It was decades ago when I came to realize that the world was made up of two fundamental types of people: the givers and the takers. No matter what economic class you are in, you can find these two groups. Although it seems there is an imbalance of takers, givers have overcome the same obstacles,… Continue reading Entitlement versus Gratitude

$24 Trillion? I was almost wrong!
On Friday, September 26th, 2008, I post a blog stating that the bailout could reach $25 Trillion. The last projected numbers place the commitment at roughly $24 Trillion, or roughly $80,000 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32010841/ns/business-us_business If the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) decides to force the issue of… Continue reading $24 Trillion?

The Issue of the $5,000,000,000,000 Sovereign Debt Requirement
I have strongly recommended that individuals pay off debt in order to improve their sleep cycle. Individuals ultimately make up a nation. In the past, different nations were in different stages of development somewhat independent of the rest of the world. This is no longer true. With telecommunications reaching every nook and cranny around the… Continue reading The Issue of the $5,000,000,000,000 Sovereign Debt Requirement

We do things because of Our Father; we do things for our sons. 1 Corinthians 4:15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you, imitate me. In Christian circles the… Continue reading All Men are Sons, but only some Men are Fathers
Thou Shalt Not Covet
The tenth and final Commandment given to the children of Israel by our Lord God Almighty was “Thou shalt not covet”. Exodus 20:17 states “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is]… Continue reading Thou Shalt Not Covet
Management By Perception
In the 1970’s, Peter Drucker, “The Father of Business”, promoted Management By Objective (MBO). Current global leadership is attempting to manage by perception (MBP). Government statistics are no longer accurate and properly accounting for money growth, unemployment numbers, and gross domestic product. Later this year, we may see a temporary bounce in the economy which… Continue reading Management By Perception
Business Unfriendly Climate
Interference in the economy by the current administration is causing businesses to wonder how they can operate a profitable operation. A cap & trade tax of $2 trillion ultimately will be passed on to the consumer. The average work week is 33 hours in the U.S., the lowest since 1958. The next wave of foreclosures… Continue reading Business Unfriendly Climate
