Penelope Trunk I'm decorating the farm house (hooray!) and I'm working with a color consultant. I loved her blog, so I thought I'd try out the idea. (colourmehappy.com.) I've learned SO much from her, the mistakes I would have made surprise me (like my woodwork clashed with the paint I was choosing). This experience reminds me of when I hired a resume consultant. I was shocked by how much better she made my resume. I wonder, what are other types consultants you guys have hired who made amazing changes for you?

So much so that I have a subscription to her website at beautypedia.com. Her team has reviewed thousands of individual products so it's invaluable for putting together a skin care routine that meets your budget and actually works.

Penelope Trunk So, I've been thinking after the webinar with Seth Godin today. I've been thinking about how he told everyone they have to be in a dip. They have to be trying to do something hard. And I have this cynical hunch that most people are not doing this. They have ideas about doing it but they're not doing it. Do you guys think I'm cynical or on target?

I think Americans often look for the easy way. But doing hard things builds character. In fact, a couple of teens, Alex and Brett Harris, started a blog called the Rebelution a few years ago to challenge their generation to "do hard things" as an antedote to the low expectations being placed on teens today. They are making a difference and there are more teens that believe in themselves and are "doing hard things." Check it out at http://www.therebelution.com/blog/.

So really, what do you want to do?, after you have your comforts and necessities taken care of? The sky is the limit...

I think people have gotten good at enjoying the status quo, and are scared of long term hard work to achieve something. Just look at 4 year degree graduation trends in the past X number of years...
