July 24, 2008 | 7 Comments
Heys boys and girls! I have been avoiding my duties to write blogs for too long. I have been buried in the book, doing my best to meet my deadline and since I gave my word I would do it - I did it! The book is complete and off to the publisher. In fact, the publisher already has it posted with Amazon. I am posting the cover so you will get a feel for the book and I hope all of you can’t wait to get it! HA! I like this one. Good title. Obnoxious. Funny. Yet, full of more high-quality information than just about anything to date. This one is packed with how-to’s. Hope you will like it. I’ll be posting much more about the book and offering special discounts to my loyal fans as the release date approaches. Stay tuned. And . . . stay tuned for some rants - I have had a few building up inside me! Thanks for hanging in with me while I wrapped up this project. Oh by the way, the subscription service will be available in September. It is going to ROCK! More to come.

Too good not to share…..
July 6, 2008 | 31 Comments
Sometimes I get such good email and blog postings that I just feel I must share them. This guy posted under the name of Noname. Funny name don’t you think? Never heard that one before. He posted it in response to my posting about when to put on long pants. I got a kick out of it and responded with a posting of my own. But I think all of you who work for a living and came up the hard way and have a lick of sense might enjoy his “holier than thou” approach to success. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what he thinks of me since I have been putting up with pencil necks like him my whole life . . . as I am sure many of you have. Regardless, here is his letter and my response. Hope you enjoy it!

. I didn’t even know who this guy Larry Winget is. I just surfed into this website. And his attitude made me curious to find out more about him. It seems he thinks he is too intelligent, too sophisticated, too good.. Oh yeah? Where did you grow up Larry? In the south? Where did you go to school? Where did you go to college? Harvard? Princeton? Where did you go for graduate studies? What company did you start? Other than the “personal development” talk shows??Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. You seem to be teaching a lot of people how to do things, how to get better.. bla bla.. So you teach, huh?
. Get out there are try DOING something, like start a Google? or start an Apple? Or a Southwest? Or Ebay? What has this guy done????? Other than opening his mouth and talking?
. And he is oh so sophisticated to be commenting about etiquette… Hey may be you should move to NYC and attend some of the balls and dances, and then you might come across as sophisticated. May be you should stop shaving your head, and start shaving your chin, and put on white/blue shirts with dark suits. May be, just may be, then you’ll be on your way to sophistication.

. Hey Noname…….
. Thanks for your comments. You know all about me from my website? Must be a better website than I thought. I really don’t claim to be “too intelligent, too sophisticated or too good.” In fact, in all of my books I point out what a bone-head I’ve been. And yes, I grew up in the South and I’m damn proud of it. Noname, you should spend a buck or two and read one of my books and you will know where I went to school, which companies I started and all the things you seem to think measure success. (By the way, I went to Northeastern Oklahoma State University with a double major in Psychology and Library Science. I missed Harvard and Princeton as I was working my way through college as a telephone operator in Muskogee, Oklahoma on the night shift.) Does it take starting a Google, or Southwest or Apple or Ebay to be successful? Guess I missed that measurement of success. ( I did start a little telecommunications company that was extremely successful. I then messed up and it went into bankruptcy taking me with it. I then started another one which did pretty well. I did some house-flipping, owned a cigar company, have owned a successful seminar company for twenty years and been a pretty successful entrepreneur on a few other ventures too. Admittedly all small potatoes compared to Google, Apple and Southwest but it did leave me a multi-millionaire so I’m not going to complain. By the way, I shop on Ebay a lot, does that count?) Most of the happy, successful, prosperous people I know are regular folks who decided to make something of their lives. The majority don’t have college degrees. The majority don’t attend balls and dances in New York City. The majority of millionaires I know don’t wear white/blue shirts and dark suits. Once you become as successful as you want to be, you can dress pretty much like you want to. You can even shave your head, grow a goatee and wear custom cowboy shirts and boots that cost more than most custom made suits. I’m not really interested in “coming across as sophisticated.” I’d rather come across as authentic. The people I know who try to come across as sophisticated usually end up looking pretty ridiculous so I’ll pass on that one. So Mr. Noname, your view of success is pretty narrow according to my terms and those of us who have busted our asses to make something of our lives. By the way: Sometimes, those who can, actually do. But almost always, those who can’t, end up writing anonymous critiques of those who are doing.
By the way, instead of attending balls, you should maybe get some balls and use your name when you write someone.
All the best to you and all your noname friends and family.
Larry
