I am the most unbalanced person you are ever going to 'meet'. I just work. After 8 months I still have nothing to show for this - NO income yet.

I never visit anyone, nor does anyone every visit me - like friends.

I appreciate your contribution.

Leveraged outsourcing is more about leveraging the efforts of others on a larger scale than just being the center of your own life.

Leveraged outsourcing is what the Internet is about, for example: affiliates are your outsourced sales force.

Much more benefits can be obtained when everyone that is part of a larger design are all in balance.

They are in balance with themselves as well as in balance with the larger overall group solution.

For example, 10 companies working together, each providing one tenth of the overall solution. Each company focus only on what it does best.

This leads to leveraged time and effort for everyone involved. The whole group works like a well-balanced engine.

Unfortunately people are just not interested in the bigger picture and having a longer term visionary view of what role they can play in a larger, global design.

They focus on what they need to do for the next hour. So, even if I am a dreaming visionary, I must kill all that and be painfully shortsighted and practical.

If several CEOs of larger companies are not interested in vision, planning, outsourcing to leveraged time and efforts, I must become what I am not - short-sighted, narrow-minded, interested in only the very short term, focus on ONE topic, ignore the bigger picture.

I have therefore changed the focus of my articles to be more practical.

I am totally out of balance with myself in trying to be what I am not.

The world does not want what I have to offer, the world wants what it wants. I must give in.

I must stop wasting my time posting on this board - maybe in one years time I will have one client that are willing to pay to have me help them with their longer term, global vision.

You are the only person that read everthing on my website. Everyone else only read the first 2 pages then leave, not even subscribing to the newsletter, not even reading one article.

I have no money, I want no money - all I want is one person in one company that listens, understands and acts based on what I have to offer built on my decades of experience - and I can not even get that!

Alwyn, I've noticed about you that sometimes you're a little quick to jump to conclusions. You seem to be very decisive, but these decisions are not well thought out before they are made. This seems a bit ironic. Your website is about leverage. Does this not require some study of concepts? Incubation? Planning and analyzing strategies? When you present these ideas to someone, do they expect that the results will be immediate or will it take some time?

A good example of how you jump to conclusions can be viewed on my discussion forum where you posted a message to Todd where your post suggests that he find an answer "on a more technical forum." I had not even had a chance to respond to his question.

Now this part about wasting your time...

Gordon gave me advice a few years ago about how to leverage myself. I followed his advice. I still do. It wasn't a "cut and dried" solution. It was an idea. A concept. And it was left up to me whether I LISTENED to it and how I APPLIED it to my business. Last week I grossed over $6000 in sales. Granted, I may not do this every week, but the advice I received is fundamental to the success of my business.

Now I've pointed out what I perceive to be a problem which may be a reflection as to why you're not getting any business. It is very possible that I could be wrong. But you can do some "leg work" and find out. Gather some of the ideas you have been hearing and write them down. Assume for the "sake of argument" that you make decisions TOO quickly. Call together some of your closest business partners and associates and present these ideas to them in a casual setting. Ask if anyone of them have some ideas about how you could implement these strategies into your business to help you start generating some income.

Learn how to listen....

Thanks Steve.... That's great advice....

Much of the information we may receive is "raw material".... It only becomes useful once we process and apply it....

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Steve....
