It Only Takes Some Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, Years Or Other Unit of Time to Make an Impression

Canfield, Proctor, Nightingale, Zagler, Hill, Robbins, Tracy, Aaron... step aside please..there's a new success guru in town! Walt Gleeson is a highly successful, internationally renowned author of motivational books and CDs and other products. With a career spanning over half a decade, he has enthralled readers all over the world, from Alaska to Florida and from Hawaii to Rhode Island, with such titles as You Can Do It!, You Can Do It! Too, Literally Make Your House Work For You and Become a Billionaire Whilst On The Toilet, Walt is the Puumaja Crew's personal realization and fulfilment coach, whatever that is.

I was talking to a woman once..but she made her excuses and left, ha ha. Anyway this incident reminded me of the short space of time we have in which we have to make our pitch; do you know, it takes in the region of two seconds for someone to form an opinion about us, so those first two seconds are absolutelöy crucial. I can't count the number of times I've ballsed up an opportunity by sneezing at an inopportune moment.

If you watch the movie 'a lie' (which incidentally I didn't contribute to, purely because I was, I think, in the shower when the phone call probably came through offering me the gig) you'll remember just how critical a soft focus shot and funny moving background is in making that ciritical first impression, something that some of the world's most notorious people - Sadam Hussein, Price Edward and that guy that ended up on various outtakes programs for going on TV and trying to juggle without having practised properly and cocking it up - will never grasp.

This is equally true of a blog post; if you've made it this far you evidently don't have a whole lot to do at the moment but you can console yourself with the fact that you're probably unique in having made it to the end of this, so you can at least take that away with you.

So have a killer day!

Walt
