34th Anniversary Special – 34 NEW Game Plays
The NEW Game™… A Playbook for Business, Money and Life!
34th Anniversary Special – 34 NEW Game Plays
(These are excerpted from 121 Plays in The NEW Game Playbook)
Today I mark 34 years in business.
It was Halloween 1978 I declared myself psychologically unemployable and pathologically entrepreneurial for life.
For 7,500 days and 75,000 hours, I’ve punched the self employment time clock. I don’t know anything else.
Each year brings a wealth of wisdom.
I discovered 4 steps to mastering anything:
1 – Learn it.
2 – Do it.
3 – Teach it.
4 – Master it.
To celebrate 34 years, I picked 34 “plays” from The NEW Game™ Playbook I have learned, done, taught and continue to master.
All have elevated my game.
Many have changed my life.
Each has the power to transform yours.
As there are 121 NEW Game Plays in The NEW Game Playbook,
picking my top 34 is like asking which of my children I love more.
Enjoy and share with friends these 34 nuggets of wisdom.

I love 26 and 20. No such thing as failure, you succeed or you learn. What a powerful message for me, but one I can live and show my kids – powerful!
The other is take imperfect action. Once I heard this and did it, the results were amazing – in everything in life. So much better than perfect inaction! This has helped me organize my house, get to the gym, and make phone calls!
Thank you, Mitch!
Thank you. 31 and 33 are insightful.
Have a great day ahead

Thanks for sharing Laura. Love to hear it. “There’s no such thing as failure…” is one of my favorites. A friend’s daughter brought this quote into her elementary school in Florida and it’s now in all the classrooms. Keep taking imperfect action. Congrats. :>)
Yep sometimes the deals I tried hardest for and didn’t get were blessings in disguise. Thanks for your comment.
