CORINNE’S (not so) GREATEST HITS

This is my third year of blogging.  Somehow my second anniversary slipped by without my noticing.  Maybe that confirms that I am finally a real blogger.

Started out with three readers.  For quite a while.  Two relatives and one friend.  Glad to report that has increased to thousands.  Which should be a consolation to some of you new bloggers out there. It can happen.  Just hang in.  I would not brag that I am a “pro-blogger” but it is an incredible feeling to know that people actually read what you write.

This is a trip down nostalgia lane.  Thought I’d introduce you to some older posts today – for old time’s sake.   You probably never knew they existed.

THE BIG IDEA – when to bail out.

This caused a bit of a stir with the Law of Intention crowd.  Many say if you don’t get what you want you are just not doing it right.

A short quote from that article.

It could have been a great idea whose time has not come – or an idea that just wouldn’t fly if you put it on a helicopter.

LIFE AFTER DEATH? –  INTERVIEW WITH DANNION BRINKLEY

His book, Saved by the Light, was a #1 best seller.   Followed by several more.

A quote from that article –

He was the foremost authority on the “Near Death Experience.” An unlikely candidate since he was a hired killer and a mercenary for more than one government agency. Not a person with any spiritual background. Quite the opposite.

LETTING GO OF THE PAST

We can all relate to this topic.  It is difficult to let go of the traumas in our life and move on.

And a snippet from that one –

We get caught in the “if onlies,” hanging on to dreams which did not come true, losses – a loved person who has died, an unhappy childhood, a love affair which did not end happily ever after, a youth gone – opportunities which have disappeared.

WHEN YOUR HUSBAND WANTS OUT

This is one of my real “oldies” but continues to get hits every day.  Thank God for Google.  If it does not apply to you, send it to a friend who can use it.  Some good information for women and how to protect themselves financially and emotionally.

And she wrote –

Obviously, the only antidote for this news is suicide. NO. We have no time for that kind of thinking. No one is worth your health or your life. No one. And if you think this will bring him back – you are wrong. He has probably already made up his mind.

INTERVIEW LIKE LARRY KING

OK.  You caught me on this one.  It is pretty new.  But interviews are more important than ever.  If you haven’t read it, it could interest you.  Yaro and Gideon thought it was important enough to feature an interview with me on the topic for their Become A Blogger super successful course.

A tip from the article  -

This is probably the most important point that Larry makes. Your guest is the star of the show. Not you. Do not give your opinion on anything. Do not tell stories about your experiences.  Nobody cares.

YES –YOU CAN WRITE A BOOK

This is part one of a three part series.  This one will lead you to the others.   If you have ever thought of writing a book – and who hasn’t? – you might get a shove to get started here.

A few words from part one –

You have already started if you have an idea. Books are never written overnight. They develop as they go along. You could almost liken it to taking a whole steak and trying to swallow it. You have to cut it piece by piece to eat it. By the time you are finished, you have had dinner.

SALES LIES AND NAKED TRUTHS

Speaking of books – some shameless self promotion here.  I have been in sales all my life.  We all are.  I priced this book under ten bucks so you would buy it because you may need it in this economy and if you get one good idea out of it, it will be worth it..

From the introduction –

Why is this book different?

This ain’t your Daddy’s sales manual. It bears little resemblance to Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich - or at the other extreme, Donald Trump’s book, Think Big and Kick Ass…

This is geared toward you – the salesperson in the action – whether you are brand new, a multi-millionaire or a candidate for the lead in the Death of a Salesman.

MUSIC TO BREAK A SUB-LEASE – REMEMBERING WHEN

This is one of my favorites.  If I am in a bad mood, which is about once a week, I go back to this post and listen to the music here.  A nostalgic story with old songs that will have you singing along at your computer.  You cannot feel bad when you are singing.

A little intro –

Just for a lark, Don Costa decided to bring his whole band into the bar one night and cut a record. It was a very limited edition.

It was called “Music to Break a Sub-Lease – Don Costa’s Freeloaders”

From the cover of the vinyl record:

A happy gathering assembled at Jerry’s place. He had amassed 150 meatballs complete with the necessary amount of spaghetti and beverages to wash them down……. Several false starts were made as none of the revelers could read music …… and Don saw the need for haste as the beverages were taking their toll and he was afraid the thuds made by falling bodies would come out on the soundtrack.

Thanks to all of you for hanging in with me for these years and following my blogging journey down memory lane.  You are dear friends who I never would have known otherwise.

Keep coming back.  I’ll stick with you.  We need each other.
