Producer vs Consumer

March 5, 2008

I realize that the den will probably get less visits if we eliminate doom and gloom talk but that is what I have decided to do. I hate negative people and negative energy so why even talk about it. My mind was plaqued with enough of it in 2007. Afterall it is all about mindset anyways.

When you can control your own mind and when you can control a culture you can literally create anything you want. When you lose control of a culture – you lose performance. I think someone said it best in the following quote, “In a society where anything goes eventually everything will.”

We all must remind ourselves of the basic RULES OF LEADERSHIP

*Constantly Communicate Vision

*Confrontational Leadership

*Decide, Design, Create, Attract

*Be, Do, Have

*Act in Highest and Best Use

*Razor Sharp Focus

*Explosive Energy

*Constantly Evolve (Grow) & Set New Standards

*Implement & Execute

*Excitement, Ethuasiam, Passion, Conviction & Collaboration

*Always See the Job Through

*Unwavering Faith

*Balance not Indulgence

*Outstanding influences & Mentors

*Deal with Adversity

And our ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES

1. Profitability

2. Strategy

3. Opportunity

4. Performance Driven Culture

5. Growth

6. Integrity

Five Tracks Of Wealth has some really cool stuff on thinking like a producer.

CNN Your Money: Talks of Great Depression Coming

Another blog talks about the trillions spent on the Iraq war as the key reason for igniting the current state of the economy.

The video mentions that over 9 Million people are under water and that number could double. I am not sure if they got that stat from ShadowStats.com but here is the link.

Remember if it is just your second mortgage that is putting you under water and your first is still below what your home is worth FHA may be able to help.

I have talked about Harry Dent before in other posts.

Nothing to do other than work, work, work, produce, produce, produce or else you will be begging for a potato in the street. – oh and remember to fix your rate

I am going to have new author of Beach Money, Jordan Adler, do a guest post on how to “depression proof” your income.
