Housekeeping. Two announcements! Both of which are pretty useful.
Sunday night is the deadline …
I seriously can’t stand those emails that are all in your face every five minutes with “Two more days! and “Hurry the heck up!” and “Buy now!”
But then some people only mention the cut-off date once and you totally forget, and then you resent them for basically being nice and not shouting at you.
Like this week when I wanted to do Jen Hofmann’s amazing Inspired Home Office Spa Day but forgot it was happening and didn’t sign up. And I was all, oof … why didn’t you tell me? Only way more whiny than that.
And it turns out it was in her noozletter somewhere and I just missed it.
The same thing happens to me whenever I end a pre-sale and move something up to its real price. I seriously try as hard as possible to just gently put it out there for those of you who want it and not inundate people with reminders.
And then I’m the one who gets flooded with email from people who are mad at me because they didn’t know, and now it’s too expensive and they could have gotten it, but I didn’t remind them.
So here’s your reminder.
Sunday night is when the price goes up on the Procrastination Dissolve-o-matic. Now you know. Please please please don’t say that I didn’t tell you. 🙂
Also, the coolest bonus ever.
Dave Navarro — not that Dave Navarro — from Rock Your Day, made a surprising, generous offer that just blew me away with niceness.
He’s about to release a program called Never Procrastinate Again, so technically we’re like, in competition or something. Only we’re not, because we like each other. And because our work could not be more different.
The stuff he does is nothing like the stuff I do. It’s louder than what I do and it goes at the whole thing from a totally different angle with a completely different resonance. But unlike the so-called experts I was raging at the other day, Dave is not mean. And he’s not a phony. And he’s not an ass.
He’s a good guy — a really good guy — who just does things differently from the way I do. Though he did imply that I’m green and wrinkled, so I might have to take that back.
Anyway, luckily for you, you don’t have to decide whose method or philosophy you like better, because Dave is a mensch, so you now have a chance to play with both.
Dave’s super generous thing.
Like this:
If you’re quick enough to grab my Procrastination Dissolve-o-matic before this Sunday night when the long launch ends, and you forward your receipt to dave (AT) rockyourday.com, he’s giving you his Never Procrastinate Again program.
As a present. You’ll get it by the 15th.
You just want his stuff and you’re not even going to look at mine? Fine. You just want my stuff and you don’t think his is going to be useful for you? Also fine. You get both when you buy mine, and then you can use them or not as you feel like it.
But of course you already know that getting two different takes on how to get motivated could be a super-charged way to really get going on the stuff you’re working on. I think it’s sweet. Go read his post.
The most amazing things.
Since the Procrastination Dissolve-o-Matic came into being, I’ve been consistently astounded by the great stuff people do with it, the way they just start to run with it and make huge, crazy changes in their lives.
It’s not just that they start getting things done.
It’s that they start moving and shifting all sorts of deep, internal stucknesses and realizing what needs to happen for them to really live their purpose. Cool stuff like that!
And at least eight or nine times a week I get email and letters all about the surprising and beautiful changes people have made with the Dissolve-o-matic.
I don’t want to out people’s breakthroughs or anything, since they’re often pretty personal, but just so you can be as excited as I am, here are two snippets from a pile of things that showed up in my inbox this week:
This is from Rebecca Leigh, who is a freelance copywriter in Australia.
The more I am ‘in’ this process, the more I see how far-reaching it is. It really is about much more than procrastination, it’s about your whole life mindset.
I have had a lot of personal change and growth in the last 8 months – and have been reading a great deal about mindfulness and self-limiting beliefs – but your book has really brought a lot of things together in my mind. It’s making a big difference already – especially as I am in the midst of leaving a corporate job to embark on my full-time freelance career.
And from James Bartley in the UK who writes the super-great Dancing Geek blog.
BTW the procrastination stuff, the dissolve-o-matic? GENIUS!
I’ve got about 1/3 of the way through and then had to stop and let my brain absorb and process. But total genius.
You have a totally amazing view of the world, that is massively accessible, and I am proud to consider myself one of your soon-to-be-1000 true fans that will happily buy anything you produce!
I’m done talking about this.
Yes, I kind of want to jump for joy and celebrate people’s successes for another few pages, but the important thing is that the announcement gets announced.
Sunday night is when the price goes up from the presale price of $67 to the regular price of $108. If it’s not for you right now, no big deal. And if it’s speaking to your heart, it’s right there waiting for you.
And here’s where you get the Procrastination Dissolve-o-matic, if you’re so inclined.
The other announcement!
I’ll make this short.
Every once in a while I lead a fun class on habits-changing work-on-your-stuff stuff. And turns out we’re doing one this Tuesday.
You’re invited. It doesn’t cost anything. You hang out with me and a bunch of people from around the world on the phone for one hour and we work through some stuff, and record it.
I’m thinking that the theme this time around is going to be how to get into a regular-ish exercise-ey routine when you don’t have time and don’t feel like it.
Because that’s been coming up for a number of my clients lately. Seems like that would be a useful thing for us to shift a little.
Anyway, this Tuesday, October 7th, at 5:30 pm PST.
5:30 in Portland means 7:30 pm in Chicago which means 8:30 pm in New York, and if you’re not in North America, you can figure out what that means with the time zone converter.
I’m not going to be sending out a ton of announcements. If you want in, mark your calendar right now and show up on Tuesday. Yay, Tuesday!
And here’s where you get all your information about the call. You know, the call-in number and passcode-ey thing.
You don’t have to RSVP, and a bunch of people probably won’t, but it would totally be useful for me if you would so I have a general idea of how many people are coming.
Got it?
This Tuesday. October 7, 2008.
5:30 – 6:30 pm PST (or whatever that is for you)
Details here.
Calendar this thing because I am done making announcements!
That’s it.
Mad love to everyone.
I hope to hang out with a bunch of you Tuesday on the freebie call!
And who knows, maybe you’ll have had some time to play with your inexpensive copy of the Procrastination Dissolve-o-Matic, and you’ll be all happy and tingly and in the mood to zap some stucknesses. See you there!
EDIT: It’s Sunday now. And I ought to have said that when the sale thing ends tonight, so does Dave’s offer. So if you haven’t sent him your receipt by then, it’s too late. Not saying this to stress you out, heaven forbid Saying this so that poor Dave doesn’t keep getting inundated with email for the next god knows how many months. Thanks!
