Summer Changes

Image
  Our summer is almost over,  What did we learn during all of our downtime?   I will summarize all of my observations and share my plans on what I will implement when I return to my office.  I discovered/ learned 6 items on my beech lounging, morning walks and social media tolling that I’ll share.  Hope they help.  My first and easiest change was my eye glasses.  Many of my friend asked it was trying to look like Elton.  I wasn’t…. The next three changes were business related. The changes will be voted on by my colleagues.  Steve Jobs of solving client problems the client didn’t know they had will be our guiding light.  I tried to change a few items. The obvious item what I changed was my eye  glasses.  The other areas were business related and I wanted wanted to be in control of my changes. The first change s our business’s model.  It has taken years to realize that I can’t beat thr market index.  Growing up on Wall Street this change was difficult.   Alpha is difficult to achieve an

Stop Judging

Image
I have known that I have MS for over four years.  My doctors believe I have had MS for over twenty years.  Initially, When I received this diagnosis  I was very opinionated when I saw disable people. I assumed the worst. As a currently disabled person I can educate and warn you regarding things you shouldn’t say to me or disabled people..  This blog will educate on my disability. The places it manifests itself and how you can react and support me and other disabled people. The three items are: 1.) Needing a walker 2.) Government disability  3.) Falling MS causes me to loose my balance and fall.  The walker prevents this reality  I look at walkers as being as sign of old age,  I was incorrect and a good walker is an aid!  With a walker I fall less often.  I might look old, but I am OLD! Our government provides support to the millions of MS patients in the US.  Support is through Social Security and must be approved.  I am approved. The service can be cancelled if i get a full time job.

Smartest Person In the Office

  The most knowledgeable and powerful person in our office is my assistant. The January 6 testimony has proven this reality. Another important role we need to adjust the compensation and our interactions.  Our favorite podcasts can be listened to on a long commute back to the office.

Choosing a Partner

Image
Choosing a good partner is the most important decision we make in business and personally. We need to evaluate how this choice can make us better. The marriage choice in the US isn’t working. Credibility is important. How we develop and loose credibility is something we need tto understand. The way we calmly speak and our temper can have an impact.  One bad experience I had when building a company was not trademarking our brand name. Our name was unique and powerful. Unfortunately another firm agreed.  Happy 4th!!!

Analysis Paralysis

Image
We suffer in the Information Age. Our problem is analysis paralysis. Data and computers can not replace human interaction. Our brain and heart still win.  We need our system of public service. Unfortunately we underpay most of the professionals who provide this important task.  We have unreasonable expectations not to accept laws. Nothing is perfect but we need to accept this reality. Life is not perfect.  We believe that we can do things better. The advertisements on TV and social media encourage us to try.
