#19 – create

19.      Try to build something with your hands — and  understand # 9 & 14a     Patience and Planning, actually work …    for complete disclosure  …   I would plan first, hire the right person second and then put myself to work …  for them.


For the love of Old Men –

I have worked for, with and against the old guard.  They were all  ww2 era people who had all been shaped by the great depression, had been married to only one spouse, were tough on their children and were disciplined to a fault – This is the most recent of them. By far, it may be the most…


#13 – Be a

13-       Be a Catalyst whenever possible.      If you can’t –  get out of the way & help someone who is.   We all have our rolls in life.   Just do it well.

# 300 – freedom comes from understanding control

As relevant as it has always been … – I believe that no one quite understands that freedom of choice comes from control first, then money second –   control rules work, play, income, priorities ….  control.  Have discipline.
