Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. This being entry #2 I have decided to continue to share with you the structure of this classroom. Ergo the Rules. The ‘what we can expect from each other. In fact, the definition of Standards is …an agreement of how we are going to be with each other. Since this is my dojo, I have written these rules. I call them…The Rules of Me.

1- I do not preach dogma. Use what you like; do not use what you do not like. Simple. What I won’t do is argue, discuss or debate whether the technology is good or bad.

2- In the real world, you are a person of action or a guy / girl with a story. We at the dojo do not believe in the “a – ha” experience. We stress that change, growth and evolution come from Commitment, Discipline, Sacrifice and Lifestyle Change. So the rule is: No Stories. In the Entrepreneurial world the currency we have is time and commitment. If you want to tell your story, start a blog.


3- I encourage you to try to connect with me…But……. with a caveat. I am from the streets of New York and I do not “suffer fools gladly”, meaning, only connect with me, if you are real and committed. I only work with thoroughbreds.

4- Do not base your decisions on the verbage, bumper stickers or anecdotes you receive here. I often tell my clients that I do not give advice. I offer up opinion, counsel, perspective and strategies…but ultimately, you make your own professional decisions. I do not want t hear “well you told me to”. I do not tell anyone what to do. I also, over the many yeas received letters and cards even paintings from clients stating that I changed there lives. I do not change people’s lives! They change there own lives, I am only a catalyst. How does this evolution to mastery happen? Practice. If you go to a gym or boxing club or any martial arts studio and you work out three times a week you get stronger. Same here!



Zen Teacher: by definition, a Zen teacher challenges and disrupts what you have been taught before.

I am a pebble in your shoe, a splinter in your finger, a thorn in your side…training you and reminding you that there is a higher level to go to. I hope I piss you off and make you laugh and most importantly look at things differently. This is top of the line, and state of the art.
