neccessary, and slowly working, ranking each one, carefully selecting and and deleting the ones we decided weren't perfect until we had the top statements for each track.
Then we searched for the perfect music that would go with each track, listening to hundreds of clips, finally selecting the most perfect music that best matched the message and that would allow the statements to easily be absorbed and remembered.
Finally we went into the studio, recorded, edited, re-edited and finally emerged with our new CD! So the deal is, this is a CD we'd like to sell for $35. Instead we're giving it away for just a shipping&processing fee of $4.95.
Why? 3 reasons. One, the selfish reason: we would like to build a following of people interested in learning what we teach - we need to get to know them and that's why we hope this offer drives people to the site to take advantage of it. Next, we really do want to help people in business; sales including direct selling, networking marketing, entreprenuers, (anyone who must hear "no" over and over again!) get this information, and finally we just thought it was a cool idea.
