Wow.  I don’t know what happened this week, but we had 64 submissions to the personal growth carnival.  That’s a new record I might add.

It seems some authors submitted a bunch of stories, so I only included what I thought was their best one.  This dropped the number of submissions a little, but there is still a LOT of articles this week.  Thank you to everyone who submitted.  Enjoy the carnival.

Wayne C. Allen presents Exercises in Mind Emptying posted at The Phoenixcentre Blog, saying, “There is a ‘real’ world of which we are a part. It has no intrinsic meaning, and is therefore ‘empty’ of meaning. We interact with everything through our senses. We’ve mentioned this before. Sensory data also has no meaning. We interpret the sensory data. Thus, the world you perceive is not the world - the world you perceive is your interpreted version of the world. Our interaction with ‘the world, then, is always subjective, as we take the raw data and judge (interpret) it.”

Jack Yoest presents Close the Sale: Make the Pain Worse posted at Yoest.com, saying, “30% of people admitted to a hospital’s emergency room feel no pain. There might be a sucking chest wound or a missing limb, but nothing hurts. An anesthesiologist will still administer an anesthetic not only for the pain, which might come eventually, but to also still the patient. To keep the patient quiet, sedated, compliant. So even though the patient was not in pain, he still got a pain relieving solution. (The Alert Reader will remember that Your Business Blogger once worked for Mallinckrodt — but only on the medical device side, not the drugs.) Sales is sometimes the same way. A solution to the customer’s problem should be provided even if the patient customer feels no pain. So how does the professional sales representative sell when there is no pain? Your Business Blogger suggests that the sales rep doesn’t.”

Green presents Deer in the Headlights Decison-Making > Trusted Advisor Associates > Trust Matters posted at Trust Matters, saying, “When taken by surprise we often dig in our heels and decide to keep doing the same thing.
