SOWPub Small Business Forums - Sniffing the glue from the many dead horses I have beaten over the years. I am a one

trick pony.

I AM a one trick pony.

Go back 20 years in this archive, go back 30 years to the earliest days of the Internet, go back 40 to the usegroups and bulletin boards and you will see I have been very consistent in my "voice".

And it goes like this:

Start where you are at, with what you have, then PLAN on where you want to go and then execute action toward it and adjust your action as you continue solving your problems in the directions of your goal. This sums up my thinking, philosophy and way of life, although I added this to it:

Fly low and collect the dough, after experiencing some unwanted attention when trying to reach a more "guru esque" lifestyle, it wasn't/isn't for me.

And pert near everything I have done, including over 100 reports, folios, white papers, blog posts, and thousands of forum/bbs posts...has reflected and reinforced that philosophy.
In dealing with so many people over the years in so many different ways, I concluded (dispute if you want) that...

MOST people don't even know what they want or WHY they want it and therefore, are almost certainly to be seen on the treadwheel of their own creations.

I offered a challenge to job seekers at one time, if I can't find your ideal job in 90 days, you pay me nothing. And I never once did not find it, BECAUSE most couldn't even tell me what the ideal job was...and if they did, I knew I could bank on that 495 dollars. It was mine to keep.

No one here, or anyone who has been around my work for any length of time would be surprised with my focus on PLANNING.

Reach the goal, repeat. Plan. Execute. Adjust.

I may beat a dead horse into glue, but then, I am just a PEA brain, eh?
