Outrigger Sailing Canoe
Begun work on my outrigger sailing canoe, based on Gary Dierkig's Wa'apa plans. It is a 3 section boat so car-toppable, 8 foot sections, so can be assembled as a 16 or 24 footer.

Slay The Monster
I've found that within a day or two of somebody attending one of my seminars, or meeting with me, that this monster comes along and starts attacking. The monster swallows your ambition and motivation. It drags you down with day-to-day problems right when you need to be focusing on the future. Pretty soon, what you should be doing gets buried beneath what you are doing.
The Beast is known by many names. Procrastination. Busy-Schedule, Later. Stress. Lack-of-Money. Whatever the name, whatever the reason, the result is that you don't succeed in moving on to the next step in making a profitable business.
The Beast can be beaten. I'll give you, right now, for free, the three weapons to defeating this monster.
Weapon #1
Just get moving. The Beast is slow, and can only prey on you if you are also slow. Once you start moving quickly towards your goals, the Beast gives up and looks for easier victims.
Weapon #2
The second weapon works with the first, and that is the weapon of knowledge. The Beast hates the very smell of knowledge. Bizshop can help you gather the knowledge you need to succeed and keep the Beast away. Check out our many information products on our Shop menu, or plan on attending one of our Seminars.
Weapon #3
The third weapon is perhaps the most powerful. It is simply not to fight alone. The Beast will always try to single out its prey. It avoids attacking the herd, but targets outlyers and stragglers. Call for help. Join an association. Form your own networking group with other entrepreneurs. You can also of course call on the specialist in Beast suppression - Steve is available for consultation
Stumble Ahead At Full Speed
Too many would-be entrepreneurs find comfort in delaying their actual entry into the marketplace by being never quite ready. They are too busy in their present job. Later they'll have more time. Or they don't have much capital. Later they will. They are too vital at work right now Later they won't be. They aren't quite ready yet. They'll do it later.
Later is the monster's favorite name.
Others just do it.

Find Your Own Adventure
Those who think adventure is dead are simply unwilling to find it. We have the capability today to know more information in five minutes than could be known in five decades a short time ago. There is great adventure waiting in anything new. Yet most people spend their time rooted in the familiar. The TV goes on when they get home. They take the same route to work every day. They haven't studied a new skill for many years. Then they complain about the lack of adventure!
Boredom is an internal problem!
Get out of your rut!
Learn a new language.
Unplug your television.
Get up an hour earlier and take a long walk.
Practice drawing cartoons of people you see.
Drive out of town after dark, just to look at the sky.
Learn how to give a good massage.
Take an object you use everyday and learn how it is made and then make one (bind a book, sew a shirt, anything).
Board an unfamiliar local bus, and just ride it all the way around.
Take a night class in an unfamiliar subject.
Really explore your public library. Devote a whole day.
Take the bus instead of your car one day a week, or ride a bike.
Make a point of getting to know somebody new.
Drive exactly 25 miles in one direction, then write down everything you see.
Pick a country you've never been to and find out all you can about it.
Practice writing with your other hand.
Learn how to mindmap.
Volunteer at your local charity.
Try any new food or drink you have a chance to.
Order #14 at every new restaurant, without looking at the menu.
Savor life.
We only pass this way once.
Life is an adventure.
Live it large!

Happy Clown Week! Have some fun!
