Deal or no deal?

My boys and I have been enjoying the NBC program Deal or No
Deal lately. I think it’s a genuine reality show and very entertaining. I
mean…what could be more dramatic than watching someone have to make a critical
decision under a great deal of pressure. OK…I know it’s not life or death but
regardless of your opinion about money…the possibility of walking away with a
substantial amount of cash (enough cash to change your life) is enough to make
anyone’s palms sweaty.

But let’s talk about you. A couple of entries ago I made a
too-long list of what ifs. Did any of those hit you? Did any cause you to pause
and think? Did any make your palms sweaty? Did you make a plan to do anything?

Here’s my challenge…

Take a moment and read through the above list again. Pay
particular attention to those things that either connect with you in some way
or remind you of other what ifs that you’ve thought of on your own. Pick out
two or three and make a plan to go for them. If it helps, email me and tell me
about the ones you’ve chosen. I’ll even promise to write you back and ask you
how you’re coming along as the days and weeks go by.

It’ll take some guts. It’ll take some fortitude. So…what’s
it going to be…deal or no deal?
