Play to Win Within (05/20/09)

Hello Amigo,

Ya know...
The more I work into this EnlightenUpment project, the more I am able
to see the games of life and the ways to play them. It's so simple...just
as with any board game or outdoor team sport, life is a series of circum-
stances that we get to navigate, with varying degrees of grace and ease.
None of it is to be taken too seriously, but we should most definitely in-
vest enough energy to keep the stakes worth playing...while keeping in
mind that it IS still a game.

And as with any game, there are things we learn along the way that can
help us play more powerfully, and have more fun with the experience. It's
no fun to play high-stakes poker with a table full of sharks when you don't
know a straight from a flush and your mortgage is on the line.

So what do we do? We learn a thing or two. We step back long enough
to see the wisest ways to play, and we ask more experienced players
for tips along the way. We stand on the shoulders of giants and slam the
rock through the hoop.
And all the while, we keep playing.

This weekend, we have 2 awesome opportunities to do just that.

The first falls on Friday, when my dear brother, Max, hosts an amazing
marketing seminar in Santa Monica. Over the last year, I've watched this
guy go from earning $4G a month to $50G every 30 days. It's stupid crazy
the way this kid moves through the business game. He's focused his att-
ention there, and he's got some stuff to share. I'll be there. Hopefully you
will, too.
I'd love to see you earning what you're worth.

Max's Marketing Mind Intensive
A One-Day Event Where You Will Learn Cutting Edge

positive response so grab a spot now if you want to learn
how to make more money, reach more people, and do
more good in your business.

Word.

The second is, of course, EnlightenUpment on Saturday. This 4 hour Play-
ful Intensive based in Improv, Movement, Music and Connection is your
chance to learn the inner-game approach to living on the stage of life. We've
blended the teachings of the sages with the principles of Improv to bring you
a half day of play and exploration of the self, experientially extracting you
from your analytical headspace and dropping you directly into the moment,
into your body, and into your highest state of genius. It's kinda like yoga and
transformation work and playtime and free expression and acting, only awe-
somer.
