The Poet’s Disease

I’ve been reading poetry lately and am distressed by how disconnected the poets I’m reading seem to be. (I originally wrote the word ‘are’ as opposed to ‘seem to be,’ because, frankly, I know they are, that they don’t just seem to be.  The problem I think is that you probably don’t know that they are, as opposed to seem to be, and, possibly don’t even know or care that they seem...

A Practical, A Particle, A Bloglet – Do You Think Before You Write?

It is thought that writers think through what they are about to write, before they write it, or perhaps better said, in order to write it.  That there is a moving logic to the practice of writing, or should be. And I am sure some writers do. But, for the life of me, I have never been able to do that very well. And the reason I suppose I haven’t (and why, therefore - and perhaps - my writing...

The Action of Energy

There are three forms energy takes as it moves through our lives.  The first is Prime Energy.  It has a direction outside of us from inside of us.  The second is Secondary Energy.  It has a direction inside of us from outside of us.  The third is Trinary Energy.  It has a direction around us, but never inside of us.  It is also called  Passive Energy.  Watch the action of energy as it moves...

Deficient?  Yes, absolutely deficient.  Which means a big hole growing even bigger,...

A Thought About a Thought to Make a Point

One of the ongoing arguments that have been made for the past 33 years to my E-Myth message is that systems deaden the imagination.  That systems kill entrepreneurial creativity.  That systems -- a script, a piece of software, whatever -- kill the innovation that is so critical to the development of an extraordinary company. Of course, this argument is always made by someone who either has never...

The Book, The Brand, The Business | Working On It™

Please don’t misunderstand me; I am not negative about small business. To the contrary.  I have worked with more small businesses over the past fifty years of my life than anyone I know.  Tens of thousands of them.  My problem is that I am simply shocked again and again at how little most small business owners seem to understand what it truly takes to invent, design, build, grow and maintain...

6 Fundamental Truths About Your Business

There is a fundamental belief that there is no absolute truth about business.  But there is. The first absolute truth about business is that they are all broken.  They don’t work perfectly.  Nor do you.  That is absolutely true, but only the first of the absolutes.
