Part of his journey reminds me of Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands. Edward is an artificial man who has scissor blades instead of hands. He has to learn how to use his Scissorhands while everyone is watching, judging, and critiquing his every move. An entrepreneur enters into an unknown world and must carve out a livelihood from an invention. There are regulations, patents, plain Jane investor expectations, industrial training skills to learn, the list goes on and on. Initially you feel artificial or what some describe as feeling like a fraud because you are to act like you know what is going on and know exactly what you are doing.

Dr. Berger has definitely found his footing. He discovered a Sciadonic Acid that has unique potent compounds that reduce inflammation. Out of his discoveries, he has a new product on the market for skin ailments called DELTA 5 Oil. You will hear what he has decided to do with investor feedback and gain some insights into internet marketing you haven’t heard broken down from a scientist’s perspective.

WeMentor Self-Leadership Activation Exercises

After listening, do the following three WeMentor Self-Leadership Exercises:

  1. Take this risk: Create a list of the risks you have taken this year. Add to each risk what you have learned. Dr. Alvin Berger did a bunch of presentations to investors this year. He worked through the rejection and took note of the feedback which led to his next step. He is getting distributors and agreements and then he will be ready to start more rounds of funding presentations. (If you would like to reduce wrinkles, try Dr. Berger’s DELTA-5 oil HERE.)
  2. Self-Compassion Exercise: Organize your activities to include breathing with focus. Notice your breath while you: shovel snow, cook a meal, put together next year’s projections, or during one focused activity where you tend to hold your breath, focus on breathing in and out to the count of three.
  3. Gratitude Challenge: Before you get to the appreciation part of this challenge, you may need to let go of something that no longer serves you. Appreciate some aspect of where we are as a country. Appreciate where you are in your life. Appreciate the lives of those who will not be with us, in physical form, next year.
