My first of several goals is to raise $50,000 by December 31, 2010 to pay off the balance of debts I incurred when I was forbidden (harassed and threatened) to write, consult, publish books, teach, appear in the media, own a web site, or earn a living by the association board of directors and property manager for the condo unit I owned. (When I moved in I was starting over and debt-free.)

Essentially, the neighbors I voted for to act in my best interests denied me multiple rights and freedoms guaranteed by Canada's constitution. (My story will be detailed in my book, The Kindness Experiment.)

Once I have rebuilt a nest egg for my golden years, I will then build a nonprofit foundation to assist other writers who also have been denied the right to speak, write or publish.

One step at a time.

I welcome your support in these ways.

1. Invite me to speak to your group, conference, meeting, or class on any of my lecture/seminar topics.

2. Retain me to write a persuasive letter that will recover reputation, money or property that is rightfully yours that was removed, denied, stolen or swindled from you.

3. Retain me as your Undercover Client-Patient-Guest-Customer to tell you what your patients, clients, guests, association members won't tell you but wish they could. (Appropriate for physicians, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, realtors, landlords, etc.)

4. Offer me a paying assignment to write a column for your magazine on how not to work against your own best interests.

5. Ask me to write a regular (paid) column for your newspaper on how not to work against your own best interests.

6. Invite me to host a call-in radio advice show on how not to work against your own best interests.

7. Pay me what you still owe me (plus interest) when/before you receive my invoice.

I'm still doing research for my next book, The Kindness Experiment, which is a rare opportunity to show yourself publicly as a Good Samaritan or HERO.

I've been testing people for 13 years in various situations. Sadly, many choose to be villains even after receiving a second chance to redeem themselves.

Will you choose kindness over mean-spiritedness, and generosity over greed?

Or will you do what many choose to do....work against their own best interests?

Remember: It's all material for my next book, The Kindness Experiment.

FYI, As of August 30, 2010....

1. I'm no longer... Conducting marketing, positioning, and visibility campaigns for authors, speakers, experts, consultants. Instead I will teach you what I did so you can do it successfully for yourself.

2. I'm no longer... Negotiating book, speaking and syndication contracts for speakers, columnists, authors and consultants. Instead, I will advise you on how to negotiate successfully for yourself.

3. I'm no longer... Editing and proofreading books for other authors.

4. I'm no longer... Representing speakers in the capacity of an agent.

5. I'm no longer....Providing professional voices on radio and TV commercials and training programs without a written contract signed in advance.

6. I'm no longer... Offering unpaid services as a professional home economist: estate caretaking, house-sitting, pet-sitting, home maintenance, home staging, painting, de-cluttering, organizing.

7. I'm no longer... Accepting telephone inquiries without an appointment from speakers, experts and authors who are looking for free marketing advice or no-fee campaigns. Instead, I encourage you to arrange a one-time, prepaid, phone consultation in which you are welcome to pick my brain in 20 minute increments.

Do something remarkable

Some of the people I encounter as I write my next book

Do something remarkable

06/28/2009

This past week 3 remarkable people died. As I near my 60th birthday I am inspired to attempt to do something remarkable each day from now on... (as I once did a few decades ago) even if nobody takes notice. I want my last years on this planet to be not ordinary or wasted.

What do I mean by remarkable?

It might be offering someone a free place to live in my modest home in exchange for housekeeping services. It might be deciding to eliminate people - virtually, not literally - from my life who attempt to distract me from my goals and insist that I must set my goals and aspirations far lower, in fact far lower than theirs. Or it may be sending a news release to a high profile news team. It may be running an interesting contest, even if people choose not to enter. Or it may be writing a 20 page tips booklet in a day on one subject. I hope every day from now on will be different and remarkable.

I want to wake up each day and do something unusual, intelligent, or uncommon. How about you?
