In working through a strategy, which I usually do while just walking around, driving, listening to others, or writing, I do not shy from unethical and immoral options any more than I do moral or costly options. Once you find a solution the problem lies only in finding a solution that is not UNETHICAL or IMMORAL. This is the problem with moralizm. You limit yoru scope of conception. Or, you are too weak of character to eliminate the unethical and immoral choices until you find an amoral or moral means of achieving the same end.

When I negotiate in a hostile environment I take the position of holding the moral high ground and ‘stay on message’ creating evidence of a narrative of holding the moral high ground. Most of the time we are punished or sued for honest errors, and get away with our most dishonest and immoral plans. The secret of legal success is holding the moral high ground and betting that the jury will side with you for doing so. I usually go all in and risk the jury. When my peers (board) disagree with me, they lose. Always. I never do a deal where I think I might get sued where I can’t construct a narrative of holding the moral high ground. And the secret is … largely, because you always try to actually do so. its simply the optimum business strategy. There will always be people who think your errors are plans, and don’t see the immoral plans you either did or didn’t take. But build a reputation for never surrendering, favoring litigation, and holding the high ground and it works.

When I want to “kill”a company (cause it to collapse) I try to recruit people with grudge, or at least make relationships with people in the company who have a grudge. Every company does something or other totally innocently that is illegal. Then I construct a narrative of intent, and spread it. Then I get insiders to conduct a lawsuit. I have done this a half dozen times. Why? People are selfish and proud and easily provoked to revenge, even at high cost.

When I want to buy an overpriced company I open locations or offices or sales teams at its fringes. Most companies cannot tolerate a 20% decline in sales. If you can cause a 20% decline in sales you can cause an 80% decline in purchase price. Mostly because talented people will flee to you. This is why you want free capital, and not to create too much debt or take too much profit. Most companies extract rents and profits and debt to the point where you can’t use capital to extract high ratio wins through acquisitions of people, operations, and customers at windfall discounts. The number of long established companies I have bought this way would astound you.

LAUNCH TIME So, my work is ready, I am ready, it seems like enough of the group
LAUNCH TIME
So, my work is ready, I am ready, it seems like enough of the group is ready, and the circumstance is ready, and market demand will begin to increase. And as such everything is ready to start ‘teaching’.
Because we have an explanation, a science, a solution, and a plan, and no one else has anything close.
The only issue I have is that I need enough ‘participants’ live online at the same time so that we together produce a seminar, rather than me alone producing a lecture.
If we do that then we can ‘build’ a group of ‘professors’ so to speak, and I can publish our ‘demands’ and we can educate people in the whole spectrum from understanding to demand, to calls to action to tactics in execution.
So it appears timing is about right.
And it’s time to launch.

We have made an idea. We are building a thought leadership, and with it, a movement.
