Well, well, well!
- For all those who whine about "how dare he say it" ...

My book “How to not only COMBAT and WIN AGAINST – but PROFIT (big time) from the Nazi Feminist DISEASE plaguing modern day society” has caused a few raised eyebrows from idiots in general – but funnily enough, or maybe NOT if you know how women think – not ONE single complaint has come in from a woman regarding this book.

Maybe it’s because real women dislike the concept of Nazi feminism as much as real men dislike the concept of men wanting to be women, women wanting to be men and other unnatural garbage.

Dont get me wrong, as a fetish or in the bedroom- by all means, have at – but dont shove it down everyone’s throats, and it’s certainly not meant to be brought mainstream either.

What happens in the bedroom STAYS in the bedroom, period.

And as Janet Clare finishes an absolutely SUPERB job of converting this book over to audio format – I gotta say this – man – she really FEELS This topic!

Perhaps even more so than 10 Commandments of Successful Sales for which she did a superb job as well.

And, so much for those complaining about “he hates women”.

I actually love them more than the complainers do. Heh.

I just cannot stand no goose and gander, for instance, this afternoon a female beggar showed up next to me poking me in the shoulder literally asking for money.

I walked away, she was whining about “he’s upset at me”.

No.

But thats not done.

And more to the point, if I had poked her in the shoulder, the entire “Mahila Mandal” or women’s rights cell or whatever its called would likely be up in arms by now, she does it, gets away scot free – goose and gander? And thats a mild fuckin example, by the way – THAT is what I’m against.

Here is what Janet in her own inimitable style has to say about the book –

“Are you a man being controlled by an overbearing Nazi Feminist? come and listen with us to this smash room for the human brain on how to reclaim your rights in this life to be a man.

Come and learn how to break the shackles of the Cuckold male you have become and feel the release of true freedom. Learn the difference between a Nazi Feminist and a true feminist.

Listen with us and become the man that nature intended you to be. If nothing else listening to this book will give you the same release as a heavy work out or visit to your neighborhood smash room with out the fees. “

Exactly.

BE the man that nature intended you to be – and the difference between Nazi feminists and REAL feminists – the latter I support, the former I despise and abhor and will never ever support.

True equality is one thing, “my way or the highway” and no responsibility but more rights to me? Fuck that!

Anyway …

Interesting a woman feels so strongly about the book, but I dont blame her, any sensible person would – you’ll hear the passion in her voice as she narrates!

I will have the audio books links out here soon – for now, get the books above.

And, another superlative review coming in for Gumption Galore soon. Stay tuned, damn, my fingers need another one of those “carol style” massages, glued to the machine as I am!

“UNBELIEVABLE GRIPS that gave the entire family the nickname CRITTER!! Thanks Rahul! Well Done!”
- And, both reviews ring, and are nigh true!

The ring of TRUTH, as my brother from the Marines would say – you cannot fake it. Neither can you fake the ring of truth you get from the reviews we get on all our products – as they say in India, hehe – all “cent percent” TRUE – and hitting home – and REAL!

Here is what Bruce Cannon sent over from Gorilla Grip this morning –

Rahul Mookerjee has created a great book with Gorilla Grip. My wife’s family comes from a farm in Wisconsin and many of the exercises Rahul mentions were famous on the farm.

Especially the farmers walk. A 5-gallon bucket of milk in each arm hauled to the bulk tank over and over in the morning and evening and a bar for pull-ups and a rope in the barn produced one Brother that became heavyweight state wrestling champion in college and one Brother in the semi-finals at State. UNBELIEVABLE GRIPS that gave the entire family the nickname CRITTER!!

Thanks Rahul! Well Done!

Amen!!!

Working on a farm builds SUPREME levels of REAL health, strength, and fitness – much like old school wrestling does. Just ask MY wife, who used to run through muddy fields at 5 am in the morning – she hated it, but her Dad her put her through it, and though she isn’t fit NOW – for many years, that training held her in good stead even when she did NOTHING fitness wise (for many years).

Like I said, once you GET in shape, it’s so much easier to maintain it.

And we aren’t even getting into GRIP strength in particular there … but those Indian women working the fields, laboring out there in the hot sun, much like my friend MJ’s wife, they’re fully capable of taking a bat or fire extinguisher to your head if they so chose, hehe. Trust me on this one.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the review – that was a great review, and that is so true as well – working on the farm will build “mitts like nothing else will”
in all regards! Carrying heavy buckets, moving bales of hay around, sloshing through wet mud (back in the day before it was all mechanized)
– all of it, superb grip – and overall strength building – certainly stuff that produces champions as it did in your case!

Cheers
Rahul

Here’s another one –

Excellent Book On A Very Important Subject.

Hand/Grip training is vital just for survival let alone sports.
If you take the time to develop a strong grip you’ll automatically get stronger all through your entire body, the reason for this is simple, you have more brain signals to your hands than any other part of your body.
Buy this book, train your grip and everything else will become easier, excellent book, thank you.

(John Walker sent that in a while ago!)

Then, one for Gorilla Grip (ADVANCED!) –

DEFINITELY my friend! It would be an honor to write a written review for your book! It would be genuine too because I’m really enjoying the read! I gotta get your first two books, like you mentioned, so I can get up to speed and ready for this one! Haha!

Hehe. Parrish Patten hasn’t gotten done reading the entire book as yet – but that is the review “For now”. Be on the outlook for MORE on this in the future.

Well, my friend, above and beyond as they say. If you’re not a proud owner of Gorilla GripGorilla Grip (ADVANCED!) – and Gorilla Grip (TIPS!) – then you’re MISSING out – that is ALL I can say, my friend.

Get them NOW.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Available in compilation format as well! 🙂

The “thinking pushup” workout, the “great body I’ve got that wasn’t shown in THIS workout” – and ..well, MOTIVATION for Ryan’s little bro!
- Lots to share!

Like on the other business today, LOTS to share!

With all going on, especially this latest project of putting over 150 manuals and books into audiobook format – and all the people we’re collabarating with on this project – its been very hectic – more so than usual -and at the end of a busy morning – with doorbells clattering, people hollering etc – I found a few minutes to think.

Then I figured I’d do my thinking while I did 100 pushups.

So off to livestream, turned out we did way more than that!

I’m truly humbled by people tuning in globally to watch a guy workout – with comments like “Show that great body you’ve got!” – and “You gotta say something to motivate my younger bro working at KFC!” – and so forth … THANK YOU!

For a guy who never did videos, much less livestream with a wonky dumbphone where the battery keeps conking out – its an honor!

And we’re only going to go UP and better from here.

Before I start, one of my biggest detractors here has been instrumental through his trolling and negativity to actually get me GOING – again – on videos which I did for a brief while.

“But you’ve got some great stuff out there, I think folks would really benefit from you showing people how you do things rather than … ”

Yes, Ben, I still have the email.

And though you hate my very guts – I’ve called you out before but fair’s fair – YOU were in part (not fully, but in part) instrumental in getting me going again on video, and then things just took off from there.

(Much like AK said in “Mission Mangal”, hehe).

I’m mentioning him here since I honestly have nothing against him. Despite his words, he’s never crossed the line like Glyn has, and he never would,  and I can respect that about a guy no matter how much I disagree with him on everything else.

But anyway …

So while I was doing the pushups – well, no body on show today, but thats not why I work out shirtless – in the winter, I love the sun – and I do in summer as well – love me that tan!

And second, it feels more natural, nothing to do with showing off.

Third, the motivational speech I gave Isiah – which I probably did not even pronouce right. It’s all there in the video – but Ryan – hope you guys heard it – I believe you did – I was in a tearing rush, had to pick up the little girl from school – but glad to be of service in that regard!

Its about how hard you can GET hit, and keep moving forward. THAT is how winning is ultimately done. Perseverance – in any sphere – be relentless, just keep going, and victory shall inevitably come – be YOURS to savor, and at that point as I say in Fast and Furious Fitness (a great review on the way for this!! – stay tuned) – it will be YOUR credit, not mine

I can merely show you the way, besting me – or getting close – is your choice, up to you, and your credit if you do it.

THANK YOU, everyone!

Upward!

BEst,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Video link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVSZBNjtUMo&feature=youtu.be

And hey, guys – if I dont reply via text on the chat window – I’ll do so via voice. Hard to type and do pushups at the same time, hehe. You know what I mean!

Motivation wise – Gumption Galore -and ZERO TO HERO! Check out some of the latest reviews on these you’ll want to have BOTH these books by your bedstand as it were if you’re requiring motivation – these books will give it to you in a format that kicks assimus and just flat out works – no frills, no punches pulled, just sheer RESULTS as a reader recently said.

Which is what counts in life. RESULTS!

And, Pushup Central is your baby if you’re loving the workout videos I keep livestreaming! (which lots do – thank you!!)

It isnt that hard my friend … IF YOU TRY!
- Case in point.

Nothing is, if you TRY enough and be persistent.

Guy who I keep writing about who moans about “he’s always exercising” and moans about not being able to do pull-ups might want to listen up here!

Not that he’d process it if you get my drift, he’d nod the head and go along, but like Twain said – nodding alone wont rock the damn boat – it wont make it budge, even.

So this yoga guy I wrote about before – a lot of you remember him.

Can do a pretty decent human flag (not perfect, but getting there) – pretty good L sit on the parallel bars – and some other cool stuff – I saw him after a while, and shot the bull with him during a 40 pull-up session (total).

We spoke about just how important BREATHING is – yogic paranayams and so forth (such as the “anulom vilum” I posted on youtube) – and I couldn’t agree more with him.

“Your breath is your power!”

Then I told him about how people hold their breath while exercising, how you should inhale and exhale while doing bodyweight stuff, and so forth … he was on board with the hamstrings being the most important part of the body to train as well.

Right down to the China style slapping massage. Now there’s a guy I can get along with!

And one thing I noticed about him – his pullups which he doesnt do too often – they weren’t full pull-ups, but they weren’t jerky half ass ones either.

And so I advised him the following –

One, it’s not a pull-up until its done from a dead hang and chin over the bar, preferably Adams apple.

Two, I showed him the parts of the body full extension pull-ups – the only way to do ’em right – tax.

The upper chest, near the shoulder specifically  – bottom part of the lats (wings!) – and upper traps and grip plus tricep. He followed my advice and used the thumb without me asking!

Three, I told him his weight was perfect – which it is – so no issues there. Overweight people wont be able to do them I said, no matter how hard they grunt out there in the gyms or otherwise (ditto for proper pushups, handstands etc).

I didnt need to tell him #4, as he said it himself.

Static holds at the top part, which I showed him – which is something I say in Pull-ups -from DUD to STUD within a matter of weeks!

Anyway – he tried.

Face was completely red after a rep.

Then a while later, he got a couple of reps, almost.

Then, finally – one rep – perfect.

There, I said. It’s not hard when you try!

And knowing his work ethic, if he works at it for a week, he’ll be on his way to doing them in sets, reps, and so forth.

Nothing’s hard if you TRY – and be persistent my friend.

(He’s holding his breath when he does them, but that’ll go away, I told him once he focuses on breathing …)

And thats that, on a hot almost summer afternoon, even the ruffians didnt show up in herds.

Take from it what lesson you will.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – This dude has been following my livestreams on Instagram, and now youtube as well. And he;s enjoying them, cannot say enough good things about the Jack La Lanne pushup. I dont blame him!

Pushup Central, my friend -grab it NOW. We were talking about how loose and flexible is the way to go, as opposed to the “tight muscle syndrome” you see “always pumped” for gym goers and such – and he’s right about that as well.

I’m considering Volume Two for Pushup Central. shoot me an email, if there is enough interest ,will do!

What a state high school champ wrestler had to say about Pushup Central …
- This truly is an exclusive course, my friend - nothing like it out there!

Neely, a high school champ wrestler wrote in about Pushup Central (I doubt he has read the full book as yet, so more comments will be forthcoming!) ..

“I’m a state high school champ wrestler, and thought there were only a dozen or so type of pushups! Can’t wait to read the book!”

Now, you might think thats odd coming from a former athlete who likely pumped out pushups by the hundreds in his hey day – remember, he’s an old timer.

But it doesnt surprise me that a lot of the pushup variants I mention in Pushup Central are new for him.

Most coaches – high school or college – or martial arts coaches – will focus on the regular pushup, wide grip pushup, fingertip and knuckle pushups

Truth is, the raw and unfiltered truth – that even these four variants of pushups if done right will make men out of boys my friend. Iron Mike for one focused on the elbows in variant of the pushup in exclusion to most others, and no-one can argue about his results – and he’s hardly the only one.

Fitness phenom Herschel Walker’s workout routine has been widely reported to consist of high reps but only a few actual exercises. Walker doesnt stress it, and he’s right “if it feels good, I do it!”.

So do I.

So does any real doer.

But there are so many styles of pushups that are SUPER effective, give you a great workout – and these aren’t usually even on the list of, let alone towards the top of – most coaches’s list.

I wonder if the high school in TX who was vilified for making high school football players do pushups (bah! What has society become when high school football players land up in the hospital after doing a measly, paltry 300 pushups in an hour – 500 should be the bare minimum?????) has them on his list…

For instance.

Tiger bend pushups, reverse pushups – Bruce Lee “wing” pushups – one leg in the air “torquing” pushups – spiderman pushups – all highly effective and versatile pushups – do we even hear of them, let alone do ’em regularly?

Then there are advanced pushups I deemed too tough to put in Pushup Central.

Like I replied to Neely – I could think of 55 more variants of the pushup right off the bat – its literally one of the most – if not THE MOST – versatile exercise there is!

And these advanced pushups might well make it to Volume Two of Pushup Cental.

Archer Pushup – one arm pushups (thats a book unto itself) – fingertip Jack La lanne push-ups taken to another level – typewriter pushups – SUPERMAN pushups – the list goes on and on and on.

Trust me, my friend, any ONE of these movements by itself – if you even come close to mastery on them – you’ll become a fitness phenom yourself – guaranteed.

Anyway.

I’ll wait on Neely to get back with further comments.

As for you, my friend, those of you that have not picked up the new and improved Pushup Central – with videos galore – get it NOW.

It truly (along with the 0 Excuses Fitness System and Squat 101) the ONE course you MUST have on your fitness bookshelf, virtual or physical – period.

Get it NOW.

Oh and if you want to take pushups to the next level ALTOGETHER – beyond even advanced pushups – then you do burpees, and lots of them.

Talk about VARIETY, my friend – thats another course thats on pre-order right now – a course that has information in it you’ve never ever heard of before most likely, let alone seen.

And that course is BURPESS – Ultimate Conditioning. Check it out now – reserve your copy at the pre-order price while it lasts which it will NOT for too much longer.

Best,

What a retired teacher and long term volleyball coach has to say about Rahul Mookerjee’s motivational books!
- That was some great feedback Terrence - thank you!!

Yesterday, I sent you an email about what a coach had to say about Zero to Hero … that email is here – some great feedback in it!!

I knew this guy was the real deal and the right fit for narrating this book (I was looking for narrators too at the time) and the minute I heard him “speak” the words – I knew my gut was right as usual.

There’s narration, then there’s narration with FEELING which yours truly wants for all his products. Writing wise, my words have vibes, and I’d prefer that same vibe carry over to my “verbal” products – videos – etc etc.

Translations as well.

Therefore, I only work with people that are on board with our philosophies, believe in what we do to the core – and most importantly, DO what we say regularly!

I heard back from Terrence today again, and here’s more feedback from him –

Rahul- I would be interested in narrating any and all books that you’d like me too. Your topics are indeed close my heart as I am currently a retired teacher, but current long-time volleyball coach. My previous favorite read (until yours, of course ????), was a book was book entitled “Mind Gym” by Gary Mack. I bought copies for my players years ago, and even my own daughter (who still reads chapters once in a while as she’s currently playing volleyball in college). Your material reminds me of his book in all the WONDERFUL advice you give and real world experiences you cite. I will be using your material this upcoming season as well because it hits things from a similar point of view. I am so excited to be working with you long-term, and I look forward to continuing the read on this current manuscript. I look forward to hearing from you today, and I’ll be working on this read extensively. Terrence

And thats the best testimonial any writer could ask for – for “fellow” life coaches to get back saying they’re using the material in their actual live coaching sesions!

Learning in the trenches is truly what its all about – and Terrence gets it. The best lessons are those learned oneself by dint of hard knock (oddly enough, as I write this, Gumption Galore narration status stands at the Chapter “The school of hard knocks!”) – and the very best teachers are those that have best circumstances, hardships, and come out on top – and continue to.

Thats how to live life.

Thats how to get fit as well – or if you’re looking for the best shi fu, or instructor – those are some attributes to consider!

And that, my friend is another great, great testimonial – so many of them rocking in that I’m having a hard time updating the sales pages with ’em. Will do shortly! Hehe.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Pushup Central will be the next book available in audio book format as well. This based upon “popular feedback”. Stay Tuned! (literally, hehe)

Maintenance is always “easier” …
- I dont mean child support either, heh

It’s definitely easier when you’re a liberal judge up in NY, perhaps, awarding excess maintenance to a lazy nutter who doesnt deserve it …

I swear, some of the nonsense going on these days. It’s one thing to decide alimony, its quite another to have the man pay the bulk of it when the woman earns literally 5x more – sure, the man isn’t exactly a prime example of “doer”, but still – if the tables were turned – would the same apply to the woman?

I dont think so, more liberal idiocy emanating at the very top, of course …

Anyway.

I meant to write  about maintenance, but not the child support which admittedly a lot of dead beat Dads never pay ..

And this is yet another prime example to get in shape and stay there – as if you needed more, eh.

Bottom line, and I wanted to say this yesterday but I I totally forgot.

Its easier to STAY in shape once you GET in shape.

You dont necessarily need to hike hills for hours to maintain yourself, but I did have to do it to get in shape – one of the things I did.

Same thing for pull-ups, pushups etc.

Sometimes I do high rep workouts for all of these, other times, low rep.

ANd I improve with each workout – somehow, somewhere, which is key for YOU too reading this.

500 pushup workout will never be easy for me – or anyone regardless of whether you’re in good shape or superlative, or terrible.

If they are, you aint doing em right, and those that say they’re “easy” are idiots that dont do the thing period.

But, you can make those low rep workouts tough as heck too!

Slow it down.

Perfect form focus!

Workout in hotter weather (Admittedly that isnt’ required, but I do it anyway!).

Do tougher pushups – or tougher squats (tiger bend pushups, jump squats, fingertip pushups, Archer pushups -some of the tougher ones!).

And thats what I did today during the bulk of my workout.

Including pullups – I did some tough core workouts … and finished off with a smelter as well.

All mostly chronicled on youtube and instagram, and I’m so glad to see the list there growing by leaps and bounds.

And thats that. Oh, for the “apes aping” I wrote about, except they ape the superflous stuff like hair, sunglasses etc – another prime example of why you should be in shape -well, you feel awesome, period – you have that vibe going that only real fitness can give you – you’ll know what it is when you get there.

One sign is NOT having to tug your shirt up and down to disguise the belly, or lift the chin up for better camera angles and so forth, you just be natural and go. As the wife said about her “tarot cards” the other night, “I dont hide anything”.

Hehe.

Back soon!

Rahul Mookerjee

PS- The 0 Excuses Fitness system is brutal, and gets results, period. And if you’re not on the train as yet, you’re missing out. Jump on NOW.

More on MOVING.
- Last night - heavy boxes!

Last night, while packing shit into heavy boxes over and over again – I had a couple of thoughts.

One, how people accumulate so much stuff – or junk – whichever way you look at it, is beyond me.

While moving – or while the “boxes” showed up ready to be taped etc, I Was asked if I needed any to move.

Me? I laughed. I have a massive old suitcase thats been going strong since 1997 – been there with me in ALL my travels, huge, bulky – you know – old school – and thats all I need!

OK, my clubs – chinning bar – heavy bag – all that needs to be moved, but other than that, yours truly remains forever nomadic …

I dont know, maybe someday I’ll settle down, buy a house etc, but I’ve never seen much point in being tied down to one place.

Lots of people do, and thats fine. To each his or her own.

Not to mention, “I always have a bag packed ready to haul ASS” – like my friend from the Marines does. When it’s time to bail, you BAIL – like a certain Baba Ramdev did in 2020 – literally “fleeing” from a set up where the cops nailed him for some nonsense (again a setup) (Google’s your friend, I still remember the hair flying. Hehe).

Anyway.

Packing. Percie was upper most in my mind as I packed what seemed like endless sets of glassware, crockery etc in newspaper, then boxed em, taped ’em up etc – then of course, the fun part, when I tried to lift them boxes – and the daughter joined in!

She’s big enough now to lift the heavy bag up, push boxes around etc – the wife was commenting about how its good she is “allowed to join in in family activities” unlike yours truly growing up …

And it is!

I remember moving when I was 5 years old, wanting to lift all the heavy stuff up and down stairs, I think Dad gave me his briefcase to lift. Hehe.

Forever the “macho man” as I’ve been called!

Anyway – back to lifting – and boxes.

Let me tell you one damn thing my friend – lifting – heavy ass boxes upward of 50 kgs off the floor with no easy way to grip them – and without  a dolly etc – builds some serious, serious strength and conditioning that most people, especially those sitting around on the machines in the Jim can only dream of.

It builds functional strength like few other activities do!

Much like the farmer’s walk in all it’s variants, shapes and forms, it does not follow a “push pull” pattern, or circular motion as with clubs, there are some basic rules to lifting – I follow rule numero uno most closely i.e. “use the legs” – but other than that, its you and the damn weight – unwieldy, hard to grip – and HEAVY.

You either get the fucker moved, or you dont, much like with lifting heavy stones!

It is true that the get it done or dont maxim holds true with bodyweight exercises too – the pull-up being one (hey, guess what. Pull-ups – from STUD to SUPER STUD within WEEKS! will soon be available in audio book format too!) – you either get the chin over the bar, or you dont.

But heavy lifting this way is DIFFERENT, it builds a different kind of strength, and its as real world and functional as it gets. I highly recommend you work some sort of moving into your yearly routine, even if you dont have to move!

Did I say yearly? I should have said WEEKLY.

Yes, move heavy shit up and down flights of stairs a couple of times a week, you’ll see what I mean – especially doing it for upwards of half an hour. You dont even necessarily need to go full tilt – just do it, and you’ll see what I mean.

Or, lug split A/c units up and down flights of stairs – remember dude in China I wrote about that did that?

Or, the tales I tell you in  0 Excuses Fitness about the little ladies with tremendous grip strength – from carrying heavy bottles of water up flights of stairs all day.

Or, the massueses pumping out fingertip pushups to buld that incredible grip strength a lot of these tiny girls have!

Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness most closely approximates this sort of training “working on the docks” as it were – teaches you how to build the levels of conditioning and strength required for you to be able to DO this sort of stuff (no, you cannot simply jump off the couch one fine day and decide “lets do it” – you will injure yourself if you do) – and shows you how train with tools and implements like NO other course out there does – period.

Much delayed the course is, for some reason that last section on kettlebells, but like everything around here, “it’ll happen when it does”.

And good things come to those who wait!

In the meantime, place the pre-order for the course NOW before the price shoots up, which as you’ve noticed it already has a couple of times (it isn’t just sales talk).

So, do the needful NOW …

And I’ll be back!!

PS – If you, like a few people have asked as of late want to support us – contribute to the cause of REAL world fitness – do your bit by contributing what you can HERE.

Remember, nothing is free in life, and your support is always required to bring you the best in terms of life, fitness and everything else.

If you truly enjoy what we put out – then do your bit by supporting us whichever way you can. (REVIEWS – honest reviews being another huge way!)

Any and all contributions are highly appreciated and will warrant special discounts and coupons to those that “give”. Remember, you must give first to GET – but when you give – the getting is a “given” – no pun intended.  Thank you!

Why it’s not hocus pocus – but BELIEF – self BELIEF – and the six inch space between your ears that really counts in LIFE!
- Not beads, not chains, not amulets...

Not beads, not chains, not amulets…not reciting mantras 109 times, not wearing X color on X day, not not doing laundry on Thursday, not cracked mirrors, not Feng Shui, or Vastu, not religion, not nothing my friend – except BELIEF.

Ultimately it all boils down to belief.

As I told my daughter this evening, if you believe deeply enough the chair you’re sitting on is lucky and will bring you luck -then it will.

The Magic of Believing written by Claude Bristol is a much ignored, but great, superlative read – one that I can identify with, and have used all my life (the concepts in that book) without realizing just how valuable and productive they were, and continue to be.

All all time great book in my opinion, and I’m RIGHT in saying that.

As tough times fall upon people, the self help gurus are making a killing – oddly enough, people following them never ask for either the guru’s own results (apparently X number of followers is enough) or – more importantly – measure their OWN results.

End of the day, anyone can say “my beliefs work”.

The only way to measure if they’re actually impacting your life positively is past or present results, friend. That is the bottom line most folks dont like to hear …

Tarot cards, affirmations, all this crap (though affirmations done right aren’t crap – the way they’re taught for the most part ARE) – is all taking away from the main thing – the mind – of course, as I told the wife this evening, people are looking for a balm to soothe their self inflicted wounds in terms of the economy, and the con men are making merry.

She didnt quite believe the con man part.

Anyway – this dinner – or post dinner conversation – a rarity in itself was about the impending move I’ve been talking about – NOT my own, which I’ve kept as usual, close to my chest, but the one the family is doing.

Lots of packing, taping etc, and apparently the wife’s pissed the numbers in the new house number add up to 8 “because its unlucky”.

I noticed the numbers the other day, to me 8 is the luckiest number ever – there is a reason the Chinese also view it as a harbinger of luck – somehow it fits the wife says the exact opposite. Hehe.

Apparently the Vastu of the house is all wrong (or Feng Shui, depending upon which language you use), apparently the mirrors in the house need to be all covered up – or it brings bad luck (wtf? I wrote 0 Excuses Fitness for one staring at myself in a mirror!) (on a woman’s dressing table no less, haha – the things we do!) (on a wonky computer at that too – the trusty ole Toshiba, 8 years old then..) … and all this stuff.

I know better than to comment or argue, so “its completely your choice” was what I said to all her house advice.

Which it is, I could care less to be honest other than my own cave which will remain functional and utilitarian to a bare minimum until I get to my own moving goal.

Anyway – I couldn’t resist putting in the part about 8 not being unlucky, that led to a whole discussion about how “everything Indian is right” – and numerology, astrology “all very important” – and how Boddhidharma originally came from India (finally something I can agree with – a fact!) (so did Tai Chi etc) …

But I had to keep telling my daughter the two things I always slip into these conversations.

First, it ain’t about cracked mirrors or Feng Shui. Its about BELIEF!

Believe something is true or bad luck, and that same thought penetrates down to the subconscious which then manifests what you “believe to be true”.

Thats how World Wars started, for one .. thats how economies collapsed, and collapse!

Second, repetition of the same chant, the same affirmations, the same incantations lead to belief, and once that belief becomes a deep seated CONVICTION – things begin to happen.

This is how the human mind works, my friend, and its amazing how many people ignore the utter and complete lack of any tangible results in their OWN life in ANY sphere and then try and “tutor” others on it. Amazing, mind boggling!

It’s the six inch space between your ears that truly matters.

I wonder if these people ever process the fact that some of the most successful people on this planet didnt let their dismal astrological “stars” predict and cause failure for them to manifest – the opposite!

Yours truly, another prime case there!

Its not about a black cat crossing your path and it being an lucky day or seeing magpies or what not – or  it being lucky.

Me? Black cats cross my path all the damn time.

To me, first thought that crossed my mind – damn, Im lucky! I’m blessed.

And sure enough, something good comes of it later.

Its about thinking, pity most people refuse to get it.

Anyway – speaking of mind boggling – and minds … here is a great review for Zero to HERO! from a fellow life coach Terrence Miller!

“After reading Mr. Mookerjee’s book,
I was impressed as to how the different aspect of advice were applicable to all areas of my life.

I am a teacher and a coach, and particularly with coaching, I use multiple facets.

I have since used the “VISUALIZE YOUR FUTURE” with my players before practice and games in order for them to use the “six inch space between their ears” more efficiently. It’s amazing how people of ALL AGES can be helped with the advice from this book. Highly recommended!”

-Terrence Scott Miller

Thank you, Terrence! Indeed, that six inch space between the ears is really what counts at the end of the day – and what we choose to put into it!” (unfortunately way too many folks cram it up wth utter and unproductive junk – but thats how the cookie crumbles, I guess! Pity though in that regard…

And he’s spot on – Zero to HERO! can help people accomplish their goals in ANY endeavor – field – undertaking – and any age group – or gender.

The human MIND is what it’s all about

Conceive, believe – then ACHIEVE!

You wont find any of the feel good hocus pocus and airy fairy “sound fancy Tarot card crap” (wife claims more than 50% of the US believes in Tarot. I beg to differ…) in this book.

You’ll find actionable tips that doers throughout the ages have used – including  yours truly – you’ll find stuff on belief, and VISUALIZATION done RIGHT – but not a single damn affirmation, at least not the kind the self gurus spout (Which dont work!).

Look for a great review coming from him for Gumption Galore too.

And thats that, my friend – if you’re struggling, and many of you are – then these books will show you the LIGHT at the end of the seemingly long tunnel. Believe me, there is a way out – its just not what you’re being taught for the most part!

Best,

Its all about … SELLING!
- And we sell everyday!

We sell ourselves daily – whether we realize it or not.

Going for a job interview, we sell our talents  to the employer, you’d think – but really speaking, we sell “ourselves” – subconsciously, especially for senior level positions, it often boils down to “personal traits” and whether the person in charge “likes you” (not saying talent does not matter – of course it does – skills do – but end of the day, it’s a person hiring a person, emotions count).

When you’re talking to someone, or discussing something, your selling your point of view – as when you’re debating, and your selling it in that you’re convincing the other person of YOUR viewpoint – and its validity etc.

Dating – your selling yourself to your partner!

No matter what human relationship you talk about – SALES is omni present.

And so I’ve always found it surprising horders of nuts globally give sales and salespeople a bad rap in general.

Sales is what brings home the bacon my friend – no sales = skinny kids – fact. Sales is what every CEO is concerned about first and foremost. Sales is the bottom line, anyone not wanting to get good at sales is seriously shortchanging themselves in terms of what they can achieve out of and from life in general.

Bearing all this in mind, here is what Janet Claire Parker – who has also narrated the audiobook for this project – has had to say about the book, “The 10 Commandments of Successful Sales“.

“This book holds a lot of information. This was all about using your best personality traits to promote what ever you wish you to sell. Whether what you sell a product or your self. Listen to this story and unlock your own power to influence your own progress. Anything you want is within your grasp so listen along with us and grow into your best self. 4 stars”

And she’s right!

She’s also done a great job on the narration – took all my feedback on board, and implemented it – right down to removing the “echo” from the voice when it was there, to studying the material beforehand to get a better grasp of it before talking about it (so it isn’t just pure narration – you’ll hear her voice – its different!)… thanks Janet!

And she’s right, you can sell literally anything using the tips and tricks in this book, and there’s way more than 10 if you  look between the lines, more like 20 …

Focus on your strengths, and strengthen your weaknesses while you’re at it, but use your strengths to sell – and better yourself, and that, my friend, should be all the incentive you need to buy this book NOW.

Those interested in the audio book, a link will be made available on the sales page when it’s available – or a seperate audio book page.

And thats that!

Best
