The Rich are getting richer, while the Poor are getting Poorer – Money myth 17
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes Statistics tell us that the top fifth of income earners in the US in 1995 took home 48% of the income in the country, up from 43% in 1980. Over the same period, the bottom fifth of income earners brought home 3.7%, down from 4.3%. If we look at the numbers, the rich ‘gained’ 5% while the poor ‘lost’ .6% of the pie. …of course, in 1980 the pie ...

Internal Struggle
Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes Now that I am back on the plantation interviewing I have come across more bullshit that I couldn’t have talked about before this moment. In my field I have done about everything anyone could ever do and I have my own business. I have been part of International Trade since I was in college. So that means I have unloaded trailers, drove forklifts, been on the ports and picked ...

If I really try to become rich and fail, I’ll be crushed – Money myth 16
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes The unspoken part of this statement is that we’d rather never experience failure than expose ourselves to the remotest chance of success… and on it’s face, that sounds reasonable- until we poke a little bit at just what it is we’re afraid of- at which point it becomes manifest that what we’re afraid of is rooted firmly in unreality. If we try to learn how to ice skate and ...

No Time Left
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Since my company is slow I got me a full time CONTRACT gig on a plantation only 5 miles from my house. Now it’s paying some decent dough but I had to get used to sitting down in one spot for hours. (Damn my fvcking hip started hurting) I haven’t worked for anyone for so long now I forgot what it was like to punch a clock. Either way ...

STank – Podcast
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes After quite a few emails on the show the Shark Tank I decided to finally voice my opinion about it. I usually refrain from breaking down anyone’s angle when they talk about chips but since my people were starting to believe the devil… here you go. Also, check out that the same game is being played in the UK and Canada but is called the Dragon’s Den. It’s a ...

Money is a burden – Money Myth 15
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes If you think of money as a burden, you will find a way not to have that burden- our minds are like that. You’ll pass on business opportunities, you’ll stick with your current job because it’s safe, you’ll avoid modeling the behavior of successful people, you’ll resist learning how to make money easily. Instead, you’ll limit your experience with money to that of working for other people, working for ...

The Standard
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes No matter where you work in life and even for yourself there is a standard you have to maintain. Most of the time that standard is to always look like you’re conducting business when you’re conducting business. I often have people ask me where’s my cards when I’m out having a drink but truth be told I left all of that shit in my suit coat or dress shirt. ...

Casual Friday
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes It’s a trap and that’s pretty much sums it up. If you were running a business and you wanted to see what your potential manager looked like on the daily you would set up a scenario to see if he’s a grown up or part of the Wu! Every friday you see a lot of people dressing out of pocket pretty much celebrating their day to wear low class ...

No Apologies
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes If I have my opinion I have to expect and accept that you’ll have yours. The problem is with a lot of people is they aren’t used to having arguments and they take it personal. I figure I got here with my angle and with my wits I sure as hell am not about to follow anyone but I’ll listen. I’m used to arguing for my point to the ...
