Do any of you know where the term black Friday came from... Well let me tell you it's not about doing good things for you... It's all about doing good things for them. But if you're smart and aware and seeking to live not just a better life but one that is different in ways that might surprise you and make life better for you.

If every Friday you will think about joining the transformation zone we can help you be more focused every Friday I'm having a better weekend and living through the week each day in such a way that you make it a time of personal power and perhaps greater wisdom and wealth.

Maybe you could start that today!

You do want to do that don't you? Well first of all remember that this is Thanksgiving week and there's something that you can do that will really help people remember you. It's a very smart secret and I'm going to share it with you today.

And then whether you like him or not Donald Trump can teach you some lessons about life business and performing from his now favorite and famous and worldwide imitated dance in music.

So in 20 minutes you can be very much better informed entertained, maybe even smarter about how you can make 25 a year where are you not only will survive maybe you can even begin to thrive.

So right now go to the one of the million places you can hear and see the Trump dance turn the volume down and then take in the show for today!

Donald Trump made it very clear that if he was elected that he was going to transform the United States government in many significant ways. And he has been choosing people who he believes will help him do just that,

Have you ever been transformed and changed in a very significant way? Would you like to be transformed? With your permission I'd like to take 15 minutes this weekend to challenge you to do what I call a "Be Cause" Time for thinking and planning,

As 2025 approaches what would you like to Be. ,,, and what is the cause that you wish to pursue, the thing in your life that is very powerful and purposeful and highly motivating to you, do you have a cause? If not would you like to have a cause because highly successful and change making people usually do,

Because the world may step aside for the man or woman who knows who they are where they're going and what they're going to do. Might that be you?

Well maybe not every one of them but many of them, and for some reason many people have the pre-disposition that controversy is bad. Really is that so?

Do you know that? One of my missions in life is to help people have ISSACHAR ideas,,, and so may I tell you some stories share some random thoughts and perhaps suggest some ideas that might make sense.

Remember that the goal of much of life and business is to figure out how the world works, what makes sense, and what we are supposed to be say and do, and remember the word BeCause!

The election has been over for two weeks and the conversations, postmortems, and continuing challenges still remain.

After all he went through it was said by some that if Trump would win that he would really take revenge on all of his opponents, enemies, and even on people he just did not like.

It does not appear that that has happened so far and once Trump was asked about that during the campaign and he made a very startling statement.

So let's take a few minutes to think about that because it might be very helpful for you and I as we deal with some of our opponents, maybe even enemies, and even the people who have done us wrong or even just refused to help us. Just maybe Trump is right.

Let me tell you the story and then you can decide.

There is a lot of conversation going on still about the American election and what it means and how it happened. I don't care to join that conversation politically because that's not what I do.

However as a business performance coach and perhaps a student of the human condition let me just suggest a couple things that I saw that may have made some of the difference.

You are certainly free to disagree and I would love to hear your words for the conversation. But as always I hope it finally comes down to no one but you and maybe meet which is for both of us to ask where are we going to do differently that is better bolder braver and will make us stronger, and is there a way we can help each other.

I have over 35 years of business performance coaching experience, and I have found that most business people, and unfortunately most people trying to start a business are not very good at communicating...

And as a result they are not very good at selling, marketing, telling stories, and attracting others.

OK the world is in a mess right now and the American election which will have a significant effect on the world marketplace has now fallen into place and we know a little bit about what will happen with Donald Trump as president of one of the most powerful countries with one of the greatest marketplaces.

So with your permission may I give you your first lesson in one of the new realities of doing business today. Remember nobody will buy what you have or what you do until they are willing to buy you... Here's just a short introduction to that story.

It's been a week since the elections here in theUnited States and there's still a lot of conversation as well as confusion as to what's going to happen, and of course there is a great deal of speculation as to why Donald Trump was successful and why Kamala Harris was not even though it seemed that the contest for the presidency was quite even.

Well one of the reasons is that I pointed out many years ago was that Donald Trump was not only an entrepreneurial businessman, but he had a great deal of experience learning how to use the modern media and was the big star in a very successful TV program.

The man knew how to use the microphone and be in front of the camera... And most of the competitors against him had virtually no experience with the modern marketing mass media.

Well let me tell you the story and I think it could be very helpful to you because things are going to change and they're going to change a lot in 2025, and I want you to be ready to make your Mark, be more successful, live with less fear, and have a greater confidence in your abilities because you are learning how to be better at who you are and what you do!
