The APEman way to tomorrow.
 

ASSESS. It is what most are NOT doing during this crisis, although they have the time.

There may never be a better time to take a look at your life, where you have been, and most importantly, WHERE you want to go.

A lot of talk about the PIVOT, the turn, the new path. Yet many of us who have executed multiple streams of income have made a very small pivot, hardly noticeable, toward the stream that is working and away from those that are not.

IF you take the time to assess, and need to make changes, then next would be a PLAN. How and what do you have to do? I like time frame plans, but others like open ended goals, and some have spent several years getting closer.

What will you be doing NEXT YEAR, on May 1, 2021?

What, and why? Then HOW?

If you Assess, Plan then you must EXECUTE the plan.

Assess. Plan. Execute. That is the APEman way to the future you want.

And if you do Execute, be prepared to Adjust, Pivot, Enjoy the journey.

I think it is a great time to get started on your NEXT, but not your next Netflix binge, eh?

Shoot-out over the last chicken drumstick...
 

Hi Gordon,

That's an awesome (and wise) post!

Another related question...

What will things look like, this time next year?

• Will we be out of the pandemic, and back to normal?

• Will we be in the middle of a second wave... worse than the first one?

• Will the country, and the world, have descended into anarchy?

We already see some (not looking good) signs... Meat is starting to be in short supply...

Will people draw guns to get that last chicken drumstick?

I hope not...

Expect the worst, but hope for the best...

That's a good "survival" slogan!

Here's my prediction...

Sorry to be a bit of a "downer" - but I like to try to be a "realist"...

I don't think we'll be out of it in a year's time.

I think there will be a second wave...

The 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic had a second wave, worse than the first...

But... I don't think we'll descend into complete anarchy...

I believe in the positivity of the human spirit...!

Best wishes,

Dien

Security man shot for telling people they need to wear a mask in store.
 

The state of Michigan is already in anarchy. This is what the Radical Right have dreamt about for years, it is like Christmas morning for them. 50 years ago yesterday, was the May 4 massacre at Kent State University. Tanks rolled through the streets, martial law was ON.

We're just beginning. As I wrote a month ago, the warmer weather will be a turning point, thankfully, we are in a cool spell this week.

The cabin fever is bursting at the seems. By the end of this month, some of your most dire "realist" thoughts will be made manifest for all to see, and we may all question the positivity of the human spirit.

We've only just begun.

Your post is looking scarily accurate...
 

Hi Gordon,

I hate to say it, but - with rioting in Minnesota...

This post of yours from a few weeks ago is looking scarily accurate...
