What is YOUR Excuse


The slogan of The Para-lypmpics says it all. “What’s your excuse?”

If there is anything in your life that is not the way you want it to be, you and only you are responsible for changing it. It is up to YOU to create the solutions to your life, whether they are big or small. Each time you give an excuse, you dimish your respect, dignity, and integrity…and re-inforce the habit of making excuses in the future.

Effectively, making excuses is just an attempt to rationalize your lack of results.

Friday Night FBR Crowd


The evening began when I stepped on the floor. I saw a round faced older gentleman sitting alone and made him my first target. However the young couple next to him flagged me down first. “Dance for her,” the mid twentyish kid said while handing me a twenty. She was about 5 foot 1 and a size 0. Usually petite women look for other petite women, but she sat back in the chair, and said “I always wanted to be tall and curvy!” We always want what we don’t have. She kept nervously tapping her foot the whole time, but laid back and just enjoyed the sensation of hair and warm skin.

Success is NOT a Accident


Post Image

I was waiting for my prescription at Walgreens yesterday, and they conveniently relocated the book section to the pharmacy area. So I browsed the selections, and this book caught my eye:
51aLHlrV9yL. SL210  Success is NOT a Accident

So I sat down, checked out the table of contents and was intrigued by this passage:

Another key in striving for success is to get over expecting life to be fair. A level playing field is a self-indulgent and unproductive fantasy. In this world, it will never happen, nor should it: Insisting on a level playing field disrupts your attention and distracts you from your ultimate objective.

Day 3 of 9


I’m in the first trimester of my longest work stint yet. Thus my posts have not been very original.

I was expecting the same fabulous forty and over crowd this week for FBR. That hasn’t been the case, and thus my first two nights were not stellar. Keep in mind, they were profitable which is essential for keeping a business going considering the plethora of businesses like the nations 2nd largest electronics retailer Circuit City which could not turn a profit.

The attitude we project at work is essential to success. Even if you think you are projecting a positive attitude, it doesn’t matter if the customer doesn’t interpret it that way.

Strippers in the Mainstream MSN News


Sex sells, but less than before
The downturn has been hard on smut vendors and strippers.

Playboy, that iconic purveyor of bunnies, hasn’t flashed its fourth-quarter results yet, but the writing is on the wall. Last week, Hugh Hefner’s company announced job cuts. More ominously, it is writing down at least $100 million in assets.

This is troubling because under accounting rules, companies must take assets off the books when they are deemed worthless because they won’t produce revenue. So Playboy is “telling you what financial performance will look like for the next year,” and it is saying it’s going to be bad, says one analyst who follows the company.

New Year’s Exercise


I did this little exercise two weeks ago at Leadership Acceleration Training.

Make Two Lists

What I truly Want in Life What I Have

Are the things on your list different?

Now, this may sting for some of you….but YOU HAVE EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVE.

Whether you want to attribute this to God, Jehovah, L. Ron Hubbard, The Secret, or whatever higher power…you get back what you put out there.

If you want something different in life, you need to do different things, hang out with different people, try something else.

Repeating the same action over and over again, yet expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

Rain


Only in Arizona does a spring shower mean “Stay at home!” And yes, it’s springtime here: the roses in my front yard are in full bloom and over six feet tall!

Babe’s Cabaret was slow. Of course, I was not on the top of my game either. The antihistamines made my head dizzy, and I was constantly straining my voice just to maintain normal conversation. I met some really nice folks from Portland early in the night though. The slight drizzle didn’t deter them from driving into Scottsdale from the golf resort.

Awesome Day!


I always work on the nights I have a good day trading the markets.

I bought two S&P 500 futures contracts this morning at 806. For my non-trader friends, that means I make $100 for every point the S&P 500 climbs. Those contracts are now trading at 837.50 So I made $3150 sitting at my computer today for a few hours.

This is an example of leveraging the I quadrant. There isn’t a job in the world that will pay me $3k a day to sit at my computer, flip between www.slopeofhope.com, www.stripperweb.com, www.exoticdancernet.com, and sip my coffee. A great day like this doesn’t happen often. I do love my Wednesdays though, I don’t have to teach a fitness class in the morning, so I can sleep in and catch up on the markets.

Barrett Jackson/NFC Championship Game Day 6


Post Image

Someone asked me how Panda got his blog name. He picked it. In his own words “Because everyone thinks pandas are so cute and so sweet….but get into the cage with ‘em and….they’re still A BEAR!”

Babes Cabaret was a sea of Red Cardinals Jerseys at 7pm on Sunday Night. After all these years, there is still just something weird about being in a strip club on Sunday night! Oh well, they were drunk and spending their bet money.

Day FIVE Rocked!


Good things come to those who work their a$$ off….

Babe’s was steady all night long with Iggles Fans. I even resurrected my accent to trigger their Friendship Hot Button. I never had a very thick Philly accent, but at times water comes out “wood-er” and the plural of you is “yous” or “yous guys.”

Met a bunch of guys who drove down from Vegas to watch the Iggles play. Also ran into a guy who was the bouncer at Mr. J’s in Orange County. He was “too cool” to buy a dance. C’mon…just because you worked in the industry at some point doesn’t mean you’re too cool to purchase the service that once supported your own livelihood.
