Drinking with Howard
Published: Wed, 08/21/13
I went to the pub with my old friend Howard last night. Howard is
someone who comes up with ideas, sometimes quite strange ones, but
he is always enthusiastic about life and ready for a new adventure.
Anyway his latest idea is holding Viking Yoga Parties, this will
be based on the stances and Howard is a very experienced Yoga
teacher. So it might work as a way of introducing people to a form
of Stav, if they express an interest then he can point them in my
direction and we can see what happens. Howard is having some cards
printed he had some preview copies with him, during the time we
were in the pub, which certainly wasn't crowded, he got rid of
four to punters and bar staff, we also had quite a long
conversation afterward closing time with the barman about martial
arts, the meaning of life and few other things besides. That is
what tends to happen when you go out for a drink with Howard. So,
are Viking Yoga parties a good idea? I have no way of telling, I
trust Howard to give it a try and well, lets see.
Sometimes it is best not to take too much of a risk, I am very
careful about who I authorise to teach Stav as a martial art simply
because Stav is extremely effective and it can be very dangerous if
taught inappropriately. It may be okay but ultimately I have to
take responsibility for anyone teaching with my approval and we do
have a very good safety record and I want to keep it that way.
Sometimes it is worth testing something just to see if
someone's opinion is correct or not. I belong to Jon
McCulloch's business supremacy group in order to learn about
marketing, Jon is of the opinion that social media marketing,
although very fashionable, is largely a waste of time. Last week I
had a go at marketing my Kindle novel mainly using Facebook, result
560 free promotional downloads in five days, actual sales since, 1.
I am not complaining since it didn't cost me anything to put
it up there anyway or to distribute it, I just wanted to have my
first go at Kindle publishing and everyone has to start somewhere.
But don't you just hate it when someone is that right in
advance? Have a look at Jon's site http://www.jonmcculloch.com/
Howard is coming to the Stav Camp in two weeks time, so I had
filled all 12 places, except someone else has had to drop out for
personal reasons. So there is still a place if anyone else would
like to come. Will you have a great time? Will you learn stuff
you really can't learn anywhere else? Will it be an
opportunity to change your life by learning Stav or if you already
have some experience, a chance to go much further? I don't
know for sure but it you don't come you certainly won't
know will you? http://www.stavcamp.org/
