The Storm of the Century?

Hurricane Sandy could be called The Storm of the Century.

Don’t you think?

The storm itself was over 1000 miles wide.

Shoreline, sand dunes, piers, docks, ships and boats — devastated by the wind and surge.

Houses, shops, famous landmarks —– entire neighborhoods —– wiped out.

1000s of trees uprooted or damaged and yet to be hauled off as debris.

As you get into the cities, especially New York City and Manhattan … they are just now assessing the damage to the subways and trains.

The tunnels are flooded.

The basements are flooded.

Even LaGuardia Airport is mostly underwater.

The death toll, fortunately, was not as bad as it could have been.

People like Gov. Christie of New Jersey told his people to “get the hell out.”

Life, as many people knew it, will never be the same.

It might be significant if The Storm of the Century only affected 1 state or 1 city.

This hurricane has impacted small towns, cities, states, Wall Street, and the airline industry.
17,000 flights canceled as of this writing.

The Storm of the Century, well, she could be called that, proceeded to damage the Eastern Seaboard and then went inland with it’s effects being felt and seen in the Great Lakes and on into Canada.

Amazing.

Not only did we have a hurricane come from the south and east, but we had the big cold front coming from the north and west.

The two collided and we’ve had large amounts of snow falling from Tennessee and North Carolina and all over the Ohio River basin.

My pastor’s folks live in West Virginia and they have had a lot of snow.  Plus it’s the heavy, wet snow that can cause so much damage to trees and buildings.

Was Sandy The Storm of the Century?

It will certainly go down as one of the most expensive and destructive hurricanes of all time.

The financial estimates will be changing from day to day and the insurance adjustors do their jobs.

But let’s not forget about Katrina and what it did to New Orleans and southern Mississippi and the whole Gulf Coast.

But, then have we forgotten about the Tsunami of 2004.

It was Sunday, December 26.

And it was caused by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean.

The final death toll was 283,000.

So, was Sandy The Storm of the Century?

Let’s wait and see.

There may be more storms, earthquakes, eruptions, tornadoes, drought, floods…
what some people call Acts of God.

I called them Mother Nature Gone Wild.

Let’s reserve the title of The Storm of the Century to be bestowed by a future generation!

Stop Recording History and Start Making History

 

Stop Recording History and Start Making History

One of my favorite TV shows is Fringe.

It's on it's last season on FOX.  I'm sad, but I've enjoyed each season with them.

It's a great Sci-Fi series that features an FBI division [Fringe] that investigates the
unusual. I call it X Files on steroids.

In it's current season they are dealing with an invasion by The Observers, or Baldies,
as some people call them.

Somehow, these beings invaded the world.

They changed everything.

And they are dangerous because they can read your thoughts.

The last episode I saw was a story about a group of people these remnants of the
Fringe division found in Pennsylvania.

They had some kind of skin disease that disfigured their skin.

It kinda looked like tree bark.

The interesting thing about these people who were hidden away from
The Obervers is what they were doing.

Their "purpose" was to record history.

It was amazing.

They were recording all history all over the planet that took place since
The Baldies showed up.

The climax of last week's show took place when the main historian had to
 make a difficult decision...  to continue doing what he was doing, or take a risk
and help the Fringe team save the world.

It's not everyday that you get to save the world!

The Recordist had to tell his son about the situation and that he might not make it
back home if he helped Dr. Bishop and friends.

But...

Here's what he had to say that made an impact on me ...

Sometimes you have to stop recording history and start making history.

That is a great thought!

I don't own or lease a DVR to record TV shows. It would be nice.

But if I had one here in my house I would probably waste my life away watching
TV shows and movies that I didn't have time to watch in the course of a week,
 but suddenly now I have time to watch. I don't think so.

So, the bottom line of having a DVR is that you can record history.

History =============>>>>>>  the past.

Fringe got me to thinking again!

Yes, a TV show.

I love history, but I don't want to live in the past.

We really only have the present and all our decisions we make
from minute to minute determines our future.

So, for you, for me, the answer shall be:

Don't treat your life like a DVR.

Take ACTION.  Make something happen. Something better.

Make a better history in your

• relationships
• finances
• spiritual life
• business
• education

How to Build A Business and Still Have A Life

 

How to Build A Business and Still Have A Life

I remember my first introduction to MLM, Direct Sales,
Work-From-Home, or whatever you want to call it.

It was in the early 60's.

Can you imagine what was available back then?

Amway!

My dad hosted a party at our small house in south Texas.

I remember someone drawing circles on a poster board or
chalk board [I don't think we had white boards back then!]
.
I also remember a can of shoe shine and various soap products
that my parents purchased.

That was my first exposure to marketing.

Of course, my mom has always purchased Avon products from
someone at church or down the street.

I grew up with various "soap-on-a-rope" and cologne decanters.

As an adult I have purchased from my friends, too.

How to Build A Business and Still Have A Life

Fast Forward to the Present, --
technology has advanced at the speed of light!

There are still some Direct Sales organizations that sell soap.

We all need soap.

But the model has changed for selling soap.

 

Now, back to How to Build a Business and Still Have A Life...

A friend of mine asked me why I joined Empower Network and
didn't stay with his 90 Day Challenge organization.  Here's my answer:

"I didn't want to have shake parties in my house every week."

build a business and still have a life.

October Surprise

October Surprise

It happens every 4 years.

The Dems and the Republicans get into it.

There's mudslinging.

There's trash talking.

There are debates.


And then...

... sometimes ...

there is...

 

...an October Surprise!

What is it?


It's clearly a well designed ploy by the opposition to knock one party off balance.

The surprise element is what does it.

• A surprise ---- you don't see coming.
• A surprise ---- you don't have a plan of defense.

In politics it's called the October Surprise because it usually comes during the 30 days before the November election.

In life you can have an October Surprise every month.


For instance, this past week, Monday to be exact - 3 days ago...

I was working in my office and I heard a clang, clang, clang coming from the kitchen.


My wife came to my door and said, "You won't believe what just happened."

I said, "What did you break now?

[You see, on Sunday she had accidentally broken a glass bowl full of peas]

I followed her to the kitchen, looked around, and ...

there it was ...

the October Surprise [I'm writing this on October 25!]

The handle to the kitchen faucet had broken off!

Can you imagine?

We were fortunate and there were no leaks.

But, man...

I could never have thought this would happen.

What's been your October Surprise?

 Deal with it.

Learn from it.

But don't let it mess up your campaign to live life to the fullest.


Lawrence Tam was an engineer working down in Houston.

His October Surprise?

He got laid off from his job.

What did he do?

How did he respond to this unexpected game changer?

Watch this video.

Lawrence Tam didn't let his unexpected situation stop him.

He used it as an opportunity.

A stepping stone.

 

He turned his October Surprise into a wonderful thing.

What in the world could unite Dems and Republicans?

 What in the world could unite Dems & Republicans?

With the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates
on TV many of my friends are standing with their parties.

There have been many comments on Facebook,
Twitter, and Google+.

With the Presidential election in the USA only a few
weeks away I’m sure polarity will increase.

It’s kind of like sports.

People that are true UNC [Carolina] fans bleed
Carolina Blue!

The same with Auburn, Michigan, and Notre Dame.

Today two of my favorite teams go head to head
down in Dallas for the Red River Rivalry.

OU fans from Oklahoma and Longhorn fans from
the great state of Texas don’t like each others
colors or mascots.

They are very vocal on who they support.

But …

… what if there were a way to unite these people?

I believe there is.

What in the world could unite Dems & Republicans?

Empower Network!

I saw it when I went to San Diego for the
Fighting the Forces of Evil conference.

San Diego

There were people there from all over the world:
Singapore, Australia, Costa Rica, England, Canada

These were people of all walks of life.  Everyday people.

Some of these people were Christians, Jews,
and even atheists.

And some of these folk were Democrats,
Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians.

So many things in this world can separate us,
but what could unite us?

A common interest in bettering our lives and economic situations … … and being able to help others do the same.

What is uniting Dems & Republicans?

I Can't Believe I Did it ... Twice!

I Can't Believe I Did it ... Twice!

Daily Cup

You see that nice coffee cup someone gave me?

I love it. 

I even love what it says ... Daily Cup.

The cup reminds me of what happened ...

... Twice ...

in less than a week!

My wife had eaten some chili for a meal.  I think she made 

Frito Pie, which is a great Southern meal.

It's very simple.

You take a can of chili, heat it up, add Frito's corn chips

(or any brand), and maybe some shredded cheese and

you have a great meal!

Well, she ate some and left the rest of the chili in a large cup,

similar to my coffee cup.

I came in for lunch one day this week.  

Decided to heat up the chili and finish off the corn chips.

So, I popped it into the microwave, set it for 2 minutes -------

-------- Do you see where this is going?

Came back 2 minutes later.  Decided I would pull it out.  Right?

Man, that handle was hot! ------- (yelling in the kitchen)

A very short while later I thot it safe to take it out and ....

you guessed it... (more yelling)

(look, I'm just being honest with you)

Well, the third time I used a dish towel and was able to enjoy a good

side dish with my turkey sandwich.

Fast Forward to yesterday

I came home for lunch and needed a beverage, so I grabbed a Lipton

tea bag and a cup of water and proceeded to place it inside the ...

you guessed it ...

Nuke machine!

Again, I set it for 2 minutes. I really need to examine my pattern here. LOL

Anyway, when the timer dinged I reached inside for the handle and ...

You guessed it again ...

It was hot.

But I had already committed my hand and arm into taking the cup out of

the microwave.

But it was so hot that I couldn't hold on to it and I spilled the whole

cup of hot tea onto the counter, the cabinet, and the floor.

(I did clean it up)

This was accompanied by more yelling on my part.

I can't believe I did it twice in one week.

You might be like me. 

I have been burned by MLM's, internet businesses, and the like.

More than once!

Maybe disappointed might be a better word.  Lack of training. Empty promises.

Can you relate?

I gave up on the industry for 4 years until I found out about Empower Network.

Empower Network attracted me right off the bat when I found out there were

• No shake parties in my home
• No cold calling
• No hounding prospects, friends or family members
• No 3 way calls trying to close a prospect
• No wimpy commissions

Perhaps you've had some bad experiences in the past.

Today is a new day. See what makes Empower Network different.  I did!

You can get started for only $25.

If you haven't watched the presentation do so here.

Don't give up on your dreams of making a living at home.

Don't give up on the idea that you can build a business while

still having a life.

Thanks,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

(I also wish those of other faiths and religions of the world the best of the Holy Days and a prosperous New Year.)

Hi, everyone.  Chuck Whetstone here.

I wanted to be the first to wish you Happy Holidays.

I know I'm a little early.

You know why?

Because I want you to experience the best Christmas and New Year you have ever had!

This can be the best holiday season ever!

But you need to take massive action NOW.

• What if you had all the money you needed for those presents you want to buy? And you didn't have to use a credit card, but you paid cash?
• What if you could give a large donation to your favorite church or charity?
• What if you could bless someone else and pay for their Christmas this year?

That happened to me in 1978.

We were living in Asheboro, NC.  I was working at a furniture factory and our baby was about 7 months old.

 We didn't make much money and didn't have any "extra" for Christmas.

 Brother Cap Burrow,  an older man in our church, called me one night in December.

 He said, "Brother Chuck.  Can you meet me down at the Belk department store?"

 I said, "Sure, Cap.  Why?"

 Cap said, "Our family has decided to spend our Christmas on you.  Instead of buying each other presents we want to buy you a new suit."

 I was floored!

 What could I do but humble myself and meet him at the store on Sunset Avenue.

 He met me there and purchased a 3 piece suit (I had always wanted one), a new shirt and tie! 
 He also wanted to buy me a pair of shoes and socks but I talked him out of it.

 I wore that suit proudly for several years.  It meant so much to me for Cap, Mabel and the children to give me their Christmas.

 I am still blessed today ... 34 years later!

Don't you deserve a  chance at a better future?

A better life for you and your family?

I think so.

My friend, Tony Rush, made $300,000 in 300 days.

Kevin & Melissa Knecht made $20,000 in 4 months, then went on to average a minimum of  $25k per month.

These are people I know and have spent time with.

They are nothing special, but they are special people because they made a decision and took action!

Now, we don't know what results you will have ...

But ...

With Empower Network ... we promise you this:

• Your blog is setup for you
• No home parties
• No inventory
• No grinding and hounding prospects
• No 3 way calls
• Commissions - You Get ALL the Money
• We show you how to do it
• You make money today

But ...

You can't wait until Thanksgiving.

You can start today for only $25.

So, Merry Christmas and a Happy ... and Prosperous .... New Year to you!

Scary Movies

Scary Movies

I don't like Halloween.  You see, Halloween is a tradition that promotes fear, even if you get candy.

Isn't it crazy how all the traditional religious holidays that had a special meaning, like Easter, Christmas and All Soul's Day, have been perverted by greeting card companies, candy manufacturers, department stores and even Hollywood!

 

There are always Scary Movies that come out this time of year.

The writers, directors and producers of Hollywood love to scare us and they know we love to be scared.

You see, I've always been intrigued with Scary Movies, but not the gory, violent ones.

My son got me to watch Saw with him.  You see, that's what I'm talking about.  I don't want to see a lot of blood and see people suffer.

But, I started watching the classic Scary Movies on Saturday afternoon reruns when I was a kid. And yes, they were in black & white.

They would play Frankenstein (1931) with Boris Karloff.  Or The Mummy (1932), that he also starred in.

I loved The Thing From Another World (1951) which starred James Arness as the monster.  He was really just a big, giant shoot of broccoli!

My parents took me to see the original The Fly (1958) when I was very small.  I hid under my seat!

So, I like the classics.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) starring Michael Rennie. Wow!  Scary + aliens + super robots!

I could go on an on about Scary Movies.

One more!

Because I don't like to be really scared I have never seen all of The Exorcist, or Amityville Horror, or Nightmare on Elmstreet.

I like to sleep at night and don't want to worry about every noise and bump in the night that I hear!

But, one of the greatest scary movies was Jaws (1975).

You say, Chuck, come on!  It was a movie about a killer shark.

Exactly!

It came out in 1975 and I remember being on tour with our group, Theophilus.  We were traveling for Gulf Coast Bible College and were touring the East Coast.

My friend, Paul, and I, and maybe others ended up going to see the movie.  I think we were in Kentucky at the time.

Do you know what makes most movies scary?  The music!

Music is so dramatic and can add suspense to a scene.  Composer John Williams knows this like no other!

Whenever the shark was getting ready to strike what did you hear? The low cellos and basses in the orchestra playing the famous 2 notes.  Slowly at first, then building in tempo and volume!

So, the best scene in the movie, to me, is when they are checking out a submerged boat and a severed head comes into view.  Richard Dreyfuss or Roy Scheider is under the water in  scuba gear and mask.  When the head appeared and they jumped - so did I!  I was scared!

Some of us were swimming after a concert one night.  We were in a small above ground pool that was about 3 feet deep.  Guess what?

Yep!  I was swimming underwater with my eyes open and I started getting scared.  Why?

Because it was night,  the lights and shadows were bouncing around the pool,
I was in water swimming ...  a lot of what I saw in Jaws except it was in a pool and not the ocean.

But guess what?  I was spooked!  Thank you Steven Spielberg and John Williams.

What's the point?

 

Scary Movies

They do exactly what they are supposed to do ... scare you!

What are you afraid of?

• The future?
• Politics?
• Terrorists?
• The economy?

King James 2000 Bible (©2003)
For God has not given us the spirit of fear;

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Talk to God about your fear.  He wants to replace it with a life of power, full of love, and a disciplined mind.

Rob Fore - Isn't It Worth $25 to Find Out if it Was True?

Hey, everyone.

Julie and I recently went to San Diego for a weekend.

We saw some close friends while we were there, stayed at a nice hotel, 

and ate some good Mexican food in Old Town.

But, the main purpose of our trip was to attend Empower Network's 

Fighting the Forces of Evil event at the San Diego Convention Center.

It was an epic event with 3,000 people from around the world having fun, learning, 

seeing money given away, meeting new friends and learning from the best 

internet marketers on the planet.

Here is a clip of Rob Fore being interviewed by Eric.  I just happened to walk by 

and turned my phone on as they were talking.  Rob gives a compelling reason to 

join Empower Network at the $25 level to get on the path to financial liberty.

Isn't that what you want?  I do.

I No Longer Sing the Blues

 

I No Longer Sing the Blues

© Chuck Whetstone, 2012, All Rights Reserved

This is one of my favorite songs that I've written.  My mom says she wants me to sing it at her funeral.  That's how much she likes it.  It's my musical & spiritual testimony.  You don't have to agree with it.  But I hope you like the music.

 

To listen to this tune, please click here.  Thanks. I No Longer Sing the Blues.

Well, all my life I've been playing some kind of music.  I was raised on Elvis, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley & The Comets.

The Beatles came along and sang about "Sergeant Pepper",  "Here, There and Everywhere",  "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds";  The boys from Britain were right!  I was a real "Nowhere Man!"

I've been north and south, east and west playing music;  I've been in nightclubs, country clubs, coliseums and convention centers.  One time I even played on "Saturday in the Park."

I like ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Molly Hatchet; Elton John, Johnny Rivers, Leon Russell and Bob Dylan.  And just like the song he wrote says, "You Gotta Serve Somebody."

So, in 1969 I gave my heart to Jesus.  Now my music and my life are more on the Rock than ever.  The beat might sound the same, but...

I No Longer Sing the Blues!

For the rest of my life I'm gonna sing and play for Jesus.  You see I'm trusting and obeying, this world is not swaying me no more, no more, no more.
My life's built on the Rock.  My name's up on the Roll.
I hung up my "Blue Suede Shoes," and

I No Longer Sing the Blues!

The Reluctant Leader

 

The Reluctant Leader

I loved growing up in the 60's.  I mean we had great TV back in those days.  Some of the shows I watched were Gilligan's Island, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Monkees, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., I Dream of Jeanie, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Flipper, Sea Hunt, Route 66, The Fugitive, Laugh In, Candid Camera, and the list could go on and on.

Don Knotts played a lovable Barney on The Andy Griffith Show.  He was able to propel himself onto the Big Screen because of his success playing the bumbling deputy.

One of his movies released in 1967 was "The Reluctant Astronaut."  This was during the heyday of NASA and man trying to break through the gravitational force of earth to reach for the stars, eventually landing men on the moon!

In the movie Don played a regular guy who was a custodian at NASA but his family and friends thought he got hired as one of the new astronauts. It's funny how he reacts to different situations, even when he tries to tell his father the truth.

Eventually he got onto a spacecraft by accident.  It blasted off into outer space with Don as a passenger, hence the title, The Reluctant Astronaut.

I was The Reluctant Leader!

As our staff met this week we reviewed the introduction and first chapter of The Truth About Leadership by James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner.

We referred to Truth#1 - You Make A Difference.

As we shared I was able to talk about my own leadership. I told them how I considered myself to be

The Reluctant Leader.

I never thought of myself as a leader.  I've always been a follower and content to do so.

I mean, if they were choosing sides for a baseball game when I was a young boy, it was okay to be picked last.  Of course, my pride wanted to let me be picked early on, but my skills probably dictated my position on the team.

But over the years I have developed into a leader, even if I am somewhat reluctant.

Empower Network

I always thought of myself as just a musician ...
... Someone who just played the piano and guitar and sang.

But somehow through dealing with people and in personal growth I have evolved into a Leader!

Maybe you are struggling with your abilities as a leader.  Maybe you are reluctant about the call that's on your life.

Maybe you don't feel qualified.  I think that's what I felt most of the time.

Leaders are like John Maxwell, Tony Robbins, and Steve Jobs.   Not like me.

So, if you are a struggling, Reluctant Leader like I was

Be encouraged that

1. You make a difference
2.  You are important

Now, go be a Leader!
