Shoulda Pushed the Reset Button

You know how our brains are like computers? They’re always collecting data, making relationships and storing information.

Well, there ought to be a reset button on our brains just like the ones found on many computers.

And here’s why…

Yesterday I sent an email to my subscribers that didn’t make a lot of sense.

You see, I am a member of Calvin Woon’s & Jonathan Teng’s imbuzz software membership site and had spent time the day before testing out some of the software. (By the way, everything I tested worked.) Anyway, the day after I did the tests ” imbuzz riches”, a software-business-in-a-box package, launched and my inbox was filled with offers about it.

Now I’ve been called strange and weird many times because of the way my mind works. However I think you can see how my mind made the connection between the imbuzz software membership site and imbuzz riches. Both sites start with imbuzz and both were created by the same people.

Are you with me so far?

OK, here’s where the confusion comes in.

1 of the things you can do with the software from imbuzz software is give it away.

The 2nd thing you can do with the software is brand it with links to your site.

And the 3rd thing you can do with the software and where I confused my readers is that you can change the name of the software.

So I picked a software tool I thought would be useful, gave it a name that described what it did and sent an email about where to get the free download of my newly named tool. And because I happen to think the word buzz is pretty nifty I used it in the subject line and made a reference to imbuzz riches and how it had inspired me to select the gift.

Unfortunately the connections between buzz, imbuzz and my gift selection wasn’t intuitively obvious. (That’s another term I like.)

Thank goodness for people like Carole because she looks out for people like me. She’s a pretty smart lady and she let me know that what I’d written made no sense.

Made no sense?

Error! Error! Error! Can’t Compute! Must Reboot!

OK, it wasn’t quiet that bad and I didn’t have a meltdown. However it did make me realize that I’d made a BIG mistake.

The mistake was that I had assumed everyone knew what I knew.

Oops, I made another mistake and admitted I made a mistake.

Time to push the reset button again…

To Your Success,
Susan
