Ode to BEA
We're off to National Book Expo of a America at the Jacob Javits Center. I've got samples of my books including You Can't Get It Cause You've Already Got It! and Ichabod & Lilly created for Twilight Wish in the 'ole pack. Here's where Scripting for Success TM is very powerful... making a declarative statement of who I intend to meet and the desired outcome including the media connections and joint ventures I want to create at this event.

A Bloody Good Skit
JOAN: Are you glad you made an appointment online for your blood test?
JERRY: Yea, I would have been waiting for a couple hours.
JOAN: That’s rough.
JERRY: Yea, they seemed pretty disorganized.
JOAN: How so?
JERRY: Well the phlebotomists-
JOAN: The who?
JERRY: The people who take your blood also do the tests and manage the schedule.
JOAN: I noticed you wrote your name on the sheet like everyone else.
JERRY: It’s funny, if you had a scheduled appointment you have to write that on the same sign in sheet as the first come first serve people who wait for over an hour in the lobby.
JOAN: Wow, so it’s kind of the honor system?
JERRY: That’s right. What they really need is a receptionist, because the phlebotomists are doing everything.
JOAN: Can you imagine Count Dracula having a receptionist?
JERRY: Oh sure. It’s 11:59, Miss Flemington. The Count will see you now.
JOAN: The lights suddenly flicker and the “patient” is escorted by candle light down a dark corridor.
JERRY: After the 'test' the count says,
THE COUNT: “Miss Flemmington” you need to lay off those mocha frappachinos. Your blood is unusually thick today.
MISS FLEMMINGTON: Thanks Count.
JERRY: It could be an all night buffet for the Count as he stands there with his clipboard and medical dictionary.
JOAN: And providing a much needed service for doctors and patients in the community.

Actual Facebook Wall
facebook friend:
"feels like she can't do or say anything right lately."
Enlightened Comic: (touched by the anti-coaching bug)
"Your assignment if you choose to accept: Go out of your way to do everything "wrong" or opposite of what you want. Notice what your new adventure is... if you live that long and report results after three days or when you abort experiment. Oh and choosing what what is fun for you over what you guess would make others happy is the BONUS round. :-)" -Dime advice dispensed at 1:50am Friday... But if it works it will become a whole new form of coaching...maybe a religious movement like... L. Ron Hubbard

Importance of Original Knowledge
Principle #1: Don't trust retellers, get hold of the original sources.
A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, and not the original books.
So, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies. The head monk says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours later, nobody has seen him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. He asks what's wrong.
"The word is celebrate not celibate," says the old monk with tears in his eyes.

Switching Media Message Made All The Difference
Want to know the one word we switched in our marketing pitch to get the media interview requests we wanted?
We changed the focus from "inspirational" blind man who is a world-class figure skater to- "comedy" coaches and "funny" story tellers.
We could still promote _You Can't Get It 'Cause You've Already Got It!_ yet now it was through the lens of "funny", "jokes" and "enlightened comedy" from the perspective of a visionary writer and blind man/ world-class figure skater with a vision.
We switched from "look at us we're inspirational" to "let us help you use comedy and funny stories in your shows to reduce stress and generate more laughter for your audience". Suddenly we stopped getting calls from PR companies that wanted to sell us something. Thanks to the Media Makeover Using Comedy Success System TM, we now have the media wanting to spotlight our unique message because they know through our marketing material we could help their audience during what some media is calling "economically stressful times".
How would like to learn more about becoming one of our elite clients that follows the comedy success blue print that specifically tracks the type of media response our company and clients purposely planned on getting? We are only taking on 5 more new clients this quarter to walk them through the mindset and marketing materials that uses comedy and humor to get specifically orchestrated and measurable response from the media using comedy and humor as our focus.
