Penn & Teller Bullshit!

I’d like to open up a forum on what people think about the self-help industry. Personally I believe that what you think definitely motivates your actions. As far as the gimmicks of fire-walking, walking on glass, and breaking arrows and boards, I believe that they don’t do much. But it does add a form of reference to eliminate fear. Watch the video, see what you think. Again Penn & Teller are working on a bias of Bullshit. the 80/20 rule applies everywhere, even in the self-help industry. 80% of the people attending these seminars will sit and listen but not get anything out of the seminars, I used to be that way. The other 20% will gain the results. It’s a decision made personally to gain results daily, not by a seminar. Watch and learn and discuss.

Penn and Teller -Bullshit! – Self-Helpless

After watching a bit of The Big Idea with Donny Deustch I became increasingly intrigued by what his shows have been about recently. Todays episode dealt with over achievement and whether the skill of being an S.O.B. (Son of a b____) is needed to be successful. Big names like Mel Robbins (Make It Happen with Mel Robbins), Tom Colicchio (Tom Colicchio – Founder & Co-Owner, Craft Restaurants, Top Chef), Doctor Roger Schank (Founder, GrandparentGames.com), Wes Moss (Speaker, CFP & Radio Host – The Apprentice), and even Eric Trump (VP Development & Aquisitions, The Trump Organization)

Mel Robbins – Self Help With A New Attitude

Mel Robbins wrote an article for CNBC’s Big Idea called, The New Way To Play The Game Of Achievement

A highlight I really enjoyed in this article was this little gem she wrote, “If you want to be play the game of achievement – definitely try your hand at not being nice – that is – not being nice to YOURSELF…
try pushing yourself as far as you can possibly go? That’s what a true pressure-ridden, unapologetic S.O.B. would do. They’d unleash it on themselves.”

I’ll have to check out her radio show tomorrow. I’m liking The Big Idea!!!
