Quote of the Day – May 5, 2010

Avoid claiming personal credit for your gifts. Simply bless them and be thankful for being a powerful tool in which God works through. Be a humble servant and know that you never act alone. This is the wisdom that will serve you when you are on top and when you are on the bottom.

Scott Weller – Talent Manager

When I was a kid, I loved performing. I loved to be on stage in front of all my family and friends. As life carried into my adolescence, I fell victim to the “too cool for school” syndrome where I felt the desire to conform to fit in and acting just wasn’t what the cool kids did! Enter jock phase here!

As I reached my 20’s I really missed acting, writing and the “artsy” side of me that was once so prevalent. It’s funny though, now I definitely do not crave the spotlight… I do, however, crave to help those who are in the spotlight!

In July of last year (2009) I was in Las Vegas for a business convention and managed to have the most profound experience of my life at that point. I met so many talented writers, speakers, artists and more. As I interacted with all of these incredible people, I realized that I wanted to see them all succeed even more than what I wanted for myself!

VOILA! That’s it!!!

I’ll become a talent manager!!

It has taken some time but here we are. With an experienced partner in place, who is based in southern California, I am elated to announce that we are now accepting new musicians, writers, actors and other artists  to our talented family. I plan on keeping you all updated on all the new talents right here so you can follow along with our accomplishments.

Are you or someone you know an actor, writer, musician or artist looking for the avenues to share your message with the world? For more information, check out “Work With Scott

Scott Weller Presents: Lust vs. Love

Scott Weller Presents: Lust vs. Love

This morning I was riding the upright bike at the gym, reading Wayne Dyer’s “The Power of Intention“, when I had a very intense moment of “AH HA!”

In the very first chapter, on page 12, he writes about his “Four steps to Intention” and more specifically step #3 he talks about Love. He writes:

In the world of sales, I call it falling in love with what you are offering, and then selling your love or enthusiasm to potential customers.

This line stimulated my “AH HA” moment. I thought back to every job and business opportunity that I had undertook and eventually walked away from. I started to realize, I had never “loved” any of them. I had only gotten involved or taken that job because, in that moment, I lusted after that position or opportunity.

I’m sure we have all heard the comparisons of lust vs. love at some point in our lives. For me, I see lust as something very intense but short-lived because the feelings are very “skin-deep.” Love, on the other hand, is very complete and deep rooted and carries through the good times and the bad.

Looking at my life, I realize now, that a lot of different relationships and opportunities have been very much in accordance with “lust.” Thankfully I know this and now I am consciously choosing to align with those opportunities and relationships which I “love.”

What do you think? Do you think there’s something to this Lust vs. Love thing I speak of? Looking back at your past, can you see similar patterns?

Scott Weller presents: Construction Site Hazards – Falls

Scott Weller presents: Construction Site Hazards – Falls

Falls are the leading killer in the construction industry. From 1980 – 1995, there were 8102 deaths caused by falls from elevations. That’s an average of 540 deaths per year. It is stats like these that have forced governments to become more strict in regards to fall protection requirements.

As of January 1, 1998, an employer must ensure walking or working surfaces are strong enough to support the weight being placed on them. As well, the employer is responsible for:

  • Walking or working areas with an unprotected edge or side where a worker may be exposed to a fall of over 6 feet; must have a guardrail system in place or a fall arrest system.
  • Employees must also be protected from falling or tripping, into or through holes or skylights by the systems mentioned above or by secure covers.
  • Hole or skylight covers must protect workers from falling objects as well.

DON’T BECOME A ‘FALL’ STATISTIC! LEARN ALL YOU CAN ABOUT PREVENTION AND ALWAYS USE FALL PROTECTION GEAR.

BLUE COLLAR BEGONE BACKTALK

It is possible to go through life without falling. Create your own virtual fall arrest system. Surround yourself with a support harness of people who will remain positive and supportive. Use the proper lanyard which will allow you to venture out and get work done but will prevent you from treading into dangerous areas and make sure to always regularly inspect your equipment. The worker or person is only as good as the tools the have at their disposal. When it’s required, trade in that old tattered harness which is no longer helping you for one that will help you reach the top safely!

To Your Success

Scott Weller presents: The Parable of the Rocks, Sand and Water

Let me share a parable with you.  A wise old teacher sought to teach his student a solemn lesson.  So he pulled out an old jar, then carefully gathered together some rocks, sand, and water.  As the student looked on in puzzlement, the teacher proceeded to fill the jar to the brim with rocks.
Is the jar full?” asked the Sensei.   “Indeed, it is completely full”  said the eager student without hesitation.

The teacher then went on to pour all the sand into the spaces between the big rocks.  The sand flowed into the cracks, settling comfortably.  Now the jar was really full.

“Is the jar full?” asked the Sensei.  ” I… um.. no?” said the doubtful student.

Smiling, the Sensei took the water and poured it with ease into the jar.

Standing back, the Sensei asked his student:   “What have you learned?”

“That there is always room for more!” exclaimed the student.

Shaking his head in disappointment, the sensei emptied the jar, and asked the student to fill the jar again, but this time, in reverse order.  So the student filled the jar with water.  As he did so he found that there was no room for the sand.  And found that there was no room for the rocks.

The Lesson of the Big Rocks Parable?
You do not have an infinite capacity to fill your life with STUFF.
Prioritization matters.

If you put the BIG ROCKS into your life first… there will be room for the SAND.  If you put the SAND into your life next… there will be room for the WATER.
But if you put the WATER in first, you will be overcome by a Tidal Wave!

Water is limitless, and always eager to flow into any available space.  If you let the demon called Tidal Wave take control, he will leave room for nothing else.

To apply the 5 Big Rock Rule to your Blue Collar Begone life….

To Your Success
