Taking Action Videos

Sharon Ayn joined us on the show today. She is the author of five books, including the newly released Create Your Own Reality: The Ancient Wisdom. Sharon has made many appearances on radio and television, including the nationally syndicated radio show, Minding Your Business, and an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. . . What inspired you to write your latest book? . . I work with entrepreneurs and people who have been downsized, and I ve found one thing that s consistent. People know they could do better, work less, and make more money, but without someone stimulating their imagination, it s very difficult to go through a change. So the book is designed to help people realize that, no matter what s going on in their life, if they take one step or enroll one person at a time, they can change anything that isn t the way they wanted it. . When we talked before our interview, you said that this book goes beyond where The Secret took us. . . Exactly. I love the fact that The Secret brought consciousness to so many people about staying positive, but the one thing people missed is being in action. You have to be in action. It s not enough just to think about it. You have to take a proactive role in your life. . What do you think keeps people from taking action what is it that holds people back? . . Some people truly believe that they re not entitled. Some people think it s too much work to get what they want. Other people are too overwhelmed by what s first, so they just stay at what they re doing even if it s not what they want. . For someone who feels that, what would be the one thing you would tell them to work on right now? . . Make a list of all the things you want to change, but put it in the positive. I work with clients who want a better job. I get them to describe what it s like to work at the company, what their tasks are, what the people are like that they work with. And then backtrack how do we get to that point? So for anything that you want to change, what is the first step you can take to be in control? Because I think a lot of this is people feeling that they are out of control of their own lives. . That is awesome there s a lot of practical advice that people can use right away in this book. . . It s simple knowledge that most people don t apply to their own life, even though they might be aware of it. . . Oprah calls it the aha moment. What do you call it? . . It s the dawning of the day when, like in City Slickers, you get your do over . So don t think, my life is just surrounded by quagmire, all my friends are always complaining and leaning on me, my relationship isn t working we re fighting all the time, I hate my job, and all these things. Instead, think about every day being brand new. Every day, we get to reinvest ourselves. .

Earlier this month, on Youth Twitter, a student in South Korea, Soojin wrote, just my opinion about youthtwitter: schooly. concrete. A bit later, Hannah, a student in Philadelphia, answered on Youth Twitter, I think Alan's survey is a good example of how not to be 'schooly'. Students should ask questions of each other and interact. Wow, we thought this would be an interesting conversation on Teachers Teaching Teachers. Perhaps we could have more of a Students Teaching Teachers show. We invited Soojin, Hannah, Alan, a student from Queens, NY, Lindsea, a studnet from Honolulu, and Ben, a student from NYC to talk about the possibilities and problems with http://youthtwitter on our live webcast, Teachers Teaching Teachers. What a great a conversation we had about Youth Twitter, and blogging, and social networking and blogging-beyond-school. OH! We also invited some of the students' teachers. Their insights were invaluable. We were excited to have Clay Burell, Madeline Brownstone, and George Mayo join us for this conversation as well. Here's the first paragraph of a blog post that Soojin wrote the day after the webcast. (Click the link to read the whole post, and the responses.) Enjoy! And pass this podcast on to your students for inspiration. Unschooly-Youths Conversations Reflection Posted on April 4th, 2008 by Soojin April 3rd, 2008 10:00 AM GMT+09, something new happened to my life. Well, yes to quote me that was my ???first time Skyping for real-purposes??? and, of course, ???with bunch of White-people??? that lasted more than an hour hosted by a group called TeachersTeachingTeachers (not to forget mentioning Clay Burell???s impression that it was more like StudentsTeachingTeachers :-). Many feelings crossed my heart. Oh well, yes, I was pretty nervous at first I won???t deny (so childish!). And at the same time I was very honored to join this group of 9 out of 6 billion, members consisting of Clay Burell, Paul Allison, Susan Ettenheim, Madeline Brownstone, Lindsea, Hannah, Alan, Mr.Mayo, and Ben, talking about the leading form of education that all world will eventually have (sorry that I couldn???t link all names; please tell me your addresses). Paul told me during the conference that my tweet in YouthTwitter: just my opinion about youthtwitter: schooly. concrete was one of the key inspiration for opening such meeting. Actually, when I decided to tweet that I was afraid if I offended anyone in YouthTwitter but I decided to become honest because I wanted YT to improve. I???ve been blogging since last year, connected since about a month ago, and now I made a difference. Very meaningful. No Music No Civilization ??
