Will this change change things?

Getting Mid Life Celebration in the hands of as many people as possible is worth forgoing any profit. Profit is not the goal.

Will lowering the paperback and Kindle price change things? Three weeks ago began the process of lowering the price. It may take another three weeks before we see it on Amazon.

Lowering the list price from $19.99 to 10.99 has been approved. Amazon then uses an algorithm to create a standard discount.

Still waiting on the Kindle price reduction from $9.99 to somewhere between $1.99 and $3.99. Amazon also discounts Kindle prices.

Nothing venture, nothing gained.

What’s the worst that could happen?

This morning’s Twitter stats, January 18, 2015.

What’s the worst that could happen?

Willing to try new things?

Willing to do it all the time?

Willing to occasionally push the boundaries?

What if you were?

Have lost 900 Twitter followers in three days because of a radical experiment.

Am expecting to lose thousands more. Willing to take the risk. Otherwise the regret in never knowing would be haunting.

48 hours later

(photo: The sun going down as the two-hour conversation reaches a good place to stop, for now.)

The walk yesterday afternoon was the last thing anyone could have seen coming.

Maybe two miles and two hours later they had finished the most important part.

Getting to, “Where do we go from here?”.

What looked like a simple father and son walk was actually a monumental conversation.

And so it goes.

They decided to give the next conversation a four-day deadline to happen – by New Year’s Eve.

The conversation yesterday had no deadline. But it did rely on a 14-year old’s courage to start an adult conversation. He didn’t initiate it, circumstances did.

Waiting for the perfect time to get it together?

Conferences are also a great place to teach. “Ever thought about that?”, he said to himself.

“The important work of reshuffling our life’s priorities should not wait to be done until our conditions are perfect”, he also said to himself.

Change is the only constant in midlife

Flying home from Portland, Oregon yesterday, September 11, there was a heightened awareness of change.

Not from the horrific tragedy in 2001.

Rather the keen sense of the drastic, impending change brought on by another dramatic moment in the near future.

Retirement.
