Turnover in Small Business

The team is the business
In small business, the business is the employees, the people who do the actual work, including owners.
It is a business expense (comes off the top) to pay the employees.
Short term compensation does nothing for retention.
The less turnover, the more profitable the business, almost without exception.
If a business loses a key employee, for instance: the owner-manager, due to either sickness or turnover, the business can fail quickly.
If a business shares long term benefits, even profits, with these key employees, the employees become owners in their minds, and the business thrives.
You cannot build an effective team by way of nepotism and top down management.
By making your employees feel valued and important, and by providing a clear path for them to advance their own dreams, you can build a business that lives forever.

Business fail for all the reasons above, or limp along.
I built a huge business, my life’s work, and walked away with nothing but an education; that is the way the employees feel.
It can be avoided.

How to Change a Culture | One Heart at a Time | Paradise Found

 

The awesome potential is all here.  I did not find God in a church.  I found HIM in the eyes and hearts of his children.  I have traveled many places in search of the right place to change the world.  I have found it here, in the White Mountains of Arizona.

Like so many others, I came here with nothing, after losing it all in the crash, and searching for a new life.  Now I am compelled to share my unique vision of what is possible, with you:

  1. Local Mormons and Christians
  2. Local Native Tribes – Apache, Navajo and others..
  3. The rest of the world.

Change happens, but it need not happen in the wrong way, like California, New York, Africa, and the way it has been here in the past.  We can do so much better, and we have everything that we need here to do it differently.  I am not going to ask your permission to share my vision with you.  Permission is given to me by God.  Here it is:

First, I will outline the problems, the opportunities, and the hard facts that nobody can deny:

In this sacred place, where people have fought against tyranny, “progress” and greed for thousands of years…

  • In this, the most corrupt time since The Tower of Babel was built, the curse has been lifted.
  • We have elected a President over the corrupt Oligarchs’ dead bodies, here in the proverbial “New Jerusalem”
  • Science and spirituality have begun to merge, as I have predicted they would, in the Hebrew year 5777.
  • We now have enough technology (it has been given to us at key times in our history) to know what is possible, and that there have been visitors here with us all along (the local Natives have always known this, the Mormons also know)

What this all means, and what is about to happen…

The fact is that we are not just animals.  We are different.  We are children of God, spirits, living in an earthly body for a time, and none of this has ever been an accident, it is part of a grand plan.

“Things that are seen, are made of things unseen.”  “You say that you love me, yet you do not do what I do.”  ~Jesus Christ.

This is what I believe about the truth:

  1. There is only one truth.  It is the same for all of us.
  2.  The truth is familiar, we know it when we hear it; it is in our DNA.
  3. The truth is omnipotent; amazingly powerful if spoken or shared.
  4. If it is not 1-3, it is probably NOT the truth.

THE TRUTH

It is what Mormons, Christians, and Natives share: they ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN GOD.

And Jews, just chosen as an example, of the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Just people, like everyone else.

“I bring before you this day a blessing, and a curse…so that all the world will know, that I AM God.”

This was prophetic, so I will share it again:

We have the technology to live well 541-982-9291

Now that 2016 draws to a close, it is time to get specific about how we will repair our USA, drain the swamp in Washington, and also restore our American culture.

No part of our nation has suffered more under failed ideology and the deliberate, Satanic sabotage of the “New World Order” than our families.

Liberty, freedom, and wealth once prominent in our nation has been undermined by way of the destruction of the American family, and the division of the generations, the races, and our children from any semblance of respect and guidance.

In order to solve these modern problems, we need modern solutions, since returning to the 1950’s USA is just is not an option.

In order to move forward, we must focus on solutions, rather than problems, and we can.

With changes made possible by new and disruptive technology, the landscape, the options, the possibilities and the solutions have also changed.

The developers who built all those track-homes with chem-lawns, financed by a corrupt banking industry and a run-away government, never intended to live in them, and neither should we.  There are better alternatives now.

The Federal Government is going to be remodeled, and we need to abandon the past:

  • revitalize dormant assets
  • move property, education, and jobs out of the public sector
  • rebuild our private sector and our families
  • educate and enrich our children
  • rebuild our economy
  • reform our leadership.

The modern solutions to these challenges are easier to execute than you would imagine, and imagination is the key to positive change:

Stop drinking the “Cool-aid”

Regardless of which side you were once on, this is not a football game, it is not the past, and we all win or lose together.  We all win, or we all lose, as one human race.  The lies and corruption on both sides need to end, we all need to wake up, and we need to come together.

Materialism, sin, hedonism, greed, and pride are the real enemies. Love, honesty, accountability, enlightenment and integrity have always been, and will always be the answers.

The knowledge of the ages is now at our fingertips online.  We have the technology, and the will, for a true Meritocracy, a true Democracy, based on proven principles, for the first time ever in human history.

Responsible, Sustainable, Healthy Lifestyles are Doable

Modern technology makes it possible to live anywhere, communicate from anywhere, grow food anywhere, without wires, without commuting for hours in traffic, without pollution, and with less stress and less sickness.

  • Lights and technology can be powered by the sun
  • Waste can be recycled and composted and re-used
  • Dormant assets, empy buildings, closed military bases, and ghost-towns can become thriving, healthy, sustainable lifestyles.

But in order to accomplish these goals, we must first re-examine how and where we live, abandon outdated venues, and revitalize our world for better living.

Re-inventing the Family is Paramount

We can never return to the past.  Our children are our future. Our children need us to fix this world, so that they will have even more opportunities, even more love, even more guidance and education, and even more wealth than we have seen in our times. Human development is the key to fixing our society. Lets look first at our needs, then fill them:

Humans need:

  • Food
  • Shelter
  • Each other – other humans
  • Love
  • Freedom
  • Diversity – we have different talents, aptitudes
  • Education – our potential is unlimited when we are inspired

Our assetts:

  • Almost unlimited natural resources – shortage is outdated by technology – there is plenty of room
  • Buildings, land, even other planets – we have all we need to work with
  • Know how, wisdom, understanding, now available to all in a few clicks
  • Potential – we can achieve anything if we can decide to do so, believe that it will happen, and work together to execute a plan
  • Enlightenment – as science advances, it merges more and more with spirituality.  We are beginning to understand who we are, what we are here for, and what to do about it.

Modern Solutions to Ancient Problems:

  • Empty buildings, dormant assets can be revitalized as modern tribal families
  • Poeple too old to do physical labor can help with the children, cooking, gardening, marketing, teaching…
  • Orphaned children can be adopted into new sustainable tribes
  • Unemployed, forgotten workers can be offered a lifestyle as a member of the tribe
  • Each of us can do something, for the good of a more localized, tribal, modern adopted family
  • We are gregarious, we need each other, somebody to love, somebody to hang out with, somebody to interact with
  • We dont need so many vehicles, so much travel, so much shipping, if we grow, serve, produce, manufacture, and buy local
  • We can have one pool, one fitness room, one hot tub, one garden, one meeting hall, one playground, one home-school, a few vehicles, serving one tribal-sized adopted family
  • Sustainable communities are not only greener, they are economically efficient
  • If we need less, we can live more, have more time to love, to teach, and to enjoy our lives.  As a family, we can live well, and we can prosper, anywhere.

I have been been planning this for many years, and myself, and some of my many contacts, are going to start actually creating these adopted, tribal-sized families.  It is not about money, it is about Agape love.

As we identify dormant assets (empty buildings, empty land, ghost towns) we will be forming and revitalizing them thus, and offering various people, with various incomes and talents, opportunities to participate, and to join us, and to never worry again for food, shelter, love, inspiration, support, or anything else that we all need.

If you are interested in participating:

  • To never have to worry again
  • To live well
  • To become more healthy, less stressed
  • To give back
  • To help our dissengaged, lost, homeless, addicted children
  • To teach
  • To Love
  • To be a part of something wonderful
  • To farm
  • To create
  • To live a better life

All ages, talents, genders are needed.

“Let’s Roll!” Amen.

No hidden agenda, just love, and hope.

Success Manifesto – The Interactive Relationship Between Cause and Effect

2022 | Lead Generation and Conflicts of Interests in Advertising

Ok, website setup done, Google analytic bounce rate 0% (have never seen that before in 18 years of doing this!), so it is time to tell you the rest of the story:

In the summer of 2001, I quit my job, printed up a home made business card, and went into business as Oregonfreeads.com, in Springfield, Oregon.

Within 3 years, I raised over $160,000.00 to create the application, which would not cut the mustard by today’s standards.  We sold over $4000,000.00 in advertising which I invented, became Adsforfree.com, went nationwide, and almost went Public before the crash.  Unfortunately, 97.5% of our clientele at that time were California Realtors, and that company is no more.  We had sold over $10,000,000.00 in digital advertising by that time.

How, you may ask, did we do that?

You see, I knew first hand about a built in conflict of interests when it comes to advertising, especially on Google and now the social networks, Maps, Trip Adviser, Facebook…and it has always been there for Yellow Pages:

You see, the people selling that advertising are going to put you on a page, or a website, or a directory, competing with all of your peers, A-Z; thus all the 111AAAwhatever business names.  I don’t think that is very nice, and not good for the advertisers.  So I did it differently.

As far as I know, nobody else has ever done it my way, I was exclusive to my advertisers, by town.  In other words, if you were my client, for SEO, or anything else, I did not represent your competitors.  If you are nationwide, or worldwide, the exclusive could cost more, but still I did not have conflicts of interests, because I never liked it as an advertiser, and I do not think that is a good value – it is an outdated system good only for print, which is less and less important for small business’s success, and much more expensive in a digital, free advertising world.

All these years, I have maintained and improved my “Link Authority” and “Authorship” online, in preparation for this time.  I am a writer, published many places and many times, in places like Real Estate Magazine, DZone (the largest and oldest tech directory and news service on the web), Newspapers and many other places.  Truth be known, writing about business topics, finance, technology trends, how to’s is my passion, and it has always been my passion since age twelve.  Google and the others remember these things.  You cannot fake this, it must be real, and it is extremely powerful; what we used to call it in the old days was “advertorial.”

I saw an opportunity thus when Google was nothing but a search box, and I have built my power over the years in this way.

Now my secret sauce: I refuse conflicts of interests, and nobody understood it, and that is why I was able to get so huge, starting with nothing.

If you are having trouble wrapping your brain around this, you are not alone; normal in fact, so let me explain:

  • Consider the low cost of digital advertising production
  • Consider how many business categories there are in the yellow pages
  • Consider  how many Cities, town, counties, and niches there are to dominate on behalf of a client
  • Do the math, if you have one client in each, even at a low cost per year, how much money are you taking in, renewing yearly (because renewals are historically 97% with this model)
  • Which means that, according to statistics on survival in business, and especially Real Estate Agents, my clients were around 90 percent more successful than their competitors.

I walked away with nothing, but an education!

If I had been properly insured…

Now I just sell insurance.  It is a cleaner, more regulated, more fair marketplace.

For the last couple of years, I have been researching the insurance industry, and I have learned a great deal.

Why North Eastern Arizona is my choice – Navajo and Apache Counties

6877 Ft. Elevation 7500 dollars for four lots, 500 down 189 month for 48 months Vernon AZ 541-982-9291In this economy, many of us, including me (early retired, went back to work) consider making changes. Myself, I visited and created groups in 100 towns, trying to figure out where to land (done with California!).
Ripe for the move, low real estate costs (have recovered to 80% of what they were before the crash) North Eastern Arizona was my choice.
if you are considering such a move, we offer half day tours of the area, attractions, night life, and locals..( a bunch of people who moved here from Texas, Illinois, California..you name it) of Navajo and Apache counties for six people: $100, plus discounts on local food, drink, lodging, complete with a local guide to drive you:

101 | Working Because You want To | Not Because You must

We can change the world 541-982-9291Orphaned at 11 years old, in poverty, I have spent most of my 63 years hustling to get ahead, to survive.  I have always worked a lot, constantly under financial pressure.  The problem is that this lifestyle, getting by, spending whatever you can get, dodging bullets all the while, becomes a habit.

After many years of living this way, through one business cycle, one career change, one mishap after another, it takes real effort to change this pattern; indeed, for me, it took early retirement for fourteen months, to get a handle on it, and change.

But now that I am happily back to work, after a long rest and a great deal of introspection, I am doing things much differently: I am working, building, earning, relating with the people whom I serve, and work with, with a completely different mindset, because I WANT TO, and not because I must.

The difference is dramatic, and much more pleasurable.

Making the transition is easier said than done without resources, but I believe, as many successful people do, that it is more your mindset, rather than your poverty, that holds you back from having the right attitude.

To survive poverty, and overcome it, you must be able to remove the obstacles from your mind, and focus on solutions, and I believe that this can be done earlier, before the poverty mindset becomes a self limiting habit.  People who are not poor, cannot understand why this is such a challenge for some, but I do.

My point here is simply that it is a challenge that can be overcome, if you are healthy, determined, and you live long enough.  This fact has been proven over and over again throughout the ages by many who had it worse than myself, and accomplished more.

I honestly believe that regardless of circumstance, a strong and positive work ethic almost always leads to stunning success; that whatever your resources, it is more important why you do what you must do anyway, than what it is.

You see, people who resign themselves to survive, and succeed, rather than resisting the inevitable, are truly happy, and often, along the way, they learn to love what they have chosen to do, not only because they must, but because they can.

I have found that the humblest, poorest, least talented people, who “whistle while they work” are the happiest of all.

“Whatever your hands find to do, do it with diligence!”

Embrace what you must do, and you just may find that you like it.
