Hi and thanks for tuning back into 2nd Act TV.
Kristin Kaufman is with us on
our discussion on why it's never too
late to create the life you've always
wanted to live
Kristin thanks so much for staying over
and continuing our conversation. Love it
and I'm so delighted to be here. What I'd like to do on
this segment is to, let us get into your
book these the popular series Is This
Seat Taken?
Tell us, you know, how you
created that and then specifically your
current or your second book it's never
too late to find the right seat
yes so how these books came about the
second book came as a result of the many
people that I have worked with in my
Alignment, Inc. career, people that are you
would think have it all you know they're
senior-level executives they've made
plenty of money they have married in
some cases they've been divorced but
they aren't happy, they are out of alignment
they're looking for something else and
thus I wanted to write a book to help
them understand that it's never too late
to find that right seat even if you see
yourself at 55 65 70 years of age and
you're not where you want to be or you
don't have the life you want to have
it's not too late for you to create that
so people who are listening going yeah yeah right
I how could it possibly not be too late
what do you say
yeah I say well as long as you have
breath you have a purpose for being here
you know from the second time that I was
sick and I remember waking up in the
hospital and I was really really sick, I
had heart surgery, it was a two and a half hour
procedure
my parents thought that I wasn't going
to make it and I remember leaning over
and talking to my father, cause I was distraught
I was relatively young still I was
30 something and I said daddy I just
wish I knew what my purpose was and he
looked at me and he said well I'll tell
you something you have one otherwise
you'd be dead and it smacked me you know
whispers are two-by-fours you know, we
say listen to the whispers
well you're either going to have a
whisper or you're going to have a
two-by-four and the two-by-four, I have had three
two-by-fours it took me 3 two by four's
that's when I went
wow it's up to me and as long as we have
breath we could be our last breath and
still have a reason for being here and
it could be because of the person is
going to come into our hospital room
into our nursing home room whatever it's
going to take something away from
whatever it is that we have to offer
yeah that's this is so how do we have we
apply that into our lives is there you
have had some other points I believe the
book made ...
yeah there were four big points that
were very consistent with all the people
i wrote about and the people i wrote
about in this second book where everyone
from Ray Croft the founders McDonald's to
Harlin Sanders the founder of Kentucky
Fried Chicken to Grandma Moses which your
older readers will know who that is your
younger listeners may not ...
we don't have any younger listeners ...
I mention Grandma Moses to younger people and they're
looking like who in the heck is Grandma Moses?
But nonetheless the four things that
everyone that i wrote about famous and
non-famous people have were these, one
every single person that i wrote about
life turned on a dime due to an incidental
encounter, Ray Kroc got his first job
from a from a random encounter. Harlin
Sanders got his first job from someone
who picked him up as a hitchhiker so
everyone had an incidental encounter
that by the way was not incidental at
all. The second constant with the people
that I wrote about they all had a choice
they all believed that they had the
choice to choose a direction and now it
was not going to be easy
it in some cases it was very difficult
Kathryn Joosten was someone i wrote
about she of course is a very famous Emmy
your award-winning actress that was
famous and with desperate housewives she
left a marriage of 20-something years
with two children to become a disney
street performer at age 50 and then
went on to go to Los Angeles maybe
5-6 years later and went through that
all the troubles of a starving actress
and of course two years later was an
Emmy award-winning actress very late in
life, they all had a choice and they wanted it
badly enough to make that choice, so that
was a second commonality the incidental
encounters having the choice, they defined
success on their own terms
many people would have thought that in the
case of kathryn joosten that being
married to a promising physician and
having two healthy children and living
in the suburbs of chicago was success
but she was out of alignment
she wasn't happy it wasn't tied to her
greater purpose, so she made the decision
to leave and she defines success on her
own terms and then of course the last
principle is the one we've already
tested on which is it's never too late
and as long as you have breath we are
here for a reason you know I just
believe we're in earth school here and
we're here in earth school to learn from
one another to teach one another and to
serve and it's all tied up with this
wonderful glue called love
and as long as we're here we haven't
graduated we're still in school and so
we have a job to do that's either to learn or
to teach and to serve and obviously to
love our fellow human beings and i'm a
big believer in that. Kristin i mean you
speak my language i love that we are
going to link to your information in the
video description i'll make sure that we
have links to your books are available
on Amazon or where they are and the
first book em is almost out of print,
we're almost gone through the first edition
but they can still order it on my website
and i inscribed and mail them out to
people
perfect, perfect! Thank you so much
again for reaffirming our whole motto
here with it is never too late to be
person that you always wanted to be so
I'm going to hold you over for another
segment and then we'll talk about the
concept of a portfolio career which I
thought was really that was unique
anyway we'll see you in a minute
