Both explained a lot of what I've seen happen in life and the office but couldn't really articulate (or control, and that applies to self-control as well).<br /><br />Alvinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-80045664958264274892014-03-22T08:15:03.431-07:002014-03-22T08:15:03.431-07:00Excellent, Sue.

Been thinking about this question,
"...Rory,<br /><br /><br />Been thinking about this question,<br /><br />"But I think it's going to take something creative to get traction, to get attention in the right places. Stuff to think about."<br /><br />Along with some questions of my own.<br /><br />Q1. Where do these groups, those that need this info, hangout?<br /><br />Q2. Do you have an elevator speech or short lecture ready that can introduce and/or explain why it might be in their best interest to pursue further study?<br /><br />Example:<br /><br />If you feel that young women going off to college for the first time are vulnerable, maybe a college book tour is needed. Campass Police, or what kind of campus clubs are there that, might be receptive?<br /><br />Most marketing boils down into figuring out where your audance is and coming up with interesting ways of getting your message or product infront of them.<br /><br />Colleges(Are there other places???) might just have the largest cross section of different groups that could use this information.<br /><br />Hmmm...Josh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-81202257070900005422014-03-14T12:59:01.085-07:002014-03-14T12:59:01.085-07:00Haven't you been here before?

In order to do that, especially with SMTC, they need to reach a different audience. FB, the podcast, the circle of friends all center on the martial arts world...what are the avenues to expand?<br /><br />Craig- Thats great. Don't worry too much about a spotter (if that means the same thing in Australian English that it means in American English.) Just get in and play. One of the first things I was told about judo is that there is no way to stand and no way to move that isn't vulnerable to a throw. You just had to recognize which throw and apply it ruthlessly.<br /><br />That's doubly true for locks. No way to stand or move where you aren't handing someone the gift. The skill is recognizing and exploiting the gift.Roryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483616030072739190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-63747091804429895252014-03-14T08:02:00.484-07:002014-03-14T08:02:00.484-07:00Thanks, I didn't know they had a new book out ...Thanks, I didn't know they had a new book out till this post. Bought it, of course, on Kindle. Also, in regards to the comment by Lise, "I have found a few things in ConComm already that are relevant to my daily life both home and work not to forget a few things about myself and I didn't have to rely on someone trying to kill me." I try hard to find things outside the actual subject matter that would apply to things that concern me most especially outside the martial arts and/or self-defense arena. One of many reasons I like the stuff these guys write. I also look closely to the Bibliography because books like the Gentle Art of Verbal Self-defense provided some insights I would never have seen otherwise. Grateful for their work.

They are the excuse we use as to not have to think for ourselves. I do not have to determine if this is correct someone already has done so. How freeing to be dependent on someone else to tell me what is correct. To be relieved of that great weight of personal responsibility. To be exoected to do for ourselves.<br /><br />I like the way Ayn Rand put it in Atlas Shrugged (Part 3, Ch. 2), "If you are not convinced, ignore our certainty. Don't be tempted to substitute our judgment for your own." Just because the experts ate convinced that they are right doesn't absolve us of our responsibility to think for ourselves.<br /><br />Unless you want to be a slave to the whims of others.<br /><br />Hmmm...Josh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.com
