Broom or a pencil?

In the past, jobs were about muscles, now they’re about brains, but in the future they’ll be about the heart.

Minouche Shafik, director, London School of Economics

i used to tell our son, now 19, that his future will revolve around which mindset he uses – a broom or a pencil?

One uses your body as your paycheck maker, the other uses your brain.

Manual labor or office job.

What Minouche is proposing is a radical third option.Thank you COVID-19 and Global Warming.

Succeed financially, please

Small business owner jeff noel
Small businesses are a fabric of every society. It feeds our economy and it feeds our families.

As a business owner, and an unemployed business owner at that, it’s easy to see why the Country needs to succeed financially.

Business success drives food on our tables, gas in our tanks, rent getting paid, insurance and medicine being purchased, utilities being paid, and so on.

At the most fundamental level, success for business owners means success for employees, and success for employees means success for families.

To think that the stock market doing well is somehow evil is to say that families doing well is evil.

How can either conversation not be inextricably linked to the other?

Lots of talk as if business success is the wrong focus.

Business success begets family success.

WTF

WTF – What The Future?

What the future holds is unprecedented.

Except for the fact that we’ve been here before.

Same channel, different show.

Surprise, it’s a recession?

Surprise, it’s a recession?

With Covid19 just beginning to spread in America, we are in for a bumpy ride.

Lots of panic and business closures along with the massive ripple effects of business closures.

This is a perfect example of why it’s important to have a rainy day fund for motivation (and cash).

Knowing is a trap

Mater and jeff noel
Mater asked for his left fender to be scratched.

Magic happens by over-focusing on what is generally under-focused on or ignored. 

Having never purchased a new car, it’s easier to justify flying to Maryland to watch a special movie with our son.

Knowing is a trap.

Say what?

To know is to do. 

To know and not do is to not yet know.

Knowing is a trap.

Doing is freedom.
