The cause of the causes

The outward results you get from your actions are a result of how you think.  What’s going on inside you that makes you manufacture the thoughts you do?

You can change your thoughts by learning new things, getting new information, hanging out with new people in new places, and making new decisions.  

It’s you, and entirely up to you.

When I do that, this happens…

Find the causes of the results you are getting – and stop doing things that don’t work.

What are you doing that’s not working?

Cut bait?

Not being a nice guy or girl is a criteria for getting rid of an employee.  

Being a nice guy or girl is not a sole criteria for keeping them. 

The Currency of Confidence

People won’t be anymore confident in you than they see you are in yourself; and your confidence comes from preparation.

Do your homework – before it’s due. 

Unfair advantage

That’s what you want to create for your company.

What advantage can you create that your competitors can’t answer?

Not Robber Barons; Robin Hoods

The idea that businesspeople are getting rich by unfairly exploiting the masses is false.  It’s those masses that would have no products to voluntarily buy, and no where to voluntarily work to earn money to buy them without businesses. Entrepreneurs and businesses large and small serve a critical and noble purpose in society.

Besides in a free market like ours, anyone can be a businessperson.

The fact is – we all need each other. 

Bit player

I am just one of millions of players in mankind’s struggle to make the most of his talents.  

I learn, I add, I pass it on.

What about you?

The Contender and Opponent

The game is played in your head, by you, with you.

You are the contender, and the opponent.

Less can be more

If your business is losing money, or not making as much as it should, break the business down into parts. What divisions, products, locations or employees are costing you money.  If you are making money in one area, and giving it away in another, then you can make more by doing less – just eliminate the areas that are costing you.

WHERE are you losing it?

This is not the place for you

Wherever you are is only a dot along a continuum of your growth and maturity as a human being.  Don’t stop blooming. Keep going, and keep growing.
