Like everyone I am sick and tired of stupid people and stuff that does not work, things that do not work and ideas that do not work. I am also over arrogance and self absorbed people who can not see beyond their limitations or through the prison bars that confine them. Sure I still love them but do not ask me to spend time with people who are so trapped by ego that they can not will not or otherwise don't listen. "Put up or shut up" is my new credo...well, it is next to "Sic gorgiamos alos subjectatos nuc" - ask me what it means when you see me or comment below. It is very funny.

The last six months I thought it was important to let people know about things that I discovered and to talk about it until the yawns and scowls appeared. It is important to share ideas and discoveries but I need to come to the surface and share more of the "arts and leisure" parts of my world before my friends begin to think I have turned into an organic turnip! As you all know, and it is certainly no mystery that my success has come from those with whom I have formed friendships. Perhaps it works differently in other people's experience but where reality meets preferences I have chosen to work with people I like. I know it is not progressive or necessarily as profitable as some more upwardly mobile methods of accelerating in our culture, but it works for me. The point of this post is to make it work better while offering sharp skills in a comfortable and professional manner as I expand my ambitious business plan.
Diane Smith has offered to put me in her downline with Sunrider products. I never saw myself as a network marketing person, but I am sure my dad, rest his soul, would approve. His memory as the very first dean of direct mail marketing would certainly be honored if I set up my future security through the seeds of ideas that were, in part, his.
Monogram Systems while fledgling is still alive. Income from the sheer number of old clients remains stable through these tough times wants for more interesting and stable corporate clients. The problem is they have either outsourced or brought in full time IT people. Less connected consultants get squeezed a bit in hard times but with my amazing health, good connections and better metaphors the damn bow will break and the damn baby will fall, and down comes prosperity (hopefully) damn cradle and all.
It is sad watching people wobble and fail in this economy, scrambling for jobs with insulting pay. At the same time it is wonderful watching friends walk into businesses and take control to the environ itself to the amazement of all around them. Take my new friend Barbara. She sweeps in from out of town, and takes our finest hospital by storm. It is no secret that Scripps, while the finest, has had its share of problems over the years. I am not sure if Barbara is in a department that had problems but if it did rest assured this shiny sultry curvaceous Virginia beach pearl will work her magic.
Speaking of "magic." A lot of pseudo spiritualism is in the air once again. It's like 1986 all over again. Remember the Forum (formerly EST)? Werner Erhard? Giant seminars for people aspiring to break free from empty lives while focusing their yuppie dreams of easy-greedy money easy-greedy spiritual expansion and easy-greedy consumer consumption all masked behind expressions and imaginings of generosity and philanthropy? Well, it's back. And yet this time it is more refined and dignified. A 20th century discipline with a 21st century edge. It is interesting but certainly for this writer, is all old school and easily disturbs those who are not used to my positive pessimism, realism or what I enjoy calling doubt.
Have I become jaded? "Jaded" the word, at least in my mind is so very 1978. Still it comes to mind when there is no evidence to the contrary that there are bad people popular ideas and con men to be vanquished. If evil, give it what ever label you want, is present today should we be fighting it more vigilantly? Or should we simply go on as if nothing is actually happening in the world? There are schools of thought that actually support this concept. That's where my positive pessimism comes into the picture. Sure, it's important to provide for our families and friends but when it comes right down to it this earth is our home our mother and our only designated residence in the cosmos. We need to take better care of it. My fear is that politics and human ambition will destroy it before we get a chance to get back into harmony with it. Hence the jade green monster comes to the surface.
Still, I say there is nothing like properly directed prosperity to cure all ills. My big business plan includes ambitious projects that include holistic efforts that ride on the coat tails of "big Green" while staying faithful to mother earth, but without all the silly stereotypes associated with a detoxified vacuous earth-shoe for brains lifestyle. The key, at least for me, is to focus on the particulars and round up the support while avoiding business decisions that are not profitable or easily disrupted by competition. IT, at least for now, will provide but the tedium and burnout rate to which this profession hits older people will inevitably require me to move forward in such a way as to take advantage of higher profitability and lower stress interests. I love my work but I can not see myself taking classes in fiber optic nano technologies in 2020. It just ain't going to happen. Modernizing the moment means to take what we are about right now and what the world is offering in terms of ethical profitable holistic business and to energetically move it forward into the moment hopefully to the disbelief of those who might have subdued us. Isolating the magic concept and soliciting the powers the be (venture capital) is certainly daunting. Especially when I am convinced that my business model will perform famously while ensuring comfort, stress free, and highly effective management. I suppose identifying the differences in this model and comparing it to the conventional American model will be a great effort in the next post. Stick around there is more coming...
