Happiness vs. Power

Power is a mix of Knowledge and Network. Many in leadership positions display on to others, that sense of entitlement, which says; pass a few tests, build trust, produce work, be graded by your peers and be rewarded with appointments, is all there is to attain Happiness. Leading a team that achieves its preset mission, being a team member that produces its goals and objectives, being a support specialist or a routine service performer, will provide income and maybe savings and investments, but will never deliver Happiness. Obviously, Power, over material and human resources, is required in each role. However, only from giving freely of yourself, brings true Happiness.

A Perfect World

Why Not? What would it take? Where do we START? #SYNERGIES.

In this perfect and preferred world, we are all our neighbor’s keeper. #Security is to preserve life, limb and property, as if it is our own. Protecting the weak from the strong, the many from a few. Defending against natural and man-made disasters, against biological and health threats, against misinformation and intrusions, and of course, against Human Greed and Ego. Electing and selecting a few persons from the bowels of society, where they reside and serve their community, to craft laws, rules and regulations. And others, independent thinkers, highly qualified and experienced professionals to implement, effectively and efficiently and adjudicate fairly. A Perfect World of Moral Leaders.

Understand Banking

Worldwide, the mystic of banking must be exposed. Banks are in business to earn profits, much like any other entity, in the service sector. People, initial contributors or shareholders, pool their savings, develop financial products, fees and charges, and sell mainly loans at a competitive interest rate. Such financial products are designed to be fully or over secured, by fixed marketable Assets, easily cashed in to liquidate outstanding debts. Hence Entrepreneurs must firstly learn, such banks are not interested in an idea or startup business and more so, a business must never be started with loans, startups require risks capital, and banks are not where equity investments are made.

Data vs. Land

The investment value of Land is currently being replaced by Data Investments. Lands, the subject of many wars out of world history books is losing its glitter, forth over by Monarchs and Religious leaders, for its surface farming and mining values. Such wars and other criminal activities created a lot of affluent, wealthy, rich people and having been passed on legally, via inheritance, generated prosperous family estates. Data is on a very similar track, raw data gathered and stored is being targeted and forth over by many, so call ‘Black Hackers’. Such Cyber Crimes, unabated, will produce some wealth on the same scale as past Land grabbers, but the future gains and prosperity will come from very legal Data Analysis Monetization.

Future Development

Best is a moving target. Whether addressing team building or the essential #SYNERGIES; #Security, #Health, #Education, #Infrastructure #EconomicDrivers, which powers life, but Better is good enough for process and progress. The earnings, from productive and profitable, efficient and effective Sectors and Industries, from Economic Drivers must be essential to fund all other expenditure. The facilities, shelter (living, working and relaxing spaces), communication and transportation, must be suited to sustain and grow productivity. The people, from birth to death, at their basic learning time, at their productive period and at their reflective stages of life, must be protected, fit and knowledgeable. All together to achieve Future Development.

Better vs. Best

I write because everybody wants to teach or give unsolicited advice. Advice and opinions on every topic under the sun, before knowing the abilities and capabilities of their audience. Assuming that, only they have answers and solutions and that, you should listen without interruptions. A highly skilled and experienced aircraft pilot must sit quietly as a highly enthusiastic hobbyist explains the cause of a recent plane crash. The discussion may progress much better if questions are asked about the listener and in turn, interchange talking and listening. Much better, if decency and respect are employed and all parties engage in learning rather than teaching.

Raising Cash

Yes, Cash moves Entrepreneurial Ideas into Industry. After significant Research and Development, inputs of time, effort and very valuable sweat equity, a dynamic strategic plan has been structured. This highly confidential strategic plan will allow, a dated Prospectus to Investors and a Business Plan for Lenders, to be extracted and offered, hence, selling a percentage of the idea to individual or group investors, who expect to earn a superior Return on Investment. Such Equity Investors will calculate the risk of earning, as compared to losing their money. The Lender, however, will demand some tradable fixed form of tangible asset to hold as financial security.

Entrepreneurial Support

Entrepreneurial Ideas will grow the economy, create opportunities and increase jobs. Hence, pointing out growth sectors and industries, with unique competitive advantages, for the nation’s targeted focus development, shows the need for Nation Building EDUCATION. This Economic Expansion can only be driven by persons encouraged and respected, with lessons to produce and strengthen a feasible Strategic Plan. A strategic plan, from which a Prospectus to Equity Investors and a Business Plan to Debt Lenders, can be extracted. It is such a dynamic detail strategic plan which pushes the entrepreneur to achieve the mission day in and day out towards the successful attainment of their vision.

The Me, Me, Me Economy

Selfishness has no place in Success. The Success of any Economic Driver is based upon demand and supply. Demand created by people; consumers, users, customers, retailers and resellers. Supply is also generated by people; extractors of raw materials, transporters, manufacturers and processors of inputs. This supply and demand rules across all basic living components. Infrastructure demands architectural, engineering, designs, building materials and construction skills to Supply housing, roads, vehicles, industrial, commercial and entertainment spaces. Similarly, Security, Health and Education all need people, groups and teams, horizontally and vertically integrated, to provide and produce any measure of success. The selfish actor can only cause breakdowns.

Happiness vs. Wealth

Sometimes, for a wider audience, a pure academic debate needs to be flavoured with some common sense, to move from ideas to implementation. Whether a nation or society is supported by one large economic driver or many smaller revenue sources, is not the core issue. The mission must be to create and preserve A Happy Society which will require consensus between decent people. The widening wealth gap presences the greatest risk to human peaceful development and existence and while the debate continues, the status co persists and nothing new and innovative is getting done to slow or stop or reverse this devastating gap.
