Here's something I hope will come out of this post. I hope that many people on this platform, born between 1975 and 2000, read this post and understand they are not exempt from being made obsolete.

Start NOW developing more than one income stream. Right NOW.

And understand these things:
🌟 You were born a "brand".
🌟 You are enough - right now.
🌟 When you trade time for money, you have limited yourself.
🌟 You can and will do more with your life and better than ever.

It does seem unreasonable to ceremoniously become obsolete-how dare they!
However, it has always been a fact of life.

We simply ignored it and bought into the idea of one job, changing it up every 5-7-10 years, working hard, being loyal, and it will all work out.

It has NEVER been that way. Nor will it EVER be.

All we do when we buy into that idea is set ourselves up for a huge professional and personal let down.

EVERYONE, in some capacity, once they have hit that magic age of "5-0" has a target on their backs. No exceptions.

Preparation for this when you're thirty is the best advice I was offered by my mentors.

My long-game strategy for success in this digital world is explained in this comment:

“The purpose in my posting every day is for people to know I am reliably here, have something of interest [to some} to say, but most important, to get to know me so they can decide if I am worthy of their trust. They will hopefully, over time, have enough information to decide if they want to buy something.”

Here’s the information they will have to make a buying decision…

Proven track record of:
💪 Tackling broken business processes that no one else wanted to fix. Why?

Because the client was not afraid to TRY and fail. They were more fearful of NOT trying.

💪 Cleaning up colossal and [supposedly] unsalvageable methods and system malfunctions. Why?

Because I KNEW it could BE done. The client believed and trusted me. There were two options: Fix it or transform it.

💪 Transforming status quo functional business units into new-age, human-based revenue generating communities. Why?

Because unique clients were not afraid to disrupt the status quo and end up in an uncontested market space.

If there’s anything else you believe you want or need to know, please ask, comment, DM.

This is about as real as it gets on this topic. Take a look - it will be an excellent use of eleven minutes.

Seems some of my comments on other people’s posts receive more impressions than my original posts. Go figure!

People with too much money wonder this. Am I liked because I have money, or am I liked because I am me?

Many of us say to ourselves, “I would love the opportunity to find that out for myself.”

Many people believe there should be no compassion when discussing money. “It’s only business.” Or is it?

Wouldn’t it be GREAT if someone genuinely wants to know how you are without judgement of any kind?

When someone asks, "How are you today?" Wouldn’t it be GREAT if someone genuinely wants to know how you are without judgement of any kind?

Controversial conversations with compassion entail SELF-empowerment.

The site of a white elephant was rare and considered very lucky. The flower represented purity and knowledge. Based on that definition, I think all of us could use a white elephant.

The employee is FIRST in a company, then the customer, then the company. This is a very controversial conversation. How do I know this? I lived it.
