You know this organization is doing some phenomenal work. My name is Allan Marston and yes I am a little biased as I brought this organization to Calgary. I really liked the fact that they take people from poverty to sustainability program of Food, Water, Education and Micro-Credit Loans.
The local Calgary Team is not only currently impacting over 12,000 people every month they are also creating tremendous impact as you can see from these two press releases – one from Thanksgiving 2008 and one from Christmas 2008.

Pearls Of Wisdom
While some people need to know every detail about how exactly the electricity gets from the switch to the light bulb before they can create light, I simply walk up to the switch and turn it on and presto – there is light!

The Game – Second Half
In my last post I wrote about 3 types of people In The Game and before I get into more detail on these people here is why it is important. If you focus on communicating with the right people you will have better results and not get frustrated.
Those Who Get In The Game are people that don’t mess around. They play hard and think big! They play to win but are not afraid to lose. They would rather be IN the game, getting knocked down and bruised, than be in the stands watching. These people are tough to find because they are in high demand and are already playing somebody else’s game. So stay in touch with them, build a relationship and someday they just may play your game.
Those Who Watch are also referred to as the audience or the fans and they are a boisterous lot. They love to tell people who are playing the game how they could play better even though they do not want to get in the game. These arm-chair coaches and quarterbacks can be extremely critical and love to give advice that they rarely live by. They are very fearful of playing the game. The good thing about this group is that some of them, sometimes, get into the game, when they overcome their fear.
Those Who Don’t Come To The Game are content doing whatever they do. They don’t care about the game and sometime will watch from afar. Don’t waste your time with these people not because they are not winners but just because they really don’t care. The good thing about this group is that sometimes they become Those Who Watch. That usually happens when they hear that the game is getting real good and they jump on the band wagon. A couple of years ago when our team was in the finals of hockey a whole bunch of these people jumped on the bandwagon. The problem is they are also the first ones to jump off.
That is why I suggested that you focus your energy on the first two. Your life will be less frustrating and you will be more prosperous. Because YOU are probably In The Game!
