What we're doing here at Sowpub... What's the goal...?

...Make it one for my baby and one more for the road"

My experience shows that people are either going to do something or they are not.

While ideas are a dime a dozen, implementing an idea can make you rich.
Implementing, being the key. I find that too many people are searching for more ideas, when they should be about the businesses of DOING with the ideas they have.

Only through work/implementation, does an idea transform into a proven method.

I'm not a "reports" kind of guy. I'm more hands on.

Recently, I saw a women standing in front of a store holding a small sign stating that she had no gas and no food. She had a small gas container next to her.

I bought some fuel and groceries for her.

She sparked an idea.

I went over to Walmart, and bought a few of those insulated carrying cases Bud Riggs talked about in his headlight cleaning video. I'm going to buy the cleaning supplies and put some headlight cleaning kits together.

When I see a person who looks like they could use some help, I'm going to offer to teach them how to perform the service. I'll give them the kit. I'll even get them some jobs, to get them going.

Getting the jobs is the easy part. I could bury them in work!

My results for getting people to show up consistently, on time, ready to work and make some quick cash, is only so-so, at best. Tony Robbins gets people to pay him thousands of dollars, so that they can burn the hell out of their feet, walking across hot coals. I have a hard time getting them to show up, to put easy cash in their hands.

I don't get it.

Still, I'm not one to just give up on something and walk away. I like a challenge. If I get one person out of a hundred who benefits, that's ok. I'm content to put this out there into the universe and see what happens.

I'm not on forums much these days. It's a fantasy world, where dreamers dream about making a gazillion dollars, as they sit in front of a borrowed computer, in someone's basement. They have a sense of entitlement, expecting to be spoonfed ideas and viable methods, that others have worked hard to establish.

I'm cutting back on my online participation. Instead, I'll be spending more time out there in the real world, testing ideas, creating and working new programs, doing what I can, where I can, to make a difference.

I wish everyone here at Sowpub continued health and success.

May the power of the FUD be with you...always!
