[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget #499: Resourceful As A Turkey
It’s Thanksgiving and I’m running around asking people if they remember the “Five Fat Turkeys” song. Nobody remembers. They’re just looking at me like I’m crazy. Lol.
Do you remember the song?
Five fat turkeys are we.
We spent all night in a tree.
When the butcher came ’round,
We couldn’t be found
And that’s why we’re here, you see!
In the face of great adversity, when life is trying to butcher you, if you can hold out and be as resourceful as five turkeys climbing a tree then you will definitely be alright. You’ll be singing, “That’s why I’m here, you see!”

A Lesson On Belief From A Two-Legged Dog
A few years ago, I caught a glimpse of a talk show and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I started talking to myself. (Don’t act like you’ve never talked to yourself.)
Did I just see what I think I saw?!
Yeah, I did. I saw a two-legged dog walking upright like a human!
Now, I don’t know how you would’ve reacted, but it tripped me out. I was flabbergasted. The dog, named Faith, was born with two-back legs, but only one, severely deformed front leg. Because of atrophy, that leg was eventually removed.

[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #131: Personal Branding Starts on the Inside
It’s a crazy, competitive world. So, in order to succeed, people are always looking for a competitive advantage. Developing a strong personal brand is a part of that process. Unfortunately, many people think that personal branding is only about working on things like their resume, social media, online reputation, and appearance.
Think about that.
All of those things are external, but personal branding is also internal. It has lot to do with what’s going on inside of you. Only focusing on the external is like a baker only focusing on the icing.
What about the cake?
What about what’s inside?
What about your character?
Get your SELF together first and everything else will begin to fall in place because personal branding starts on the inside.
What’s in your life tends to be a projection of what’s in you.
Million-Dollar Question:
What does your personal brand look like
on the inside?

[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #311: The Amazing Effects of Your Expectations
Which tastes better, Pepsi or Coke?
In a study done at Baylor College of Medicine, most people said they preferred Coke. But the researchers also monitored people’s brains while they tasted Coke and Pepsi.
When people knew what brand they were drinking, their brains lit up more for Coke than for Pepsi. But, the researchers changed things up. They told people they were drinking Coke even when they were drinking Pepsi and guess what? People’s brains lit up more for Pepsi.
Think about that. It wasn’t just the taste. It was an effect of their expectations.
That’s life.
If you are convinced ahead of time that something is going to be bad or good, many times it will be. Not because of the experience, it’s because of the amazing effects of your expectations.
Million-Dollar Question:
How are your expectations
influencing what happens in your life?
