Simple, Straightforward, Authentic

I went to Parsipanny, NJ, yesterday to learn about a new consultants' network I might join. The organization promised to train you something, it wasn't quite clear, and put you in front of business who need you as clients, in ways that weren't quite clear. And they needed $9,995 of your money to be a part this wonderful thing.

At best an expensive lead generation service and at worst a blatant Ponzi scheme. In either case, thanks but no thanks.

I think there's a valid business model in there, but not the way it was laid out, or not laid out.

My goal here is to help entrepreneurs climb all the way to the top. How am I doing?

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go. It informs my writing and my real estate.

Finding your voice and writing

Finding your voice for a fiction writer is key. Do you want to come out the shoot sounding exactly like Cormac McCarthy? Or Stephen King? A friend of mine modelled his books after Elmore Leonard. He had trouble selling any because Elmore Leonard has a huge audience already so who needed him?

Find your voice. It underlies all that you do. If you don't know what it is, see what you want it to be and start acting as though your voice is that.

Finding Your Voice

Since I'm starting over let me reiterate what I've said before. Before becoming anything you need to find your voice. Sometimes called your brand. What makes you you? What makes you unique? What drives you? What do you want your life to be like.

It took me 64 years to be to articulate mine: simple, straightforward, and authentic. That's my voice. It informs my writing, my real estate, and my entrepreneuring.

You should make sure you know yours. If you don't know what it is ask other people who know you. And figure out what you want it to be. If others' opinions don't agree you have some work to do.

If you don't know it you'll either not likely be successful or if you're successful you won't be happy.

As Rick Nelson said in his song Garden Party:"You can't please everyone/So you've got to please yourself."
