cool and unusually creative Halloween photo

I turn 47 today so I’m taking it easy.

and overall, i’m still young.  i weigh 190 and this morning in the gym I bench pressed 2 sets of 205 for reps, another 2 sets of 195 for reps.  all in all, not too bad, right?

after the gym, i spent a little time writing this month’s Seductive Selling Newsletter, and by the time you’re reading this, I’ll be sitting outside reading some Charles Bukowski, with a good cigar and some coffee.

then, knock off early and spend time with my family, and of course, dinner out tonight and probably a Manhattan, or a martini or some kind of drink if I’m in the mood.

i’m not much for making a big ordeal over birthdays — especially my own — but as I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to at least acknowledge myself and take some time to do something which I wouldn’t ordinarily do.

in my case this typically involves using my time for something I like, more so than actually buying stuff, or “thinging” myself to death.  i’m pretty fortunate in that I don’t really want for much, and if i do want something – within reason – i’m usually just able to buy it without any rigmarole.

that’s why for me, spending some time with a friend in a good conversation… or reading out back on my dock in the beautiful Tampa sunshine… or taking my daughter for a walk down the block with the dogs… working out with one of my sons… or going to lunch with my wife, are some of the best gifts I could give myself

that’s really the kind of stuff i like doing, when it comes down to it.  call it simple or call it boring even, but it works for me.

anyway, enough of what I like.  here’s something really cool.  my daughter is very creative, and so when it came time to choose her Halloween costume, there’s no way she was going to run down to the store and get something conventional.  instead, she made her own costume, and she actually won an award for it in school: Most Creative

here’s what she was for Halloween.  and “Yes,” she does look like her mom, THANK goodness.

    Craig,

    First, Happy belated Birthday. Second, you are an inspiration man! But the best part is that you are open, humble and down to earth, not easy to find these days; that said even less in a business setting. I’m having a 50/50 year. Personal finances extremely hard, business side extremely well. I’ve thought a lot about you these past weeks and what you have been through (yes I have your AWESOME book) and how you have succceded. I then realized that life is a balance. Sometimes for one thing to go up (for example a door to open), the other side of the balance has to come down. It will be that way for a while until the balance finds it’s way and actually balances out. By the way, thanks a MILLION for the advice you gave me when you read my copy a few months ago. You said: “Concentarte on doing ONE THING WELL and then do the same with the next task and everything will start to fall in place”. I started to do that right away and stopped looking at the bottom line. Results??? With two months to go, my sales have grown so far 67% past last year! Not only that, we beat our best year ever already and that years was 10 years ago!!! I would NEVER HAD thought that were possible. But better things are coming as well. On a side note, I’m not too far from New York and always wonder if I’ll run into you and the family some day if I were there. If you’re ever up there and see this older balding guy cryiing and saying hello and how much you’ve helped him, don’t get scared, it’s just me wanting to give you a warm firendly hug. Rock on man! You are all making such a difference. God bless you Bro! Peace out!

      Thanks Edwin… it’s just one day at a time really, for all of us. Appreciate your kind words. Stay hungry, keep at it.
