Key into your own life and times as though you were a journalist writing a story about it. There’s something in “witnessing” your own life from the point of view that will liberate you to make this year an adventure slightly beyond what you were used to.

Yup, it’s Friday the 13th. Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 10 of the Second Season’s My Pandemic Year’s Natural Experiment, on March 13th in the spring of 2020 here in California.

Figuring out how many BCC emails I could send at any one time turned into a trial and error task stretching out for most of this past week.
-
- In my “Working on the Business” mode 318 outbound emails to proteges I had matched with mentors in the past and another 52 to their mentors escaped my iCloud server’s cutoff.
- But, for the last two days I logged in the sent backs for a variety of reasons into my “Friends of Steves” spreadsheet and searched on LinkedIn for the most current I could find.
- Michelle, one of those first wave of Proteges who graduated in 2019 sought advice about starting up a business. Her request got me thinking about topics
- I had already written in book chapters and in one of my blogs that could be an article to offer the public on Patreon. I sent her Preneurs .
- What’s the easiest way to offer the “Best of” teaser articles in Patreon from my websites?
- Maybe my bonus offering is 60 days of free newsletter for those of us stuck at home.
- Or “stuff“ from missing chapters added in Knowledge Banking, but not included in any of the manuscripts. Or, possibly about change and uncertainty from Know Laboratories.
Michelle’s unexpected reply felt lucky for triggering ideas, but who knows if potential Patreon followers will care? Is this gold or fool’s gold?
So, Steve your Holiday Tau feels timely. I’m full of self-doubt.
“5” Steve Zahn, 51: “There’s a time to doubt yourself and a time to go full-on forward. Don’t let them overlap. Once you decide, step with confidence.” Scorpio
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Haha. If you’ve been following along this definitely isn’t my birthday, but I wish it was. I hope by finishing the “Volume Two — Work” and “Volume Three — Wisdom and Legacy” manuscripts will appeal to both demographics.
Today’s Holiday Birthday:
Key into your own life and times as though you were a journalist writing a story about it. There’s something in “witnessing” your own life from the point of view that will liberate you to make this year an adventure slightly beyond what you were used to. Young people emulate you, and older people need you.
Oh, oh. Have I not knocked hard enough today? Is your Holiday Tau predicting bad things for me? I knew it.
“4” Steve Carell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “Defeat isn’t the end. It’s a chance to regroup, change the plan, give it another go.” Leo
Thanks, G&G. If I combine your TauBit of Wisdom with Today’s birthday it adds up to the “Volume Three — Wisdom and Legacy” manuscript!
“5” Steve Greene, 34; Steve Guttenberg, 61: “Knowledge is obtained through study. But the only way to become wise is through experience.” Virgo
Yeah, now we’re glowing. Thanks Coach Kerr I’m feeling more inspired.
“5” Steve Kerr, 54: “The interesting ideas will come and go, giving little sparks to your day. It’s the great ideas that will stick around, lighting a fire in you.” Libra
But, wait there’s more. Wow, thanks for being on my Tau Team Steve. Intelligence, originality and nuance — great qualities to emulate.
“5” Steve Aoki, 41: “Ordinary thinking does not recognize extraordinary qualities. You have the higher intelligence to appreciate originality and to discern wonderful nuances.” Sagittarius
