Me. But I keep him updated.

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

I know. “Jim, you are such a smart ass.”

Again. I know.

And you’re not entirely wrong.

I really appreciate how these provided prompts from Jetpack and WordPress get me thinking. The first hit that it inspires as far as thought go used to be my “run with it”.

I got bored doing that and decided to stop myself from the knee jerk, top of mind response and go a little deeper. Analogies and Metaphor are my favorite storytelling devices. Makes sense to me to use em then.

But I also like to make sure they’re pragmatic in their usage. Now, back to the point of the title:

My 51 year old machine really is the one thing I use everyday. Religiously. Lately it’s been acting up but on the whole it shows up and gets the job done. And I appreciate that.

As far as updates, I’m pretty sure I’ve got all systems set to “automatic”. Good with that too. It’s actually pretty fascinating when I stand back and look at what I’m doing in the moments. I move and act quick. Not that I’m super smart or a “genius” but I have been relentless in my mindfulness and dedication to learning everyday.

This “skill stacking” as Scott Adams puts it, really pays off. Right now I’m standing in awe of my actions of the past three days (including today). My “Toys are Totems” book is now available in paperback form via Amazon. Not only am I proud of this for its content and purpose but also the fact that my refusal to “give up” at any particular stumbling block, reinforces my core messaging that i share with y’all.

Why?

Because if I can, so can you. Lord knows I want each and every one of you to. the world needs the free thinkers. The risk takers. The bold that aren’t afraid to “offend” not for the sake of it and shock value. Instead to offend because you’re not afraid of adding your take and unique perspective to conversations that seem so guarded and fear guided.

Piss on that. Be you. Be offensive. However, know that’s a double edge boomerang sword. That’s okay too. It’ll help you and your “adversary” grow and believe it or not, find solutions or at least common ground and respect.

Firmly believe that. As much as o believe in the Spark that is on you that will help you be that better version that’s been waiting on you to let it loose.

That’s how you will set the automatic updates and your “machine” will continue to take you where you want and most likely want to be.

One of those spots for me is on Amazon and hopefully into your hands.

I believe in the message I’ve shared and I can back it up easily: writing it proved it and my growth strategy will show it even more.

Subscribe to stay up to date. Get the book and find out for your self. Or (and yes I’m serious) message me here and I’ll send you the pdf copy, free with no strings attached.

I want you to win. I have every intention to do the same. This is how I’m doing it.

Below is the gallery of pics of some pre visualization I’m doing to grow this books worth, value, scale and FUN through advertising, marketing and promotion. check it out.
