Master Kovaleski's 90 Day Challenge Has Begun!

Building Authentic Business Relationships

Do you believe you can make a difference in the world? Do you believe you have a mission that will make our home a better place? Do you believe we are all connected and what one person does; makes a difference? If you answer yes to one or all of the questions, it is your responsibility to share your message, product or service with other people who are in desperate need of what you offer. Most people want to make a difference; they believe they came here to fulfill a mission that would make the world a better place. Since you are on my list, I believe you are a spirit being with an important message to share. Often, people like you either work for yourself or dream of that freedom as you are overflowing from the corporate box. Plus, if you are like me, you do not want anyone telling you how to spend your day. In order to be successful in your life it is crucial to establish genuine connection using an ever-changing system of technology and networking strategies. Perhaps you like to get up and journal, take the dog to the park, exercise, hike, garden, or volunteer, or you fill in the blank. Working for someone else 9-5 just doesn’t match. The old forms are crumbling; now is a perfect time to set your plan into action, no matter if you are already an entrepreneur, self-employed, or considering making a jump.

If only martial artists would take a child's advice:

I remember my own children and the many that I've worked with over the years, summarizing an important lesson in life, "Talk what you know!" In the case of these children, it was obvious that problems occur when people allow rumors and sensationalism to be the guiding forces in a life strategy. We should never talk about something or someone we have no direct knowledge or information about. That is the essence of why we have created L&L Magazine, Legends and Legacies series (on WorldWideDojo.com etc.) and the power of most of the writing I've published in the last two years. Frank Dux has been maligned for many years, keeping a secret for Alfred Urquidez and the illustrious Urquidez family...at Mr. Dux's own very great expense. The time has finally come where Grandmaster Alfred Urquidez was able to relieve himself of the burden that he knew was mostly being carried by Frank Dux. I am proud to call both of these fine men my friends and partners. Below is the podcast from Carson's Corner, which aired last night (8-23-12). The Urquidez/Dux section airs about 1/2 way through the podcast (approximately 65 minute mark).

Bob Ozman dies in his home

It is with a sad heart that I announce that Bob Ozman, the first karate instructor in the San Fernando Valley, creator of Mushin-Gi-Tai, student of Tatsuo Shimabuku (the founder of Isshin-ryu)friend, teacher, colleague, actor, director, inspiration to a great many martial artists, and my first karate instructor...has died. He was found dead by his friend and landlord in their Santa Clarita home on Wednesday morning, an apparent victim of the diabetes that he'd battled for many years. He had been found unconscious several times previously, when his blood sugar had dropped dangerously low in the night where he had to be rushed to the hospital. In this case, however, there was no one nearby to assist him and, for whatever reason he died in his sleep. He will be buried in Indiana where some of his family members are still living. Your comments may be posted here, on WorldWideDojo.com or sent directly his niece, Audrey on my Facebook, Author-Page. Many of his students remained close and visited him often. Rico Rose said this," I hate this. I had just introduced my own son to Bob a couple of weeks ago. We will all miss him. At least now he can workout again with Johnny Atkinson."
