Oh really?

This blind man is painting art with nothing more than “blind ambition” – as the video shows.

After watching this, I'm re-assessing my excuses. How about you?

Also, if you If you enjoyed this video, you'll love this one that I posted last year. Excuses Suck! It still gives me goosebumps.

Have a wonderfully productive week!

Warmly,

This video puts things into perspective, for sure.

I have no words after seeing that. What an inspiration he AND his father are.

His father has committed to doing something, no matter how much effort it is on his part because he believes in it.

Wow. Just wow. I think we all can learn something from this father/son pair. I know I did.

Warmly,
Nicole

It's motivation on speed, guys. Cliff notes version, if you will, of many great movie motivation speeches.

Here's inspiration from all the greats in one place, from Fozzie Bear to Patton to Charlie Brown.

Of course, my favorite was Will Ferrell in his undies. I love that man!

I know, I know.. I'm a goober and this isn't exactly “motivational”.  However, I do hope that it made you smile!

Here are a few serious quotes to make it up to you:

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.

With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” – Mark Victor Hansen

“Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.” – Malcolm S. Forbes

Have a great week!

Warmly,
Nicole

Social Proof.

Definition from wikipedia.org: Social value of unfamiliar people is ambiguous and requires a lot of effort to assess accurately. Given limited time and motivation, other people will often evaluate others based on how surrounding people behave towards them. For example, if a man is perceived to be in a company of attractive women, or is associated with them, then his perceived social value and attractiveness will be perceived to be greater. The implied cognition in this case would be “All those girls seem to really like him, there must be something about him that's high value”.

If he is seen to be rejected by many women, his social value will be judged negatively. The implied cognition is then “I just saw him being rejected by many women, there is probably a good reason why they don't like him”.

What does that mean? Well, I can say all day and night that I'm a fantastic internet marketer and a fun person to know. However, would you believe me? Maybe or maybe not. If you hadn't gotten to know me yet, then probably not.

BUT… if others who you really respect say it, then you are more likely to believe it.

Look at the kinds of social proof you can get in just 2 days on Twitter from amazing people –

All of these are public and are up on Twitter for all the world to see…

Are you using Twitter to its full advantage? When someone says something nice about you, are you putting it up on your website? You can darned well believe these are going up on NicoleDean.com! I'd be foolish not to put public comments like that from people who are respected, known, liked and trusted on my site.

Go back through your Twitter history and see how you can repurpose Twitter comments that people have made about YOU. There is so much more to Twitter than just “chatting”.

My 2 cents for the day.
