Diamond Deliberations Take 3

As the two main parties spare, I find that we are pretty much in the middle with our attention being vied for, but the playing field is not level. The politicos already have feathered their bed and however they play it, they do not have the same health care we do. They already already have voted in a nice pension for themselves. I would seem that they just want to divide the spoils of what they already have a large piece.
Chuck, says that we should follow our dream and figure out how to monetize it. Robert says we need more income streams. All seem to indicate that we need to do something different than we do...That all takes effort and a bail out of our comfort zone.
Most of the guys I read feel that the Market has another plunge coming. This would behove us to find another income stream...in the next few weeks, I'll out line some thoughts on this. I hope to couple this with a few points of the seven years that someone went through following a bankruptcy.
I read today that there is a conspiracy against us and our achieving success...as Pogo discovered, "it is us"

May you be richly blessed and beloved

Diamond Deliberations take 2

A close relative encouraged me to listen to a talk that Randy Shraoeder gave in Calgary in the Spring. Randy had a concept of people's lives that he likened to a clock. When business was good and life was on the accendancy then one was said to be perceived as if he were at 12 o'clock. If somehow the equations changed then he could be heading toward 3o'clock business wise and credibility perception wise. Going on toward 6 o'clock represented loss of business and credibility. Restoration was in order to prevent the slipping to the 6o'clock. Randy's concept was that with few exceptions many of us are headed toward 3o'clock and some will hit 6o'clock.
If I understand his argument, one needs to find a better way to market what we do or find a new aspect of ourselves (hopefully something we're knowledgeable about and Passionate about)to sell.

With unemployment at a record high the above argument seems cogent. I heard an ad today which proposed that we drop off "gently used men's clothing" at the Men's Warehouse to be available to those that needed them to go to job interviews. When I avail myself of this service I picture myself as being highly motivated or hungry or both. Before that happens, I believe that posturing myself on or off line to market my own product or someone else's product would be much more palatable.
What to market? I met an attractive Tupperware sales lady the other day. She had taken proactive action and has created a nice niche for herself and family. Couldn't be passionate about something like that? Two points: direct sales is the most lucrative activity one can engage(I am speaking of legal activity) and the second point is one tends to be fond of those things he at which he becomes skillful.
Where could one get help? I am reminded of a recent poll that stated that 78% of those polled said they were Christians (hopefully most of the rest are Jewish) so I am not timid to relay Chuck Missler's admonition to seek Biblical help (you bet I have the reference)and you will, so armed be led in a positive direction.
I was reminded that when the economy turns around??...do I think so...maybe, but I remember what Billy Graham said, if God doesn't send judgement soon on California then he'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah

May you be blessed and Highly favored
