Greetings & Salutations:

In the beginning (1776), our forefathers founded this "Republic" to establish a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. t Over the past 200 years this form of government has evolved to the point that "we, the people" are now governed by "they," the government; a government of the government, for the government, and by the government.

This change was brought about by their slow but steady creation of the "professional" government.  A government of paid, professional, politicians.

These "professional" politicians are just that, nothing more.  They know little, or nothing, of the world beyond their Bureaus, Commissions, Committees, and other group gatherings. t They pass laws in the over zealous attempt to protect their own "right to govern," with no concern to the consequences on the people who have elected them to their beloved offices.

Most, if not all, of the conservative writers and speakers have commented on this obvious problem, yet, none have offered a logical solution.

The only solution heard comes from the ultra-radical element who suggests that we line-up all of the politicians, against the wall, and make them dead.  Indeed a solution, however, two "wrongs" do not yet make a "right."

THE REAL SOLUTION is just as simple t by enacting a Constitutional Amendment forbidding any person, or persons, from serving more than "One Term" in any public office t our government would, once again, (withing three terms), be of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Switzerland has such a law and has been a leading internatioal force for hundreds of years.

This solution, although simple, meets with only one currently insurmountable obstacle:

How do we get the "professional" politicians to vote themselves out of a job?


Now, let's do some ...

David Oladokun wanted to know ...

"I have a question for you regarding equipment and machinery.  I read one of your report about machinery and equipment, so I went to some of the compay in my area to practice what I just read and one of them gave me a list of used equipments and machinerys which I think any construction company could put to use. -- My question now are:  1) Can I market the whole list to each constrution company I contacted or market individual item on the list to each at a time.  (The report said to market one item at a time) But I am confused since all the items on the list are contruction equipment and you never know which they might need. -- 2) What does "all item offered subject to prior sale" means? -- 3) What is the best way to locate small manufacturers in any given area?"

David ...

It always best to start with just one item you think they might need.  Then, introduce the others.

"Subject to Prior Sale" means the item/s may be already sold when you offer  to buy them.

Use your local telephone book yellow pages as your first resource.

Jan Holloway tells me ...

"Six months ago I left everything  in order to escape from an abusive marriage.  I am working hard to get my life  back. -- Toward that end, I have written an 85-page book for the uninitiated about the hidden signs of the abuse agenda.  It's all meat, no fat. -- People are talking about the subject of domestic abuse, but not much is being said about prevention.  This is a HUGE issue  involving millions of people and tens of billions of dollars annually."


Whether  or not  you think you need  it, you need to read this book.

Thoughts For The Month!

 

"In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience.  Take the experience first; the cash will come later". -- Harold Geneen

"Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." -- Bill  Gates

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade-winds in your sails. Explore.  Dream.  Discover." -- Mark Twain


"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit." -- Helen Keller


Can you stump the old master? -- Betcha can't!

Over the past 50 years (man and boy), I have made bundles of money in direct selling, service contracting, wholesale merchandising, entertainment (I was a professional Trumpet player, vocalist & Radio Announcer), freight forwarding, import/export, retail merchandising, warehousing, real estate, electronics manufacturing, finder's fees, closeout merchandising, financial brokerage, business consulting, steel fabrication, gold and coal mining, offshore banking, mailorder, writing, and publishing. -- That being the case ...

No matter what business you're in ... whether you're just starting, well on your way, or at the top of the heap ... I've probably been where you are, done what you are doing. -- So ...

Anytime you have a question about 'how' to do something in your business - or - if you have any comments about anything I've said in issues of this e-Letter; or if you want to add your 2 cents worth ... just "ask" me or "tell" me.

Send your Questions, Comments or 2 Cents Worth to ...

with "Question" - "Comment" - or, "2 Cents Worth" in the SUBJECT.

If I, personally, don't have an answer to any question you may ask, I will contact some of the professionals in your field of endeavor (I will probably know one or more personally) to get the real 'skinny' for you.

Note: If you want to ask a question anonymously just tell me so when you send in the question. -- Nobody but you and I will know who asked the question.
