Not sure if anyone ever reads my posts but need to say, if you do, thanks. About four months ago I became ill with an invasive pain in my side. After tons of tests, nothing seemed to be wrong. Not one to "milk" feeling less than healthy, I finally dismissed the pain.
By September 16, I was in emergency and surgery followed. I have stage 4 terminal cancer with 3 or so months left. Hmm, not sure how a lifetime of exercise, healthy living and eating morphed into this sentence. But it did.
If you have read some of my blogs, I wish you well toward your goals and prosperity.

THE WORLD IS FLAT
Of course it is! Everyone knows that except for this one numskull who keeps insisting it isn’t. He’s so insistent that it took him over a decade to raise enough capital to buy the ships he needed to prove it.
Contrary to popular myth, some researchers claim it wasn’t the sale of Queen Isabella’s jewels that financed Christopher Columbus. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella actually acted as lead investors to raise sufficient funds from wealthy investors for Columbus’ voyage in 1492.
When 99 and 9/10th percent of a society believes something, launching a new idea isn’t easy. In fact, it’s daunting but where would we be without Christopher’s tenacity?

WHO’S BEHIND THE YELLOW PAGE ADS?
There’s a person behind every Yellow Pages ad we see. Think about that. The ads don’t mysteriously appear one day. And I’m not talking about the designers who made the ads possible.
I’m talking about the real people behind the ad from the solo-entrepreneur to the corporate conglomerate. Someone somewhere in time had to imagine the idea and take action to turn that idea into reality. Ultimately, that someone is the person behind every Yellow Pages ad.
Want inspiration? Pick up that telephone book and just hold it. You’ll be holding dreams just like yours that came to life through determination. If they can do it so can you!

A SURE-FIRE WAY TO MISS AN OPPORTUNITY!
The first thing you need to do, if you really want to miss an opportunity, is install a computer telephone answering system. And to seal the death of any opportunity slipping through the cracks, make sure the system is state-of-the-art, like in: "Press 2 for our company directory."
Then it’s mandatory to program into the computer to ask the caller to spell the first 4 letters of the person’s last name that they want to reach and then ask for the first 4 letters of their first name. Now the caller will never know the tech programmed the computer telephone answering system to return the caller to the beginning.
After all, who does that caller think he is to spell the first 4 letters of a decision maker’s last and first names! Nothing personal, of course, an opportunity worth several hundred thousand dollars doesn’t mean too much to the big shot—right!
WRONG! It means a lot. The problem is in the details and giving up your decision making power to other employees who haven’t a clue what details are important is like shooting yourself in the foot!
Fielding incoming telephone calls can be exasperating of course. But life works on one simple idea, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the prince! And if you’re the executive short of time to manage your calls, hire a super-smart seasoned person who can.
Opportunity doesn't grow on trees. It grows with human contact.

e=mc2
e=mc2 is one of the most famous math formulas of all-time. But suppose it wasn’t famous. Suppose it was brand new and just starting to make its rounds in the math circles of this world. How would any outsider recognize its value? They wouldn’t.
Business is like that. If we don’t have a background to recognize a new idea someone is presenting, we miss its value and the “opportunity of choice.” It’s only an opportunity if we grasp its significance in the same way a mathematician recognizes the value of e=mc2. Once evaluated from experience, the opportunity becomes a choice to move on it—or not.
Experience is worth its weight in gold. Trust your business to those who have it! Then buy a copy of How to Develop a SMARTPLAN for Your Business from your favorite bookseller. It’s the first-ever interactive printed book.
