Human Billboards
Human Arrows
Sign Holders
Sign Walkers
Sign Flippers
Sign Wavers
Sign Spinners
Sign Dancers
Sign Twirlers

You know what advertising agencies call these people?  Human Directionals.

If you have ever been to a place that has lots of pedestrian and auto traffic, you will have witnessed some of these people.  Some of them are true artists!  They are outside and not stuck in an office.  They usually have earphones on and can listen to their favorite music on the job.  And they are damn good at helping businesses get more clientale. And in areas with good weather, they can do this type of work all year long.

Many companies say that this type of gurella marketing is very effecitve.  When asked, many companies will say that they are doing many forms of advertising but when clients/customers come in to their stores and they ask how they knew about the store, or sale, or event -- inadvertently the customer always mentions the outdoor sign holder most of the time.  Sign spinning is becoming an essential part of advertising for a company, which is good news for you.  Because it means that you can quickly get a job sign flipping and making quick money.

To get a sign flipping job you must contact companies like:

AArow Advertising -- www.aarrowsignspinners.com (which will train you in over 300 sign spinning tricks).  Their Human Directionals are in 40 cities and 4 countires worldwide.

Also, Light House Advertising Group  www.lighthouseadgroup.com

You should also look under General Labor at these websites that list jobs:

• jobslistingusa.com
• Craigslist.org

Now, if you don't feel like enlisting with an advertising agency or filling out a job application to do a sign spinning job.  You can always promote yourself as a sign holder on Facebook, Craigslist or wherever you can attach a video of yourself showing off your sign spinning technique and contact information so businesses can call you.  Sign spinners usually get $7 - $13 an hour depending on the location of the job.

Just for fun, let's look at an artist in action . . .

The Game of Limitation

Life is just a big fat video game.  

It should be called "The Game of Limitations" or "World of Warcraft Limitations" or something like that.  Don't believe me?  Check this out.

If you haven't noticed yet, everything we do has limitations set on it, in it, or around it.  Seriously.  Name some things you'd like to do:


Exciting Possibility: I want to write a series of novels

Limitation:  But you must to work a day-job (8 hours a day with an hour commute) to house and feed your kids. When you get home you are cleaning, cooking, dealing with children.  You don't have the time!

Exciting Possibility: I would find true joy in traveling the world and seeing all the "mysterious sites" like the Sphinx in Egypt, Stonehenge in England, or pyramids of Peru.

Limitation:  You don't have the money to quit your job and buy a plane ticket to even one of these locations.

Exciting Possibility: I love entertaining, I love parties, I should open a night club or a party venue.

Limitation: You have no restaurant or event training and opening a party venue costs a lot of money -- which you don't have and have no idea how to get that much money.

Exciting Possibility: I love singing and I would love to perform for large crowds of people

Limitation:  You know getting into the music business and becoming a star is an impossible task, and most importantly, you don't have any contacts with people in the music business.

Exciting Possibility: I'd like to open my own business

Limitation:  You think you don't have any special talents or any product that customers would want to buy. You don't have any business training at all -- what are you thinking!

It all seems very depressing doesn't it?  

The world is at your feet and there are so many great things to experience,  but life and practical things get in the way and you don't have the time, resources or opportunity to explore life and the world fully. You come to realize quickly -- that sadly -- this world is about limitation.  Limits are forever placed around the possibilities and the opportunities you experience as a human being.

When you think about it, that doesn't make sense does it?  Why would this LIFE, this WORLD have all these possible experiences ready for you to explore and enjoy but intentionally put obstacles in the way so you can't explore or enjoy them?

What's up with that?



It all makes more sense when you realize that this world and the life you are leading is just a game.  A game called limitations and you elected be a player of this game.

The key to winning this game is not to dwell on all the limitations that could possibly stop you from succeeding in your goal. Which we have a notorious habit of doing . . . (see the Exciting Possibilities list above).

Here's the situation, no matter what you wish to do in life . . . there will always be a good reason not to do it.  That's the Game of Limitations.  But to play the Game of Limitations and win -- the player must  recognize, combat and break out from the limitations, and go for it anyway. 

That's the whole premise of the Game of Limitations.  You -- the player -- are suppose to go for what brings you the most joy, you are suppose to live your dreams despite the limitations and obstacles placed in the way of your true joy!  

Believe it or not, this is the game you elected to play -- it's a game that is supposed to strengthen your spirit and your soul.  It's to make you stronger, smarter, faster . . . wiser.  And you are in it to win it.  Guess what? You have all the tools to succeed.  Yes.  You do!

Life is like a video game.  Have you ever played one of those?  The point of the game -- the fun of the game  -- is to go up the levels of difficulty to gain the thing that you want (the reward).  What is the reward?  The reward is the joy that a purpose-filled life, doing the things you have always dreamed of doing, can give you.  

What produces that joy?  Well, it's different for every person.  

For me - writing -- is that joy. So in this game of life I am suppose to write, no matter what the obstacles laid before me that pushes me to not write.  And while I'm happily writing and sharing the thing that gives me the most joy in life . . . the game is going to put obstacles in my way.  What are these obstacles and challenges?  The usual stuff: an 8-hour job to pay the bills, housework, children needing to be cared for, problems from friends and family, a yard that needs attending, hygiene routines and sleep.  All the things that will deter me from doing the thing that I love doing most.  So, in the game I must meander through all these obstacles and still find a way to have my joy (my writing) in my life daily.

And here is where the game gets interesting --  the more successful I am at making sure that I write everyday . . . the more obstacles and challenges and "limitations" that will be placed in my way. 

Many people stop playing the game after they encounter the limitations.  They feel that there are too many limitations, that the obstacles are insurmountable which means they shouldn't do the very thing that brings them joy, the very thing that makes their life wonderful and full.  

When in fact all those obstacles and limitations mean that the player is simply graduating to a higher level.  You know what happens at the higher levels of video games, right?  At the higher level of the games, the obstacles get bigger, move faster, get harder to beat.  A good gamer expects this and carries on.  

What a good gamer also knows is that the tools -- the keys -- you need to defeat the limitations and obstacles are somewhere in the game, waiting for you to discover them so you can use them and get to the next level which has more reward, but even crazier limitations and obstacles.  But that's the fun part of the game, dude!  

I'm sure you've heard gamers talk about the "levels" that they have achieved and how crazy the limitations and obstacles are on that level.  But notice, they don't talk about it with dread -- they talk about it with excitement and the gamers at that are lower levels can't wait to get to the higher levels so they can experience the fun.  That's how we should be looking at the obstacles that we discover while we are participating in our highest joy, fighting to realize our greatest dream.  We need to realize it's simply a game and that this is the exciting part of our game -- and then help others by telling them where the keys and tools are when they get to that very exciting but challenging level of the game.

Don't let lack of money, lack of resources, lack of praise, lack of support, lack of time, lack of anything stop you from doing something that you love and gives you a positive joyful feeling about yourself and the world.  Don't let the Game of Limitation beat you!  You can do this and have fun doing it.  

Just look at it as a big old game. The better you get at the game the more limitations come at you. But the stronger and more successful you are as a gamer. Be excited about this!  All those obstacles, challenges and limitations simply mean you have reached new levels of reward! 

Seriously, life is all just a big video game!  And you my dears are my powerful and influential gamers ready to help me reach and conquer the next level.  

And just for fun . . .

Real Money vs. Fake Money

Why do I love my friends and followers on Twitter?  Let me tell you . . .

I was talking to Paris Nichlaides @OdysseusCA on Twitter, telling him about how I always tell my children, when they exchange coins for paper at the bank that they are trading Real Money for Fake Money.  You understand that don't you?  That when you give up your coins you are giving up REAL MONEY.  You DO understand that the paper money in your pocket/purse is just "Monopoly Money," right?  

Paris immediately sent me to a video that talks about the difference between "real money" and "currency" and it is really good, really entertaining and filmed in a way to hold your interest while explaining complex ideas.  I love it!  

I just had to share this information with you guys and found this video an excellent education on money, wealth and freedom . . . all the things I love to talk about on this blog so it fits right in.

Man, I love my friends and followers on Twitter.

Know When Someone Loves You - Happy Mother's Day

The biggest sign of LOVE

I witnessed the BEST Mother's Day Gift today, and it made me realize some things.  Let me explain. . .

Today, for Mother's Day my husband piled my kids and me in the car and took us to church.  The church I like to attend is very different from what most people think of church.  My church is very lively and loud, the music is very upbeat and you can dance to it -- which many of the church members of this particular church do.  When things get really lively, the people that attend my church will get up in the aisle and walk, dance, jog around the entire sanctuary in time to the music -- it's an amazing sight to see and surprisingly uplifting.

Today, one mother clearly happy that her son attended church with her this Sunday got up and dragged her grown son through the pathway during a particularly lively song sung by the choir.  She was so joyful, so exuberant, so damn happy that her boy was with her.  And he, well, you could tell he was being dragged through the church, that he would like to be any place but there, doing anything but that -- to me it was hilarious . . . and so incredibly loving and beautiful.

This young man was doing the very thing (albeit reluctantly) that would make his mother experience the most joy on Mother's Day.  Others may have saw his attitude as "poor sportsmanship,""bad attitude" etc,  but I laughed at his facial expressions, reluctance and long-suffering.  I also saw his presence as the most beautiful Mother's Day Gift that he could give his mother.

We as people really should start seeing what is right before our eyes.  We should recognize the LOVE that we have all around us and the power that that love affords us.  The joy that each and every person in our lives gives us in their own little way (even if it holds a little bit of reluctance in it).

And we should thank God for it.

THIS is what I learned from that long-suffering young man at church on Mother's Day morning.  I want to tell him "Thank You" for showing me through long-suffering devotion what real love is all about.

I don't know you and you don't know me, but you are a great son!

Insecurity - Why You Should Do EVERYTHING In Your Power to Get Over It!

Ana Kasaparian of the online news show The Young Turks is very correct.  Do you realize that people go broke because of their insecurities?  Let's look at what people do because they are insecure.

Insecure people do things like:  

• Spend thousands of dollars in plastic surgery
• Spend money they don't have on leasing luxury cars, brand-name clothing and other items that they think will impress people
• Lose relationships they want
• Work jobs that they hate; 
• Have people around them that they find negative and depressing
• Fall into relationships with people they don't like
• Creating embarrassing videos on YouTube 
• . . . the list can go on and on.

All the examples above can be very, very expensive and detrimental to your life and well-being.  One of the most important things you can do for yourself, one of the ways you can gain financial freedom is to work on your insecurities and gain self-confidence.  How do you do this?


What is insecurity?
"It is a defense mechanism that seeks to protect poorly formed or barely nourished sense of self from being entirely obliterated by the domination of others in a position of power." ~ Article: How to Recognize Insecurities

It's important that you know what insecurity actually is so you are not so hard on yourself or others. It's also important that you know that developing insecurity is a survival mechanism.  Actually, during traumatic situations developing "insecurity" is a positive thing, doing this has helped many people survive:

1. chaotic, violent or distressing childhoods;
2. living in fear of someone;
3.very rigid expectations during formative years;
4. never being free to express feelings or even acknowledge true feelings.

 . . . So don't be critical of people with insecurities, at the time they developed said insecurities it was needed. 


Recognizing insecure people:
You will recognize insecure people because they are quick to pass judgment on themselves and others. They tend to condemn other people's decisions/choices.  They do this quickly, almost instantaneously, impulsively --  they can't help it.  What they don't realize is that putting others down may feel like it raises them up for the moment .  . . but ultimately, it doesn't.  Every time they knock someone down or criticize someone,  they have no idea that they are criticizing a personal quality that they actually possess and ultimately they are criticizing themselves. So in fact, they are victimizing and abusing themselves.


Here is the key to dealing with your insecurity.  
Insecurity steams from fear of abusively critical situations. Insecurity is you braising for past critical situations happening in your present. In essence, you have a great fear of what happened to you in the past will happen again today.

To effectively deal with this, you must understand that you may not entirely destroy or overcome your fears. Yes, your particular fears and insecurities will keep popping up at inopportune times.  The point is to continue in the direction you want to go, anyway. Remember the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz?  Throughout the whole journey, he was frightened, crying, running away -- but what ultimately proved his courage was he stayed on the journey - no matter how frightened he may have been.  You have to confront your fears to realize that you can beat your fears. Success will fuel further success, you have to be willing to feel the fear to experience the courage.

But the real key to dealing with insecurity: don't focus on the term "insecurity," instead focus on developing self-confidence.


What is self-confidence?
What is going on when I am living within my self-confidence? What do self-confident people look like?
Well, here are a few key clues that someone is self-confident:

• They freely praise and encourage people around them to achieve their goals and better themselves.
• They willing to stand up for themselves, even in frightening situations/or against powerful people.
• They do what they believe is good for them, even if others mock or criticize them.
• They are willing and open to take risks and go the extra mile to achieve bigger and better goals.
• They admit their errors (out loud) and learn from them and can even laugh at their mistakes.
• They accept compliments graciously.
• They are sure that if they learn and work hard in a particular area, there will be some form of success.
• They can admit your feelings and don't care what others think -- they own their stuff.

In essence, they appreciate themselves for who they are and have stopped comparing themselves to others.


How Can YOU Build Self-confidence:

• List all the things you've achieved and all the things you do well
• List your strengths (if you have problems with this, let your friends help you)
• List what is important to you and where you want to go in life (your dreams)
• Smash negative self-talk and criticism
• Do something you love doing, create something and make note of your success in doing it
• Talk to a professional about all the above
