I’ve recently made a new friend online. Ms. Kristen Lamb is an accomplished author, lecturer and tutor (and she’s happily married, so fuggedaboutit). I was initially drawn to her with the impending publication of my newest book, a non-fiction about eliminating erectile dysfunction (more info at bottom of this post).
Kristen writes a powerful blog http://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/ for writers, both those that are aspiring as well as those that are perspiring. I’ve read her work and benefited significantly.
In her June 10th blog post –What Are the Odds...Really? Taking a Hard Look at Success – she writes about the 5% rule in reference to the probability of success by wannabe authors.
If you have ever bragged, perhaps to a woman at a bar, or to friends at a cocktail party, “I’ve got a great idea for a story. I’m going to write a book ...,” then you’re part of the 100%. Almost every literate person has thought, fantasized, or daydreamed about being a successful author. The TV show Castle has probably added considerably to this fantasy.
If you’ve taken the first step, making the decision to pursue writing, and taken in seriously, then you fall into the 5%, just 1 out of 20 who are motivated to follow through on the brag. But that’s just the first step. There are 7 additional rungs of the ladder, and Ms. Lamb states that statistics show at each step 95% drop out and just 5% proceed over the subsequent hurdle.
The blog post is a fascinating read. Additionally if you’re considering writing a book, either fiction or non-fiction, you should read her work, We Are Not Alone available at http://whodareswinspublishing.com/WANA.html.
Now what does this have to do with Erectile Dysfunction?
Same 5% rule. Of the men who feel they have diminished function – or have ultimately lost all useful function – just 1 out of 20 actually do something about it... besides whine that is.
Most men that can afford the boner-pills just plunk down their cash and take the easy way out. But the drugs don’t work all of the time. And as you get older you won’t be able to take those pills because they will interfere with medications you’re taking for other maladies of age. The bottom line is that they do nothing to address the root cause of your ED, and their retinue of side effects only serve to age you even more.
Like writing a book, there are a series of hurdles to jump. First, eliminate the possibility of some more dangerous medical condition that also causes loss of function – get a checkup. Then try to identify the root cause of your ED. Then address that cause. Then keep up doing what you must to maintain erectile function. It is likely that only 5% of you will proceed with each step.
Will you be one of those? Or are you going to just give up?
In a discussion group at FrankTalk.org, the web site of a not-for-profit group designed to create an open forum for ED sufferers, one member stated in a discussion group – I paraphrase – that he decided to have his prostate surgically removed after a diagnosis of cancer as the easiest way out, even though he knew that it would most likely lead to permanent ED. In retrospect, he said, “I didn’t realize what I was giving up.” He desperately missed having real sex.
Don’t give up. Don’t take the easy way out. BE the 5%. Write the book. Eliminate your erectile dysfunction. Accomplish any else you wish for the remainder of a long and healthy life. Just freakin' do it!
HARD! Maintaining Potency, Eliminating Erectile Dysfunction, and Enjoying Healthy Sex for Life is not just for those with ED, but for all men who want to keep functioning throughout their life. A concise and powerful men’s health guide, HARD! provides a protocol for how to do everything right.
