Is the grass always greener on the other side? When I was a young boy staying at the farm of my grandparents, I would sometimes see a cow putting its head through the fence to eat the grass on the other side. Do you often stray away from your proven success tract, often thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? And then when you jump the fence, you realize the grass is not as green as you perceived it to be. It is then you realize the diamonds were already in your own backyard. I have realized diamonds can be found by simply revaluating the secret of my success and improving on it. Boring? Maybe not as fun as jumping over the fence but quite possibly more rewarding in the long run. I suggest you read 'Acres of Diamonds' by Russell Conwell, the founder of Temple University. His best selling book provides practical advice on opening your mind and making the most of your circumstances to find riches in your own backyard.

The YES Group Discussions At YES we always have great discussions - Presented by Nelly Camardo & the YES participants One article struck me from the New York Times and it seem to fit in nicely with last Tuesday's presentation by Stan Schultes. He spoke about all the technologies available to entrepreneurs, so we can literally become "virtual entrepreneurs".He spoke about information generated by all these techno-gadgets and this article went on to say that with this, a new breed of entrepreneurs is born. These entrepreneurs create software to analyze and index all this data generated by i-Phones, i-Pads, laptops, GPS devices, tablets, etc. They create software that can analyze web traffic, trouble shoot infrastructures, sort by demographics, frequency and other representations like graphs. Large companies, like Macy's, Farmville & Mafia Wars (the Facebook games), the US Government and others buy this software to get more familiar with the consumers of their products and to "tweak" and improve them. Erik Swan is such an entrepreneur and he created software called SPLUNK. He mentions that the amount of data being generated globally increases by 40% each year, so there is lots of room for opportunities in entrepreneurial start-ups. You can read the article in the New York Times (Dec. 25, 2011) More on.... Sorting the Data Cloud is the next big thing Our Feature Presentation - Critical Success Incident or CSI CSI - What is yours? - Presented by Doug Ross, PhD. Instead of asking for volunteers, Doug "turned the table" and put us in groups to discuss our CSI amongst us and present it to the whole group. He gave us an example and directions to start and soon after everybody was talking and exchanging information. Great participation! CSI can also be defined as faith, decision, a turning point, an opportunity. You know your CSI when you have reached your "sweet spot". Doug summarized each group's CSI after presenting to the group: 1) Daniel Pinkowski - A group of people made an action plan for him to take to China. 2) Joseph H. - One door closes, another one opens. Work situations change, you adapt. 3) Sarah Hunter - Follow up with clients - pay attention to details by sending cards. 4) Dana Chase - goes into retail, take a new direction away from Wholesale. 5) Fay Huang - Personal Growth, step back and take a look inside of you. 6) Marilyn Schott- Training - one on one, put yourself out there, do some networking. 7) Brian McCarthy - Reach out and find the best of the best, approach relationship to give not to take. 8) Dr. Pam Robbins - Increase the staff at her clinic - get out there and plan ahead.
