Where is the value in a workshop, or a consulting call? What are you really taking home? Where is the value in my paid podcast: the recording of my private conversations with selected individuals?

I am looking for that myself, I am looking for that for you… to identify what is the value.

As an aside: seeing value is surprisingly a gene… a capacity, that is on, meaning active only for about one percent of humanity.

Some genes need other genes active to stay on… I think foresight needs the seeing value capacity to be able to stay on.

People’ behavior boggles the mind… because people are spending untold amounts of money on stuff… so what guides them if they don’t see value.
And the answer is both surprising and obvious: what guides them is their wants.
You want something and you buy it. And, obviously, you don’t see value… this is why so many people buy something that they don’t know what to do with. They don’t know how to get the value out of it.

You don’t even ask if you can, you just whip out your credit card and you buy it.

And then it sits there, unused, and surely unappreciated.

Earlier today I offered to turn on the foresight gene… but do people send me emails: please tell me more about it… how to use it, how to keep it alive?

No, they just send me money as if it were an ice cream cone, with absolutely no obligation on their part.

But it’s $45! Yeah. It is only worth that much if you need it. If you know how to use it because it has been what is missing. And you have been trying, and looking, and pondering, and could not see the consequences of your actions… Yeah, then it is worth $45 and more.

I have both seeing value and the foresight genes active.
I didn’t always have these genes on… I have been forcing them on with painful and consistent practice…
If you compare a gene or capacity activity to a light bulb… those two capacities are on, but the light is dim.

About 10%… not very bright.

So I am still working on it. Before every call or activity, I commit to come away with one piece of value, something that has the potential to last me and keep on providing me with value for a lifetime.
So I am training myself to not go for the want, go for finding the value and then… gasp… mining it. Mining it like a gold mine.
Or making it work for me… for a long time to come.

I am accomplishing the first part every time, but the mining it, the making it work for me is still limping along on one leg… Unless I remember to take a note of it, and contemplating it is what’s missing.

I have found out that unless I turn around and teach it, it becomes as good as if it never happened.

I have a few calls in a week. And if I get one nugget out of each, a nugget that I can identify during a call, just one even if the call is a 3-hour call and the nugget is… ahem just a nugget, I am golden… especially if I teach it… because then I’ll use it.
As a leader of a call I often fret
