COURTESY OPENS ALL DOORS

2008-11-19T10:54:00.000-08:00

COURTESY OPENS ALL DOORS

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer where ever you are.

The deepest principal in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

If you treat someone as if they were what they ought to be and could be, they will become what they ought to be and could be.

Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed. There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in you.

Applaud others when they run.
Console them when they fail.
And cheer them when they recover.

As water is to a flower, so is praise to the heart of another.

Tango Plus Party Review

2008-10-04T17:20:00.000-07:00

Singles Tango Plus Party at Golden Gate Yacht Club

Our Tango Plus Party for singles in San Francisco, over all, was very successful. We had a good crowd of people at the party. I was amazed to see a large crowd of singles hugging each other and then dancing tango in a rather close embrace after just a few minutes. Of course, the steps were very simple, but it was a lot of fun.

We changed partners often and someone commented, "The best part was the tango lesson where we changed partners; what a great way to get to know a lot of people quickly."

At about 9:20pm we switched to free style dancing and a mix of rock, swing, salsa and other music, to which most of the crowd just danced free style. It seems that an hour of tango is all that beginners can take of that dance. It is interesting, though, that experienced tango dancers love to dance tango all night.

Tango Plus for Singles in San Francisco

2008-08-28T14:40:00.000-07:00

What: Something new: Argentine tango for singles along with a hot Las Vega DJ (later in the evening) playing Old School Rock, salsa, swing, hustle etc.
Who: You and hundreds of other singles, Live Tango Band: Marceo and Bocha

Cost: $25 at the door.
Email discount available and raffle for a free party available

Below is a really nice video describing Argentine Tango. Just know that as a beginner you don't have to dance cheek-to-cheek in full embrace. You can dance in open position. You will always have that close embrace to look forward to once you get used to Argentine tango. Just click on the photo to see the video. Note that Bocha (shown in the video) will be performing on 9/19/08 at the Golden Gate Yacht Club.

Singles Party Music Play Lists

2008-07-28T18:28:00.000-07:00

Here's a play list you can enjoy on your computer. This is a good way to find out the kind of music we play at our Professionals Guild singles parties in Sacramento and the Bay Area (San Francisco, Berkeley, Concord, San Ramon, Walnut Creek)

NOTE: we are having free beer and wine at our Sacramento party, next. See Pguild.com for details. Our Golden Gate Fields singles party will feature an optional dinner, huge dance floor, fantastic views of the Bay and a fun mixer game with prizes.

Bay Area Singles Party in Berkeley a Huge Success

2008-07-23T10:26:00.000-07:00

Our recent East Bay singles party at Golden Gate Fields (the race track) was a huge success. People were raving about the venue and special dinner we had. The turn out was huge, about 300 singles mingled and danced until the midnight. The huge dance floor easily accommodated everyone and there was even room to do some fancy dance moves.

We had a fun music video up on multiple wide screen TVs during the mixer hour. Everyone seemed to enjoy the mixer game and we gave out some nice prizes around 10pm.

The party featured:

100's of singles
Free Parking
Great views of the bay
Award winning wines served at optional dinner.
Prizes and gift packs

We will be doing it again on Friday, August 15th and will probably have another wine dinner before the party.

MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR LIFE

2008-07-23T10:24:00.001-07:00

I enjoy getting a daily pep talk, and thought you
might appreciate reading it from time to time....

MAKE CHANGE A POSITIVE PART OF YOUR LIFE

You must avoid breaking when things don't go your way.
You'll always be secure to the degree that you accept change.
True security comes from being able to bend your insecurities.

Recognize and accept that change will inevitably take place.
You'll become secure, not by standing still, but by growing,
moving, and staying energized.
Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with anything
that happens to you.

Have the courage to bet on your ideas.
Take some calculated risks and act on your dreams.
There is no permanent security on this earth, there is only opportunity.

A Fun Way to Capture your Expenses

2008-06-01T17:41:00.000-07:00

Capturing all business expenses has always been a challenge for me -- that is, in the past. But since I am self-employed and organize dance parties and mixers, it is extremely important for me to stay organized and record all expenses.

Now I find it fun and easy. What's my secret? Two great free websites:

Jott.com
and...
Xpenser.com

I suggest you first join Jott.com and get familiar with how you can send short email messages with your cell phone with voice to text technology. You can send email to yourself or others in seconds without typing anything. You talk, it types. The transcription is not always perfect, but its good: good enough to be very useful. Jott converts your voice into emails, text messages, reminders, lists and appointments.

Once you have Jott set up, register with Xpenser and add Xpenser as a link within Jott. Then you can call Jott. (It's best to set up a speed dial button for this) Jott will say:

Who do you want to jott?
You can reply "Xpenser"
Jott will confirm, "Xpenser, is that correct?"
You reply "Yes."
Jott will say: "Go ahead record your Jott"

You can say something like "24.95 for lunch meeting with Nike to discuss Party at Golds Gym."

Xpenser will automatically date your entry. Once a week or so, you can log in to Xpenser and edit the log and create reports. You can export them to a spreadsheet if you want. Just do this! It could save you a lot time and money.

Setting a Postive Tone for the Day

2008-02-13T09:34:00.001-08:00

When we get up and face the day it is useful to have a ritual that helps to set a positive tone for the day. One helpful ritual I used for a while was to think of 5 things that I was grateful for. That worked great for a while, but like most things, I got out of the habit.
Email subscription offers a good way to keep on track with daily rituals. Each day I get an inspiring message from yourdailymotivation.com
Here's the message I got today:

YOU CAN RISE ABOVE REALITY

Courage is the power to face your difficulties.
It comes from the reserves of your mind that are more powerful
then any of your outside circumstances.

When you recognize that you are bigger than your problems,
you gain the courage necessary to overcome anything.

Your obstacles will look large or small to you according to
whether you are large or small.
Courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined.
It gives you the ability to rise above reality.

You are more important than any of your problems

The Power to Live Your Dreams

2008-02-07T18:43:00.000-08:00

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS.

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself,
the day you stop making any excuses,
that's the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to you to choose the thoughts and actions
that will lead you to success.

Your life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize
that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone.

Web Based Phone Services

2008-01-18T17:29:00.000-08:00

Web Based Phone Services

New web based phone services are already changing the way we
communicate with phones. And they keep evolving. Some new innovate companies include:

Ccube
Ribbit
Google

Ccube

Ccube is a social networking site that enables contact, instantly by private phone calls.
It can be used for social networking, in entertainment, or to facilitate customer contact.
Friends and relatives can also use it for free calling within the United states. The basic
service is free.

Social Networking -- Travis Watson, a country singer, has a "Call me On Ccube button"
He boldly invites other MySpace user to call him for "bookings, intelligent conversation,
pranks or drunk calls." He can do that because his real phone number is hidden
and he can easily specify the times when his Ccube call forwarding is active. He can
also easily turn it off entirely if he wants, while keeping his real phone number private.

Entertainment. Drae, whose id on Ccube is "MrSexy31" works in the entertainment business
as a TV host and apparently has a record label. He uses Ccube to invite potential
business associates to call him.

Enabling Phone Contact on Websites. Vator.tv a website for innovators to showcase
their ideas, collaborate and exchange knowledge to get their ideas to the next level.
At www.Vator.tv they have a "Call Me on Ccube" button to invite patrons to make
contract with them by phone.

On mine own website -- http://www.pguild.com , I have a "Call Me on Ccube"
button to invite people interested in knowing about our Northern California
singles parties and mixers to call me.

Learn more about Ccube, click here.

Ribbit

Ribbit Graphic see http://www.ribit.com

Ribbit calls itself “Silicon Valley’s first phone company. Ribbit plans to be the platform company for Voice 2.0 applications. Using Flash applications built with the Ribbit platform you will be able to make calls directly your browser. The applications will connect with other applications and data on the web to enable all kinds of exotic features. This will be possible because thousands of developers will work together in an open source environment to help each other. They will be able to plug into the system and create web applications even though they know nothing about the low level details of telephony. To learn more about Ribbit, click here to visit their website.

Google

Google is launching a New Mobile Phone Platform, not a phone of their own like a G-phone or a Google Phone, but a platform that geeks and clever programmers can use to create add-ons. It's a new Google Open Source Platform called Android. Because the open source approach usually results in many interesting and often powerful applications, we can look forward to some new unusual features in phones that work with Android!

Thirty-four companies are jumping into the ring with both feet -- companies like Motorola, T-Mobile and Intel. Even Ebay. Could Google be thinking about cell phone shopping? Ribbit claims that their technology can encompass Android; that is those using Ribbit can make calls to apps created with the Android Platform. Time will tell.

Floorshakers. But I digress. What are the Floorshakers like? Check out this review of one of their recent performances by Linda Jai:

The second half of the show started out with a bang! Smoke filled the stage and the theater filled with excitement as the audience anticipated the arrival of “The Floorshakers.” Louie Esposito led the group in a highly energized rendition of KC and The Sunshine Band’s, “Get Down Tonight.”

Esposito danced across the stage exuding insurmountable energy and stamina while getting the audience revved up for a performance they may never forget.

Dressed liken to “The Men In Black,” wearing sunglasses, a colorful bandana and gold beads strung around his neck, Esposito and the remaining Floorshakers; lead Guitarist, Douglas Mascardo; Trombonist-Keyboardist, Dave Arms; Saxophonist, Gino Archimede; Trumpet man, Rudy Vera; Bassist, Dave Lopez ( who also performed two solo bits); and Drummer Mike Di Francesco, opened the show for lead singer, Gerald Glasper.

Glasper made his presence known with the group’s version of “Back in Love Again, by the singing group, LTD.

How to Approach a Woman

2007-12-23T12:56:00.000-08:00

It's amazing how clueless we men are at times when it comes to approaching a woman. Although I'm sometimes regarded as an expert in this area because of my many years in the Singles social networking field, I too have a lot to learn. Yet I've also learned a lot, too. So I thought it might make sense to share some ideas with you.

1. Become familiar with environment and what's appropriate. For example, at a bar or singles party, it's often not appropriate to walk up to a woman and ask her to dance, at least, not immediately. You need to establish a connection first. You need to talk to her for a while and let her get to know you. Be especially caution about asking a woman to dance in such a situation if the music is slow and romantic. Exception: if the music is fast and the lady is standing near the dance floor and moving to music, that's a clear signal she wants to dance and will more than likely say "yes."

At a ballroom, on the other hand, the group norm is entirely different. It is quite normal and acceptable to walk over to a woman and ask her to dance without engaging her in conversation first. At a ballroom, nearly always the answer is "yes" or "I'm sorry I don't know how to do rumba well -- is that OK?" It doesn't matter much if the music is fast or slow an romantic tune. The focus at a ballroom is on moving together as one to beautiful music, not on hooking up. Although a ballroom it is a great place to find a girlfriend, the action doesn't usually happen quickly. Because you both love dancing and repeatedly see each other at the ballroom, you already share something in common and one things can easily lead to another -- in time.

2. Toasting and clinking glasses. At a place where drinks are served, toasting and clinking glasses with no immediate follow-up conversation can be effective. Try walking about when you first get your drink and offer a toast to everyone with a big smile. "Happy Friday!" for example. Just keep walking and toasting. Don't expect response immediately. But usually, you'll see a nice smile. As you do this, focus on bringing joy to others rather than on trying to score.

Later when you return you will be remembered as that friendly, confident guy. Be careful, though, of trying this if it doesn't feel right to you. If you are shy, the best time to do this is when you are a regular at some place and you really do feel confident and comfortable. If you force it, you won't feel comfortable and others won't respond that well.

Web Phones are Coming

2007-12-22T19:53:00.001-08:00

Web Phones are Coming

Phones will change dramatically in the next year with a lot of new functionality. A new trend is the Web Phone. A phone that you can embed in your website.

A company that is spearheading new development is oddly named "Ribbit" -- after the sound that a frog makes. Ribbit is offering a new open source platform for developers.

Ribbit did a "developer launch" recently (12/07) and will do a consumer launch in the first quarter of 2008. Developers are invited to download a version of its APIs for its private developer beta which is open to any programmer. (An API is an "Application Programming Interface -- a set of software tools that a developer can use to create a new software application.)

When Ribbit takes off you will be able to make calls from your computer to a Flash phone with a chalkboard interface and a lot more.

Google's Mobile Phone Platform

2007-12-18T16:46:00.000-08:00

Google is launching a New Mobile Phone Platform, not a phone of their own like a Gphone or a Google Phone, but a platform that geeks and clever programmers can use to create add-ons. It's a new Google Open Source Platform called...

Android

Because the open source approach usually results in many interesting and often powerful applications, we can look forward to some new unusual features in phones that work with Android!

Thirty-four companies are jumping into the ring with both feet -- companies like Motorola, T-Mobile and Intel. Even Ebay. Could Google be thinking about cell phone shopping?

Watch and see. Remember, you heard about Android from Phil Seyer, a part-time geek, dance teacher, and full time Director of Professionals Guild.
