Steel on Wheels

Well I sent off a note to Dylan Ratigan's team to see if we can get some media attention on this cause!  I am working as I type on building myself a Real Estate Investment company where I will buy between $10 to 20 Million in RE over the next two years.

Short term I will be assigning contracts to get cash, which will then help me fix my debt and credit and overall let me crawl above ground financially so I can support me, my kids, and my business; and lead a normal (and much improved) life again.

Let's get this show on the road!!!!

Happy Weekend.

I really feel a sense that this movement can be ignited with a spark given the malaise called the economy and peoples' ongoing frustrations with the ever vanishing American Dream.

Look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs....

Keeping up with the Changs?

Imagine the impact on the psyche of CEOs who se a swarm of energized, creative, determined workers "at the gate" prepared to - metaphorically - beat it down to get in to help that poor soul wrestle innovation from the jaws of mediocrity, ingenuity from the hands of banality, profits and market share from the backside of the competition!

Are these "marches" truly anarchistic? Well on the surface they must feel that way - people only remember how you make them feel, as you may know. Truth be told and TSA be damned, we would march as a scrubbed force of workers, with no ankle bracelets in sight.

WE languish now as a country. Why?? Well as in all of life, becasue we CHOOSE ! Dare I say, choose success, full employment. Let the Innovation Harvest begin. Pick the cerebrum of this willing group!

The underemployed...

Here is an old link about the percentage of underemployed people.... What are the current stats... I need to find out!

Complaining about your job!??!

Shame on you for doing so in this dire economy.

I have coined the Tarzan Theory of Job Hunting - never let go of the first vine until you have your hand on the next one.

`

I read on Facebook of people's idyllic live yet they can still complain.... Gratitude - look it up!

Gotta crash. Working this weekend at Boston Medical Center. I am so grateful for a job so far below my capabilities.

Good night, America, for tomorrow we work!

I am sick and tired.....

OK, so here I go. Inspired by my very long period of "underemployment" and recessive radical streak, I feel passionately that we need to take the unemployed, under-employed and the ones who have just given up out of the comfort zone and into the lobbies of Corporate America and force our way back into the economy.

Corporations need to feel the shame of their sphincter management style in times of uncertainty. As a VP of Sales once told me as we ran through the annual expense cutting: "We don't have an expense problem, we have a sales problem!" Here Here!

If GM was selling a lot of cars, would we American's own the damn company???

Well this is just a start and I will get the word out on this cause soon!

Sleep well, America, for tomorrow we work!
