I thought tonight's episode of Entourage was great. I felt there were many hidden messages, as well as strategies that can be used in the art of seduction and in the business world. This is what we are going to do. I want to know what everybody gathered from this episode. In other words, what did you learn?
The person with the best analysis gets $100.00. This is not a joke. You have 24 hours.

Imaginary Relationships
On my flight back from Hong Kong last week, I noticed one of my younger colleagues dazing-off. When I had asked him what was on his mind, he mentioned a girl (nice to know he was thinking about our business ventures, I thought to myself). Having said that, I asked him how it was going? He replied: "You mean with the girl?" Of course, I said. He quickly replied "It's in the works." Our long flight home was spent analyzing how one dreams of the opposite sex (or same depending upon preference).
In observing human behavior, it is safe to say that to a degree we all do this. Many do not talk about such and others merely think they are alone in these matters. By these matters I am referring to choosing a person of the opposite sex (or the same sex depending upon your preference) and building this imaginary world in your mind about how life could be like with them. Somehow or another in doing this we can see 1,2...5 years down the road, kids, a house, new cars, and that adorable looking dog (well, maybe not the dog).
This imaginary behavior can consume our thoughts for minutes, hours, days, or even years. The dream sometimes is better than the reality. For the reality cannot be controlled. Thus, in reality this person may tell you or I to keep dreaming (upon which that is exactly what we will do). I bring this up because I believe there is correlation here to a successful person. Meaning, it's one thing to dream, it is another thing to act on that dream. I believe many are afraid of success the same way many are afraid of pursuing that obsession over the opposite sex (or same sex by matters of preference).
My point is to make it happen. To go for it and fear only that you didn't try.

The Power of Thoughts, Ideas, & Time...
CharlieLarge.net was a thought I had after I spent my 2-year hiatus reading. The goal was to provide the average person with a website, where if exploited properly, can change & alter your life forever. A website where a person can find resources and tools to hustle their way through the system and make miracles happen.
You all have a great idea. Everyone does. The problem I noticed is that many do not know what to do with them. Meanwhile that idea could make you extremely wealthy. CharlieLarge.net is a FREE place where you can take a thought and make it a world upon which everyone will enter. I capitalize FREE because I do not want your money. I don't need it.
I have received over 20,000 emails regarding who I am & what it is that I am doing within a week time span. I have received over 15,500 business proposals in less than 7 weeks. Now, allow me to address further (which I have done in previous blogs) why I am doing what I am doing.
I came from nothing. No trust fund, nothing. I managed to create great wealth by investing in my thoughts and finding others whose potential far succeeded their net-worth. Everyone has potential. The problem is more with each person believing so. In a time of economic despair it's very important that you never confuse your Net-Worth with your Self-Worth. I know I have in the past and have watched many individuals within business meetings morph from super-salesman to a guy wondering what are they even doing here.
I cannot stress this enough...You are who you want to be... not who you were 20 minutes ago. If you want to change, then change.
Einstein says it best in his book "Einstein's Dreams"
"A world without memory is a world of the present. The past exists only in books, in documents. In order to know yourself, each person carries their own Book of Life, which is filled with the history of your life. By reading its pages daily, we can relearn the identity of our parents, whether you were born high or born low, whether you did well or did poorly in school, whether you have accomplished anything in your life. Without your Book of Life, a person is a snapshot, a two-dimensional image, a ghost...With time, each person's Book of Life thickens until it cannot be read in its entirety. Then comes a choice....Some have stopped reading altogether. They have abandoned the past. They have decided that it matters not if yesterday they were rich or poor, educated or ignorant, proud or humble, in love or empty-hearted--- no more than it matters how soft wind gets into your hair. Such people look you directly in the eye and grip your hand firmly. Such people walk with the limber stride of their youth. Such people have learned to live in a world without memory." (pg.83-84, "Einstein's Dreams," by Alan Lightman)

Cynics v. Skeptics
"Cynics pass through life with a knee-jerk readiness to reject just about everything they see, hear, or even feel. Skeptics take in all-- but they do critically, pondering, and imagining the potential of each perception and, especially, each piece of received wisdom, critically judging is not to reject but to find."
I have come to note that the people who are usually against you either cannot picture themselves doing what you are doing or they simply don't see whatever it is working. Don't let that deter you from your dream.
Let me debrief you on the History of Apple Computers. Apple Computers was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (Woz). Woz at the time of creation (of Apple Computers) had been working for Hewlett Packard. Now, since Woz was engineering the personal computer on his own time, he had to inform HP about his new creation (which later became known as the Macintosh Computer). Upon telling HP about the new creation (the personal computer)- HP thought it was the dumbest idea they had ever heard. After the meeting Jobs and Woz were thrilled. You would think that HP's cyncism would have knocked both young men off of their high horse. That was obviously not the case.
Be weary of cynics because they are everywhere. For those of you who have seen the movie The Matrix- Think of the Agents inside the matrix as cynics. They can take over the body of anyone still inside the matrix (who isn't "unplugged").
(pg. 81 from Edison on Innovation, by Alan Axelrod)
When it comes to anything New people are either supportive or they against you. Of course there are those who just don't care but somewhere down the line I can guarantee they will have an opinion.
