Special Business Secrets

It is only a theory, but not without reason. Too many new business plans start with a large loan when it’s not necessary. Markets and changing times have too many factors for anyone to be right all the time. Real estate flipping is a bit more predictable and depends more or less on how many people are in your address book. But new ventures.. What actually makes a concept successful?

Does the logo need to change? Will your “need” expire in the second year of a three year plan? Does the product need excessive engineering or is it best to shoot from the hip? Can YOU shoot from the hip at this target market or do you need to hire an expert? Which expert should you hire or how should you hone your own accuracy? How do you know who to hire for this industry?

War Worry Not

War has been brewing for quite some time. More recently news has picked up on it. But I’m not worried because I already saw it coming. Many thought I was worrying. Quite the opposite.

What’s the point in certification if it doesn’t stop such obtuse lies? Perhaps, certifying the lies was Satan’s intention all along.

Tradition tells us that there were two zodiacs. Yes, TWO! The first was held by Noah (the guy with the ark) and his ancestors. Supposedly, Noah believed that the stars told a story of a loving Creator God who would redeem humanity through a suffering messiah borne of a virgin.  · · · →
