I woke up three different times last night during my sleep--the last one starting my morning.  Unlike most nights, however, when i sleep like this--last night i woke up each time from essentially "the same dream".   I had the sense in each dream that this was the time to "buy into globanomics"--not tomorrow, or the next day, but now.

Then i woke up to the reality of things.  Globanomics is going nowhere very fast.  Surprisingly so from the understanding of its most avid supporter--which in this case is me.  

I will admit that i have never been a very good "marketer".  I have other good books that i have tried to sell and failed.  I have been there and done that and i woke up this morning feeling that Globanomics was going down the same path.  There is absolutely no sign that anyone of import has even heard of globanomics.

I thought last week--that my little jab at Joe Scarborough and David Ignatius might bring it some attention, but no, nada, nothing.  Bringing me to the conclusion that the reach of Talkmarkets is not great.  

And then when you think about all the effort that was expended in Talkmarkets as my one and only major "marketing vehicle".

That could make anyone get depressed.

Then it just so happened i went back and read the email i sent to M the other day (which i shared in an earlier blog).  I do this a lot.  One of the things that i discovered as a "writer" is that many times when i go back and read over something that i had previously written, i discover something that i did not know was there before.  Things like that make writing very mysterious--let me tell you.

Anyway, i was feeling rather discouraged this morning after waking up.  But then i went back and saw what i had told M only last week:

"Your soul is the big You (or Self), and the "you" that you should spend time thinking about whenever things start discouraging the smaller you."

Well now that gives me something to think about despite my poor marketing effort.  It's going to be hard, but that is the path that i intend to take this unnecessarily, non-globanomic, "cold" winter.
