Where are we going?
1. REFLECT on what you truly want & enjoy– What is your Unique Genius? Dream Business(es)?– Result: a “Vision ___” (a representation you can share with others)– Aaron: answers came ~2 months after asking the questions (June 07)
2. PLAY with how your Unique Genius manifests– Play a game that you win by creating a next, 90-day game to play
that’s inspiring to both you and to others– The 90-day game carries you through to “Receive”– Aaron: my game gelled after three months (Aug 07)

1. 2.
3. ATTRACT an audience, fans– Result: you have your “first 5” (collaborators, affiliates or opt-ins)– Aaron: began attracting after 8 months (March, 08)
4. PACKAGE products & services for your audience– Result: you create products or find others’ products to share (you
have your first Layers of the Onion that produce $)– Aaron: launched “Come Play With Me” after 20 months (March 09)
5. RECEIVE income and growth…and it’s time to reflect again!– Result: you have monthly revenue, and are familiar with financial
and commerce tools– Aaron: Year 3 for PebbleStorm

Unique Genius
![Page 7: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Why Unique Genius Matters
• It’s the foundation of your Dream Business house• Enjoyable success: more “success” in something you
don’t enjoy creates more unhappiness• Lasting success: easy come, easy go!• If a business is easy to start for you, it’ll be easy for 100
others to start too
• Differentiated success: people WILL rip you off, but they can’t take your unique genius or audience
• Sustainable success: The audience and fans attracted by your Unique Genius will stick with you
![Page 9: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unlocking Your Unique Genius
• It’s like watering a plant
• Constantly watering it will kill it
• Give it a little water (attention) each day, and eventually it’ll sprout
![Page 10: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Like Musicians‘ Uniqueness• Fans are eternal• Musicians collaborate, rather than
compete• Authentic talent lasts
– Key is unlocking your authentic talent
![Page 11: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
They Will Copy Your Site, But Not Your Unique Genius & Audience
“Fresh, customized and B2B customer data”
![Page 12: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1st: What Are Your Puzzle Pieces?• Are you committed getting real answers from the
worksheet, or not taking it seriously? • Shared any of it with your team or friends yet?
![Page 13: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2nd: What Can You Build With Them?
• What is a Dream Business for you?
• Or any fun project?• Consider both what it
does, and what it does for you
![Page 14: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Is A Dream Business For You?
• How can you mash your enjoyments?
• Who would you want to help, & how?
Try saying or writing “My dream business is…”
![Page 15: Pebble Storm Reflect Webinar Dc Trip 10-3-09](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554c73f4b4c9057c778b5423/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Breakdowns & Backsliding• They are ok!!! • Breakdowns happen when we try new things• I still backslide:
• I forget my enjoyment points• I forget to make work fun• I fall back into “work is hard” habits
• It’s just like returning to your breath in meditation…
1. Relax2. Choose another babystep and make it tiny!
3. Ask for help

What are YOU creating?
• Keep doing what you’re doing = keep getting what you’re getting

• Cloudy mind - intoxicants, drama

My “Small Pebble, Big Wave” Self-Manifesto
• “How can I make the biggest impact with the least effort? (And with the most happiness?)”
• “Small pebble = least effort, big wave = biggest impact”• “I want to work on what I want, when I want, with whom I
want, and make plenty of money at it.”• “I want to…
– Be in control of the work/business, not have it be in control of me. I don’t want to be a slave to a company, even one that I start.
– Enjoy work, by working from a place of desire, not obligation or ego– Contribute from areas of strength…”
