			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #660099;">AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP&#8211;ONLY HEROES NEED APPLY&#8230;</span></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2603" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Sitting-with-The-Dragon.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2603" title="Sitting with The Dragon" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Sitting-with-The-Dragon-300x264.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="264" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sitting with The Inner Dragon</p></div>
<p><strong>Authentic Leadership</strong> is not a path for the timid.</p>
<p><strong>Courage is a prerequisite, an absolute necessity.</strong></p>
<p>That’s because <strong>in order to become an authentic leader, you have to change. And change requires courage.</strong></p>
<p>For those who simply want &#8220;leadership development,&#8221; there are books, courses and coaches. But for those who understand that the world has changed along with the economy comes a soul-deep awakening <strong>that leadership at all levels must also change</strong>.</p>
<p><a title="Yin Yang Authentic Leadership" href="http://dovbaron.com/2011/12/12/authentic-leadership/" target="_blank"><strong>The days of leadership through intimidation are dimming</strong></a>, their dusk is falling, and the dark night will soon be upon them.  <strong>The daybreak of the light of authentic leadership is already brightening the horizons.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The time of the new authentic leaders is upon us</strong>. Some who were leaders under the old model will embrace the new style of leadership. They will do this because they understand that <strong>leadership is</strong> not just about having your followers do as you command, but rather <strong>having your followers flourish in an authentic environment.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Business is now more than ever a process of relationship</strong>. As I’ve said before, those relationships must be authentic .That means <strong>face-to-face business</strong>, not just with your customers, but <strong>with every one in and on your team, <a title="Transparent Leadership" href="http://dovbaron.com/2012/04/21/transparent-leadership/" target="_blank"><strong>You Will Have To Let Your Employees, Co-workers, and Customers In.</strong>.</a></strong></p>
<p>The great writer and visionary <strong>Joseph Campbell</strong> outlined the hero’s journey in his classic work, <strong><em>“The Hero with a Thousand Faces.”</em> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Today’s new leaders must enter the hero&#8217;s journey that is already changing the face of business.</strong> They will hold true to the path, knowing that<strong> real treasure is always hidden in the darkest place</strong>, and that it is to this dark place that you inherently fear to go in case you never come back that <strong>everything that will give your life meaning awaits.</strong></p>
<p>I know this to be true because <strong>I have journeyed there; I have faced the dragon that can&#8217;t be slain, but merely tamed.</strong> I have also had the honor of guiding many others on their own heroic journey.</p>
<p><strong>Why should you undertake such a journey</strong> if you have all you want, if you have many things that others envy?</p>
<div id="attachment_2605" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/The-Cave.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2605" title="The Cave" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/The-Cave-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Cave of Self Discovery</p></div>
<p>It’s because <strong>those who seem to have everything know it isn&#8217;t enough</strong>. You must enter the cave you fear or live a life without true fulfillment.</p>
<p>Know this: <strong>everything you truly desire awaits you in that darkest of places</strong>.</p>
<p>Remember, <strong>an Authentic Leader is not without fear.</strong> However, <strong>the Authentic Leader&#8217;s vision is always going to be greater than the fear.</strong></p>
<p>So it comes down to this: <strong>Do you have the courage to be an authentic leader</strong>, to go in and claim that treasure on your own heroic journey?</p>
<blockquote>
<h3>As Joseph Campbell says, <em><span style="color: #333399;">“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”</span></em></h3>
</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In AMC’s popular TV drama “Mad Men” set in the 1960s, the Madison Avenue Advertising Company, “<strong>Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce</strong><strong>” is the company everyone wants to either work at or emulate </strong>because they are on the cutting edge of marketing.</p>
<div id="attachment_2565" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 214px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Clark-Kokich-color-4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2565" title="Clark Kokich color 4" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Clark-Kokich-color-4-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="136" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Clack Kokich</p></div>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the modern day version of this fictitious firm?</strong></p>
<p>Arguably, it’s<a title="Razorfish.com" href="http://razorfish.com/" target="_blank"> <strong>Razorfish</strong></a>.</p>
<p><em>(No, not because of the </em><em>debaucherous</em><em> antics of the owners.) </em></p>
<p>In today’s new economy,  <strong>Razorfish is the marketing leader, specifically in  digital marketing</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>In 2009, <a title="Clark Kokich on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/DoOrDieBook" target="_blank">Clark Kokich</a> relinquished the Razorfish CEO role</strong> to Bob Lord, although Clark stayed on and is now chairman of the company. However, <strong>Clark</strong> is not just at the forefront of marketing, he has actually <strong>put himself at the forefront of another industry</strong>, a<strong>n industry</strong> he pulls no punches in saying <strong>that is as visionless and outdated as vinyl records in a download world.</strong> (That’s a not a direct quote, by the way, but it’s an accurate image).</p>
<p><strong>That industry is the publishing industry.</strong></p>
<p>Last fall, Clark wrote and released his book: <strong><em>Do or Die: Surviving and Thriving in a World Where Old Ways of Marketing Aren&#8217;t Getting It Done.</em></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2566" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 219px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Do-or-Die-book.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2566" title="Do or Die book" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/05/Do-or-Die-book-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="157" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Do or Die by Clark Kokich</p></div>
<p>What makes this book so extraordinary is that it was <strong>the world’s first business book published exclusively as a fully-interactive app</strong>. I had to get it on my iPad to see what it&#8217;s all about, and <strong>I loved it!</strong> In fact, it is currently available only as an iPad app. (Android and Kindle Fire versions are planned for release shortly).</p>
<p>Let me tell you, <strong>this is the future of books</strong> as we know them. The book is fully interactive. You can read or listen to the contents. You can also watch a series of videos from other experts in the field of marketing, and you can see case studies of those companies who have really grasped the advantages of digital media.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do or Die</em></strong> is more than just a model of the evolution of publishing. It also outlines <strong>a clear strategy for businesses to survive and thrive in a world of never-ending technological change</strong>.</p>
<p>Here’s where it gets really exciting.  <a title="Clark Kokich on The Accidental Guru Show" href="http://radiodov.com/leadership/clark-kokich-accidental-guru-radio-show-10/" target="_blank">On May 10, 2012 <strong>Clark Kokich is my guest on The Accidental Guru Show</strong>.</a> At that time, we are going to get into the nitty gritty of the modern marketing world and how quickly it is changing. What’s REALLY exciting is that we are going to talk about how you can get on top to it right now.</p>
<p>But that’s not all. Clark Kokich has some very radical ideas of what leadership is, and is not, that he is going to share with all of us.</p>
<p>Just as a hint, he talks about the fact that we are now in the age of<strong>  &#8220;What you know is an Anchor,&#8221; </strong>which means that <strong><a title="Clark Kokich on The Accidental Guru Show" href="http://radiodov.com/leadership/clark-kokich-accidental-guru-radio-show-10/" target="_blank">experience no longer equals expertise</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Interested? You should be. In fact, if you care about business, <strong>if you care about your future in business and the fast-paced changes in today’s marketing, you owe it to yourself to listen to this totally enthralling interview.</strong></p>
<p>The fact is: <strong>you can’t afford be a “Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce” in a “Razorfish” world!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> I trust that you found this article valuable, if so <strong>feel free to send this to your friends.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2538" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 169px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Jobsosaurus.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2538" title="Jobsosaurus" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Jobsosaurus-300x195.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="103" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jobs-osaurus</p></div>
<p>In my last article, some considered me a little blasphemous when I asked:  <a title="Was Steve Jobs A Leadership Dinosaur? Article" href="http://dovbaron.com/2012/04/16/leadership_dinosaurs/" target="_blank"><strong>Was Steve Jobs a Leadership Dinosaur?</strong></a></p>
<p>In that article I spoke of the innovations and advancement Jobs had brought to our planet and I said that<strong> I admired his single-minded drive for innovation.</strong></p>
<p>However,<strong> despite the near- mystical aura that surrounded him especially right after his death</strong>, I also said that <strong>as a leader he lacked certain qualities</strong> that are needed in this, the new economy.  <strong>He built a highly successful company but I questioned whether that&#8217;s enough today.</strong></p>
<p>You see, <strong>the path to lasting leadership is not as easy as it was</strong> in the days preceding the recession. <strong>It used to be that we put people in leadership roles because they looked the part</strong> or they<strong> had charisma or could issue orders</strong> that were obeyed.<strong> It turns out that&#8217;s not enough &#8212; Surprise!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>The reins of power have shifted</strong>.  People are sick of having to tug their forelock in hopes of receiving favor from the great and often entitled one called “the boss.” Rather than look up to the untouchable, aloof leader of yesteryear, <strong>people now want to do business with, partner with, and purchase from Transparent</strong> <strong>Authentic Leaders</strong> that they can reach out and <strong>touch and trust.</strong></p>
<p>To be in business these days you better know how to <strong>get down and play at the level of the people you serve</strong>&#8230;.wherever that is. And you can&#8217;t do that without having relationship.</p>
<p>That being said: <strong>relationship is NOT a one way street,</strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #660066;"><strong>You Will Have To Let Your Employees, Co-workers, and Customers In. </strong></span></h3>
<p>As comfortable as the last generation of business leaders have been off in their ivory towers, <strong>the new leaders in business are going to be just as comfortable with really letting their co-workers and customers in.</strong>  New leaders are going to have to <strong>learn to speak <em>to</em> those they are in contact with rather than <em>at</em> them.</strong></p>
<p>Doing this is<strong> changing the landscape of corporate culture</strong></p>
<p>If you want <strong>to succeed in the new economy</strong>, you will never <strong>get the level of loyalty it takes</strong> if you don&#8217;t let the people you work with know you as a person. <strong>People no longer want to be part of, or even do business with a faceless corporation</strong>. In the new economy it is all about <strong>Transparent, Authentic Relationships.</strong></p>
<h3>So how do you do this?</h3>
<div id="attachment_2526" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 357px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Leadership-Tip-Imperfection.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2526" title="Leadership Tip Imperfection" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Leadership-Tip-Imperfection-300x156.jpg" alt="" width="347" height="236" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Transparent Leadership</p></div>
<p><strong>Let</strong> <strong>them know YOU</strong>. Let them see that you are a real person, rather than some corporate entity resembling a human being.  <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Your imperfections can and will assist you in your journey to being a highly effective</strong> and <a title="Yin Yang Leadership" href="http://dovbaron.com/2011/12/12/authentic-leadership/" target="_blank"><strong>Authentic Leader</strong> </a>because <strong>people want to know that they are not the only ones who have struggled.</strong> Forget yesterday&#8217;s leadership agenda of charisma and aura mystique! If that&#8217;s not who you really are, they will see through it far faster than you can imagine.</p>
<p>Remember <strong>people want to follow, and do business with people they trust</strong>, and that can&#8217;t happen without transparency in relationship.</p>
<p>Possibly <strong>one of the greatest side effects</strong> of becoming more open and transparent in your leadership is that <strong>you will inevitably attract more like-minded followers</strong>. Rather than sitting in locked office and having to pay gatekeepers to protect you, you’ve got to be with those you work with. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>As an Authentic Leader, your followers will naturally bring to you only people who are aligned with your business values</strong> (because no one is left guessing about what you want because you are fully present and transparent). This, by its very nature <strong>generates a corporate culture that is building momentum upon the leader’s values.</strong></p>
<p>The implications are far greater than customers, or even &#8220;C level&#8221; executives. Being an <strong>Authentic Leader</strong> who transparently communicates also means you are likely to <strong>attract investors and a board of directors to your company who get where you are going.</strong> They understand the vision and are far less likely to fight against the next level you are working to take your organization to.</p>
<p>I would suggest that, as an <strong>Authentic Leader</strong>, you <strong>make it your imperative to become known.</strong></p>
<p>Further, I suggest that you <strong>do this in all forums</strong>, whether it&#8217;s in person,<strong> shaking hands</strong> through introductions, <strong>giving presentations</strong>, or even in the environment that scares so many still battling with holding on to the old model of leadership&#8211; <strong>social media</strong>.  No matter where you are, <strong>there’s a need for you to authentically show up</strong> so that those whom you wish to follow you understand your vision, your driving values, and your style of leadership.</p>
<p>How are you being transparent with your colleagues, employees, and customers?</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve not been being transparent, what is it about this that you find uncomfortable?</p>
<p>If you are being transparent, what results are you seeing?</p>
<p>Finally, do you really want to succeed in this new economy?  Then know it’s going to mean giving up the old familiar models and putting yourself out there as a transparent <strong>Authentic Leader</strong>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When Apple&#8217;s CEO Steve Jobs died, people left loving notes at every Apple store around [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2482" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 159px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Apple-Stroe-Memorials.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2482" title="Apple Store Memorials" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Apple-Stroe-Memorials-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="149" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Apple Store Memorials</p></div>
<p>When <strong>Apple&#8217;s CEO Steve Jobs</strong> died, people left loving notes at every Apple store around the world. There was tremendous gratitude for the innovations and advancement Jobs had brought to our planet.</p>
<p>However, there was something else going on in direct response to Steve Jobs’ passing&#8211; <strong>&#8220;The Canonizing Effect.”</strong></p>
<p>This is an odd phenomenon that often occurs when someone dies. <strong>We instantly erase all their &#8220;sins&#8221; and turn them into some kind of saint.</strong> Once they are gone, we suddenly seem able to say only &#8220;nice&#8221; things about them and what they did. We don’t feel like we can bring up any of their faults or flaws. (don&#8217;t speak ill of the dead etc)</p>
<p><strong>As a result of this canonizing of Jobs</strong>, one of the things that I experienced was that I began hearing people in the leadership community speak of how <strong>they wanted to be the kind of leader Jobs was.</strong></p>
<p>Really?  People wanted to emulate Jobs’ leadership style?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be clear&#8211;there were many things about his leadership style that were highly admirable. For instance, <strong>his single-minded drive for innovation was remarkable</strong>. However, <strong>there was another side, to Jobs as a leader.  He was oftentimes nothing short of cruel to those under him and very much isolated and unapproachable.</strong> (<a title="Steve Job`s The book on Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jobs-ebook/dp/B004W2UBYW/ref=lp_B000APFLB8_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1334268089&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">You can read all about this in the book <em>Steve Jobs</em></a>)</p>
<p>You might argue, “Yeah, but his style of leading worked. Apple Inc is a vastly successful company and <strong>the #1 recognized brand in the world!</strong>”  Of course, you would be right.  Apple is one of the most successful companies in the world. However, the question that rises here is not one of Steve Jobs’ innovative genius, (which I highly respect), but rather his ability to effectively lead now and in the future.</p>
<p>Therefore, we are left to consider:<strong> </strong></p>
<h2><strong>Was Steve Jobs a Leadership Dinosaur?</strong></h2>
<p>We have to consider what it takes to be a leader, more specifically an <strong>Authentic Leader</strong> in this, the new economy.  As we move forward, we must face the fact that <strong>the old model of leadership</strong>, based on <strong>being unapproachable</strong> and <strong>speaking down to those under our leadership will no longer work.</strong> It does not build loyalty either with our teams or with our customers. <strong>Fake relationships</strong>, which in many ways were the back bone of the old boys club <strong>are the kiss of death for doing business in the new economy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Unless you are completely ignorant of the economic changes</strong> and the impact of how business is operating today, you now know that <strong>business is and will be done via relationship, real, nurtured relationships.</strong>  (This is one of the fundamental reasons, and rightly so,  why <strong>women are becoming the dominant force in business</strong>)</p>
<p>Now hold on a minute!  D<strong>on’t let that little Chihuahua in your head start yapping about how you already know all that</strong>.  We aren’t talking about the old fake smile, pat you on the back, and then badmouth you behind your back kind of relationship.</p>
<p>That is the old model.</p>
<p>The outdated model.</p>
<p>The model that just won’t work anymore.</p>
<p>In the new economy you better be willing to &#8220;show up&#8221; and let people actually see you.<strong> Transparency and Authenticity go hand in hand.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Authenticity will be—and already is—the hallmark of leadership today.</strong><br />
The question comes down to this: Do you have the heart, soul, voice, balls (or ovaries) and willingness to be transparent to make it?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_2455" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 116px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Pay-IT-Forward.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2455" title="Pay It Forward" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/Pay-IT-Forward.jpg" alt="" width="106" height="156" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pay It Forward</p></div>
<p><strong> <strong>Do you remember the first time you saw the movie: <em>Pay It Forward</em>, </strong>staring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osmet as Trevor McKinney the kid with a world changing idea?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The ide</strong><strong>a, as you likely know, was that for every good deed we do, we accept NO pay back. But rather we ask the person who received the good deed for to <em>Pay It Forward.</em> In effect creating a Multi-Level-Marketing effect of good deeds. </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you saw the movie you likely left feeling inspired&#8230;</strong> Until of course life took over: Bills to be paid, children to be feed, got to get to the gym, pick up the dry cleaning and on, and on it goes.  Unfortunately, it can be all to easy to loose the momentum  of caring.</p>
<p>However, just stop in your tracks for a moment and let yourself <strong>imagine the power of us all having a way to keep our commitment to Paying It Forward at the front of our mind</strong>&#8230; My how this world would change!<a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/set.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2454" title="Charley Johnson " src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/04/set.jpeg" alt="" width="104" height="132" /></a></p>
<p>Well let me introduce you to, <a title="Charely Johnsone" href="www.pifexperience.org" target="_blank"><strong>Charley Johnson</strong></a>: An entrepreneur and former Owner/Executive V.P. of a Manufacturing company who has a deep passion for Pay it Forward.  <strong>This guy believes in Pay it Forward so much so he left his company, career &amp; millions behind</strong> to change the world and how people view humanity.</p>
<p title="set">He is now the <strong>President of the Pay it Forward Foundation</strong> and <strong>creator of the Pay it Forward Bracelet</strong>, a physical reminder to do good that has been <strong>sent to over 1 million people in 113 countries</strong>. He Founded the “PIF Experience” (<a href="http://www.pifexperience.org" target="_blank">www.pifexperience.org</a>) the OFFICIAL website for the World Wide Pay it Forward Movement along with Founding the “Pay it Forward Hall of Fame” in 2011 with the First inductee being Catherine Ryan Hyde  author of the Pay it Forward Novel that was turned into a major motion picture in 2000.</p>
<p>If you really want to <strong>find out the impact of Pay It Forward and what you can do</strong> (It&#8217;ll cost you NOTHING) within five minutes of listening to the show <strong>make sure you tune into this vibrant interview.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are lead to believe that the Muslim Woman is a powerless beings and although in most cases this may be true, there are exceptions to that rule&#8230;</p>
<p>Unless you have been living under a rock, you are no doubt aware of the daily media assault on your sense regarding what they call the<strong> &#8220;imminent danger we face at the hands of radical extremist&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p>The question is, are we really in danger or has the media turned the entire Muslim people into a bunch of al Quida linked, Jihad seeking nutters.<br />
Or<strong> have the marginal few, been made into the face of a peaceful majority?</strong></p>
<p>The problem is that through these generalization we cannot objectively see more than what we are told to see.<br />
As a  result  we often cannot see past the Burqae to who these Muslim women are. Rightly or wrongly, we see these women as repressed.<br />
While in reality many contemporary Muslim women see our own feminist freedoms as the ultimate perversion and suppression of women.</p>
<p><strong>Muslim Female Leadership, is it an Illusion or Reality?</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_2442" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 182px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/03/Aafia-Siddiqui.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2442" title="Aafia Siddiqui" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/03/Aafia-Siddiqui.jpg" alt="" width="172" height="103" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Aafia Siddiqui</p></div>
<p>When it comes to women&#8217;s rights and being a Muslim woman, there are two women who stand out in sharing diametrically opposed political views.<a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/03/Ayaan-Hirsi-Ali.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2443" title="Ayaan Hirsi Ali" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/03/Ayaan-Hirsi-Ali.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="198" /></a><br />
One of these women is the Somali-born <a title="Ayaan Hirsi Ali" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali" target="_blank">Ayaan Hirsi Ali</a> and the other is Pakistani born Dr. <a title="Aafia Siddiqui" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aafia_Siddiqui" target="_blank">Aafia Siddiqui</a>.</p>
<p>These women  offer a striking study in the tendentious issue of Islamic women’s rights and that we cannot judge a book by its gender.</p>
<p>My guest on The Accidental Guru Show on Thursday March 29th 2012 will be an award winning Journalist by the name of Deborah Scroggins.</p>
<p><a title="Deborah Scroggins" href="http://deborahscroggins.com/" target="_blank">Deborah Scroggins </a>is the author of a brand new HarperCollins book called: <strong>WANTED WOMEN:</strong> F<em>aith, Lies, and the War on Terror</em>:  This is a book about the lives of these two women: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Dr. Aafia Siddiqui.</p>
<p>If you are kept informed about what&#8217;s going on in the world via the traditional news outlets like FOX news,  there&#8217;s a good chance that you have never even heard of these two contemporary female leaders of the Muslim world, and this show will change all that.</p>
<p>Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Dr Aafia Siddiqui are two diametrically opposed but equally fascinating women and my award winning guest is joining me to give you a peak into these women&#8217;s lives and share with us who they are as women, &amp; who they are as leaders.</p>
<p>Make sure you share this show with your friends and tune in on Thursday March 29th 2012 @ 10:00 AM (Pacific) 1:00 PM (EST) Details here: <a title="Muslim Women's rights" href="http://radiodov.com/leadership/deobrah-scroggins-on-the-accidental-guru-radio-show-mar-29/http://" target="_blank">http://radiodov.com/leadership/deobrah-scroggins-on-the-accidental-guru-radio-show-mar-29/</a></p>

<p><strong><em>We rarely recognize Value until it&#8217;s gone&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Do NOT wait until it&#8217;s too late!</em></strong></p>
<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to be cynical&#8230; and tell yourself that opportunities just don&#8217;t show up for you.</p>
<p>But is that true? Do you just refuse to notice, even when a golden opportunity is standing there waving like a crazy person desperately trying to get your attention?</p>
<p>Come on.  When you really stop and think about it, much of the time <strong>opportunities are presented</strong> to us but  <strong>we brush them off with what we call &#8220;valid reasons&#8221;. These so-called valid reasons are, in fact, self-convincing excuses to stay stuck. </strong></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s really sad is when we realize this only after it’s too late</strong> and<strong> then we deeply regret that we missing out on the very thing we need most.</strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>Research shows that 75% of people name their biggest regrets in life as the things they did NOT do, not the things they did.</strong><br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #6600cc"><em>“ The seized opportunity renders joy. The neglected brings regret.” -Max Lucado</em></span></h2>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>One day y<strong>ou may wake up and wonder how you got to be where you are in contrast to where you wanted to be. </strong>The answer will be simple: <strong>Excuses!</strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><strong></strong>The price of keeping your excuses maybe YOUR OWN LIFE&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Time is running out!</strong> It&#8217;s time to <strong>get off the fence and claim your life&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>You will never be a leader while you cling to excuses!</p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>I recently took the time to handpick</strong> certain people t<strong>o gift a number of VIP (90% discount) tickets to the final Claim Your Competitive Edge event.</strong> I chose them (You may have been one of them)  <strong>because I know that you are dedicated to your own growth</strong> and development and your commitment to being a leader by example.</p>
<p><strong></strong><strong>As someone committed to leading by example</strong>, I feel certain that <strong>you will NOW want to make sure that</strong> your <strong>friends, family and co-workers have this final opportunity to break through what holds them back </strong>in order to let them live their very best life.</p>
<p>I trust that you will be okay with this, because <strong>I am going to be completely transparent.  I want to share with you here something that very few people on this planet know&#8230;<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Often times I have left a Claim Your Competitive Edge event and <strong>gone home and cried</strong>&#8230; (There you have it. My secret is out.)</p>
<p>Why you may ask. It’s because I and the people who have attended our events know the power of the transformation that happens for those who attend, and yet <strong>so many do not have the courage to put their excuses away and reach out and claim the life, the success, the wealth, the relationships and the health they say they desire and that we will make available to them. </strong></p>
<p><strong><strong>Please stop doing that to yourself!</strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I am always saddened by the fact that so <strong>many give up on their dreams because they may be disapproved of by others.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #6600ff"><strong>We trade Authenticity for Approval  and We&#8217;re Surprised When in The Quiet Moments We Realize We Have Been Living a Life That Is Not Our Own.</strong></span></h2>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>With the final Claim Your Competitive Edge being less than two weeks away</strong> and many <strong>people are coming in from around the world to attend, I want to make sure that your VIP guests get registered before we close the doors once and for all.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This is why I urge you to<strong> put those VIP ticks in the hands of those that you care about. </strong></p>
<p>That being said, <strong>PLEASE NOTE:</strong> For your VIP guests to take advantage of<strong> this offer they MUST use the website and Code</strong> On Your Ticket. <strong>This offer is NOT available by calling our offices.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This event is going to <strong>blast everyone</strong> in attendance <strong>through whatever it is that holds them back</strong>. It will be 3 full life changing days.</p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately we rarely recognize Value until it’s gone&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do NOT wait till it&#8217;s too late!</strong></p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you again and meeting all your wonderful friends and family as we say goodbye to <a href="http://baronmastery.com/urgent" target="_blank">Claim Your Competitive Edge </a>Event.</p>
<p><strong>I anticipate sharing this journey with you&#8230;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><a title="American Dream Ecological Crisis Radio Show" href="http://radiodov.com/environment/chris-williams-on-the-accidental-guru-radio-show-feb-9/" target="_blank">Is The American Dream Creating the Ecological Crisis?</a></h1>
<p>The U.S. is experiencing its<strong> second warmest winter in recorded history</strong>… but it&#8217;s not just the U.S. The rest of the world has been experiencing  more extreme weather conditions as well.</p>
<p><strong></strong><strong><strong>Consider for a moment tha</strong>t the forests</strong> that give you, me, and our planet breathable air are<strong> disappearing at an estimated rate of 36 football field per minute</strong>. The Pacific Ocean pollution from what’s known as &#8220;<a title="Garbage Island" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyptaoDsKP8&amp;feature=watch-now-button&amp;wide=1" target="_blank">Garbage Island</a>&#8220;, <strong>a floating island of plastic estimated to be twice the size of Texas,</strong>  is killing ocean life through plastic and chemical reactions.</p>
<p>Look, I know that you and I recycle, and maybe even compose, but are we really making any significant difference?</p>
<p><span style="color: #660099">The question becomes:</span></p>
<h2>Is our pursuit of The American Dream Creating the Ecological Crisis</h2>
<p><strong></strong><strong>Have we failed to notice the connection between capitalism and the ecological crisis?</strong></p>
<p>Let’s face it, we all know that for most folks,<strong> the more we make, the more we spend.</strong> However, when <strong>we spend our next level of wealth on consumer goods,</strong> we are, in fact, adding to the massive problems we are seeing with the ecology of the planet, not least of which is climate change.</p>
<p><strong>So is it time for a radical change?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong> By that I mean <strong>a change that many Americans may even see as anti-American</strong>?</p>
<div id="attachment_2337" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 138px"><a href="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/02/Prof-Chris-Williams.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2337" src="http://dovbaron.com/files/2012/02/Prof-Chris-Williams-210x300.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="184" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chris Williams - Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis</p></div>
<p><a title="Chris Willaims" href="http://ecologyandsocialism.org/" target="_blank"><strong>Professor Chris Wilson</strong></a> in his latest book <em><strong>Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis, </strong></em>offers what many would consider a rather radical solution to dealing with what he and so many others believe is nothing short of an ecological disaster.</p>
<p>In the February 9th 2012 episode of the new and improved <a title="The Accidental Guru Show " href="http://RadioDov.com" target="_blank"><strong>Accidental Guru Radio Show</strong></a>, I  (<a title="Dov's Blog" href="http://DovBaron.com" target="_blank">Dov Baron</a>) will challenge <strong>professor Wilson to show us what it will really take to turn this ecological crisis around.</strong></p>
<p>We will take a look at <strong>whether President Obama</strong> <strong>came through on</strong> any of his presidential <strong>promises regarding climate change.</strong> We&#8217;ll discuss the question &#8220;Is  party policy around everything, but particularly the environment, is set by the elected officials we the people put there or are are policies actually set by big corporations who are somehow the puppeteers of the Senate, Congress and even the White House? We’ll even look at  the impact or impotence of “the occupy movement.”</p>
<p>Make sure you tune in Thursdays @ 10:00 AM (PT) 1:00 PM (EST)</p>
