Life Update

We are in the final stages of moving. Everything not going to Nashville is already in a storage facility down there, or sold, trashed or given away.
Movers arrive at 0830 Monday, Feb. 1, to load the big stuff that gets relocated down South. Y'all.
We leave Monday afternoon to spend the night in St. Louis with Terri's dad Sam, then drive to Nashville Tuesday morning and that's that.
Terri is more emotional about all this than I am. Maybe I will be later but it doesn't feel like it. This is all business to me. Play the hand you're dealt. Get yourself back to where you're the dealer as soon as you can. That's that.
I'm very happy with the direction my brain is headed with emotional earthquakes.
I secured two more domain names yesterday as I start to get a feel for how all this might be structured. I am going to construct two different curricula. The first will be emotional earthquakes and I already have the ideas in place for about 8 units. I think 10 units seems about right. That one will be aimed at those people struggling to overcome some adversity.
The second will be for those who complete the first and want to do more or for those who simply aspire to do some more things in their life. I won't give you the name for that one yet but it is one of the domains I now have in my possession. That one will also have the ability to be purely personally focused or go a slightly different route for those that want to use it in a business setting.
I will set up a website so people can take the courses online if they choose. The basic format is a video intro by me for each discussion topic followed by an exercise followed by an online discussion. Granted online "discussions" are a little different but they're pretty common these days. It will at least afford an opportunity for Q&A with me and other participants on the topic at hand.
What I really want to do is offer the courses live. The online stuff helps people access the material but it doesn't give me the chance to interact the way I like to do.
Hopefully the very first place I teach it will be in good ol' Decatur, Illinois.
I figure why not? A lot of people know me. A LOT of people have heard me talk on different topics. It will be a good place for me to launch and see how it goes. I'll be back as Arnold famously said.
My schedule will roughly be Uber from 4am-9am (unless I get my mowing job!!), Then I will go to my son in law's office and work on these projects. I have to get some exercise time back in there most days. And then depending on the day I might Uber again in the afternoon. We'll see.
Occasionally, on some nice warm Tennessee afternoons, I might sneak in a cigar.
I am serious about the courses. I've done a lot of creative thinking. It seems like the more things I come up with the more things I come up with.  I've already had some spontaneous positive feedback that I appreciate. But like any other creator/inventor just because you fall in love with your own child doesn't mean others will. I am fully committed to the effort. I am fully committed to the What even though I don't really yet know the How. I'm on it baby.

  1. I am looking forward to your course! I went through some very emotional personal changes last year and as an executive was challenged on how to separate what was going on in my personal life from my professional life. Those emotional earthquakes are very real and all too common....yet rarely addressed......Looking forward to learning more about the courses you are offering!!!!
