The Cowbell Principle: Career Advice On How
To Get Your Dream Job And Make More Money
The Cowbell Principle is named after a humorous skit shown many years ago on the American comedy show Saturday Night Live. A group of musicians playing regular instruments is making a recording. To their surprise, the producer keeps repeating that he wants "More cowbell!" Wikipedia has more details.
What Is The Cowbell Principle? Just like
Will Ferrell's goofy cowbell player in the Saturday Night Live sketch
"More Cowbell," you already possess a unique value that people have a
fever for - your cowbell. For individuals, a cowbell is a talent or gift. For
businesses, it's a permanent competitive advantage. The key to happiness and
success is knowing who you are and how you can make other people happy. A
cowbell gives your value to people and they love you for it.
¡§More Cowbell¡¨
is one of the most popular Saturday Night Live sketches of all time. It has
permeated our culture. It¡¦s a meme. Most people have heard of it. If you
haven¡¦t, hang on a second ¡X we¡¦ll give you the link to the video and we¡¦ll
go through the script momentarily. It¡¦s actually okay that you have not heard
of it, and we don¡¦t mean to be offensive when we say... it¡¦s not your fault.
You are most likely too old or too young to have been exposed to the really
good things that life has to offer. The strategies in this book will work for
anyone whether they have seen the sketch or not. So relax in your death bed,
cancel your sponge bath, or cut your middle school math class and get ready to
be free of your ignorance.
¡§More
Cowbell¡¨ is hilarious. And as Brian accidentally discovered, it provides a
profound analogy for self-discovery, self-improvement, mentoring, and teamwork.
It offers clues about your life's purpose and how to be successful in life.
Garrison¡¦s study of the sketch revealed parallels with top performers from
almost every industry. He agreed with Brian that knowing what you love, knowing
who values it, and handling people and situations while enjoying the moment
could make anyone much more successful. They also agreed it would take a super-long
sentence to convey that point.
