Turn Around . . .
A story . . .
Did you know San Francisco’s most iconic landmark is also the world’s #1 suicide destination?
And did you know bridge construction workers volunteer to save jumpers from ending it all?
I was unaware of these heroes, at least until I learned about Hopper’s Hands.
Ken Hopper, 17 year Golden Gate Bridge iron worker noticed how waterfront joggers have a ritual of touching the chain link fence at the dead-end of the sidewalk next to Fort Point.
So he had the bridge’s sign painter make a sign with two hand prints on it.
And another sign with two dog paws, because one woman had her dog touch the fence.
Local runners know you’re supposed to run to Hopper’s Hands, high five the hands, and turn around to run back to the city.
The pair of hands at the base of the bridge, are meant to give hope to all who encounter them.
They are there to remind us of Hopper’s plea:
“Turn Around”
The story behind the hands has added new meaning to my trip to San Francisco.
My family did every imaginable tourist thing a family could do in this great city.
Like . . .
Ride the Hyde and Powell cable car.
Ate clam chowder on Fisherman’s Wharf.
Sampled food at the renowned Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
Enjoyed ice cream at Humphry Slocombe at 2790 Harrison St.
Marveled at the City skyline from Twin Peaks
And the rich forest at Muir Woods.
Ate Spare Ribs at the San Francisco landmark, Tommy’s Joint
Drove Lombard Street
Climbed stairs to Coit Tower
Lunch at “Fish” in Sausalito
Candle Stick Park
The streets of Height Ashbury
China Town
The World Famous Bush Man
Chocolate at Ghirardelli Square
The painted ladies atop Alamo Square
From Cow Palace
To Capitola
Santa Cruz
And back.
To the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge.
And I’ll cherish all of these wonderful memories with my family.
But it’s the story of Hopper’s Hands that I’ll remember the most.
PS. Adversity is in most cases is only temporary.
You need a symbol to remember when times get so hard that you want to give up.
E-mail michael@michaelsenoff.com and in the subject line type out in ALL CAPS . . .
HOPPER’S HANDS and I’ll send you the photo.
Print it out and put it somewhere where you’ll see it every day.
To remind you that you can always “Turn Around”.

Words of Inspiration From Sylvia Bigs . . .

Subject: Re: HMA marketing consultant business system
Hello Michael,
I’m so excited about the HMA system since joining that I just have to share my recent experience with someone.
I just got a way of funding my HMA course.
I have been introducing myself to everyone I come across as a marketing consultant.
I give my pitches to anyone who cares to listen and my number (yet to receive my complimentary cards).
Got a call from someone who had been referred, stating that they wanted me to help market their business.
Its a salon business, been in operation for 5 years and have their own brand products (hair shampoos, conditioner etc).
The salon is doing great, they have a huge customer list converting @ 80%.
But they are totally clueless about their own hidden marketing assets.
My appointment was today.
I went through the whole TOA (The Opportunity Analysis) word for word.
I got them really excited but they said they didn’t have the money for my service.
They offered to pay me on a monthly basis of £250 monthly for the first project, and get £250 vouchers on services in their salon.
I was looking for a way to fund my course as well as gain experience whilst studying.
They bought right into the TOA.
Not bad for girl who didn’t know what direction to take in life after graduating and not being able to find a graduate job in my field that would give me flexibility.
I can’t thank you enough for coming up with this system.
Now, I can work from home without having to miss watching my child grow.
I am completely hooked on the materials I have so far and taking action by getting myself out there. (created a USP for myself).
Kind Regards
Sylvia

So I write back to Sylvia and said . . . .
Sylvia, thanks so much for your e-mail.
This is just the start for you.
You made it happen,
You made your own luck.
You are now in and have an opportunity with this salon.
You never know where this journey will take you.
It’s just the start.
I am proud of you!
When you get your gift certs for the salon, make sure that they agree that there are transferable and you should get them in increments of $50.
Make sure there is no expiration date and that they are good for any of the services including tax.
This way you can sell them if you don’t want to use them.
On the next project I would ask for more money for your work.
I know it’s just the first one and as you get more confident, you will start to ask for more money.
Great job and thanks for sharing your story with me.
Here’s your chance to call your own shots
There’s a saying we have here at (HMA) Hidden Marketing Assets . .
“Your first paying client will be your hardest.”
E-mail senoff.michael@gmail.com and in all CAPS type out . . .
SEND DETAILS
And I’ll send you 50 stories about HMA consultant’s who were willing to fail.
Read their stories because each will give you a new way of looking at the consulting business through the eyes of a consultant who’s already done it.
I am sharing these stories with you because I want you to know that you can do this if you try.
