!!GIVEAWAY!! Kokka/Echino and Sun Felt Booths { 2010 Fall Quilt Market Recap Series} PART 2
I was lucky enough to snag one of their 2011 catalogs and haven't been able to put it down since. Even my "non-quilter" wife was fascinated by the decor. The colors were so saturated and bright.
The 2011 Echino collection is full of Etsuko Furuya's signature style and use of color. The way she layers different elements on a single piece of fabric is very interesting to me.
I think my wife and I stood in front of these bags for several minutes. The prints were so fun.
Here are some more images from items in the Kokka section of the booth. I don't recall seeing any quilts among the items shown here, but there were some fine examples of clothing and bags made from their fabrics.
The US distributor for Kokka textiles and Echino is Seven Islands. I encourage you to head over to their website to learn more. It is full of images of yummy fabrics.
While we were finishing up browsing the Kokka booth, a very nice lady started a presentation on how to make felt foods in the Sun Felt booth. We wandered quickly in her direction as the crowd around her small table began to grow. I didn't want to miss what she had to say because the felt foods scattered around her booth were scrumptious. They looked so real.
It looked as if someone had set up a tiny little bakery in the middle of her booth. The food looked awesome! I wanted to grab it up and take a closer look but didn't want to chance making them upset. I handed someone my card and immediately was given a large packet of brochures, all in Japanese.
I didn't take any pictures of the demonstration for copyright purposes but the technique they used was so simple with extremely gorgeous results. Looking at these photos, I wish I'd purchased some of their kits to bring home and share with you.
As a special treat for all my readers during this month when I recap my Quilt Market excursion, I'm giving away free stuff!
For this week's giveaway, I'm offering up a fat quarter bundle of the new 2011 Echino fabrics (released fall 2010). One lucky winner will get their pick of one colorway from the new line as seen here in one of my sponsor shops, Hawthorne Threads. You can select from either cool, fresh, sunrise or sunset.
Please leave a comment on this post for your entry. Only one entry per person, please. All duplicate entries will be deleted. I will draw a winner using the Random Number Generator on Sunday, November 14, 2010!
Good luck,

Things this week have been rough. I ended up dropping me microbiology class. I had an interview for a job doing direct care. My life this semester has totally changed. I went from full time status to only taking one class which is my trio class.
My financial situation hasn't ever been this bad for me. But I know that everything happens for a reason I am not giving up. I am just going to wait until next March to apply to the nursing program so I can take the required classes in a timely manner. So I just hope things start to get better.

The city manager's office in Charlotte, North Carolina, is attempting to align and focus the city's programs and operating departments. City managers, working collaboratively with the elected mayor and city council, have identified five strategic themes to make Charlotte the number one city in which to live and work. The themes are community safety, transportation, strong neighborhoods, economic development, and cost-effective government. The city managers, however, find it difficult to get the individual city operating departments to orient their efforts to these five strategic themes. They use the four perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard to develop objectives for the five strategic themes. Once developed, each operating department then has been asked to develop departmental balanced scorecards to communicate and focus their local objectives toward accomplishing the city's strategic priorities. The case describes the development and use of the balanced scorecard as a strategic management system.
learning objective:
To examine the motivation for developing a balanced scorecard in a government context. Enables students to explore the modifications required to use this performance management approach in a nonprofit sector and to debate its effectiveness in focusing the efforts of diverse municipal departments, such as police, transportation, utilities, and neighborhood development.
subjects covered:
Adoption; Balanced scorecard; Business growth; Growth; Growth strategy; Implementing strategy; Incentive programs; Incentives; Local government; Management; Management controls; Performance management; Performance measurement; Public schools; Strategy; Teams; Valuation

here is the other DANISH style mozzarella cheese by Sorrento Cheese. i did not get to try this one yet, but it comes with good recommendation. I am guessing that the two are very close in taste and texture. I will let you know when I find out the price.

I got to try the Sorrento Gold Whole milk Danish Style Cheese today. Another Pizzeria in my area uses it. There are only 3 in the state of WA that i know of that use Danish Mozzarella. I think that it really does make a difference, but it gets expensive. I continue to use it at home with my beer dough for now. However, there are times that i like Fresh Mozzarella on pizza.

I am not sure what kind of style this Samuel Adams beer is suppose to be?? It has a sweet taste and the brewery says that it has a half pound of malt in each bottle, enough for a loaf of bread. (see attached photos) This is what caught my attention, so I am going to try it in my dough recipe. Your thoughts once again appreciated.
With a very limited release, 4 bottles (12oz ) costs me 10.99. If it wasn't for the dough experimenting, i would have passed on it.

I found some facts about this beer at the Samuel Adams website: check the Profile section
Also, I made dough last night with it. Can't wait to try it after two days in the refrigerator. Even though this beer is a deeper mahogany color, it did not discolor the dough. Just a very slight yellow color in the dough. This beer is very sweet so I am looking forward the pizza. Again, this is a very expensive beer to make your pizza with, but I just had to try it. I will post a photo when I make the pizza.

So far the dough is rising very well, even after only one day in the refrigerator. I will give it one more day in the refrigerator for flavor development. (2 days total) You can see in the pictures that the dough has a hint of yellow from the beer and some Olive Oil. I like to let them develop in a gallon size Zip Lock Freezer bag. (Although in the past, I used a metal bowl with plastic on top) I give each dough ball a very very light coating of olive Oil which will keep it from sticking to the bag and adds a hint more flavor. Each bag of dough will make 3 dough balls for three 14" pizzas. (six pizzas total for two bags) I placed a quarter next to the bags so you can see the size of the dough compared to the quarter. Also, took a photo of a single bag next to a quarter. Can't wait to make some pizza soon and see how this beer makes the dough taste.

So I guess you're wondering about the Doppelbock and what it is? Yes dopplebock, German for Double Bock, but what the hell is a bock and why double it? Well bock means goat in German. What goats have to do with beer is anybody's guess but... Its also the name of a high strength lager beer, thus the goat on the Sam Adams label. Now increase the strength of the high strength lager (but not really twice the strength of a bock), about 1 and 1/2 times the strength of a regular bock and call it a double bock. So your Double Bock is about 7 to 10% alcohol and a regular bock is about 6 to 7% alcohol.
So... A double bock is a corruption of the German Dopplebock, with nothing to do with goats but sharing the same name and is not really twice the strength of a regular bock...ok, there it is in a nutshell.
Bocks are know for their malty sweetness, but, beware, increased malty sweetness usually means increased bittering hops to balance the finish of the beer, so...a double bock, that is an American Doppelbock may be on the bitter side for culinary purposes. The original German Dopplebock is low in hop but Americans are crazy where hops are concerned and often over hop European sytles to appease the American craft beer drinking palate (hop-heads in the vernacular). But, if you have cooked with the beer and found no undue bitterness, then, its ok.
Bock and its attendant styles (Dopplebock, Maibock, Eisenbock and Traditional bock) are sort of winter warmer beers, big on the palate, malty, sweet and usually alcoholic. Not something to drink all night but one to have before bed or after a meal. Dobblebocks are traditionally named with "ator" on the end of the name, some famous ones...Optimator, Salvator, Celebrator...actually quite a list..I want to brew a South Alabama version "Alligator" Dopplebock and plan on doing so soon. The Dopplebock with a bite. I would consider bocks a good style to cook with but one to use caution on as the malt can be rather "thick" and American versions may be over hopped.
One of my favorite styles of beer....

Thanks again Ron for the amazing break down of this beer and now I understand why they have a Goat on the bottle. This beer worked well with the pizza dough and I found no undue bitterness in the dough taste. I think this beer works well and makes the dough a little sweeter. I made six pizzas for two different events and everyone liked how the pizza dough tasted.
I guess the question I have to ask myself is: "Does the price of the beer justify the dough taste". Personally I think it does for special occasions, but I do not see myself using this beer every time I make a pizza. The Red Hook ESB beer is priced much lower for my regular pizza making and produces very good results. I hope those reading this understand that every pizza is worth the effort, but my personal budget does not allow me to do this all the time.
Even the Danish Mozzarella Cheese is amazing, but that will also be for my special occasion events as well. (Again, a very expensive cheese ) However, I will continue to use Whole Milk Mozzarella every time. That is a must for me.
This has been fun and I recommend everyone trying Beer in your pizza dough making process at least one time. It really does make the dough that much better. (I am not the only one saying this either) Have fun experimenting with the many different beers, but avoid the really dark beers in this dough making process. Here are a few photos of the Pizza made with Samuel Adams Double Boch Beer.

With the on going Beer dough making experimenting, I tried what is know as a Brown Ale in making my dough. This beer is called "Moose Drool" and is made by the Big Sky Brewing Company in Missoula, Montana. While this is a very flavorful beer, it did not produce the same results as the Samuel Adams Double Boch or the Red Hook ESB beer. (the Samuel Adams Double Boch produced the best results, but costs the most per bottle)
The dough came out very well, but did not have the same flavor. Those who tried the pizza made the same comments to me. At this point, I am not going to try anymore Dark or Darker Beers. I am posting this comment to save anyone the time and trouble in your beer additions to the flour. I am sure there must be someone out there that will disagree with my findings, but I am going by what others that tasted the pizza told me as well.
Here are a few photos.

As you can see the dough did not change color that much, even though this is a Dark Amber colored beer.

I made a 10 inch pizza and them my usual 14 inch pizza. Again, the pizza was good, but the one made with the Red Hook ESB was very good, and the Samuel Adams Double Boch was the BEST.

I visited a Beer Store in my area to find "Samuel Adams Double Bock" to make another batch of pizza dough. While there, I discovered another Samuel Adams beer. This one is called "Samuel Adams Imperial White". It looks like a Hefeweizen style beer in color (a little lighter color than the Double Bock) , but has a very SWEET taste that was even sweeter than the double bock. (Just like the beer store told me it would) I used the same recipe for my beer Pizza Dough.
However, i made one batch of dough using the "Samuel Adams Imperial White", and the other batch using the "Samuel Adams Double Bock". I will let everyone know the results in a few days, after the dough has a chance to cold rise in the fridge for two days.
Samuel Adams Imperial White 12 oz bottle = $2.68
Samuel Adams Double Bock 12 oz bottle = $3.38
Here are photos and then a Profile on the beer.

Made two pizzas tonight. One pepperoni pizza from the batch made with Samuel Adams Imperial White and a pepperoni / Black Olive/ Red pepper made with Samuel Adams Double Bock. While both turned out really good, my choice was dough made with the S A Double Bock. From this point on I will use the S A Double Bock or use Red Hook ESB. (Depending on my budget) Red hook is the lower priced beer.
Also, i can not stress how important it is to use a Whole Milk Mozzarella cheese.
Finally, I am going to create another thread that include just the recipe and dough making process as a quick reference without all the experimenting logs. This pizzamaking.com forum has really helped me a lot. I am really grateful for it.

I agree with Don... Your pies are looking better each time out Tom. Since you are experimenting... Try a slightly larger rim on a pizza with the same batch of dough. I think you might be pleasantly surprised by the textural changes in your beer dough crust. I am enjoying your journey, brings me back to when I started experimenting... You are far more scientific than I am though... I'm kind of a science idiot.

TomN, Are you able to tell the difference in flavor using different beers? Or is it safe to say there is more of a difference between a light and dark beer in terms of final flavor? I am often torn with just how much water to evaporate off on the beers I use. I know you have been using them straight. Any issues with the IDY in this regard? are you cold fermenting? Keep at it, it's looking good.

I want to be clear that i did not get this idea on my own. A friend that has several Pizzerias and who has been in the business for 20 years gave me the specs for the amounts of beer and water. He was very clear to use 60 percent Beer and 40 percent water. it was recommended to use 12 oz of liquid for 4 cups of high gulten flour. This means breaking it down to 4.8 oz of warm water and 7.2 oz of beer. I also add 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil to the water mix.
While the recipe is on the thread, here is a quick recap. The 4.8 or 5 oz of water, is WARM water, and I mix 1 1/2 teaspoons of quick rising yeast. I also add 1 Tablespoon of sugar, then set it aside for 3 mins to do it's thing.
The Beer is poured into the measuring cup and I let it get a head of foam. This lets the beer release some of it's carbonation. I then spoon OFF the foam from the measuring cup and do not use the foam. Just straight beer that measure at 7.2 oz or just a little over. This is a measurement with the foam removed. When I did not remove the foam, my pizza dough really bubbled up in the oven.
Just as i am about to add the warm water with yeast/sugar, I add 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil and mix it up. I pour this into the flour as I mix it with my hand. (I have previously added 1 teaspoon of salt to the High gulten flour)
Then, I slowly pour in the beer and continue to mix it in the flour. I mix then kneed the dough for 5 to 10 mins till it becomes very Soft/ stretchy like texture. Coat the dough ball with a very very light amount of olive oil and them place into a 1 gallon Glad freezer bag. It is placed in my refrigerator for a min of 24 hours so it can COLD RISE. Later I divide the risen dough flat ball into three sections and make three smaller dough balls which will be used as needed.
ABOUT THE BEER: There is a flavor difference in the beer choice in my opinion. I ultimately Love the results and flavor when using Samuel Adams Double Bock Beer, but a lower cost beer that works well is the RED HOOK ESB. (Depends how much you can spend at the moment) While both these beers have amber / Darker yellow color, they are not what i consider DARK beers or stout. My advice is to avoid the really DARK beers, even a dark amber beer.
Finally, as you make the dough, if it seems to be too dry as your doing the mixing, just add a little bit more water. So far, it has turned out well for me. The more dough you make the easier it seems to get. Hope this helps.

A few other beers that I have been trying in my dough.
Duvel Belgian Golden Ale - worked very well, but at $12.00 for 750ml, it was very expensive beer.
Paulaner Salvator Double Bock - not as expensive, good flavor, but almost a little too dark in dough making.
Blue Moon Belgian White - Belgian Style Wheat Ale - lighter and work well, priced right.
Samuel Adams Alpine Spring - lighter in color, slight citrus flavor, work well, no comparison to the Samuel Adams Double Bock (different beers types of course, but i am talking dough making)

In answer to your question: Yes the proposal would need to be very polished; not just idea stage but well researched on its subject, characters, relevance and uniqueness.

Hi Doug,
Betty, would be great if you registered as a full member , which would give you access to all 50 of our discussion topics, including fundraising and distribution.
My name is Mark. I am a software developer and film student. I decided to go to film school because I had a documentary that was set to go twice and the production company flaked on me both times. The story is so close to my heart that I decided to learn how to do the doc my self. That was in 2008 and I have just finished preproduction. Production to start in March.
Welcome, Mark. You may find the story of D-Word member Jon Foy inspiring. He was in the same boat as you, now heading off to Sundance with his first doc.
Hello, I'm Nancy, communications coordinator for the British Columbia chapter of the Documentary Organization of Canada. I'm gonna be in here every week or so looking for news and stuff to share with the DOC BC membership and I'm curious to hear what other people are up to in terms of financing and developing their own films.
Welcome to The D-Word, Nancy! (Blame it on the holidays that nobody has greeted you yet...)
You should also apply for Professional status here ...
Welcome, Nancy :)
Hello folks, and Happy New Year!
My name is Errol, and I'm a documentary cinematographer based in Baltimore, Maryland. Last year turned out to be a particularly good year for me with the film that I shot, 'Music by Prudence', winning an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short – most easily remembered as the film behind the "Oscar Kanye moment." lol. Since then, I've worked on projects in various African countries and along America's eastern seaboard.
In Summer 2010 Elinor Burkett & I finished another documentary, 'iThemba,' which went on to premiere at IDFA this past November as well as showing at various other festivals in Europe and Africa. iThemba is now in the distribution stage.
In Brooklyn NY, I'm working with director, Michele Stephenson on 'An American Promise' – a coming-of-age documentary that's 11 years in the making, about 2 African-American boys and explores the dynamics that surround them as they matriculate a private High School in Manhattan.
Additionally, in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York, we've begun shooting a nature-doc in the fall with director, Mike Mathis, on the life of Naturalist & Essayist, John Burroughs, who grew in notoriety for his research and activism in the early 1900s. For this shoot, all the footage (sans the interviews) was shot solely on the, now popular, Canon HDSLRs. There are many pros and cons to this new technology, but while working with the camera for the entire shoot, I was able to find ways to combat the issues that normally plague video shot on the any Canon HDSLR.
My forte is shooting – it's what I love doing and have been doing since 2003. Every day I try to learn something new, whether it be from other docs or from simply watching a TV Show and picking scenes apart. I'm a stickler for good sound and lighting and am maniacal about shooting things right, even if it means agonizing over a shot for another minute or two til it's just right, time permitting, of course.
Now where editing is concerned, I gained about 40,000 hours of my editing experience with Final Cut Pro while still in college, which helped greatly post-college when I started my documentary career in 2008. I do documentary editing but not nearly as much as I shoot. I find myself spending many hours now soaking up all I can about video and various technology because the more I know, the better I am able to become creatively. Plus I'll be prepared when it comes to video troubleshooting which I do a lot of for people when they're stuck in say, a Final Cut Pro problem...right upon a deadline, or making suggestions for their next camera/equipment purchase. So I hope I'll be of some help on some of the threads on the D-Word.
With this new year, my goal is to create more great work with great people, make new contacts and build friendships in this close-knit weave which is the documentary film world. I wish you all a very productive and successful 2011!
Welcome, Errol. Great to have you here with us. There's a lot of collective knowledge in the various discussion topics for you to soak up. And I'm sure we'll be learning a lot from you, too.
Welcome Errol!
Hi Everyone – I'm a Director/Producer/ Camera-person from Asheville, North Carolina. Last year I finished a film called ON COAL RIVER with my wife/co-director and we're starting another project now. I signed up for D-Word a few months ago, but I'm just now starting to poke around the threads and appreciating the resource this is! I'm looking forward to learning a lot :)
Good to have you come out of the darkness at last, Adams.
Hi Adams, saw On Coal River at STF last year. Great job, good luck with your new film.
I just heard the sad news about Judy Bonds from On Coal River. My condolences.
Hello everyone – Thanks to a tip from another doc maker I've been lurking about the forums for months now, trying to soak up as much wisdom as possible, but as 2011 dawns I figure it's time to wave hello.
I'm a writer/director currently stationed in Los Angeles and am in post on my first documentary project: a series about five starkly disparate elementary and high schools in New Orleans and Baltimore, the unusual historical origin they all share, and the stories of what it's like to educate inside their respective walls today. Thanks, all of you, for creating such a great collective resource and community, and Happy New Year!
Welcome, Steve. Feel free to register as a professional member. You'll gain access to all 50 discussion topics.
Thanks for the welcome, Doug!
Good to have you joining us, Steve. Say goodbye to all your free time ;-)
Hi D-Word. Happy to be here. I just finished my first feature doc this past year and its been on the festival circuit having a pretty good time. The film is called A Life Ascending. You can find a trailer at ALifeAscending.com Im starting to enter the world of hybrid distribution and anxious to learn from others and share what Im learning along the way. Im also looking for some interns to share some of the experience with and to help with some of the research and marketing work. cheers, Stephen
Congratulations on completing your film, Stephen and welcome as a full D-Word Member too – feel free to explore the place. You may also wish to re-post your request for interns (perhaps with some more details) in the Public Classifieds Topic
I've just joined the D-Word, thanks to John Burgan for the connection. It seems like a terrific space/collective resource. I hope to make a useful contribution. Here are some headlines re my background.
These days I work at the intersection of documentary and participatory media. I was co-founder and producer of BBC2's award winning Video Nation project, for which people across the UK recorded everyday life in the 90s, which we edited, with their approval, into over twenty hours of diverse TV output. I was Executive Producer of the BBC Capture Wales digital storytelling project, the first major initiative of its kind in the UK, which was informed by the work of The Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley, and resulted in a wealth of autobiographical stories made in workshops around Wales, and contributed to a continuing.digital storytelling culture here.
I still live in South Wales though I'm now a Research Fellow at the Digital Cultures Research Centre, at the University of the West of England in Bristol. My research explores the emergence of collaborative online documentary. I'm interested in how a collaborative approach and the online network might enhance documentary's role in the public sphere.
I blog at http://collabdocs.wordpress.com/
In the 90s I was a producer/director of documentary and arts TV. My work pursued themes of culture and identity – in Hilda at Darjeeling for Channel Four British women looked back on their role in India under the Raj, in Meeting the Masai Mob for BBC2, Aboriginal Australians met with Masai people to share experiences over land rights. I've also made work about culture and media – Pictures in the Post (BBC2) was a history of the 20th century told through postcards and their messages. Verite Today (BBC2) looked at ideas of truth in British documentary and included interviews with Jean Rouch Nick Broomfield and Richard Leacock. How the West was Lost (Channel 4) looked at Native American representations in Hollywood, and in Navajo Media.
Right now I'm looking for participants for a web based collaborative project. Within my practice based research I'm revisiting Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin's seminal 1960 documentary, Chronicle of a Summer, in particular the question which opens the film, in the classic vox pops sequence, Are you happy? You can see a clip on the site homepage – http://theareyouhappyproject.org/
I'm seeking collaborators who are interested in getting involved by asking that question on video in their locality. This could be an interesting brief for media studies or documentary students. If that interests any teachers here I could offer a briefing via Skype, and could put the call to action into context, both of the original film and of the growing field of collaborative online documentary. (I should mention that I have some teaching experience. ) Thanks for reading. My email – firstname.lastname@example.com
What a fascinating background, Mandy. We did a bunch of collaborative projects here at The D-Word in our first few years, but sadly none since then. A shame since such great potential exists for it within a strong and supportive worldwide community like this. So certainly hope your presence helps inspire some more collaborations.
Great to have you here, Mandy. I will definitely be encouraging colleagues and students to participate in the Are you happy? project
Thanks Doug, John. I look forward to D-Wording. Have a good weekend.
Hi D-Word community,
My name is Jeff Girard. I've been an activist since 2000 primarily in the area of bettering the LGBT community. I started the first visible LGBT group in my hometown in 2003, led it through the end of 2007, and then became employed as a volunteer recruiter and trainer with the NO on 8 campaign in San Francisco and Sacramento. Since 2009, I've been in the east bay.
In late 2009, I bought a program to hook up my VCR to my computer to transfer my home movies to digital format. It came with a simple video editing program and once I started using it my creative side was reinvigorated after having been set aside while I focused on activism. It started to occur to me that I could merge my creativity and activism by making viral videos and films.
My areas of interests regarding activism and documentary filmmaking include:
-initiating sustainable gay groups in rural/isolated areas, which is needed in many places in CA
-LGBT equality
-preventing the destruction of the human food supply
-voter empowerment: required open debates; instant runoff voting; repealing Prop. 14; the advancement of alternative parties and independents
-access to affordable genuinely-healthy food for all
-healthy sexual education inclusive to LGBT teens; opposition to the glorification of un-protected sex
-freedom from the big-brother/nanny state
I am here seeking collaborators and mentors. Please email me at email@example.com if you would like to collaborate with me or offer a mentorship opportunity in the Sacramento, east bay, or southern CA areas. (Note: I apologize if sharing email is against TOS but I am unable to find whether or not it is)
We've heard a lot about "it gets better" for LGBT folks recently. I hope that promise is not just for teens but for the LGBT folks who endure adversities in their adulthood. I've found it to be a challenge to find mentors in the LGBT community. Maybe I just don't know the right people. To be clear, I am open to working with people of all walks of life – not just LGBT folks.
I want to continue to do good works as an activist – I just need to make enough to pay for my vehicle and food. My hope is that I can find a mentor who sees the record of good works I've done as an activist to mentor me and help me become even more equipped to do good in the world while being able to take care of myself too.
With all humility, I was the only person in my family to graduate high school and not get into drugs or become an alcoholic. I come from a tough background with no examples of successful people in my family. When I became an adult I had to start working to survive and since then I have avoided student loan debt. I may not be a college educated person, but I'm certainly an intelligent and creative person. Well, I did take one public speaking class. I got an "A."
I became unemployed last November and am trying to do all I can to find a place for me to utilize my passion for activism and creativity. I'm hoping to work on projects and partner with or create a nonprofit to fund my projects. I'm living in my vehicle by choice and I could not be happier about it. It's equipped me to push myself harder to move forward. In case you're wondering, I shower utilizing couch surfing. I'm quite clean and organized considering I live in a vehicle.
Because I am living in my vehicle, for now, I can go anyway. For now, I'm still in the east bay near San Francisco.
Thank you for your consideration.
-Jeff Girard

Quick reminder guys. The way we
structure this training it means you need
to follow along with the techniques.
Even if you find that days one easy.
Even if you find it hard.
Be bold. Make things happen.
If you really don't want to do this day
by day you can jump ahead with the full
SSA system designed to give you everything
at once.
Yesterday I challenged you to hold a
conversation with your "safe" person and
use the BREAK technique whenever you
found yourself drifting into your own head.
If you don't know what I'm talking about
you're not keeping up with the training.
For the full training check out how to overcome shyness or…
Go back and read.
Make things happen.
Between the journals I've read and the replies
most of you have been doing well with this.
Don't worry if you're struggling a bit everyone's
going to go at a bit of a different pace here. If
you're still struggling it doesn't matter.
Just keep working at it. It'll become easier
quicker than you might think. You might
try finding an additional "safe" person
you can talk to to increase the social exposure.
Just keep going until you manage it,
Keep BREAKING those bad habits.
Whether you're still working on that
today or you flew through it, I have
a new task for you today.
Another simple one but it can carry more
weight than you might think.
Give out a freebie.
Don't make a huge deal over it. Next time you
pass a stranger on the street who has something
that stands out, compliment them on it.
Could be anything from a crazy hairstyle to
a piece of clothing. Anything that stands out.
Ideally you want to do it on a quiet enough street
so they'll hear you without having to repeat yourself.
And not too many people around to put you off.
Don't make a big deal over it. Don't stop and look
to keep a conversation going. They don't know
you're doing this for the social exposure. It'll
be normal enough for them at worst and, at best, you're
making someone else's day.
The result here is mainly two fold.
First of all you'll get the social exposure. Getting
used to talking to people and giving a compliment
is putting yourself out there just enough without
really putting yourself at risk.
It's minimum risk to yourself because you're
not hanging around. It's a freebie and you're gone.
Secondly it's likely to give you a short term confidence
boost. It might take a few attempts before you're comfortable
enough to realise it, but it'll get easier the more
you do it.
Added bonus is, in some cases, it might lead to a further
conversation. Either there on the spot or later on.
But you're not planning that.
It's important you keep in mind you're just
looking to give out the freebie compliment and
move on.
I want you to do this with at least one person today.
It has to be a stranger, not someone you can talk
to normally.
Don't worry about a whole conversation or anything.
Drop the compliment, smile and keep walking.
If and I mean IF you find yourself in a longer
conversation then use the BREAK technique
if needed and remember to stay present but
don't make more out of it than it is.
Don't fall behind guys. Do your best to
get out there and do it today.
If you're still working on the BREAK technique
with your safe conversations then I want you to
do both.
And keep an eye out for tomorrow's email.
I have something really useful for you.
Be bold. Make things happen.
