It's been a long time since I listened to that tape,
but the ideas are just starting to sink in.

I wasn't ready to hear the message back then,
but I am now and hopefully so are you.

There was an auction in a small town and the next item
to be auctioned off was a dust covered fiddle and a bow.

The auctioneer announced,
"How much will you bid for this fiddle and this bow?"

The bids came slowly and gradually reached $10.

The auctioneer was ready to bang the gavel to complete the sale, when an elderly man in shabby clothes came up and tugged on his sleeve. They whispered for a short time and the auctioneer finally gave in to the man.

The man walked up and took a handkerchief out of his pocket
to polish the fiddle and dust off the bow.

That old man began playing the most beautiful music that the town had ever heard. As he finished he handed the fiddle back to the auctioneer.

The auctioneer walked up to the microphone and announced "How much will you bid on this magnificent violin and this exquisite bow?"

The bidding was fast and furious and that violin sold for ten thousand dollars.

What was the difference between that
fiddle and the magnificent violin?

The touch of the master's hands.

Are you the master?

I hope you don't take as long as I did to let this lesson sink in.

Stop selling steaks and start selling the sizzle.

Wishing You Success, John Colanzi
