“It’s just a flesh wound!”
I don’t know about you, but the Black Knight’s line from the classic movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, makes me laugh every time. You have to admire his perseverance after losing not one, but BOTH of his arms to King Arthur.
The Black Knight also stands as a great example for not recognizing that a situation maybe be more dire that it seems—a situation that happens as much in our businesses as it does in our personal lives.
This week, I have my own personal “Black Knight” story in which I ignored a flesh wound for way longer than I should have. In the process, I also discovered a powerful business lesson that I wanted to share with you.
Enjoy—and be sure to leave me a comment! I want to hear about your actions from this week’s video because I know it will make a huge difference for you. Let’s celebrate together in the comments. 🙂
Hi Pam,
Thanks for the “wake-up call”. I’ve been putting off writing and posting a press release on our blog about a new book we’re working on. It’s the 2nd edition of Ed Sherman’s “Make Any Divorce Better” and we have a beautiful new cover plus some new material I want to post about. I’ve been meaning to do this, and you have motivated me to get going!
I love Monty Python’s ability to take things to and beyond the extremes. Your finger, it will be fine, it is there after all. Love it…
Hi Pam
I grew up watching Monty’s, Ihave just bought yet another Internet Marketing Program.
I have spent thousands of €’s on products that are a lot of Cr**, But i thing this one will actually work !!
I bought this program about six months ago, but i have done nothing with it until it was relaunched a couple of weeks ago.
What i am trying to say is, this morning i went in to the member’s area and started the training,Perhaps I am scared that it might WORK ??.
Procrastination is the bain of my life, So strangely enough I started the course just before I got your email,
is that not a coincidence, un petit bizarre non.

Charles, I think you hit on a huge piece for a lot of people (achievers!) – we are often afraid of what will happen if it DOES work. Congrats for recognizing that. One step at a time! 🙂 Pam
Thanks Pam, Took your advice and knocked out two phone calls I had been procrastinating on. Feels good. Hope your finger is better.

Nice to hear from you! Yes, let’s keep each other accountable. Hope you are well – sorry about the Chiefs so far. 🙁
