Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[ncbeareatingman]

Like Life Tune Up is doing for some amazing things for Men here,one of them is they are comiong to enjoy socializing more aka "Socializing is just a fun game",Shannon what if "Making Money,Creating Oppurtunities for More money,manifesting more money & success,were just a fun game" and we could approach it from such perspectives as a fun game,pleasurable,enjoyable over Oh MY gosh,gasp...survival,choking,as if the all air is gonna suddenly leave the room or the planet for that matter! I just had that though! Money is a fun game!! I do know a few people that money is the least of their concerns,its the easiest of things to have,come into their lives,make,attract. These folk play plenty big in life too on many levels!! a fun game...wow,shure would be nice( gross,huge understatement)
what if those kinds of things could be included in UMS and BAMM,alike???? what if?
Robert F. Kennedy " Men see things and say WHY? I Dream of things that never were,and say WHY NOT!!??"

That's actually a really good idea, thank you for that!

I read a quote somewhere a long time ago, can't remember where, but it said something like "The most successful entrepreneurs are those who can take on the perspective of their challenges in a playful way and treat their course of being an entrepreneur somewhat like a game that shall be mastered". I recgonize that somewhat when I have come into a flow, for example writing my master thesis, when I just saw it as a challenge to be conquered I had an easier time thinking more freely and being more creative and being less constricted by thoughts of limitation, etc.

This sounds like an excellent general addition.

Let me chime in...

In my culture (Chinese-Indonesian), if we want to know what business you are in, we said: "Main apa?". Literary means: "What are you playing?".

When we address someone who has been in a particular business/field for a long time, we said: "Pemain lama". Literary means: "Old player/long-time player".

When we address someone who is new in a particular business/field, we said: "Pemain baru". Literary means: "New player".

Above are just few example of many phrases and metaphors we use representing business/entrepreneurship as game. So, "money is a fun game" is not much of a stretch.

I Love it ,I Love it ,I Love it Man!! that is awesome!! In MY Mother's Language( American Indian) There are no words for goodbye & in my Father's Traditional Celtic Gaelic it roughly translates into something like : we pass this way,again,for we will always travel the circle (come round)
essentially its the same thing,there is no good bye in the great sacred hoop of all life! I Love the idea of Business owners as players,old and new. awesome!! Money and Success are but a fun game! damn that rocks!!
