That's the name of a webinar that Casey Eberhart is doing this week. I was on his webinar last week, which was the first time he's done it. Even though it was really good, he's made some tweaks to it and is offering it again this week.
Whether or not you've ever been to a Meetup, or even if you've never heard of it, you'll want to check out this webinar...especially if you're a business owner.
From the description of the webinar:
Meetup is a profit making machine.... IF you know how to set it up
properly. In this FREE webinar we will cover the basic overview on how
meetup can become a lead and generating machine as well as a PROFIT
center for ANY business!!
You read this right.... ANY business!
We will be presenting from an Organizer view point. If you have a
meetup, this will be awesome for you, if you have only thought about
it....well then come see what is possible.
Join us and your bank account will thank you!

Casey
You'll learn such things as:

All the news that's fit to wrap around a dead fish
The week in review
Monday - "Eat Your Way To Better Sleep" Sounds pretty good to me. "Impaired sleep
disrupts our metabolism and contributes to inflammatory states and
metabolic diseases, which can, in turn, further disrupt our sleep."
Tuesday - "Give your business A Leg Up" A new networking group in Modesto. "So, no matter what business you're in, make it to the Round Table on H
Street every Monday at 11:30 and learn how to grow your business!"
Wednesday - "How to Decorate a Man Room" As opposed to a man cave. "With every room co-opted in the house by women or children, and with few
bastions of manliness in the public sphere left standing to escape to,
men were relegated to claiming a solitary chair as their designated male
space. (Think Archie Bunker and the dad from Frasier.)"
Thursday - "I had a Super Saturday! How about you? #TBT " A SendOutCards Super Saturday in LA. "This second video is of Darla DiGrandi,
the 2016 Recruiter of the Year. Listen as she tells her rags to riches
to rags to riches story and find out how she made $10,000 in her first
month with SendOutCards."
What is a Super Saturday? I'll let Eventbrite tell you:
DESCRIPTION
Howdy SOCsters~~
This
is AWESOME! We have a VERY special guest trainer this month! Recruiter
of the year Darla DiGrandi is coming up from San Diego and will be doing
an event on RECRUITING! THIS IS HUGE!
If you want your team and check to grow, then fill your car and bring people to this Recruting Workshop!
New
format! We are super excited to be trying something new! Here is the
scoop. We are going to stop at 1:00 and then all go for a social lunch
that is TOTALLY optional! Lunch is just social hour!
Bring your phone and or your computer, we are gonna be having some fun!
Also,
remember the Golden Mailbox goes to the person who sends the most cards
between Super Saturdays and with the holidays here I can only imagine
who is gonna take home the prize.
We have a bunch of new people on the team, so come on out and meet them and bring your new folks as well.
Invite a guest!
This
will be a great Saurday event complete with an opportunity meeting for
you to bring your guests. The excitment in the room of everyone sharing
their experiences will definately get them fired up! We
wil also do some system training and general training on how to build
your SOC business. This event will be fantastic wherever you are in your
SOC experience. New people, people using the system and those who are
building!
We will be covering all of the newest enhancements and giving you some amazing ways to build your SendOutCards business.
Okay...what does all of this mean? Who or what is a SOCster? That's what Casey calls SendOutCards distributors.
Basically
a Super Saturday is a SOC opportunity meeting with some training. I'm
going to start offering Super Saturdays in the Modesto area soon.
Casey
wasn't able to make it on Saturday because he was the emcee and speaker
at another event in Vegas, but he left us in the very capable hands of Bruce Waterman,
the 2016 Volunteer of the Year...Bruce is everywhere where SOC is
involved. Bruce's SendOutCards business has really taken off. Find out
why as he does the opportunity presentation:
(That's me on the far right, directly in front of the white board).
The sound can be a little difficult to hear, but it's worth the effort!
This second video is of Darla DiGrandi,
the 2016 Recruiter of the Year. Listen as she tells her rags to riches
to rags to riches story and find out how she made $10,000 in her first
month with SendOutCards. I first heard Darla in January of last year
down in San Diego and I've heard her several times since and I never get
tired of hearing her stories and learning from her!
Overall,
it was an awesome event...although it was much better in person! If
you'd like to see Darla in person in Modesto, let me know...I'm
hopefully starting the Super Saturdays in the next month or two. After
we get going, I'll invite some of the leaders in the company such as
Darla, Bruce, Casey and Jordan Adler, the author of Beach Money, who is in my upline!
And I'd especially like to thank Kelly Pangilinan for driving all the way to LA with me to find out more of what SendOutCards is all about.
I did start the Modesto Super Saturdays the following month, but they've been pretty much non-existent the last few months, but they're coming back next month.
This post is based on a couple of posts from The Art of Manliness. The first article is the article from which this post gets its title.
The man room or “man cave”
can be defined as any place a man sets aside to pursue his interests,
whether with friends, family, or by himself. It can be an office, a
study, the basement, or a shed out back. For the purposes of this post,
the man room is not a shop or workspace, but rather a place for a man to
relax and enjoy himself.
Note:
If you clicked this article for advice on the most stylish gaming chair
to park in front of your Xbox and 50 inch television, sorry man, no help
here. However, if you love big solid desks, bookshelves full of books,
and comfortable seating where you can read, write, and share beers with
your close friends, then these tips are for you.
The article then goes on to describe some of the things that you'd put in your "man room" or study.
Mid-Century Desk
Sofa
Shelving
A Coffee Table
Lounge Chair
Wall Decor
My second bedroom is an office/storage space but I think it's about time to convert it from mostly storage to a full time office/study.
But why is there even a need for a man room? According to another article in AoM:
Once upon a time, the world belonged to men.
Literally.
Because men had exclusive power in both private and public life, they
controlled their surrounding environment and the way in which space was
designed and decorated. Consequently, the world was once a very
masculine place.
Thankfully, we’ve made progress in the area of gender equality and
women have brought their influence to bear in both the home and the
workplace. However, as with many other areas of modern life, the
pendulum has swung from one extreme to the other; instead of creating a
world that’s friendly to both male and female space, we’ve created one
that benefits female space at the expense of male space.
Even though male space had been declining since the 18th century, the true disappearance came in the 40's and 50's:
The period after WWII was filled with dramatic changes in American
life. One of the most powerful changes was the migration of white,
middle class families from cities to the suburbs. Large developments
like Levittown provided returning vets a chance to buy a piece of the
American Dream for a relatively affordable price and get started on
raising a family.
The rise of suburban culture with its emphasis on creating a domestic
nest, usually meant sacrificing male space for the good of the family.
Home designs in the 1950s exchanged the numerous, smaller rooms of the
Victorian home for fewer, larger rooms. The goal was to create more open
space where families could congregate together and bond while watching
the Honeymooners on TV.
With no room to call their own, men were forced to build their male
sanctuaries in the most uninhabitable parts of a home. Garages, attics,
and basements quickly became the designated space for men, while the
women and children had free reign over the rest of the house.
But over time, even these have lost their manliness:
But even these undesirable areas of the home would be taken away from
men. Basements and attics became game or entertainment rooms to be used
mainly by children. And even the least feminine of all places-the
garage-would be cleaned up and domesticated.
Until:
With every room co-opted in the house by women or children, and with few
bastions of manliness in the public sphere left standing to escape to,
men were relegated to claiming a solitary chair as their designated male
space. (Think Archie Bunker and the dad from Frasier.)
Isn't having a family friendly home a good thing?
Just as male friends
play an important role in giving men satisfaction and in shaping their
manliness, so does male space. It’s important that men have a place
where they can take off their social masks and revel in masculine
energy. For many men, the bureaucracy of corporate culture can leave
them feeling powerless and emasculated. Having a “man cave” at home, a
place men can decorate as they please and do what they want in can give
them a much-needed sense of control, empowerment, and of course
relaxation. And spending time in the company of other men at an all-male
hang out can help a man reconnect with his manliness.
There has been a movement of late towards establishing man caves, which normally features a big screen TV and often gaming consoles. These are often good on game day, but tend to be distracting at other times.
What do you think of the man cave vs study debate, as well as in a man room in general? Comment below...I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I went to a new networking group yesterday. It's called "A Leg Up - Small Business Networking" and was created by my friend Kimmer Sue. Kimmer Sue and her co-creator, Judy Stark, have belonged to different networking groups such as BNI and Gold Star Referral Clubs and decided to take the best of those clubs and eliminate the things they didn't like...such as having to pay dues.
This was the "meeting before the meeting", it was to get everyone's input on what they wanted to see from the group. It was decided to meet every Monday from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Round Table at 1801 H Street in Modesto (in the Smart and Final shopping center). Just in time for the daily lunch buffet! It was also decided that we're going to try to have a speaker every week. Judy is going to have a speaker from SCORE, of which she is an mentor, talk to us about how to create an elevator pitch for the first meeting next week.
There were six people at the meeting yesterday, and I must admit that it was a highly intelligent group...3 of the 6 were SendOutCards distributors, while the other 3 were all customers! And no, neither Kimmer Sue nor Judy are distributors.
So, no matter what business you're in, make it to the Round Table on H Street every Monday at 11:30 and learn how to grow your business!
Our gut microbiome has a surprisingly crucial influence on our
circadian sleep-wake cycle and our sleep quality. Experiments confirm
that when specific microbes in our gut are altered, our fundamental
states of sleep are disrupted. This limits our ability to recover from
stress and is necessary to protect against neurological diseases such as
dementia.
This continuous feedback between our gut and brain significantly
modulates our responses to stress. When that feedback is suboptimal, it
begins a cycle that leads towards metabolic health disorders such as
diabetes. Our sleep-wake cycle is part of this loop. Impaired sleep
disrupts our metabolism and contributes to inflammatory states and
metabolic diseases, which can, in turn, further disrupt our sleep. When
our gut microbiome is off-balance our capacity to achieve restorative
sleep is profoundly affected.
Here are four tips to start you on the path to a great night’s sleep:
-Our microbes have internal clocks, just as we do. We are at our best
when we find our optimal personal method of synchronizing and adjusting
to each other. In effect, if you feed your microbes well, they will
treat you right.
-Stick to a firm eating schedule and limit fat content. Both of these
factors can improve sleep quality. There is an added benefit. These
measures help with weight management, which is also mediated by the gut
microbiome.
-Keep calories the same, but make your meals smaller and more frequent.
Studies show that this improves sleep quality and metabolic parameters
such as blood glucose or serum lipid levels.
-Try adding either prebiotics or probiotics to your diet. These offer your microbial partners the nutrients they need.
But what should you eat and when? I talked about when in this blog post and what in this one. Is there a connection between chronotypes and doshas? I'm looking into it...hopefully I'll let you know soon.
