@Susan- Not such an exciting story, but why go into details?

Good synchronicity! I think we’re on the same page there. And having grown up in retail, I’m not sure it’s always easier to sell physical products.

@Andrea- Woo-hoo! I hope it’s a slam-dunk for you.

Thanks!

Tackling plumbing is brave. Not quite there myself but I’m really expert on replacing shingles on the side of the house. Have also become a fan of wood hardener (who knew there was such a thing?) and not such a fan of wood filler (nasty, nasty stuff).

I love synchronicity. Just this morning I was thinking about writing an article on taking the lessons of selling physical products (so much easier in so many ways) to information and service products.

Not really so different when it comes right down to it….concrete problems with concrete client centered solutions but I think it helps to think about information and services as if they were shoes or cribs or hardware.

Were you still scared when launching your first product?

And now back to work. Thank goodness I love you all so much.

@Michael- You might call that, “true grit.”

@Judy- My office supply fetish hasn’t gone away. But, I’m not always as aware of it these days. I’m sure it will come back.

And when the gel pens came out, I was in heaven.

@Marti- You’ve got everything you need! If you can, keep working it at our new improved Oasis. The community is here to help.

@Jennifer- It’s so true- I don’t care about your services either- even though they totally kick-butt and helped me in tremendous ways- but then, I knew what you would do for me and my office.

I know, that six-month course was a push. I just didn’t believe people would jump into a full-year course. But I was wrong. Thank goodness.

@Akemi- I know. Sometimes I feel like I just keep repeating myself, but finding new and interesting ways to shine the light. I’m glad you liked it so much.

@Daniel- Exactly! In working with other artists on this issue, it often reaches into the higher level needs, on Maslow’s chart. Such as the need for peace, or beauty, or connection to nature, or… depends a lot on the jewel your heart carries and what kind of art you make.

@Alice- Aha! Another office fetish person! We’re coming out of the woodwork!

Yours in writing implements, Alice

I am an artist, and I might just think “oh, my customers want art for their walls.” But no, very few people wake up and think to themselves “gosh, I need to pick up some milk, sandpaper, and some art for the livingroom.” So the challenge is, what is their problem that my art can solve.

The quest continues!

I’m thrilled you’re moving to a 1-year model for the OTM course, Mark. The 6-month version was a great experience for me, yet it took longer than that to see results. Way to go!

Wish I could take Moneyflow all over again! (And maybe I will someday.)

Happy Birthday to all of you!
