Make $$$$$ while you Zzzzz!




So much is happening around us!

A very big part of me wants to consume the daily updates on a "need to know" basis purely to retain my focus and my sanity. Economically we are warned of crunch and are in full view of punches thrown globally.

A piece of news I did pick up on is how Sylvester Stallone hoped that he had kept the rights to Rocky films. In all fairness it was his every word and work which went into it. When I reflect on this I'm also urged to feel - maybe that's just the way it was meant to be!  Maybe his opportunity cost to take him from unknown to known.

I also think of the late Steve Jobs who was fired from the company he started. Not easy to understand what it must have felt like for him. I also personally know someone who, through a set of  extremely disheartening circumstances, was cornered into exiting a role which she was committed to and giving many late nights to. Not easy! None of these instances could have been for any one of these people. I say this with conviction but which also leads me to another set of thoughts.

History shows that through wars and depressions we still can reference and remember spirits who rose above circumstances financially,  professionally, through business etc. I use the word spirit to hone in on exactly that. The human spirit which can clearly kick into vision and prosper against every odd. Please make no mistake as I too am fully aware of the struggles facing many sectors, businesses, people, societies and which includes me. I'm not romanticizing genuine matters for concern by viewing them through my rose tinted, designer sunglasses. Nor am I sipping on any of my favorite rose flavored alcohol free drinks, with their potential to soothe me into any delusions about the realities we face as an Economy, a Society and as the Human Race.

I report into a global team weekly and have to explain the good, the bad and the promising. I understand all to well what it must feel like to work hard and to not see the results hoped for when envisaged, or to have outcomes so delayed that it only makes sense to plant new seeds. But I also get to celebrate breakthrough milestones and these moments feel amazing. I own them.

Owning your own position through business, innovation, free thought, contribution, your time and ownership rights is more relevant now than ever. More questionable and responsibility bearing too. On the subject of ownership, I believe I understand what your own eCommerce platform can lend too. This is even while I respect and am in admiration of leaders in the space of aggregated trading, eCommerce based marketplaces.

For God's sake, I developed IP 18+ months ago for multinational participation, eCommerce based marketplaces advocating open markets, new markets, "free trade"and more. The concept document was presented at some of the highest levels for consideration and shared freely with global minds too. If anything makes sense to me (mildly put and with humility), it's the power and possibilities of seamless trade for Entrepreneurs.

eCommerce seems, ceteris paribus, to promise this. And it's with this promise, I am deliberating the commission of my own eCommerce business in time and for variety of reasons. This is with a single "product" in mind.

When the time arrives to implement, assured it would be with eCommerce web leaders who pioneered and built some of the most sophisticated, aggressively accessed and daily traded eCommerce platforms. It will be with Thoughtcorp.

I have their proposal..let's see what I want to do next. Rose tinted sunglasses and rose flavored tea aside.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
