Uniquely Me Lifebook

The Favre Fiasco continues – each side pointing a finger at the other claiming this that or the other was done against the best interests of settling the issue between them.

The more I listen to what’s being said on the news and other media sites, the more I realize one thing: the Green Bay Packers began to revise their roadmap on the day that Favre announced his retirement; Brett Favre did nothing to plan for his career and life as it would be after football.

Both the Green Bay Packers and Brett Favre are now being blown about by the fickle winds of the press and the fans. No matter what happens no one will emerge from this situation a ‘winner’. All because Mr. Favre never thought beyond the gridiron and determined who he wanted to be after his football playing days came to an end.

And for that lack of a roadmap or lifeplan, a whole lot of people are left in turmoil. The Green Bay Packers as a team, Aaron Rodgers, and the team’s fans. No matter what happens, a lot of people are going to be left unhappy.

We live in an interdependent society; our actions and decisions affect those around us. When we neglect to figure out what we want in our lives, we are left to the not so tender mercies of those around us. Having lost sight of what we truly want, we end up playing a game of “keep up with the Joneses,” or following after the latest “guru” who promises us a life of peace and satisfaction.

No matter your age, it’s never too late to turn things around and regain your true self. All it takes is the willingness to devote a bit of time and honesty to the search. The “Uniquely Me Lifebook” was created as a tool to assist you on this journey. Check out the free sampler and when you have had time to work through those questions, I know you’ll see some benefit.

Anyone who follows professional football will have heard by now of controversy Brett Favre recently generated with his “un-retirement.” After the team has gone ahead, training a new QB to take the field when the season starts , he declares that he no longer wants to be retired and demands to be reinstated in his former position.

The previous season he kept the Green Bay fans on tenterhooks with the “Will he? Won’t he?” drama. As a result the team was unsure how to proceed and the season performance reflected that. At the end of the season he declared that he was retiring from the game. The Packer’s management moved on, training a new Quarterback to run the plays.

Shortly before the team was due to report for Training Camp this year, Bret Favre decided that he wanted to come back. He expected the team to set aside all the off-season prep work they had done and that Aaron Rodgers should be happy to step aside and resign himself to playing second string for an unknown number of years.

It appears to me that Brett Favre’s biggest problem is that he never bothered to give any thought to what he would do with himself after he left the game of football. It has been his main focus for many years now. This spring when he realized that without football he had nothing to do, he decided to “un-retire” just to have something to fill his days again.

This can happen to any of us – it certainly happened to me. We become focused on our job, our family, or some hobby to the extent that we can no longer “see the forest for the trees” right in front of us. A couple of years ago, I began to realize that I was in that position. I was living from day to day and paycheck to paycheck with no thought to where I wanted to be.

As I realized what was happening, I began to ask myself a number of questions about what I truly wanted to have in my life. The result has been an ongoing process of self-discovery; of things I had maybe dreamed about when I was child. Working my way through the questions and sharing what I was discovering with my mentor led to the creation of the Uniquely Me LifeBook – a tool to guide individuals and couples along the path to living the life they truly love to live.

Now that I’m realizing what I want and don’t want in my life, it is much easier to say “no” when necessary. “No” to demands on my time, “no” to the temptation of impulse buying, and “no” to being pushed or pulled by the media advertising that bombards us every single day. I am once again discovering who I am and I am happy with that.

Perhaps I should send a copy of the Uniquely Me LifeBook to Brett Favre. It may help him to move beyond the gridiron.

Whether you dive into the deep waters or wade out from the shore, diving into Lake Entrepreneur is an adventure both scary and superb.

Scary – because you are doing something you’ve never done before. You don’t really know what’s under the seemingly calm surface.

Superb – because you are doing something you’ve never done before. It’s both exciting and satisfying to see an idea you had become reality and go out to help others.

Once in Lake Entrepreneur I became aware of the currents and hazards of swimming there. There is much I don’t know or else know very little about – marketing plans, business plans, promotion – that I need to learn something about quickly. But I am buoyed up by the support I have received from a splendid group of friends that have been willing to teach me how and assist me in doing things in the most effective way. In return, I buoy them up by sharing my own ability to see things from new and “outside of the box’ perspectives. Without them, I would be just another statistic, a drowning victim who didn’t survive the plunge into Lake Entrepreneur.

On June 15, 2008, I dove into Lake Entrepreneur with the introduction of the “Uniquely Me LifeBook” to the market. A different approach to self-improvement, The LifeBook provides no pat answers or “one size fits most” approaches to creating and living a life you can love. Rather, it encourages each person to look within to find what makes life wonderful.

By working through the questions regarding major life components – home, family, relationships, career, education, etc. – anyone can begin the journey to creating the life they love to live. Answers should not be construed as being “set in stone.” No matter what the goal, there any number of ways of reaching it. The LifeBook can help each person to clarify his or her goals and keep on track no matter what happens.

Whether you are considering a swim in Lake Entrepreneur, or just want to improve the life you currently live, the LifeBook can help you. Not only do you get the questions to help you along, you also get membership in the private Yahoo Support Group “Life Support” and access to my Skype Conference Room where you’ll have the opportunity to talk me and with other users of the LifeBook.

If you feel there has to be more to life than working to collect a paycheck, order your very own copy of the “Uniquely Me LifeBook” today to go from ‘just existing” to “Living Out Loud.”Order Now

In the process of getting the word out about the “Uniquely Me LifeBook,” my biggest fear has been doing interviews. I was afraid of tripping over my words or not being able to articulate my thoughts in a coherent manner.

I’ve done three interviews so far and they’ve been such fun. The interviewers have been pleasant and easy to talk to; I forgot that I was talking to an interviewer — it felt so much like talking to a good friend.

Today, I did an interview that will be posted on Blog Talk Radio on June 16^th. Sandra Weber was a great person to work with. The entire interview felt as though we were having an enjoyable conversation than an interview. I do think that one of the things that make it easier is the fact that I’m talking about something I really and truly believe in. Plus I am convinced that the LifeBook is something that everyone can benefit from using.

Now that the interview has been completed and is in the can – so to speak – I’m off to do some serious cooking for the week. Going to try my hand at making meat pies or pasties as they are called I find that it’s much easier to do major cooking on the weekend and enjoy it all week long rather than scramble to put something healthy together when I get home after work.

Greetings!

I am excited to have my new site up and going. I’m still a bit new to blogging and WordPress. Please be patient with me as I start using all the wonderful things that are here to help me follow my passion, which is helping people solve problems and become the best “me” they can be.
