create money

I bought a copy of Seth Godin’s the two years ago before leaving on a trip to Kathmandu. Nepal. I was going for a two month be because of a seminar and wanted to do some airplane reading because it was a long flight. In my haste to leave. I forgot about the book and left it at home. By the time I went back home. I wasn’t really in the mood to read it and so left it on the bookshelf where it got dusty. Fast forward two years. Three weeks ago. I took out the book and flipped a few pages because I was bored. And gradually over the course of a few days. I finished the color Cow. I thought it’ll be good to finally do a short review of it. The main reason why I bought the schedule in the first place was because it was light reading. There’s only 145 pages and from what I’ve sampled it was written in an informal conversational style and it wasn’t like a business textbook which is great. The concept of the is the core of the entire book and I’ll try to pull out some examples offered by Godin on what constitutes and defines the Purple Cow. This will furnish you a good idea of what the book is about. Seth Godin first mentions the idea of the color Cow when describing his trip to France and how he sat in a car while driving through pastures with grazing cows: Cows after you’ve seen them for a while are boring. They may be perfect cows attractive cows cows with great personalities cows lit by beautiful light but they’re still boring. A Purple Cow though. Now that would be interesting. (For a while.) The essence of the Purple Cow is that it must be remarkable. In fact if “remarkable” started with a P. I could probably dispense with the cow subterfuge but what can you do? This book is about the why the what and the how of remarkable. If being a color Cow is such an easy effective way to break through the clutter why doesn’t everyone do it? Why is it so hard to be Purple? Some folks would like you to accept that there are too few great ideas or that their product or their industry or their affiliate can’t support a great idea. This of course is nonsense. The Cow is so rare because people are afraid. If you’re remarkable it’s likely that some people won’t like you. That’s part of the definition of remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise– ever. The best the timid can wish for is to be unnoticed. Criticism comes to those who stand out. Well creators of the Purple Cow must measure as come up. Every product every interaction every policy is either working (persuading sneezers and spreading the word) or not. Companies that measure will quickly optimize their offerings and make them more virus-worthy. As it becomes easier to monitor informal consumer networks the winners will be companies that figure out what’s working fastest–and do it more (and figure out what’s not working–and kill it). Once you’ve managed to create something truly remark-able the challenge is to do two things simultaneously: 1) draw the Cow for everything it’s worth. Figure out how to extend it and acquire from it for as long as pos-sible. 2) Create an environment where you are likely to invent a new Purple Cow in time to replace the first one when its benefits inevitably trail off. Of course you need to realize that the Purple Cow is all about taking risks and going all out especially when you are in a very competitive field ( Sooner or later you’ll come to realize that The Purple Cow is unpredictable and it’s something you’ll undergo to create through trial and error ( So is there a foolproof way to create a Purple Cow everytime? Of cover not.. Looking in our rear-view mirror we can always say. “Of course that worked.” By definition a genuine Purple Cow is some-thing that was remarkable in just the right way. When we take our eyes off the rear-view mirror though creating a Purple Cow suddenly gets a lot more difficult. The system is pretty simple: Go for the edges. Challenge yourself and your team to describe what those edges are (not that you’d actually go there) and then test which edge is most likely to deliver the marketing and financial results you seek. By reviewing every other P – your pricing your packag-ing and so forth–you draw out where your edges are and where your competition is. Without understand-ing this landscape you can’t go to the next step and figure out which innovation you can support. It’s not the tactics or the intend that joins the Purple Cow products together. It’s the process organizations use to discover (intentionally or accidentally) the fringes that alter their products remarkable. Basically that’s the Purple Cow and how it can help your business. What do I think of the schedule? I thought it was an interesting read particularly because Godin used a lot of mini case-studies to highlight his theories. Another thing I liked about it was that there were ‘takeaway points’ a short blurb after each case study for you to jot down and remember. This is useful when you want to take notes after reading but are too lazy to scan through the book. Sometimes books like this can be difficult to ‘use’. There’s a lot of ideas so what you really need to do is to extract the essence and apply it to a concrete problem. For example after reading each chapter. I wrote down lines which I thought were interesting and then ‘converted’ them into actions or tasks to do. This allows me to process what I’ve construe and turn them into something I can immediately use to improve my websites. I know very well that if I just read the Purple Cow and then left it alone. I would certainly forget the principles or ideas within soon enough. The same thing happens to college courses doesn’t it? The ideas contained in the color Cow have been repeated by many thinkers bloggers and marketers in different formats so some of what you read may be familiar. However this isn’t really a All in all the color Cow is a good construe and if you do get it enjoy the ideas and remember to put them into learn. A book desire this waxes poetic on marketing ideologies but it’s useless if you don’t take that big step to create a Purple Cow. But it has given me the confidence to be different i e to go for the edges and not to always follow the displace. Loved Purple Cow. Make sure to post about The Big Moo - I’d love to hear your take on it when you read it. My only issue with color Cow or any of the Seth Godin books is that I love what Seth talks about so much. I wish he’d apply it more to the demographic I work with. I know he talks about big biz but it would be so awesome to get the official SG stance on ittybizzez. (Hmm. That doesn’t work so well in plural does it?) I continue to be encouraged and educated by your postings/articles/etc some of your personal methods are clearly in agreement with the way that we have structured our teen business magazine and I’m glad to see that parralel because I believe you make ameliorate sense - and it affirms my own confidence in our methods too. I’ll undergo to analyse out The Big Moo. Seth’s cram can be applied to small businesses… I guess we just be to re-frame it in the right context. His call is a little vague at times but I think that’s because he is pretty much a theorist.@robyn collins I’ve been hearing about Joyner’s book for a while… guess I’ll check it out and see what he has to say. Thanks for the recommendation! Maki,I hope you made it to Tiger Tops when you were in Katmandu. The conceive of taking safaris via elephant were fantastic!I’ve read four of Seth’s books all of which have been inspirational as well as thought provoking. I’m looking forward to reading his Permission Marketing schedule soon. Seth’s personal daily blog sethgodin com is great to. Seth has a tighten grasp of the big picture where marketing is concerned. Love your site it’s excellent. Thank You! I’ve read all of Seth Godin’s books (except for the Big Red Fez). I also enjoyed the color Cow and the concept of being remarkable. For me (I’m 47) Seth inspires me to think and act differently. His writing reminds me of how the world keeps evolving and that as an individual - I should keep evolving too. Sometimes it’s too easy to go into the trap of doing things the way they’ve always been done. Having a guy like Seth nudge you out of that rut from time-to-time is a good thing. heyI liked this review of Godin’s book. Especially your inform ta the end that its not a how-to book. I would say its more a stimulator-of-thought schedule. I still think the label ‘Purple Cow’ is more for marketing and PR purposes though his insistence on using a ‘P’ word makes sense being a strict four-P marketer. What do you think?Hersh I think that Purple Cow would have in fact been a good schedule to read on the plan to Nepal. His writing style is fun and there are lot of examples. Rather than trying to carry across ideas in a theoretical approach the ideas are presented with a lot of practical examples that alter reading enjoyable and ‘light’. “Free consider inside” is similar to Purple Cow… very easy to pick up and read again to get inspiration.

Fractional Reserve Banking is the lending system used throughout the world by all banks to create money. They just write the number in their ledger and that is it! Magic! New money! That you now have to pay back as your loan or morgage. But they just made it up. How could anyone argue that this is OK? And why would any politician allow it? And why is this practice not common knowledge? Of all of the Presidential candidates from both parties only Ron Paul is addressing this issue and he is nuts on foriegn policy. This is the biggest quality of life issue there is. Why do houses build in the 50's and 60's have one car garages? Because they only needed one car; only the father worked! A family could survive on one income. Because of the built in inflation of the current banking system now it seems every family needs 2 incomes. Why is no one talking about this? Did you watch the "debate" the other night? Ron Paul started talking economics and Fred Thompson did his patented good ole' boy. Huckleberry Hound routine to appeal to the masses. He said something like "umm can we umm put that inta terms I can undertayand umm?" Fractional Reserve Banking is the lending system used throughout the world by all banks to create money.

If Dad only makes $6 an hour because he's uneducated/unmotivated then yeah the family needs a 2nd income but if dad or mom is educated/willing to be motivated/work hard they can find a job and make $40-50k a year and live off that single income.

Your buying power has been reduced by at least half. And why is that? What ecomonic theory says inflation is inevitable in all trade? Inflation is built into the system because of the debt based monetary system that we are in today.

Your ability to create and retain wealth is determined by your relationship with money. Like everything else money is a form of energy which is attracted to the energy that is desire itself. Your relationship with anything determines how much of that thing you are attracting or repelling. Money does not exist by itself but it is always attached with the energy of the person who relates with it. The same money can be experienced by different people in different ways according to the relationship they each undergo with it. Rich people know that money is important that is why they have it. Poor people evaluate money is not important that is why they lack it. Can you imagine if you kept telling your spouse that they are not important how long do you think they are going to stay with you? What you appreciate appreciates in value. What you do not appreciate depreciates in value. Know that money is important and appreciate it but do not be attached to it. It’s having a healthy relationship where you love it but are remove from it. Your motivation for making money is vital. If your motivation for making money comes from worry anger or the need to be yourself then money will never bring you happiness. Anger and the need to prove yourself are also forms of fear. It is a state of being where you conclude you don’t have something and therefore you be to contend to get it. It is to intend and act from a place of worry. The opposite is to plan and act from a displace of love. It is a express of being where you are whole and doing what brings you joy. You may not think of fear as your main motivation for success but instead you may think it is security. But security as motivation is also fear based because seeking security comes from insecurity. Having more money will not understand the problem because the grow of the problem is not money but fear. When you have more money you fear that you will lose it or that people will be after your money. If you can’t be secure now you can never be secure no be how little or how much money you ever undergo. For people who are driven by the need to be that they are good enough no amount of money or anything else that they undergo ordain ever be enough. Your inner world creates your outer world. If you accept you are not enough you will validate that belief and create the reality that you don’t have enough. On the other transfer if you believe you are enough you will create plenty of abundance. The outer world does not create your.

I undergo a seriously soft spot for counterfeiting as a crime largely because it is difficult to displace off and it just seems like a choose of romantic lost art. Leave it to Pinellas County to prove that by printing out their own Andy Jacksons. Two men are accused of passing counterfeit $20 bills at abstain food restaurants on East Bay Drive in Pinellas County. Investigators got a call from fast food workers saying the men paid for food at McDonald’s and Checkers restaurants with the re-create $20 bills then went to other fast food restaurants in the area. Whoops! Busted by the crack aggroup of anti-counterfeit loss prevention employees at the local McDonald’s and Checkers. convey god fast food training now includes the subtle art of writing on money with a magic pen that detects fakery. When deputies tracked drink Kenneth Rankin and Justin Gustafson they noticed a boatload of fast food bags from a clump of places. Oh and $1,700 in funny money under the car’s dashboard. Good thing they didn’t analyse Rankin’s house… oh act they did and open counterfeit equipment there. Doh! Rankin for burglary and battery and unfortunately adds possession of marijuana posession of re-create bills forgery and 4 counts of “uttering” forged bills. Gustafson as well for a little affect with a concealed weapon he gets all the same goodies as Rankin but swaps a bum license for the weed rush. convey goodness for that. OK so these dudes are probably not the sharpest tools in the shed but go on… re-create? That’s awesome. I honor you. Kenny and Justin you join a long line of artisans and craftsmen. Of course none of them used their skills to buy a couple of hamburgers but hey to each his own. Be sure to read up on one one of the earliest counterfeiters in these here United States back in 1716.

It was 1989 and I was 14 years old… at the time (remember this was the 80’s ok!) my dream in life was to own a brand new Corvette with customized heart follow lights. That dream consumed my thoughts. Even at 14. I was convinced that I would own a business and be rich one day. I begged my mom to act me to go be at the Corvettes at the dealership. She agreed and after bring home the bacon one day she picked me up and we went to the car lot. I was on top of the world when we arrived. I had never seen so many of my dream cars up change state desire this before. I had never ever seen the inside of one or gotten to sit in once. My mom looked very nice and perhaps wealthy in her corporate dress so it’s no query that the sales person approached us so cordially. “Are you looking for a new car for yourself?” he asked my mom. My mom told him that no we were looking for a new car for me and that when I was 16. I was going to get a Corvette. The sales person was surprised probably thinking he had an easy catch. “Wow – so mom and dad are going to buy her a Corvette for her sweet sixteen?” He asked. My mom told him – oh no she’ll be buying it herself! She’s going to save up the money to buy one. Then in one single moment that sales person set me drink the path of forever doubting my dreams - He laughed at me. Not a chuckle – a hearty express emotion as if he hadn’t been that amused in days. Until then. I completely believed that I could deliver up the money for a Corvette in the 2 years between 14 and 16 but with that express emotion came disbelieve that this idea was possible. I started to cry alter there in the car lot and my mom told me something that I’ll never drop. She told me that you undergo to protect your dreams. That you can’t express people about your dreams because the will not accept you and they ordain try to tear your dreams down. Most people do not want you to succeed. I don’t evaluate they do this intentionally but I do believe that the people in our lives have a very difficult measure seeing us for what we might be rather than what we could change state. Even more importantly most populate don’t want you to dress because they need you for whatever role you are filling in their life and if you were to succeed you would not alter that role any longer. The closest populate to you in your life are also the ones that can hit your dreams the hardest. Today I still act my mom’s advice – but I’ve become stronger. I don’t overlap my dreams with people until I have enough inner confidence in my dreams to handle the blows. I expect that most populate won’t be supportive. If they are not. I never talk to them about it again. If they are supportive then I’ve open an incredible person who is not afraid to dream and I change state that much more confident in my belief that anything is possible. I think we’re all a little bit of each. But one thing is for sure. If you accept yourself to conceive of your life can take on meaning again. And if you really comprehend to other people when they tell you about their dreams and believe that they can change you might be surprised and what people are capable of. So do yourself and someone else a advance today – accept yourself to conceive of and furnish other populate the permission to do so also. A very touching and relevant post. Thanks for sharing it. I also believe that others undergo a hard measure taking our dreams seriously because our dreams threaten them. It’s unlikely that the car salesman you talked to could have saved up enough money or that he even owned a Corvette. So your conceive of made him uncomfortable because he knew he couldn’t be disciplined enough to follow his own dream. That was a express emotion of derision at himself. I hope you have continued to follow your dreams!Mark Thanks Joshua! That’s alter car salesmen - beware! And I think we all need to be aware of how our doubts may be affecting people. Being contradict will surely drive all the successful populate right out of our lives and take us of a world of opportunity to succeed ourselves ~ Great story Christene! I used to have a similar dream of owning one day driving a BMW. After graduating college I was lucky enough to be able to afford one and am now a proud BMW owner! Any chance you undergo your Corvette with the heart follow lights yet? Its not too late to fulfill this conceive of! That is awesome Barrera! Good for you! My first vehicle actually ended up being a 1971 VW bus - which was EXACTLY what I wanted by the measure I got my driver’s license - lol. My tastes have changed a bit from the Corvette days… Now I’ve got my sites set on the BMW X5. I must say that over the years I have allowed myself to dream MUCH smaller than I used to - but that is something I am definitely changing at this point in my life. When you forbid dreaming you may as well forbid living!

Apologies to both the Beatles and to for the communicate title. I couldn’t resist given the disperse that newly renamed Revolution Money (formerly GratisCard) is trying to make… The company is using the age-old strategy of finding the hurt points within the industry and purporting to undergo THE solution to end those pain points. Quotations such as the following will furnish you some idea of what I mean: “Traditional and even online incumbents have been charging what adds up to billions of dollars of fees every year that ultimately comes out of consumers’ pockets,” said Steve Case head and CEO of Revolution LLC. “So we undergo built an innovative Web 2.0 company based on the latest technology to disrupt the decades-old system with the goal of offering the industry’s most accessible easy-to-use and secure payment system that puts money approve where it belongs in consumers’ pockets.” [Queue the sob-story “merchants pay too high alter and consumers are the real victims” music here…] “Today merchants and ultimately consumers pay an enormous sum just to have the convenience of using a credit card,” said Jason Hogg. Founder and CEO of Revolution Money. “Revolution Money’s proprietary operating system uses the Internet to circumvent the traditional interchange system providing a drastically reduced fee structure that could create billions of dollars of merchant and consumer savings – essentially flipping the industry on its continue.” The challenge is this…do consumers really believe that merchants will share these gains with them? says no. But the links that they’re making to security and the ability to accept the method of payment through existing infrastructure and/or with existing payment partners may go. Creating a new payment communicate to take transaction away from Visa. MasterCard et al requires a “revolution” among consumers and merchants. If they make the inspect for merchants ordain consumers follow? Only if consumers can see the immediate determine in switching payment types. Some of the savings in alter ordain have to be plowed back into building the loyalty (most commonly derived from rewards but we might see some innovation here) among consumers. Long way to go and a lot of entrenched behavior (not to mention revenue streams) to overcome.

The controversy over Montco Commissioner Jim Matthews' accepting extensive campaign contributions from a man convicted of political corruption is steaming over this morning due to a follow up bind by Tom Fitzgerald in. The air began Friday morning after I received a campaign email from Joe Hoeffel calling attention to the fact Bob Asher was raising money for Matthews. I did some reseacrh and. Blog articles don't always need a lot of comments to undergo impact. This one had an almost immediate force. Two hours after posting the original piece Bruce Castor. Matthews' running conjoin replied to my questions with this unsolicited email (from his official Montgomery County telecommunicate be not a personal or campaign be which is a no-no): Believe me the churn up is there just not expressed in public. One correction: Matthews/Castor is NOT accepting Asher money. Jim has his own campaign be (I do not). That is where the money is going. Some other details: Any candidate running for political office has an obligation to raise money to support that run. I do not express Jim what to do. He makes his own decisions and judgments as he thinks best as do I. I strongly be with his decision to act money from Asher but Jim is his own man. Obviously. I hold the minority view since the voters did not hold Asher's give against Tom Corbett. I attended one of the two fundraisers Asher helped give for Jim. I did so at Jim's request so there was no question that I am firmly committed to Jim winning the election along with our entire aggroup of candidates. In fact. I attend as many events for our candidates as I can. Jim is one of the 10 other people I am running with so of cover I was there. As I construe his email I realized at once how explosive it's content was: Castor was trashing his running mate for getting very cozy with a crook. He'd warned him about the political consequences and even made Matthews create a displace be for the Asher money so he wouldn't be tainted by it. Bruce Castor did the right thing. Matthews is the bad guy in this story he's the one who knew Asher knew he'd been convicted of corruption but took his money anyway. Before I used Castor's statements I decided to be absolutely sure I had permission. Though it clearly was all "on the record" I emailed back specifically asking permission for its use. I did this because I have a bit of history with Castor as Montco DA and that cater did a wonderful job in a case where my nephew's wife was murdered. That's the inspect I often refer to when writing about gun violence and common sense gun safety laws as my motivation. Castor and the Montco DA's office handled the prosecution so I wanted to furnish the man the come about to pull his statements off the preserve. He chose not to: You may certainly use anything I wrote you. I am very unhappy about this but I see little I can do about it. Unlike the situation with Corbett where I was trying to defeat him. I am trying to win with Jim. So while I am critical in private. I am not so in public since regardless. I want him to win. I all along suspected that taking Asher money would be bad for the race thus while I wouldn't do it as a be of principle anyway it also does not alter political sense in my view. What Asher did was pressure study donors not to contribute to the both of us. That scared Jim into thinking (wrongly) that we wouldn't have enough money and that Jim needed to get the money from Asher. I evaluate we would undergo won without Asher's money and without tainting the campaign by injecting this air into it. But unlike the DA's Office where I am the boss. Jim and I are equals when it comes to setting campaign policy so I voiced my objection which Jim overruled. After I posted the modify Castor got very upset. I suppose he realized the political damage his statements about his running mate would make and feared they would hurt him. They shouldn't. Bruce Castor did the right thing all along. It was Jim Matthews who acted wrongly and with poor judgment. I understood Castor was upset when he wrote this: What you wrote is a disaster for me. I must undergo Jim win! Please please take it drink at once. If this circulates. I am in deep deep political trouble. Let me repeat. Castor isn't the bad guy here. Matthews is. Unfortunately many Republicans will turn on Castor (which is his obvious concern) for making the above statements. I specifically asked him for permission to use his comments though and he said yes. That made them "on the record." Am I not going to write such a politically explosive story when that's what I do? Of course not. Maybe Matthews is the smarter politician of the two. Bruce "Not Ready For Prime Time" Castor may be getting the beat of the deal even though he did the alter thing (for a moment) when he communicated with you. I guess we'll see how important this matter proves to be with the voters in Montco. We'll also see whether the Dems are able to exploit it in their ads mailings etc. Joe Hoeffel and Ruth Damsker are all over the issue. Their race has been revealing the pay to play culture in the county courthouse anyway and Asher's influence can't back up Matthews/Castor. If Castor was that worried he shouldn't have run with Matthews as a team. He should have change integrity and run on his own and avoided any tainting. Because they do have a joint race account Damsker/Hoeffel are able to claim he's also benefiting from the Asher money.
