Holly Mosher – Bonsai (Celebrating the vision of Muhammad Yunus)

Posted on March 28, 2011 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

Nobel Peace Prize winner, Muhammad Yunus

has long been and icon for me personally. I aspire to create the kind of world he not only envisions, but is actively engaged in creating. I love the idea of a Social Business and though I do not agree totally with all the concepts Mohammad writes about, the Grameen Bank and the belief that business can make a profit and still help others is the basis for what I try and create in the businesses and things I do.

I was at a Meta meeting and met Holly Mosher, who told me she just produced a feature length documentary film that explores the work of Muhammad Yunus and his vision from microcredit to social business. In fact Holly was preparing for the films premier screening when we asked her to stop by the Lounge and speak with us. Listen in to our interview with Holly Mosher … you’ll love her as much as we do.

Interview with Holly Mosher – Bonsai – Mohammad Yunus

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/filmmakerforchange/share-muhammad-yunus-vision-bonsaimovie/widget/card.html

Holly Mosher

is an award winning filmmaker who brings socially conscious films to the public. After graduating with honors from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Holly produced a number of commercials and feature films. In 2004 she made her directorial debut with the documentary, Hummingbird. Afterwards, she produced the critically acclaimed films Side Effects, starring Katherine Heigl, and the follow-up documentary Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety.

She has served as a producer and executive producer on several films including: Maybe Baby, Vanishing of the Bees and FREE FOR ALL! Currently, Holly is in production on her second directorial project, Bonsai, where she is following the work of the Nobel Peace Prize winning Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank. Her films have received international press attention, and The Hollywood Reporter named her one of the top up-and-coming independent film producers.

Bonsai is a feature length documentary film that explores the work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus and his vision from microcredit to social business.

Why Bonsai?

“Sometimes I describe poor people as the bonsai tree. If you take the seed of the tallest tree in the forest and put it in a flower pot, it grows only as big as the pot will let it. There’s nothing wrong with the seed; simply we did not give it enough space to grow.

Poor people are bonsai people. There’s nothing wrong with their seed, society never allowed them the space to grow as tall as everybody else.”

Rebounding with a Continuing Demand for Cosmetic Procedures as 2011 Approaches

Men and Women are Spending More and More to Eliminate Signs of Aging as the Economy Improves

Story at PRWEB (Read Whole Story)

Tampa, FL (Vocus) December 13, 2010

Each year, millions of Americans invest in cosmetic procedures to gain a renewed sense of confidence and feel their best. However, as the economy experienced a dramatic downturn in 2009, so did plastic surgery spending, which fell 20 percent across the country, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Now, fresh data provided by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), along with Tampa Bay Facial Plastic Surgeon, Richard Castellano, MD, show more and more people are spending on nips and tucks. The AAFPRS states the number of non-invasive cosmetic procedures rose 47 percent in 2010 with further increases expected in 2011.

“In our own practice, we’ve seen a solid increase in all procedures from eyelifts to facelifts and, of course, fillers,” explains Dr. Richard Castellano of Image Lift in Tampa. Dr. Castellano’s practice specializes in performing cosmetic procedures on the neck and head. He alone has performed over 3,500 facelifts, mini-lifts and eyelifts making him literally one of the most experienced facial plastic surgeons in the United States today.

Wow Where Have I Been?

Posted on March 15, 2011 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

Hello all, OK so I never have been consistent or persistent about putting out Blog content on this blog… So saying that I am coming back to start blogging again makes no sense, but that’s what I am doing; so there.

The truth is I have been blogging very regularly on the Networking Fools, The Legacy Show, Bear On Sports, The Commercial Real Estate Professional Investors Group and other stuff.

Bob Schecter and I have been ridiculously busy going in extremely varied directions, trying to get out valuable and solid content for three or four different projects we are working to launch.

Networking Fools

Networking Fools is a real labor of love. Bob and I had been doing financial interviews and I have to say they were pretty good, but a bit on the dry side. I happened to know some speakers and authors from my days with Humanity Unites Brilliance so we decided to see if we could put together some interesting audio podcasts interviews with some real interesting friends.

At one time, a friend let me on his video show and I helped him get some guests and it was fun, but it was also live. I had an idea that people liked short video and long audio and I really wanted to stay away from the issues and problems with live recording.

Bob and I started recording our conversations with each other and loading them up on BlogTalk Radio and on our blog. We were a riot, smart and fun everytime we talked together, but our attempt to capture that on a recording failed. I believe we planned the recordings too much. Bob may have a different opinion, but I want to bring back that idea. Maybe we can pick 2 or 3 current news topics and just rip it up… We’ll see.

Anyway, we finally got some real neat people to come on with us; like Jordan Goodman, an old friend of mine that has written several books on finance including a a dictionary of financial terms that is somewhere around 800 pages long!

Luckily Jordan is not as boring as that book. His books are really interesting and I am not the only one that thinks so. Jordan is a favored guest on many financial news shows like CNBC. He have been on The View several times and the ladies really enjoy hitting him with questions. If you listen to our interview you will see why. Jordan feeds you with a fire hose with important, pertinent information you can use NOW to help you get out of debt and save more etc…

If that were not enough, we have lawyers talking about Non-Profit information and African Safari Guides, Gary Goldstein, the producer of the wonderful blockbuster hit Pretty Women, talking to us about his life and how he became successful by failing forward.

It has been quite a ride this last year and it is shaping up to be even more incredible this year.

I just spent a couple of days at Author 101 and got a slew of great author, agent and publishers to talk to me about how you can get your book published, or if you are a best seller, how to take control and self publish and on and on and on….

The Legacy Show

Bob and I decided that the Networking Fools is fun and cool, but we needed more content than we could produce ourselves and came up with the idea of adding channels.

These channels would consist of other bloggers with interesting and cool stuff that would help us get more listeners and readers to our site.

Our first entry is The Legacy Show with Lisa Scheiderman. Lisa is a well known publicist in Hollywood that has worked with many well know celebrities and with her know how and connections, is able to get top name celebs to interview with her. The greatest part is that Lisa is known for her love for the philanthropic and cause related projects so her interviews are very purposeful and highlight not only the legacy that the celebrities are living and leaving, but also their causes. It is great fun and very entertaining as well as informative.

Lisa and I met while I worked with Humanity Unites Brilliance and I had the pleasure of working directly with her on the Feed333 campaign. I was the Los Angeles coordinator and Lisa was the publicist and our job was to organize and get food, toys and hygiene supplies to the working poor over Christmas.

Feed333 fed over 12,000 families in Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco over the holidays and for three years in a row, was known as the largest one day food giveaway.

Lisa and I have worked on several red carpet events including movie premieres and Oscar venues to get well over 100 top celebrity interviews. Go to www.TheLegacyShow.com to see them as we trickle them out over the coming months.

Bear On Sports

15 year old sports phenom, Michael “Bear” Gates reports on the NFL, NBA and MLB as well as college ball and other sports events. We are doing a weekly show and hope to get some great sports interviews soon. You can check this out at www.BearOnSports.com

Commercial Real Estate Professional and Investor Group CREPIG

Bob and I have worked on this project for over a year now and have had great success building a membership of over 10,000 CRE professionals and Investors. We help them network and promote or find projects, funding and other resources.

We have done some great interviews and panels and recently in a joint collaboration with GreenPeal Events, we helped sponsor the Distressed Real Estate Summit in Los Angeles where we interviewed top lenders and heads of banks about the state of the industry and all about what can be and will need to be done to help the industry through one of it’s toughest times ever.

365 Thank Yous – John Kralik – Author 101 Series

Posted on March 13, 2011 by JW Najarian | 5 comments

[youtube hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vESUyUqXx_I&fs=1&hl=en_US]

365 Thank Yous Facebook Page

John Kralik was invited by Rick Frishman to speak at the 2011 Author 101 University Event in Los Angeles. JW Najarian interviewed John about his book and how he became published.

365 Thank Yous

One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer.

John was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams–including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge–seemed to have slipped beyond his reach.

Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year’s Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn’t have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had.

Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal–come what may–of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJGBujEmxKs&fs=1&hl=en_US]One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous–for gifts or kindnesses he’d received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who’d done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he’d sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John’s way–from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John’s whole life turned around.

365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message–and benefits–come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.

About the Author

John Kralik was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan for college and law school. He practiced law for thirty years, and was a partner in the law firms of Hughes Hubbard & Reed, Miller Tokuyama Kralik & Sur, and Kralik & Jacobs. In 2009, he was appointed a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court. He lives in the Los Angeles area.

Christopher and Toni Law on the Masai Mara

Christopher Law – Safari Guide

Christopher has been an athlete, Art Auctioneer, an singer, an actor, Philanthropist and since 1987, an experienced African Safari Guide. Christopher tells his story about first coming to Africa in 1986 and how it stole his heart and soul. He talks about the African experience and how you too will be never return and be the same. His favorite saying is, “If you have only two places to go in the world, you should go to Africa Twice!

Who is Christopher Law?

Christopher Law

Christopher and his wife, Toni Law, who is a legend in Hollywood and author of “The Gentle Jungle”. They live in Newport Beach and travel to Africa for Safaris and to visit daughter Tana, The Executive Director of Kenya Water Wells Trust and their 3 granddaughters that live in Langata, Kenya. I met them both at our good friend, Gene Massy’s office, formally Robert Altman’s office, who directed M.A.S.H. the original movie, Nashville and many more. It was a special day since I have been talking about doing this for close to a year now.

Christopher shared with us his incredibly interesting and full life that led us to speak to him about Duma African Safaris, where he has been designing and guiding safe, secure, custom, photo safaris since 1987.

Heinz Gerick (sp) motorcycle racing leather catalogue

Christopher was Vietnam Era Veteran, in the Air Force. On the GI bill he attended The Professional Theater Workshop in Hollywood, which led him to become a Model, and a commercial, TV and stage actor. He was in many commercials; Ford, Miller Beer, Spokesman for Revlon, and many others.

He also appeared on a few soap operas, like General Hospital and One Life to Live, had parts in a few movies and on shows like the original Hawaii Five-O, Night Gallery, 4 Seasons. On stage Christopher received great reviews for his role in Gardner McKay’s play, “SEA MARKS” opposite Mara Purl.

I was introduced to Christopher and Toni when I was on the member board at Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB). Christopher, and I are Founding Arc-Angels in HUB. HUB worked with Kenya Water Wells Trust. He also helped HUB bring our members over to Africa so they could experience and contribute service first hand.

Kenya Water Wells Trust

The KWWT Team and Happy Recipients

Toni Law & daughter Tana started Kenya Water Wells, to help with a severe shortage of safe drinking water. In Kenya, as in much of Africa, the lack of safe drinking water causes many severe problems including dehydration, starvation and disease.

Young Women Getting Good Water from Kenya Water Well

The daily chore of fetching water is no small task in rural Kenya and young women often walk as far as ten kilometers to collect what water they can, from a polluted, dirty, hand-dug wells, full of parasites and bacteria. These primitive wells are also structurally dangerous and often collapse when they get deep enough.

In Kenya, the high mortality rate among children under five years old is primarily due to waterborne diseases such as gastroenteritis, diarrhea, malaria, and amoebic dysentery, to name just a few. Contamination from human and livestock waste is also a major cause of water-related diseases, despite the sanitary disposal methods of most of the population.

Flies and other disease-carrying insects are drawn to unsanitary water sites and compound the risk of infection. All of these problems are exacerbated by the fact that economic hardship, inadequate education, and lack of public transport prevent many individuals from seeking healthcare in the early stages of an illness.

“An endorsement is obvious: “Let the supreme Safari experts, Christopher and Toni, create memories for you like they did for us. Magical! Images of Africa that will live in our hearts forever. It was better than our dreams, more amazing than our wishes.” Thanks a million for your expert help. You’re awesome!

Christopher Law is the insiders’ insider on African Safaris. Having lived there for two years, working with the great Archeologist, Dr. Leaky, he knows Africa, loves it, has family there and can Give what is affectionately called: ‘The cooks tour.’ I enjoyed the real Africa that he and his lovely wife Toni shared with my team and me.
Mark

Patricia Farren, Partner, Cahill, Gordon & Reindel

“Christopher took my son Harry Lapham on safari when Harry was 15 & 26. It seemed thoroughly well organized and first rate in every respect. Christopher has lived in the region and has many insider advantages in terms of access to unique private estates, and gamekeepers and he seems to have an unerring ability to go where the animals are. My son told us that at lavish tented camps in the evening, groups with other guides would complain about seeing too few prides or herds, or seeing only

other Land Rovers, while it was clear from Harry’s journal and photos that he saw an abundance of animals every day on an up-close basis.

He also learned so much about the animals, I assume from Christopher. To this day he can look at his album and say this is a certain type of antelope, found only in the Ngorongoro Crater, while that’s a different antelope, found on the plains of Tanzania. Then he would tell us how they came to develop different markings.

Christopher is a charming, funny, nurturing person with a wealth of good stories and local lore. The group he assembled for Harry’s tour were lovely families and artists, who bonded during the trip and continue to stay in touch. Harry still raves about the superb accommodations and food. Fitch Hattons’ served the best meals he’s ever experienced.

Finally, Christopher’s advance information on visas, shots, garlic pills and other requirements were clear, thorough and right on point. I’m sure that my son would be pleased to share his photos, experiences etc. if you’d like more information. He’s at sloppyninja@hotmail.com. For our part, we were thrilled with Christopher’s arrangements and care. Have a lovely trip — I can’t wait to do it myself.

Regards, Patricia Farren

Paul H. Casey, Founding Family of United Parcel Service

“I have known Christopher and his wife Toni for many years – originating in the art world. I have a game ranch in South Africa and live part of each year there. I hadgone on a photo safari in Kenya and Tanzania in 1974, and felt it was time to do it again with a camera and not a rifle. In January of this year, I joined up with Christopher and his group in Amsterdam for what turned out to be a most enjoyable trip. There were 3 men and 3 women that Christopher took very good care of, using the best of safari camps with excellent food.

He makes travel easy from one area to another, and game viewing is mostly from a vehicle. I would highly recommend that you go on what will be a most memorable adventure. Experience a ride on a camel, have live elephant walk past your vehicle so close that you could nearly touch them and have hippopotamus in the water outside your cabin.

These are only some of the many enjoyable experiences you can expect. In conclusion, Christopher is quite knowledgeable about these areas as well as the flora and fauna. He would make sure that you will see some fantastic sights. Bottom line, go – you will have a ball.
Paul Casey (age 77 and having made over 45 trips to Africa since 1967).”

I met Gary a few years back in the men’s room of a conference we both attended. I had no idea of Gary’s many accomplishments at the time, but we were both very interested in commercial real estate and I had some contacts and we both thought it would be a good idea to connect.

I do not remember Gary telling me about his Hollywood career, I am sure I was impressed, but what I really liked about Gary is that he is a incredibly creative and since he was a lawyer, he has a way of looking at things that I really needed then and now.

Gary is my go to person for sage advice and I want to thank him for being a great mentor and friend. – JW

Julie Hegle, Esq – Non-Profit Law, Structure and Grants with an Introduction to L3C

Posted on January 26, 2011 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

Julie Hegle, Esq Discusses Non-Profit Law, Structure, Grants and the New L3C

Juliane Viskup, J.D., was a lawyer practicing in Winooski, Vermont. She favors representing women and children and is one of a growing number of lawyers who use the concept of collaborative law in their practices. Resolution of conflict is as much about preserving the human as it is about closure. Julie worked with Vermont HITEC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating jobs for unemployed, underemployed and disenfranchised individuals in Vermont.

Julie Hegle, Esq

In the past, she has also been involved with nonprofit organizations like the Heart Association, and The Bellwether School. As a current member of a UN Committee on the Status of Women NGO, Julie’s mission is to support women and their children in creating a peaceful, productive and meaningful life.

NOTE: Julie Viskup is now Julie Hegle – Thanks

I recently met Julie at LeaderShift 2020 as I was trying to get a picture taken with Mark Victor Hansen. The picture did not turn out, but I did get to talk to a very nice person while I waited for Mark to finish speaking with an associate.

This was Julie Viskup, who I quickly found out, practiced Non-Profit law. Since I have recently been involved with building an association and starting a non-profit, I was very eager to talk to her. We were both going separate ways so we traded contact info and went on our ways. It was only a few days later that I spotted Julie at the Tapping the Source movie premiere.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg7-KhNey3c&w=480&h=385]
As I was doing media at the event I did not have the time to talk, but when I got back to the office I got in touch right away. It turns out that Julie’s work with Vermont HITEC allowed her to gain knowledge of all the facets of non-profit, law, structure, grants and many other issues that affect businesses that put cause and purpose ahead of profits.

I asked Julie to sit down with me and talk about all the various ins and outs associated with non-profits and social businesses with purpose and she graciously agreed.

We met in beautiful Malibu, CA for the interview and it lasted just under an hour. If you listen carefully you can hear the crashing waves in the background. I have put together a short video of our conversation and have added the whole interview to the podcast above.

Julie talks about how to use the questions in the graphic below to find out if you should go Non-Profit or For Profit and if you decide on Non-Profit, just how you should structure.

Julie Discusses:

The best method for determining whether or not you should set up your entity as a for profit or not for profit.
Different types of non-profits.
Gives great details about the new L3C entity structure that allows a business to declare purpose before profits
Problems involved in setting up a non-profit and how to best resolve them
Funding of a non-profit including grants and loans.
And Much, Much More

Salt: It Does A Body Good!

Posted on January 25, 2011 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

Salt; is Good for You?

I love the show Mythbusters and BullShit as they both change our paradigm and stretch our minds showing us that just because we believe something, doesn’t make it so. So often we tend to learn much of what we know and make into our belief system, from our peers and our parents who pass down, from generation to generation, often bad or at least misunderstood information. You may have heard the story about cutting both sides of the ham?

One day a young girl watched her mother prepare a ham for Thanksgiving dinner.

“Mom, why did you cut off both ends of the ham?” the daughter asked.

“Because my mother always did,” said the mother.

“But why?”

“I don’t know-why don’t you call Granny and find out why.”

So the daughter called Granny and asked her. “Granny, when you prepared your hams for baking, why did you always cut off both ends?”

“My mother always did it,” said Granny.

“But why?”

“I don’t know-why don’t you call your Great-grandmother and ask her?”

So the daughter preceded to telephone Great-grandmother to inquire why traditionally her family always cut off both ends of a ham before cooking it.

“Great-grandma, when you prepared your ham for baking, you always cut off both ends-why?”

“Well,” Great-grandma said, “the pan was too small.”

These stories and shows are always great because they point out that the information we use to guide our daily lives and the beliefs we have; always seems to make sense, but may not, based on further research and common sense.

It is this writers hope that if you are basing how you live your life, on your beliefs, that you have checked them out and that they at least pass some kind of logic test.

Of course, both “common logic” and “common sense” may be common, but not logical or sensible; and these shows prove this week after week.

The Point?

Salt studies are now showing that the salt scare your parents and doctors have leveled against you, for years, may have little truth or basis in science.

As reported by CNN as long ago as 1998 “For too long we’ve ignored the fact that blood pressure regulation is more closely tied to calcium, potassium and magnesium than it ever was to sodium,” says Dr. David McCarron of Oregon Health Sciences University.

But don’t start pouring on the salt just yet. Many people with high blood pressure still need to cut back on salt. “We don’t want to abandon the salt message, but we want to expand upon it and say that there are other things that are important, too,” says Chris Rosenbloom of the American Dietetic Association.

Recipe for low blood pressure

And the evidence is mounting. A recent article in the journal Science confirms: A salt-restricted diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fat-free or low-fat dairy products provides the greatest reduction in blood pressure. “The effect of low-fat dairy products and fruits and vegetables appears to be someplace between 10 and 20 times as effective as restriction of salt,” McCarron says. “The guidelines are clear — three to four servings of low-fat diary products, five to eight servings of fruits and vegetables a day,” he says” Read More: http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9808/13/salt.blood.pressure

Jenny Thompson in her HSI e-Alert wrote the following: “Lowering sodium intake may actually increase risk of heart attack and death. And here’s the proof: In three different trials that tested low-sodium diets on patients with kidney disease and heart failure, results linked the special diets to higher risk of hospitalizations, cardiovascular events, and death.

Yeah–THAT wasn’t supposed to happen!

In a recent Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Michael Alderman (a past president of the International Society of Hypertension) called for large-scale clinical trials that will hopefully produce definitive data on what outcomes can be expected in following a reduced-sodium diet. And why would we need those trials?

According to Dr. David McCarron–a nutritionist and University of California professor–there’s currently no reliable evidence that backs up the accepted recommendation to reduce sodium intake for heart health. Dr. McCarron says the recommendation is based only on opinion and the demonization of salt by health authorities, such as the CDC. And now I’ll tell you something you’ll have no trouble believing. One of the key points in the new USDA dietary recommendations: Significantly reduce sodium intake.

Real life mythbuster

Writing about the new USDA recommendations in Canada’s Financial Post, Dr. McCarron has more salt myths to bust. Last year he led a study that measured daily salt intake in more than 19,000 subjects from about 30 countries. The three surprising conclusions:

Americans consume no more salt than people in other countries.
Salt consumption in the U.S. has NOT increased over the past 25 years.
No matter how salty your food, your body naturally regulates your intake, so you wind up with a consistent overall intake.

This is why deliberately forcing down your salt intake is a bad plan–not healthy at all. Your body takes what it needs. And it does need sodium.

Several years ago, German research showed that as many as 1 in 10 seniors suffer from hyponatraemia (low blood levels of sodium). Hyponatraemia usually goes undiagnosed because symptoms are similar to conditions we associate with aging: fatigue, confusion, poor balance, and incontinence.

In advanced hyponatraemia, patients have hallucinations and may even lapse into a coma. The German study reported that a large majority of the elderly subjects said they avoided salt based on the popular misconception that salt intake causes high blood pressure. Gee, USDA, I wonder where they’re getting that misguided information.” Read More http://hsibaltimore.com/2010/06/30/sodium Back to the Top

Fools Quote Of The Day

Posted on January 25, 2011 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

“Character isn’t something you were born with
and can’t change, like your fingerprints.
It’s something you weren’t born with
and must take responsibility for forming.”
Jim Rohn: Was an entrepreneur, author, and speaker

This is a lesson we desperately need to learn. As a society we have, for too many years, assumed someones character, just by the job or position they held. Doctor, Religious Leader, Politician etc..

And as for our own character, we all believe ours is good, but we all make mistakes and may have done things we regret.

So how do we stay on track?

One of the ways is to come up with your list of values. This is part of writing your goals and mission statement.

Yes for your life as well as your business.

You can now take the list of your core values and weigh the decisions you make against them.

If you consistently are in-congruent with your value list you need to change the list or your behavior.

Also try to keep integrity as the number one value, as integrity means that you will follow your values in value order.

What is value order?

Let’s say that your value list reads like this…

1. Family
2. Health
3. Career

Then if you are asked, by your boss, to do a dangerous job on a Sunday, when your child has a recital, you would refuse your boss and not go to work on Sunday. You would instead show up for your child’s recital. You are in integrity with your values.

On the other hand if you do go into work you are out of integrity with your values. But wait… Nothing is always so black and white.

If your family needs the money to eat their next meal and you have cut every expense to the bare bone then you may be in integrity as your family does come before your health.

Not as easy as it sounds huh..

That is why the quote is so important. It says you are always forming. Staying on the path is not always easy, but the more we work at it the better we all are.

Bill Crosby – Wickedly Smart Marketing and Social Media Strategies

Posted on January 7, 2011 by JW Najarian | 2 comments

Bill Crosby; Not a Famous Actor or Comedian, but one of the hottest on-line marketers on the Web.

If you are a devotee of the social media circuit, (translation – you spend too much time on the internet) you have seen Bill Crosby’s face, voice or name, pop up on your screen somewhere.

If so, then Bill needs no introduction and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this interview. However, if, unlike us Fools, you actually have a life, then you should know that Bill is one of the few internet marketing guys that we consider a mentor. While he has far more to offer than we could put in a single interview, we did our best to get Bill out of his internet bubble as he joined us in the Fools Lounge. And you’ll hear why we intend to have him back again and again. Listen in!

We don’t care about the number of followers he amassed.. it’s a lot. And we won’t get into the amount of money he’s made… we’re jealous. When it comes to the world of Twitter, and making the most of it, nobody knows the terrain better than Bill, so, we follow him.

@BillCrosby

One of the things that we like about Bill, is his willingness to share his knowledge. Yes, he does it to make money, of course, but he does it in earnest. To that end, he keeps the price of his products as low as he can, and does his best to give more than he gets paid for.

Bill worked his fingers to the bone, to gain the knowledge, learn the techniques, and gamer the following that he has now. And actually, the Internet changes so very quickly that Bill readily admits he is still working his fingers to the bone. But that is exactly what motivates him to keep coming up with ways to “automate” the marketing process. With a clear understanding of how difficult it is to get started, Bill put together his Content Factory, the essence of which is to “Get Totally Customized Content Fed Into Your Social Media Networks Designed to Engage Your Current Followers, Get New Followers and Build YOur presence ON Autopilot!”

EmmeGirls – Promotional Models and Social Media Marketing

Posted on November 30, 2010 by JW Najarian | 1 comment

Emme and Bruce Porter

She’s gorgeous, he’s gorgeous … isn’t that enough?

Obviously not for this power-couple who are bent on carving out several places for themselves in the world.

And the old adage, “never judge a book by its cover”, applies here with all of its nuances.

We first got a glimpse of them at emmegirls.com, as many of their clients do, through a recommendation.

And, although their website is filled with the awful distraction of incredibly beautiful models, we managed to focus long enough to realize that there was more .. much, much more than meets the eye.

In fact, so much more that we were skeptical as to whether any mortals could actually survive, much less live their hectic lifestyle. Of course, we just had to find out for ourselves. Listen in as we get the story on Emme and Bruce Porter.

Interview with Bruce and Emme Porter on EmmeGirls, SEO, Business and Reality TV

WIN-WIN SCENARIO FOR THEIR CLIENTS

EmmeGirls Elite Model Staffing is the vision and concept of CEO, Emme Porter, a former Miss Massachusetts and current Washington Capitals NHL Cheerleader, and a graduate of Boston University. Though the company now has nation-wide reach, she still takes a hand-on approach in the hiring, so clients are assured that all spokesmodels meet Emme’s extremely high standards for personality and intellect … ok, and looks too.

But EmmeGirls isn’t just about pretty faces representing and marketing your business. COO, Bruce Porter, Jr., has parleyed over eight years of experience in SEO, web services development, web design, and technical training skills into creating a formidable marketing company whose staff happen to have … pretty faces.

When a client signs on with EmmeGirls, they, their company and product, find avenues for marketing that they might never have found elsewhere, or in so pretty a package.

Tina Loza – Legal Guide to Intellectual Property In the New Internet Frontier

Posted on November 17, 2010 by JW Najarian | 2 comments

Internet Law, has been dubbed “A New Frontier”

For Intellectual Properties Laws. It is very much wilderness, fraught with pitfalls and few, if any signposts.

If you have followed along with the various reports, blogs and articles, and there have been thousands of them; a few things stand out; the lawsuits against Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. And while those lawsuits are working their way through the courts, through appeal after appeal, the rest of the Internet world waits and hopefully, learns.

But those cases will take years. The judgements will likely be complex and although they will set precedents and stand as guide markers, social media and Internet commerce must go on.

How Easy Is It To Become A White Collar Criminal and Are You At Risk?

Posted on November 12, 2010 by JW Najarian | 1 comment

Jerome Mayne Diary of a White Collar Criminal

Click Picture to See More of the Book

Jerome Mayne, once a real estate lender found himself in a very bad predicament and ended up paying a high price for his actions

Is this you? You may be surprised to find out just how close many of us may be to taking a shortcut that could cost us dearly. Jerome talks about his story, what he learned and how it changed his life.

Read this excerpt from the diary. My First Day of Prison

Click Play to Listen to My Interview with Jerome Mayne

Since graduating from high school in 1985, Jerome Mayne – a regular guy, had a kid, got married, had another kid, built a real estate investment company, got divorced, built a finance company, went to prison, got cancer, lived, got out of prison, had miracle child, and then he got married again.

Needless to say, he has a few stories to tell.

Jerome Mayne is one of the premier speakers on critical decision making in corporate America. With his dynamic message, he has moved and entertained hundreds of thousands of professionals both domestically and internationally. He inspires and motivates business men and women to trust their instincts and make the best decisions in life’s most difficult of situations.

Jerome shares his journey from an aspiring young entrepreneur with a new family to his participation in a white collar crime, real estate finance fraud conspiracy with a faction of con men. His voyage continues with a hurricane of FBI investigations, criminal court and finally, the complete loss of freedom that comes with a federal prison sentence.

Jerome also illustrates that even after the psychological collapse of falling from the graces of society, surviving life is a certainty for anyone.

Jerome has received top rankings for his keynotes from such varied groups as Fortune 500 Companies including Wells Fargo and Met Life to professional associations such as the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals and the California Society of CPA’s. At the annual conference of the National Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Jerome was almost the highest rated conference speaker but came in second to the celebrity, Ben Stein.

As an author, levitra online Jerome’s book, Diary of a White Collar Criminal has been read by thousands. It is his personal diary of his life in the real world and behind bars. In it, you’ll find out if there really is a big guy named Bubba. As a columnist Jerome has written dozens of articles for business industry trade publications ranging from the Business Journal to the Alberta Mortgage Brokers Magazine.

You Might Be A Criminal If…

The National Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) compiled a list of behavioral red flags from almost 1,000 case studies. Their research indicates that, to varying degrees, these behaviors were present in the fraud cases that they studied. If you exhibit some or all of these behaviors, you just might be a would-be felon.

Use your best Jeff Foxworthy voice and say each one of these aloud to see if they apply to you. Start by saying, “If you (insert red flag), you might be a criminal.”

are living beyond your means
have financial difficulties
have a wheeler-dealer attitude
have problems with control issues and are unwilling to share duties
have had a divorce or other family problems
have an unusually close association with vendor/customer
are irritable, suspicious or defensive
have addiction problems
have past legal problems
have past employment-related problems
complain about inadequate pay
refuse to take vacations
have excessive pressure from within your organization
your life circumstances are unstable
have excessive family or peer pressure for success
complain about lack your of authority
have a roommate named Bubba

Ok, now take it easy, that last one was mine. These are red flags only! This is obviously, somewhat, tongue-in-cheek. However, I believe it’s usefulness is that, in general, an understanding of the behavioral characteristics of white collar professionals – those who may be most vulnerable to cross the line, will be helpful to you in your career.

NOTE: The Networking Fools no long exist, but this information is still great.

How to Be The Perfect Networker

Posted on October 29, 2010 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

How to Be The Perfect Networker by Ken Rochon

So who is Ken Rochon and what can he teach me about being the perfect networker? Well first he is the author of the book “Becoming The Perfect Networker” Succeeding One Connection at a time.

Ken is a passionate doer. He is a great networker because it is impossible for him not to be one. Ken loves people and places and has to go to every place he hears about and meet as many as he can get to.

But Ken is not just excited about meeting others, he has taken the time to put the new social media to the test, by joining just about everything and trying everything else.

Ken’s book is an homage to his triumphs and failures and he shares all he has learned. Ken is about the Zen of Tao and his book gives exceptional down to earth advice on networking while also taking networking to an almost spiritual level.

Ken shares his love of graphics and print with his love of travel and people and has put together a complete guide to the universe of networking. He has not left anything out. Ken not only belongs to most of the important social networking sites, but he has his own rather successful site and he uses his site to preach and teach his style and method of networking that covers every inch of the web from blogging to social media, marketing and networking. Ken also seems to take everything to the next step.

The Perfect Networker Site

http://www.perfectnetworker.com

Perfect Networker is a community designed to help connect you with business professionals from all over the world!

We are a community of collaboration… an open network designed to facilitate the needs of its members. We encourage our members to connect with others, share ideas, refer business, generate support for a project, take an online conversation offline and build a relationship!

Perfect Networker is a community of business professionals committed to supporting each others’ success. Take the time to build valuable business relationships by connecting with the members here and your business will thrive!

Yes this book is crammed full of useful information and some that seems not to belong like a page of Universal Hand Signing, but as you get to know Ken you will get why this belongs in a networking book. Ken has taken the time to learn to say hello in a staggering amount of languages and has added them here for you to learn also.

Ken is eclectic, funny, brilliant and at times a bit crazy, but it is working for Ken and many others. Ken gets that networking is not about collecting lists of names or peoples cards, but don’t ever forget your card or Ken will probably roll his eyes at you.

Bob Schecter and I got the chance to talk with Ken about becoming the Perfect Networker and I have to say I am not sure we got to the point where we actually answered the question straight out, but we did get to the hear from the part of Ken that makes him a perfect networker. His love and concern for others. He is now part of a reality TV show called the “Goodfellas” where the participants were choosen because of their philanthropic natures.

Ken is Becoming The Perfect Networker and he can help you become one too.

Ken was late to the call, which sucked and I have to say it took me a minute to warm up to him, probably cause he was late, but we soon got on a rant and went too far in too many directions, but although we usually do a fair amount of cutting and editing to make sure these audio podcasts stay interesting, I decided to leave the conversation as is because I wanted the listener to make up their own minds.

I also left the first 15 or 20 minutes of the call where Bob and I were waiting for Ken as this stuff was very interesting, as we talked about upcoming and past shows and just had some fun.

If you get a moment you can also visit Ken at www.KenRochon.com. Ken is an avid photographer and you have to see his shots he has taken all over the world. I look forward to having another more pointed conversation with Ken.

We hope you enjoy this Networking Fools Audio Podcast Presentation, a Network Alchemists Production.

And don’t forget to check out Ken’s newest book, “How To Make Friends Around the World”. It will teach you or your child how to speak 9 of the biggest languages in the World. They will never be the same when they can relate to so many. Sale price is $20 plus $5 shipping and handling. Order 2 and shipping and handling is FREE.

Empower 180 – Empowering Women in Business

Les Brown and JW Najarian

One incredible day and night, in September of 2010, I I got a chance to hang out at Empower 180 for the kickoff of their national tour. You can go to www.Empower180.com for more information and to see where they will be next.

What an incredible event that almost no one went to. I am not sure if it was the marketing or if people are just giving up? Actually I visited another event later in the evening at UCLA at Royce Hall and the event was a sell-out so I have to believe it is marketing.

Anyway I really hope they do better going forward as this is an incredible lineup of speakers.

and so many more..

These events are so powerful as they help us find out who we are and where we are going and they help us ask the questions of ourselves that we need to ask and many of the speakers motivate us to new highs and many others give us answers to the big questions. Especially now we need to get together with other like minded business people and entrepreneurs, because we cannot expect different results from doing the same thing over and over.

Many of my colleagues give me a hard time for going to these events, but I not only owe my life to my mentors, but owe my growth to allowing myself to be open to being on the learning line of my life.

Take a chance and change your life. Plug in, read, go to webinars and seminars… grab the great info and don’t buy anything if you don’t want to, but do put yourself out.

I was really lucky to find out from my good friend Lisa Schneiderman, that another event was going on at Royce Hall, UCLA campus. After getting the chance to say hello to Les Brown, and Garret Gunderson, I got a chance to meet Kevin Harrington who you may know from Shark Tank. This guy has sold over 4 billion dollars worth of products and discovered Billy Mays. This is a guy I am guessing you would like to get the chance to spend a minute or two with. I got to sit down and watch someone pitch him a product and then got my picture with him. Nice guy.

I took off to Royce Hall, but got there late so I missed Deepak, but did get to see many others speak to conscious Evolution. An incredible program.

A Call to Action: Global Thought Leaders Address Global Concerns

Best-selling authors and Evolutionary luminaries, Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield, Gregg Braden, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Jean Houston, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Debbie Ford and Bruce Lipton join other world-renowned thought leaders to ignite conscious action for a healthier planet and more peaceful human existence. The gulf oil spill, the economic meltdown, combative political views in our 24/7 world…we’re on a collision course of our own making unless we approach the mounting concerns that we face as a global community.

Siedah Garrett who is famous for writing “Man in the Mirror” and then getting to go on stage and sing it with Michael Jackson stopped by to sing a song she wrote for the event and along with the Agape Church choir. She also sang the most moving version of Man in the Middle. Here it is on YouTube. I only got the end. Awwww

The day was full of passion and great information and the night was filled with hope and the dream of a better world going forward.

Thank you Lisa Schneiderman of Schneiderman PR Firm and also my hang buddy Aggie Kobrin of Off Hollywood Media you both ROCK!

Veterans Day Surprise for JW from LinkedIn

Posted on May 13, 2010 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

As the founder of a few groups on LinkedIn, I get to meet some great people and do so some great things.

My U.S. Veteran group on LinkedIn has over 9000 members and I have the fun and blessing of being able to send a thank you message every Veterans Day to thousands of veterans.

Every once in awhile the site helps vets find jobs or resources to help them through some very tough times. It is truely a great feeling to know that I may have a small part in helping a vet in need.

Today was very cool as I received a letter from LinkedIn letting me know that my US Veteran Group had been mentioned in their blog and a press release. My hope is that US Veteran gets a big boost in membership so we can become a force for good in getting veterans the help and respect they deserve.

Here are the Links… Please share them, Tweet them, Digg them and whatever else you know to do.

http://press.linkedinlabs.com/LinkedIn-Veterans-Day

You could help us help a vet.

As US Navy veteran I am proud of my service and as a citizen of this great country I am proud of the men who put their life on the line for my freedom.

Do You Need The Flu Shot, Yearly Mammograms or DDT?

Posted on May 13, 2010 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

Do You Need The Flu Shot?

I have rarely ever gotten a flu shot, but my wife has made me over the last few years. I am just too leary about these shots and I believe that the body is built to protect itself. I know there can be issues with uncontrolled viruses, but I am not sure the flu shot is the answer and it actually may be harmful.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1K74Tnrrok&w=480&h=385]

Watch this video and decide for yourself. The sources on this video seem credible.

DDT

It now turns out that the information and studies about dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane were overblown and that if properly used was very safe and effective and could save thousands of lives… Just in case you are not sure what I am talking about when I mention dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane I will give you it’s acronym DDT. Surprised? Isn’t this major evil stuff that kills birds and fish, causes cancer and can make bird egg shells to thin to sustain conception? Yes it is.. except that the methods of testing were sometimes less than adequate and the findings overstated. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2428/was-rachel-carson-a-fraud-and-is-ddt-actually-safe-for-humans

How about breast exams? Women do have to be tested every year right. Early detection saves lots of lives right?

Self Exams:

(WebMD) Doing a breast self-exam doesn’t improve breast cancer survival, and it makes biopsies of benign breast lumps more likely.

That’s according to an updated review of research on breast self-exams and breast cancer survival.

The updated review, published in the Cochrane Library, is in line with the findings from the original review, published in 2003.

“We would like to inform women that there is no evidence from two large studies that screening by regular breast self-examination (once a month) improves their chances of surviving breast cancer, whereas there is evidence that regular breast self-examination almost doubles their risk to undergo a biopsy,” reviewer Jan Peter Kosters, MD, of the Nordic Cochrane Centre, tells WebMD via email. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/16/health/webmd/main4265062.shtml

Mammograms:

New studies show many issues with mammograms, their effectiveness and the yearly doses of radiation are more dangerous in the long run http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Effective-Are-Annual-Mammograms?&id=470074

I am not saying that because one thing may not be true, that all things are not, but it has to make you question the supposed truth. I go back to the story of the mother who cuts both ends of the ham off…

One day a young girl watched her mother prepare a ham for Thanksgiving dinner.
“Mom, why did you cut off both ends of the ham?” the daughter asked.
“Because my mother always did,” said the mother.
“But why?”
“I don’t know-why don’t you call Granny and find out why.”
So the daughter called Granny and asked her. “Granny, when you prepared your hams for baking, why did you always cut off both ends?”
“My mother always did it,” said Granny.
“But why?”
“I don’t know-why don’t you call your Great-grandmother and ask her?” So the daughter preceded to telephone Great-grandmother to inquire why traditionally her family always cut off both ends of a ham before cooking it.
“Great-grandma, when you prepared your ham for baking, you always cut off both ends-why?”
“Well,” Great-grandma said, “the pan was too small.”

9.5 Blog Writing Tips for Nimrods Like Me

Posted on May 13, 2010 by JW Najarian | Leave a comment

First I have no clue how to write, I do not know all the blog etiquette and have been spanked by a few professional bloggers so the first tip I will give you is to learn from someone that knows something.

These are tips I have either taken from others or found out on my own, but the help me and I hope they can help you too.

Do some Googling, buy a book or go to a class on blogging if you really want to excel. If you just want to get by read on.
You are allowed to screw up, and make mistakes. We all have and if you are not a great writer just getter done.. and don’t worry whether the local literary club is critiquing your work. Believe me that probably have nothing else to do on a Friday or Saturday night..
Have a point. If you publish a blog post then others may read it and it is so much more fun for the reader if there is a point. Don’t let yourself go off on too many tangents. Save tangents for new blogs. A great way to start or come up with content for your post is to turn your point into a question and answer it.
Get to the point right away and then expand on it. You can start with the title as the title is the commercial for your blog so it should pique interest and tell something about what the person is going to read about or get out of the blog post. Also give away the plot in the first paragraph if you can as people have the attention span of a gnat. You can then expand on the story as you go.
You should stick to subject matter that is relevant to your site, business etc…, but people do have other interests other than work. If you have a product site you may want to stick to the subject of your product, but it is sometimes good to step out of the box and treat people like humans by adding some more personal or interesting stories that the reader can relate to.
Short paragraphs of not over 3 or 4 lines is best. Readers seem to do better reading short paragraphs.
Blogs do not need to be long. You can blog a couple of paragraphs if you wish. It is not important to write long blogs as long as you have a point and make it.
Bullet Points instead of commas, make any writing more scannable and readable.
Speak with your readers, not at them. The Internet has turned marketing on it’s head and we have discovered that taking the time to relate to your audience as opposed to trying to teach or convince them of something is much more desirable way to get the point across.
Interview yourself to get great content. You can also have someone else interview you and record it. Then you can listen back to it and type it out to get your post.

Other stuff… (Bonus Stuff)

Don’t have over 10 points… Good advice for a blog, but you need 25 to 101 for a book.

According to HubPages – Too many promotional links = Newbie Mistake and Too much personal content that is only relevant to people close to you or is private joke with yourself = Newbie Mistake

Call to action – Yes and No.. You do need to, in some circumstances, want a call to action by asking them to comment that could be simple or you might go as far as to ask them to sign up and buy from you etc., but be careful you should give someone more meat than marketing. Sometimes you just have to give without receiving.

Yes Ask for the Sale.. but also… Ask your readers about what they want. That is the best call to action.

Here is my call to action: Tell me if this blog was good for you. Oh baby.. and give us your best tips you have learned about blogging.

Do You Need a Degree to Get a Job or Make Money?

How Bad Does Our Education System Suck?

Networking Fools Blogtalk Radio Show

Networking Fools JW Najarian and partner Bob Schecter are your hosts for a discussion on why the heck you need a degree. Bob believes the degree is a bunch of crap and that experience is a much better indicator of your worth and skill set.

Do you need a degree to be successful? You hear about the studies that show that professionals with degrees make more over their lifetimes, but what about people that get a high profile degrees and failed. Or people like Bill Bartman, who became a multi-billionaire without a degree?

Were Fools, not experts, but join us anyway for a discussion and debate on our views. You are invited to comment and tell us your take.
