Another damn book on ___________ !","description":" Greetings, ladies and gentlemen... friends... and yes, even the occasional foe or two. Let me begin with a confession\u2014and a bit of an edge. Years ago, I floated an idea to my daughter. I said, \u201cI think I might write another book... maybe a follow-up to my marketing book.\u201d She paused. That\u2019s always dangerous when an editor pauses. Then she said something I\u2019ve never forgotten: \u201cDad... yes, you could write another book. It might even be better than most. But let me tell you something... Yes Dad .... Just what the world needs?... another damn book on marketing?! Don\u2019t do that. Write the book that only you can write.\u201d Ouch. And thank God for that moment. The Problem We Don\u2019t Talk About Let\u2019s be honest. We live in a world flooded with \u201canother _________ _________.\u201d Another business. Another podcast. Another coaching program. Another course. Another \u201cme too\u201d idea dressed up in slightly better graphics. And here\u2019s the danger... Most people\u2014good people, talented people, even faithful people\u2014end up building something that looks like everyone else\u2019s version of success. They don\u2019t build their thing. They build a copy. And I\u2019ve seen it over and over again in my coaching work. People come to me excited, motivated... and when we peel it back, what are they really trying to do? Create another _________ _________. The AD Principle I call it this: Another D__________ AD \u2014 Avoid Duplication. Or, in plain language: Let\u2019s not do another _________ _________. Instead... What would it look like for you to build the business that only you can build? Write the message that only you can deliver? Create the impact that only you can make? Jesus: The Ultimate Entrepreneur Now here\u2019s where it gets interesting\u2014and maybe a little provocative. I often say: Jesus was one of the world\u2019s first entrepreneurs. Think about it. Before the ministry... before the miracles... before the movement... There were years\u2014many years\u2014of building, learning, working, creating, growing. He wasn\u2019t just preaching. He was preparing. And then, in a relatively short window of time, He launched something so original, so powerful, so transformational... ...it changed the world. Not another _________ _________. Something entirely new. The Real Question So here\u2019s the question I want to put in front of you: Are you building something... or are you copying something? Because there\u2019s a big difference. You can make money copying. You can survive copying. You might even succeed\u2014for a while\u2014copying. But you will never feel fully alive copying. Where Your Life Gets Interesting There\u2019s a phrase I love: \u201cWhere your deep gladness meets the world\u2019s deep need.\u201d That\u2019s the zone. That\u2019s where the magic happens. That\u2019s where your calling meets your craft. That\u2019s where your faith meets your work. And that\u2019s where you stop producing another _________ _________... ...and start doing the work that only you can do. A Word to the Young... and the Encore Crowd I started this program thinking especially about young men... Men who want to be strong. Men who want to build something real. Men who want to lead, love, and leave a legacy. But let me tell you something... This is just as true\u2014maybe even more true\u2014for those in the encore years. I had a man in his 70s ask me: \u201cStan... do you think it\u2019s too late for me to start something new?\u201d I said: \u201cToo late? No. It might be exactly the right time.\u201d Because now you have something you didn\u2019t have before: Perspective. Experience. Wisdom. And maybe... just maybe... the courage to stop doing another _________ _________. The Risk of the Unlived Life Let me give you one more thought. Why would there be tears in heaven to wipe away? I\u2019ve heard it said... Maybe\u2014just maybe\u2014it\u2019s because we\u2019ll finally see all the things we could have done... ...but didn\u2019t. The risks we didn\u2019t take. The ideas we didn\u2019t pursue. The difference we didn\u2019t make. I don\u2019t want that. And I don\u2019t think you do either. So... What Should You Do? Simple. Not easy... but simple. Stop asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s already working?\u201d Start asking: - What am I uniquely wired to do? - What has God placed in me? - What problem breaks my heart enough to act? - What would I regret not trying? And then... Do that. A Short Word to Remember, Share, and Act On Remember: - The world doesn\u2019t need another _________ _________. - You were not created to copy\u2014you were created to contribute. - Jesus didn\u2019t duplicate\u2014He transformed. Share: - This idea with someone who\u2019s stuck in \u201cme too\u201d mode. - The encouragement that it\u2019s not too late\u2014ever. - The possibility that their \u201conly\u201d work still matters. Take Note (and Take Action): - Identify one idea that is uniquely yours. - Take one step this week toward building it. - Refuse to settle for another _________ _________. Let\u2019s Do Something That Matters If this resonates with you\u2014even a little\u2014let\u2019s talk. Because this is what I do. I help people\u2014entrepreneurs, leaders, dreamers, encore explorers\u2014 build something that actually matters. Not just another _________ _________... ...but something that reflects who they are, what they believe, and why they\u2019re here.

And maybe... something that only we can do\u2014together. Until next time... Best and blessings.
