No more Kings

No more Kings

I just finished listening to the audio book about Bill Gross, the self appointed Bond King. Our founding fathers protected us from the king, unfortunately we weren’t protected from “The Bond King”.

Our forefathers founded the US to get away from the king. We need to follow their lead and not create a king. The king doesn’t work for us or our forefathers. We want to be our own boss.?


In business and war we need to understand when to surrender.

We need to know when it is a good time to surrender. Our instincts are often too early. It is difficult to stay with a project. It is easier to quit.?


Social media gives me confidence?

Social media facilitates comparing ourselves to others who do the same job.?Unfortunately we are not Elon. He is a unique character and as our parents told us we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. We are unique.?


Our industry gives a lot of awards. I have been fortunate to win one. The award had a short shelf life.It was a pyrrhic victory. No crown and no vote.
