CORPORATE HIGH RISE DOWN

I had an amazing day yesterday. I broke a record for my podcast and my radio show. I did an entire block/ segment of 3 hours and 3 minutes, with 3 seconds to spare. I dove into my own psychology for the public to see, and digest; live. It was based, on the psychology of my full and final retirement. More than a design study, it was a letter to myself. As soon as I finished. I listened to it completely. Then, surprisingly; I did it again.

The main emphasis was to capture each thought, not just to captivate my audience. But, to actually help myself move forward. I tapped into several layers of my own unique flow state. I set the base line first. Then I explored key concepts, that I would later use; and in real time. Then, I went for it. I touched on topics from my portfolio, my retirements, and Darth Vader. Very, very nice.

During my prep stages for sleep, I could not stop thinking about today. And what I wanted to execute for the day. I knew that time would be limited. But, I still decided to override that notion; and squeeze the rest of the time I had available. I knew that I had to approach several business ventures. And I also knew that I had to resort back to direct sales; in person. This meant, that I would have to pitch my company's services door to door; by hand.

Two to three styles or types of businesses were targeted. The first two are hair care based. They are natural competitors, as they all share the same exact market space. There are external factors, outside of my control, understanding and reach, that pointed and guided me, towards these plazas. Three or more are food franchises. Each hosts, their own; valuable attributes. For example. One would be best in the morning hours. While the others were best suited for the evenings. One would be excellent, as far as distribution, and in between both of the other restaurants, I just mentioned.

What was designed to be a simple, short term contract/ agreement became more complex; inside my mind. Why you ask? Desperation. I was on edge. I was under high pressure, high stress and tension. I started with some basic data points, and found myself just adding more and more, to my own set of responsibilities. I then added two more business industry ventures. One is more focused on real estate and construction, then the others; yes I said that right, the others. Were in the night life business.

I quickly stopped myself for some H2O.

Let's all dive deeper into the core.

I had done no, market research, and I based my newly developed data sets; on old information? Why would I resort to doing that? I have never really ever, done that before, nor would I ever advice that? So where is that coming from? Desperation. I was under extreme stress. I also realized that I had not lost anything. I could evaluate things, more deeply, because no agreements, or contracts had been signed and notarized. This turned out to be my savior. The fact, that more external factors; highlighted my shortcomings, provided me, the advantages, that I desperately needed.

I praised myself for my attempt. I chose not, to let the common consensus stop me, or influence my decision making abilities and capacities. I knew that this would be only a small building block, not a definitive stone; into my retirement, masterpiece. My entire podcast was about taking my time with things, and acknowledging where I was both in life and in business. Yet, my subconscious mind, almost won in the end?

This is the dreaded autopilot, of life.

Please avoid this setting at all costs.

Take full responsibility for your entire life and yourself. Wins or losses and pick up the valuable diamonds, in all of the lessons you learn. Take, not only a position, but also take a firm stance. Slow down, or speed up if you have to but, please have a long term focus. What we want to do is maximize time, and timing. We don't want a short term set of victories, for more prolonged successes in the future. This is essentially what I wanted to avoid. So I, responsively have to ask myself, for an emergency meeting; with myself, and myself only.

This is exactly what this is.

Because this is a public forum, and format. I have to do this for all of you to learn from it, as well as myself. This is in an effort to auto correct myself; on behalf of us, all. This is unacceptable behavior. These patterns are the major threat to success. At times, it can be the opposite of what we don't know, master or understand, that compromises us. It is what we may have been indoctrinated with, at, or during our business development stages. Not the unknown variables.

How could one person; me. Have an amazing day; together with you, for the podcast. And then, in the same moment, or shortly thereafter, do the exact opposite. Even after reviewing my accomplishments; twice! The subconscious mind fully understood that it was, under an extreme attack. And there was no delay, in its retaliation. It was an immediate response. All I could think to myself; was, "I have not done, any recent market research".

IN fact. I have never really done that before. Why now all of a sudden, was I reverting to that style or type of behavior? I simply had no answers, for myself, or anyone for that matter. It was desperation. It was a lack of self control, and it just may have been a deeper reflection, of myself. Remember all of those unknown factors, and elements, outside of my control, reach, and understanding? They had been very busy at work, while I was trying to get other things done.

So basically, as hard as I worked on improving things, my subconscious mind, was equally as busy, if not more; trying to destroy the beautiful garden I had just planted. Jim Rohn always spoke about the weeds, the weeds; the weeds. They are out to take out, your garden. IN a sense, it is the same concept of waves hitting the shores of our lives. You may produce a decent income, and have savings and investments fully in place. Those are the waves coming in. Then you have all liabilities, responsibilities and expenses, combining with all other, external; unknown variables, hitting those accomplishments. That withers, and deteriorates them, by penalizing them; taxing, additional, hidden fees.

A million dollars can be destroyed by one penny.

So lets think about this. Again. Let's explore and evaluate this situation in its entirety. The unknown variables, were deadly, but, not as efficient, or effective as my subconscious mind. It was not only attacking my squadron of successes; it was doing so in stealth mode. We never knew where the inbound attacks, were stemming from. We had no data points. All we had was downed aircraft. Further evaluation, based on its timing; revealed that all the attacks, came from within.

How could I move forward, and still achieve my goals?

For one; easy, is to start over, fresh and new. I had to allow myself the opportunity to peel back the layers. Let's bet it all on red, and explore this together. The main vision and goal is complete. I was unable to secure financing to move the company out of state. So, I knew exactly what to do from there. I had to realize that you will win some, and you will also lose some. Naturally, as an apex predator, I decided to build a new financial structure, in order for me to finance everything myself.

A base line is now established.

A short term commitment, where I could incorporate all of my business concepts; for other franchises, that are available to me now. This would fund my following business moves, in the chess board of life. Great. This works. Several franchises quickly came into mind. I do have a strong background on each of these. Plus, I could help multiple businesses. It would not be a conflict of interest, as each is in its own lane, of the same industry. My advantage is that all share the same shopping centers, and that is my true business. My goal was to revamp the entire shopping centers, not just one business, or area of businesses, that this real estate property/ investment offers the public.

Increasing the value, right at the cusp of placing the shopping center for sale.

Closing that deal, would grant me a nice percentage of all profits and proceeds; estimated at 19%; short term. The faster that I could do this, the higher my profit margins would be. My commissions could be as high as 34%. I would be happy with 24%. But, I would still aim for that 30% +. Okay. So far, so good. I now fully understand, that I only need this capital, to finance an even bigger investment. If anything, you would think, that my default mechanism would be; to be extra, extra careful.

I found myself getting sloppy, so now I have to correct myself.

I have to make up for the loss of time, and at the same time still; reach for the highest profit, during my rebuilding stage, in the now of things. I had just created, more work for myself. We need to place this in reverse, and get back on the race track of success.

I had to allow myself, the time; at least 72 hours to make all, of my current decisions. Before I started my new break downs; I wanted to call everyone, and email everyone. That now revealed to me, that I was out of synergy, sync and sequence. The navigation systems, were clearly telling me; "wrong direction". Wrong way; please correct your path, and, your approach. To be fair. I fully accredited myself; for my attempts. The drive and the motivation was clearly there. But my technique was off. I was hitting the nails, with more wood blocks, instead of using my hammer.

I used a knife where I should have used a box cutter. I stressed myself out, during an extremely, pressurized situation. It taught me how to be more cautious. The things that are a priority, and at stake here, is not just the success of this active portfolio; here. What is mostly, at stake is the grand scale investments; moving forward. Because of that, I realized my own failure. I had to add more weight, or more of a priority; in and within my overall investment.

This is where I made a big mistake.

I understand; now. That I cannot make any of these small and medium decisions, without taking into consideration, the effects, it will have on my big investments. It's as if, all of these decisions, have to be based on what my complete vision of the future is; with all of my retirement investments, and nest eggs. Now I can grow from here. Now I can rebuild. But, first, I had to take full responsibility, by taking a full self inventory.

I fucked up and I realized how bad; I was fucking up.

Fuck this.

This is not the way to go.

I have to start my making full notes in power points. I have to do all of the research, and make my final decisions. From there, I have to build a game plan for execution. This has to be a well thought out investment, and it should only have that type of priority; as if I, was, the full owner, and not just a business partner. I have to sequence everything that I am doing, and I need to start seeking out; all of my accountability partners.

You.

Let's go. The time is now. I challenge myself to correct all of this destruction, before it even starts. We will call this the basics. Lets boil it down to 5 options, and fully review those. Time is important, as I can only manage one business venture at a time; personally, physically. Technology does not apply here, as these businesses deal with the public; directly. I will have to also man, the battle stations, during these processes. These new found elements, will provide me a backdrop, to all necessary steps.

Step one is to do the full business assessments, for each venture. Then I need to finalize the ones that I am fully interested in, so that I can easily be invested; in. I have to secure my own dedication, to each venture, that I now; secure. Step three. All investments have to work in full harmony with each other. That means that the timing, and scheduling has to work together. One to two businesses; has to take up those available hours, during the day.

A basic start is to select the morning business. And then select the best evening business. Then allocate those times, for both investments, during Mondays; through Fridays. This opens up Saturdays and Sundays. One of those food franchises; Chick Fil A, does not open on Sundays. Perfect. That was easy. Saturdays, and Sundays will not be available to that, particular franchise.

Saturdays and Sundays means, two additional businesses. One in the morning. One in the evening as well. I even thought about overnight shifts. But, that could harm, the beautiful structure that I just built. Remember that I want to be efficient, and effective at each business. I want to secure my management brand, by giving only my best at each interval. and for each business. IN my heart of hearts; I want to give my best to all of my business partners. But I can only do that, to my best capacity. I much rather help, for a few hours a day, throughout most of the week. Instead of providing anything less, during the entire week.

I acknowledge my amazing heart. I want to give it all, at all times. Sometimes all at once, because I have the desire to be understood. I want to soothe the pains, of the unknowns. But, each entrepreneur, has to go through their own processes. I am only here to serve as a guide. I cannot do the work for you.

I only have a certain, set amount of days; to dedicate to each business. What I used to do in three to four months; I have to deliver in 2 to 3 weeks. A month is a lifetime; in business, today. I almost feel that I have failed you, if you seek my company services out, and in 14 to 21 days we cannot deliver results. The changes that we implement and incorporate; last a lifetime. One may add certain things, and remix it to your own tune, but, overall; It is based on the psychology of your consumers and all, of your end users.

There are no right or wrong answers here. Results; is the name of the game. I have to get this grand opening going, outside of this country. I have to tighten down all of my investments here. Remember that these investments, inside this entire portfolio; are all, very, very small ones. These are more simple businesses, by comparison to others. We have to dominate simplicity, if our goals, are ever to master complexities.

I did a quick study on composites. And each element, or strand that develops into, a complex, molecular structure; is based, on simple systems. These systems combine, to make more elaborate, complex systems. Each has its own unique attributes, features and benefits. You can do it. I believe in you. If anyone can do it it is you.

I went as far, as thinking about a previous business I managed. The experience was limited. But, as a businessman; I thought why not? I remembered how things ended, and then decided to just move on; move forward. It's 2024. This says a lot about me, and my brand. I just went through a similar, abusive situation; recently.

I got this.

Again. I commemorate myself for my amazing heart. I have to protect, that beautiful heart. I have to always be extra careful, with all that I do. There are evil people in business, too. Be very careful, and always remember the golden rules. When someone shows you, who they really are at the core; believe them. You will get the same results, a million times over, with a million people, if, you, add, in, the same formula. A person that harms you, will harm others. The nature of that type of person, is clearly seen, in all things; that person does.

It's a way of life for those individuals. They are most likely in their comfort zone, and would refuse the opportunity to get any type of professional help. I am not here to rebuild a person. I am hired to restore a business venture. When an owner, or administration, showcases these types of behavior, the very best thing is to walk away; completely.

Just pretend that, the business venture never existed. Just erase it from your mind. Power through, and move forward. In the end it will be the very best option, and decision; for you. Prioritize yourself, both, in business, in your career, in your investments and in life. People will only value, that same value which you place on yourself. This is not baseball, and most people do not deserve three strikes.

One; is a guaranteed out.

Just by sharing this with you all, has made the entire difference. I feel much better already. I can now write down my priority list, and start checking things off, from it; as I accomplish them. I have other options, as; a back up, insurance. As every solid entrepreneur should. So, we will see, exactly how things develop. I still have to do my part and my due diligence.

Now I can make my phone calls and send out my emails. I am in full synchronicity, and in the correct sequence.

Thank you to you; all.

See you in a BTC.
