Finding Your CORE

Tis the season of “Re” for many

Re-Invigorating; Re-Purposing; Re-Freshing … Re-Acting

As we transition, I believe it’s important to recognize (another
“re” in a way) what our own CORE is, and has been, throughout our life.
What common thread or pivot point has been existent through changing
seasons.

Here’s the acronym I’ll be working with:

Compass
Oomph
Repeat
Essence

It’s a process, a working model I’ll introduce during the Re-Launch of IDLFO show on Des Moines Amplifiied this morning (Monday mornings, 8 AM CT).

Compass is your true north, the where you’re heading. Oomph is about giving it your all, either fully in or fully out. Repeat is about getting back up if you get knocked down, pivoting and changing course (not starting over from scratch) if you face turbulence. Essence is who you are by your very nature (not your job title or porch pitch — but who you are).

What’s your core?

IDLFO Talk Show on Hold

In light of recent personal developments, I’ve decided to discontinue my short-lived talk show on WorldWideLocalLive.com

I believe there is still much potential there, and that publishing multi-media content (especially if able to capture and reproduce in various channels) is going to be a natural progression for those who have a desire to capture a larger and long-lasting audience.

This decision is strictly based on my own current capacities to continue (or in this case, not) with such a show.

The I Dunno, Let’s Find Out site will continue. Thanks for experimenting with me:-)

Business Baby Messes

Some of the best ideas get thrown away way to early. This also happens a lot with Social Media tools. Glad it doesn’t happen with our young children:

This was taken from a post I did on ConverStations awhile back

For Whom the Bell Calls

Picture this. Sicily, 1876… well, not Sicily (but I love how Sophia starts a story)

Truly, on this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell makes the first telephone call in history. Little known is that less than a month earlier, both Bell and another chap had separately applied for patents on the phone. When the other chap (do you remember his name?) was notified that his caveat was in conflict with another patent, he decided to abandon the project. Oops.

Bell went ahead with a “Let’s Find Out” attitude and the rest is history. The other chap’s name? Elisha Gray. Nope, I hadn’t heard of him either.

Drat! I Misspelled “Perfectionism”

Perfectionism < Perfectionish

And everything got better because of the mistake! Everything-ish anyway…

I like “perfectionish” a lot better than “perfectionism”

Great read – Ish by Peter Reynolds. Should be on the Business Bestseller Lists every year

Brain Munchies

Here’s a slide deck by a lifelong learner and teacher, Darren Kuropatwa. You can follow him many ways, including his prolific slide publishing. As you go through this presentation, notice the absence of a “Hear it and Hold it” learning model:

New Talk Show – World Wide Local Live

Here’s a wee bit of a promo for my new talk show on World Wide Local Live, Monday – Friday from 6am-7am CST.

We’ll be talking about Learning and Applying, Imagination and Curiosity (Imaginosity), and the science of experimental failure (which will probably happen a lot the first few days of the show). Join in via livestream to chatter up. Soon, we’ll be able to do video interviews — hopefully using Skype or ooVoo — to hear about what you’re doing.

Hope you’ll join in the conversation!

The Let’s Find Out Movement

Learning is a verb.

Living is too.

Let’s Find Out? Verb-ish

Let’s Find Out is a movement, an in-motion notion of taking action on ideas. With an experimental, enthsuastic eye towards success, sans fear of criticism or embarrassment.

Whether you call it Embracing Your OS!M, Safe is Risky, or give it the Oh What the Hey, Go For it Anyway, Let’s Find Out is forward movement, not stay stuck in your status quo.

I’ve never had my own radio show, but don’t touch that dial – it’s coming to a corner of the globe soon. I’ve yet to write a book without sharing authorship, but I have two coming out this year.

And here’s what I’m hoping for from you:

Your future not as important
as the present is now
But don’t get stuck in your status quo
New worlds get discovered
with both feet off the beach
Don’t wait for your ducks to line up in a row

Have a story of your own Let’s Find Out vision or vent? Need to build on an idea or gather strength from others? Drop me an email to mike@idunnoletsfindout.com and we’ll take action together.
