Inspired Ideas – You Gotta Love It!

Have you witnessed within yourself a spark of creative inspiration lately? Perhaps a game changer for your business or even your life?

Here’s a “middle of the night” idea that inspires. Simple, good cause, good timing and great fun. Peter and Andrea plan to get married this summer. How are they going to raise money, a modest amount by today’s standards, to fund their special day?

Cans, wedding cans to be exact. Peter has always been a recycler, melting down cans into ingots, and then accumulating them for a run to the local recycler. So Andrea comes up with the idea in the middle of the night to recycle cans, 400,000 of them, to raise just under $4,000 by the end of July, this year. As of this writing they’ve recycled the equivalent of 75% or 300,000 cans in just three weeks!

They put together a website, www.weddingcans.com where you can track their progress. Like to contribute but you’re in Cucamonga, California? No problem! They have PayPal. Take your cans to the local recycler, catch a latte on the way home, and send the rest thank you very much!

Their web site www.weddingcans.com has gone viral – international, local and national television; the Morning Show (CBS) last week, numerous radio interviews, emails from around the world. Alcoa donated the equivalent of 150,000 cans and said the coverage has been more effective to getting out the recycling message than years of marketing – a worthy investment!

So stay tuned and recycle. Hopefully they will have their special day, at a castle in northern Idaho as planned. Meanwhile we will continue to accumulate cans – Instant Sign Factory is one of the drop-off points – and watch Peter, who runs our digital press, leave daily with bags of loot.

So what is Peter’s take on all this new found fame? He says it’s a fun ride but in addition to financing their wedding, it’s all about the message, “recycle!”

Isn’t it great to see great ideas work? Don’t forget to check out their website.

Get inspired! Good selling!

The Power To Transform

Published by Dave Nail under Nailed It!

I am writing to share something that I am excited about and that I believe will make a big impact in your life. Chris Majer, Founder of the Human Potential Project has just released his first book, The Power to Transform. For 25 years he and his team have been crafting a highly effective body of work that has consistently proven successful at enabling high performers of all sorts to take the game, be it business or sports, to a higher level. Until now the only way you could have access to this work was if your company was willing to put you through one of HP2’s corporate courses.Now there is a simple way for all of us to have the opportunity to experience what HP2 does and enjoy the results that executives at Amgen, Microsoft, Allianz, Capital One, Nike and a host of others have experienced.

Most everyone at some point in their life has made some attempt to develop more of their potential. They have taken a course, read a book, listened to a tape and for the most part it hasn’t helped much. In this new book you will find out why and what it really takes to produce not just change, but transformation in your life.

What separates this book for all of the others on the market is that it is more than a book. It is an invitation to join a growing cadre of people who are working together to transform themselves and their worlds.

The book is designed to work in conjunction with a specifically tailored web site, www.thepowertotransform.net. The site is set up so that you can go there and do the assignments that are set out in the book, store and log your work, assess progress, and join up with others to work together on learning teams. It is this combination of reading and building new practices that will produce the transformation that you have long been seeking and finding so elusive.

The book and web site set out a very focused and rigorous 90-day program for you to follow and the promise is that when you have completed the work you will find that you have a new way of being in the world, a capacity to move with dignity, grace, purpose and power to achieve anything you set your sites on.

I have two requests for you. Not surprisingly the first is buy the book and then ‘do’ the book. Don’t just read it but do the work that is set out in the book and experience the promise of transformation for yourself.

The second request is that you help us with the marketing effort. Our goal is to have The Power To Transform land at the top of Amazon’s list and on the New York Times best seller list. To do that we need your help. No amount of advertising and PR carries the same weight as the power of a recommendation from a friend. So just as I sent this to you please send it along to all of the people in your networks with a personal recommendation. You will be doing them a service and if there was ever a time for transformation this is it!

Good Selling!
