“The Prosperity” game

Good news, everyone!

I just joined the community of people, who play the “Prosperity game” from the Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires
(check it out on Amazon.com).

Generally speaking, you deposit $1000 on your ‘virtual bank account’ in a first day, then $2000 on a second day, $3000 on a third and so on. And you need to imagine ways to spend them! You will quickly run out of ideas, I guarantee ;)

I feel quite skeptical on any kind of such ‘teaching’, but games (see page 12 of first file for definition of ‘game’) usually attract me and I like to have fun.

At least I do not loose anything, it IS really fun and it makes you think a lot, how you can spend a money. Well, even with virtual one I start thinking a lot and it helps to reveal my own postulates and pre-judgment and thoughts about them.

Check it out, try it and write what do you feel about it.

For me it generates a lot of fun and good mood, when I start thinking of ways to spend the money :)

A good extension to proposed game is to ACTUALLY put aside some small amount of money. I’ve started with $0.25 and adding a quarter each day to sum I’m putting aside. So it is $0.25 first day, $0.5 second, $0.75 third and so on. It turns our that in the end of the one-year experiment I’m going to put into the piggy bank about hundred bucks DAILY. That’s scary! :) But also it is a good challenge to build a passive income source which will at least cover that expenses.

I’ll post reports from time to time here for you :) Join the game, if you want as well.

PS. And the picture in the post has nothing to do with the money :) I searched on Flickr for ‘prosperity’ and it gave me this image. And I liked the Asian girls on it, so that’s why it is on a site ;)

 

 

Business Games – using games in serious environment

On BarCampEVN’13 I had a workshop about using games in serious environment.

So we used a several well-known games to get a feedback from BarCamp visitors (who are actualy, customers who “use” the event) and done some structuring and run analysis on them.

Scrum for Humans

Here is a presentation, I’ve given lately on BarCampEnv’13 about core values of Scrum and Agile methodology. It is more about ideas and vision, and how basic human needs map into Scrum processes and supported by them.

Enterpreneur role through the lens of TA

I had an insight (inner sight, year, I’ve just got a picture in my mind) which I just need to share with all of you.

I was just reflecting and contemplate images and behavior of leaders and successful businessmen I know and I’ve released that the Entrepreneur role (from book of “The E-Myth Revisited“, see my next posts on this) in them interestingly maps into following TA ego-model state: Read On…

How to give people bounties in a right way

It turns our, that appreciating the people in a way they want could be a difficult thing and can even hurt, if done improperly.

The other day I was working with councilor, and we were discussing a theme of appreciation and feedback and how it feels and responds
on a level of emotions/feelings and body sensations. Read On…

Gratitude and appreciation to small things

I’m going through a personal crisis now and it is interesting to contemplate and reflect on my own feelings and thoughts.

They change rapidly through the day and rapid emotional state changes are not that rare. But one of the things that keeps me on a safe side and allows to quickly deal with that is gratitude and acknowledgement of the small and big events in my life. Read On…
