ASK and you shall....


     There is that old saying, "Ask and you shall receive."

     Yes, I agree that you will receive something, but what that something is can be based on the wording and/or interpretation of the question.

     People think that this time of year is about giving and/or receiving.  You give, you get...right?  Not exactly.

     You can give and give and that does not mean that the person on the receiving end understands what you are giving or if they can even use what you have been giving, based on what you asked for.

     Let's look at a quote attributed to Jesus.  "Give a man a fish he eats for a day.  Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime."

     Most people don't know what they want to begin with...myself included at times.

     Earlier today I was looking at an app for my iPad Pro.  It looks great!  There is a lot of functionality, etc.  It was not too expensive.  I did a little research and then asked myself...what am I going to do with this?  Do I want this because I think it is cool, or what I can do with it...for my needs.

     I did not make the purchase, because I could not satisfy a few questions that I ask myself when purchasing something for my business.  I have been through the, "Well...I just want it." and most of that stuff eventually goes to waste.  I don't do that anymore.

    So lets look at the platform I have created for learning the PinPoint™ Method.  The first thing I had to was to look for a system that could actually drive, maintain, and be a scalable infrastructure to move what I had created...forward.

     I chose a platform called InfusionSoft.  There are other solutions out there.  I looked at a lot of them.  InfusionSoft answered my questions about having everything I needed to do in one place, from database management, scalable automation, content distribution, and more.

     There are even things in there that I have not figured out how to use yet and they keep innovating  and moving the ball forward with how they do things from their customer service (which I think is the best I have worked with), to their application itself.  Its hard keeping up with all the innovation they are doing!

     The very quality of your life are equal to if not greater than the quality of the questions you ask yourself.  If you allow someone else to ask those questions for you, then unfortunately you will get what you deserve...good or bad.

    My question for you today is, What questions are you asking yourself to move yourself forward, backwards, or nowhere in your life.

     Until next time KO your obstacles by keeping it simple, keeping it safe, and train with PinPoint™ accuracy.

Conservative Kyusho vs. Liberal Kyusho

          As the world knows...today is the Inauguration of President Donald Trump.  Whether you like it or not, he will be the 45th President of the United States.      This blog post is not about the Inauguration, but rather Conservative vs. Liberalism within the Kyusho World.      In the Liberal Kyusho world, there are those who give you everything that you ask for, without looking at the bigger picture...Long Term Success in Learning Kyusho.      They over-complicate the learning process by throwing so much at you that you can never learn the finer points and details.      Liberalism focus's on change and reform.  I don't have a problem with that.  When your training or teaching in a complicated manner, the chances of success go down.  Fill your head with too much crap...all you do is slow down the learning process Big Time! ...

Innovation

          Why is it that the light bulb is associated with creativity or a new idea?  For starters, when we turn on the light...we can now see what was right in front of us...but for some reason...was not very clear.  Secondly, the light bulb also signifies the illumination of the mind through intellectual or spiritual enlightenment.      There are many ways to innovate.   Innovation can be in the form of the verbiage you use in, for example, a restaurant, "Do you want fries with that?"        One particular restaurant started using that phrase about 20 years ago and it has made them millions of $ in their coffers and put millions of pounds of fat on their clientele.  The phrase was innovative...the result...no so much...but we are only talking about innovation here:-)      I recently heard a story about Franchise that had grown its membership by 50% in just 7 months a...

Is Knowledge Power?

Image
In most cases, Knowledge is Power. When it comes to the martial arts...if you are teaching...then yes...Knowledge is Power or else no one would seek you out...BUT...Knowledge of what? If all one can do is dazzle someone with their BS, well...then the students, and the instructor for that matter...would have a false sense of security should they ever have to test their skills in a real confrontation. This is a case where Knowledge is being used to impress people...not to impress upon them the need to get on the mat and train. The key...IMO...is to train to reaction and response...and when I say this, I mean to do all of the above while understanding the nature of the threat level of the attack as well. There are times to just extricate yourself from the situation and there are times when the only way out to incapacitate the attacker, quickly. I have said this before...theory has its place. The important next part is to train the principles so that you so not ha...
