With all this talk now about how fast information is shared, this video sums up how the world is getting smaller. Some may think it is a good thing to know in an instant when news happens, while others miss the small town feel of things and are losing touch with their own communities.

Upon my return from the Second Annual Happy Selling Retreat I find myself longing for more!

It is never easy ending a vacation but this retreat is more than a vacation, it is a state of mind shared among friends, where everyone is responsible for their own actions. We were free to come and go, participate or not, but at the end of the day we all had an amazing time with people who like me beleive in Happy Selling!

I left with the thought of how do I top this next year? Many things come to mind and I will be investigating the best possible options. I can tell you it will be tropical, all-inclusive and have a swim up pool bar!

Thanks to my Happy Sellers (Barry, Steven, Tim, Martin and Ken) for making this weekend an event I look forward to every year and always will!

Happy Selling!

Back by popular demand I am please to announce the Second annual Happy Selling Retreat will take place June 9-12 2011 at Dreams  Resort and Spa  in Cancun Mexico. The resort was chosen because of it  being an  All-Inclusive resort with the all important swim up pool bar. Our  attendance is still by invitation only but has grown by 50% from the previous  year. We have included Martin Siwy and Ken Avery into the festivities this year both traveling all the way from California to join us.

Some may say this is just an excuse for a group of like minded people to get together without their spouses to party and drink. Although that is not totally off base it is also a kind of therapy session. It is where we are free to speak our minds without judgment. It is where we can share frustrations, ideas and feelings about, well, anything! And know that what happens at Happy Selling stays at Happy selling. 

No this is not a gossip trip. It is a release from the everyday rat race we all get caught up in. It just so happens we all
like the bonus of having a great beach, Captain Morgan and a swim up pool bar!

We are
looking forward to sharing  pictures of the  event once we get back (with minor
editing of course).

Happy Selling!

If there is any doubt in anyone’s mind that this world is changing than I am sad to see you live under a rock!

Our entire make up as a society is no longer looking out for each other. It has turned into a self preservationist approach to community. Politicians are leading the way with a “what is in it for me mentality” instead of what do my constituents want or “what is best for the overall community”. The very thought of a reality star running for President should tell us a lot about the direction our world is going.

Now I am not saying all this to depress us but to wake us up and realize that if the ship goes down we all go down. It is not how much or little you have it will be everyone. Sharing in a community use to mean just that… sharing. Now it has turned into gathering. I can gather as much away from the lower to middle class and live in my big house and go on my big vacations! Really… can’t you do that with the millions and billions you already have?

I think many (not all) of the richer 1% would agree that they can afford more luxuries than the average American. They can afford to eat, have proper housing and education. As a matter of fact if they were taxed 10%, 20% or even 30% higher their standard of living would not drastically change. We have a disproportionate amount of wealth building with a small % of the population while an entire slew of people are wondering if they can pay the rent or put food on the table.

I think people who work hard should be able to play hard. But I also think there is nothing wrong with sharing and seeing if you can give back and maybe let someone else play with you! After all we learned that in kindergarten!
