For the LOVE of the Game

If I call you on March 1, 2007, what would you be most excited to tell me one year from now?

What valuable “net positive” change will happen for you this year?

For me, a big net positive occurs today, March 1, 2006, as the March/April issue of Networking Times hits the news stands and book stores.

When the Networking Times magazine interviewed me last year for this story, we never discussed the actual theme of the issue. On Monday, the publisher Chris Gross dropped the bombshell, six words that sent a spine tingling chill up my back. He said the theme of the March/April issue is:

“For the Love of the Game!”
(See below how to read this issue and get valuable gifts.)

What could be better than playing for the love of the game?

Retire? Not me!
I love the game too much to let the calendar decide when I stop playing.

Playing for money is smart.
Playing for love is spiritual.

Money and love are NOT mutually exclusive.

You can play the game for money and love.

A healthy combination of both is smart and spiritual.

I am honored Networking Times asked to interview me. Playing “For the Love of the Game” is what I do. It speaks from my soul.

I am 28 years into the Virtual Entrepreneur™ game, and I still have fire in my belly.

I play for something more valuable than money:

I PLAY FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!

Do you play for the love of the game?
Do you love the game you are playing?
Is there a part of the game you love?

If so, remind yourself every day about that one thing you love about the game.

If you don’t love the game, and if you don’t love any part of the game, CHANGE THE GAME.

Play a NEW game.
Assemble a NEW team.
Find a NEW League.

Embrace NEW thinking.
Learn NEW skills.
Design a NEW game plan.
Write a NEW play book.
Run some NEW plays.

If you are ready to get back in the game, ready to rekindle your love for the game you are playing, or play a whole new game, we have a team for you. Heck, we’re going one step further:

We’re creating our own NEW LEAGUE!

The NEW Game, A NEW League

These past few months I have been working with dozens of people 1:1 along with small and large groups, small businesses and large corporations to play and win THEIR new games. The experience has been life changing.

I’ve also been pondering how we can:

Launch a NEW League
Assemble NEW teams
Attract NEW players.

Synchronicity is a serendipitous sequence of events that come together synergistically.

In short, it’s a Cosmic Convergence!
We are in the midst of such a Cosmic Convergence.

If you recently experienced some cosmic coincidences, you know what I mean.

If you have not yet, don’t feel left out. It’s coming your way.

It’s happening everywhere; everyone is playing a new game, in business, money and life.

It’s a NEW World.
There are NEW Rules.
We must embrace NEW “NO-Box” thinking.

Throw the box away. Grab your white board, or yellow pad and start the rest of your life today.

Choose the game(s) you want to play.
Claim your ticket and get on the field.

Remember, “imperfect action beats perfect inaction” every time.

Join a NEW league.
Pick a NEW team (pick two, three, four if you like).
Take the field with some NEW players.

Play a game you love.
Find something you love about the game you’re playing.
Play for the love of the game.

If your game is money, there are plenty of money games that can make you rich.

If your game is business, there are plenty of businesses that can make you money.

If your game is life, there is ONE and ONLY ONE GAME that will completely fulfill you:

YOUR GAME!
Play YOUR Game!

The NEW Game is YOUR Game.
Do it for the love of the game.

You earn more when you play a better game.
You play a better game when you play for the love of the game!

Which game(s) are you ready to play better?

I welcome you to join us.
Come to the park, claim your ticket and step on the field.

I support you to play YOUR game better.
I encourage you to play for the love of the game.

You’re a player.
Enjoy the game.

I’ll meet you on the field.
