Feb 2, 2020, 11:16 AM Another of my favorite CEO tactics:
—“Curt, we should do this…”—
OK. How would we do that? What would we not do in order to do that instead? Who will do it and be responsible for doing it? I’m willing to do it if you can make it happen. Teaching moment. I save up those ideas and sort of auction them off during the next strategy session. 😉 People make sh-t happen if they commit to it in public.
Feb 7, 2020, 10:05 AM I think you should imitate bill’s technique. We use my feed to identify candidates that you then recruit. After a while you will be able to recruit your own people without my feed. Then once you have ‘got the message down’ enough, make a few dozen videos (it takes that many) and recruit by video. This creates a community. We are building a network of communities of common interest. All built on P but addressing the needs or wants of people living lives with different contexts and therefore different demands from P. Video > Public Feed > Private Group that meets regularly to discuss a topic in the king of the hill(male) or socrates cafe(female) model > ‘a leadership team’ that keeps track of the development of the group and tries to move the group along > “A Mission” > Courseware. Do not try to make money. It doesn’t work.

You create a movement with ideas that sell themselves because they provide value to people by solving problems of the age – not by enthusiasm. Inspiration’s half life is 24 hours. A solution’s value lasts as long as there is a market for it.

—“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing some career advice with me? Do you advise more of a focus on technical knowledge such as computer science or soft skills and selling?”—
One lesson for every main in the world:
-“Every man must learn or trade or else eventually become a scoundrel”– Spinoza.
Always Always Always Learn a technical trade FIRST. In the most difficult field you can manage. The Trades, Engineering, Sciences, or Law. The source of the training or degree doesn’t matter after the first three years. Just create a record of sticking with a job for two years and then upgrading if you need to. Then after your first four to six years get the best you can. It makes no sense to try for google-facebook-apple unless you are in the top .1%. These are ridiculous outliers. Instead, the world is full of opportunities to master your field. The general career progression is Trade > Project Management > Sales > Contracts > Accounting-Finance > Executive > Marketing > Entrepreneur > CEO > Capital Raising > Diversification of Investments > Investor. Always, always, always try to follow that path to the best of your ability. Get the training you need to get a job. Work hard at learning the job as much as accomplishing it while you are young and have strength and energy. Always always always, make sure if you’re in a trade that you have paid off your house before you’re 35. This means it doesn’t matter what happens to your body after 40. Your demand is lower.

—“Also do you have any writings you could point me to on your views on big business’ role in society? Namely, I do see cultural marxism and other factors at play throughout university and entertainment, but the pressures from big biz for cheap labor, for mass immigration of more customers etc. as the primary driving force behind our replacement. Does a mixed economy with strong tariffs and other incentives prevent this from happening in the future?”—
BUSINESS(INDUSTRY): 1. The production of goods, services and information. 2. The normalization of middle class behavior (everyone is a potential customer) 3. The production of the possibility of the self organizing – civil- society. Business increases customer base, dependencies and alliances until everyone in the society is a customer, dependency, and alliance BIG BUSINESS(INDUSTRY) 1. The role of big business in society is to provide a durable sustainable revenue stream upon which to base the political revenue necessary for the incremental suppression of parasitism that makes possible the extension of trust and opportunity down into smaller and smaller producers, which in turn produces the middle class ethic which is the source of high trust – that is initiated by the militia. (important)
Obviously big business can afford to pay for research and development. This is a minor role. Because big business cannot compete with the government for basic research. The government performs basic research industry applied research. And Small and Medium Business applies the results of basic research to niche (smaller) markets.
4 (Limits) The problem evident throughout all of history is that the middle class (Business and industry) has no more incentive to limit it’s consumption of economic opportunity than the citizenry has incentive to limit it’s consumption of human and institutional capital. So this is the important insight of fascism and nationalism: that profit at national expense is a theft of capital: privatization of commons or socialization of losses.

Don’t ask permission. Just ask. It’s my job and I like my job. 😉 Either I’ll answer, or; I’ll answer in the feed bacause others will benefit, or; I’ll direct you to a link on the web site or one of the other guys. or; I’ll tell you I’ll answer when I can because it will take more time than I have at the moment, Or; I’ll tell you its inappropriate for me to answer fight club questions. Or; I’ll ignore it because … lots of reasons.
