(I say this as someone who was successfully married for a long time but in retrospect might better not have been. )

(FB 1550972139 Timestamp) YES, SALES IS BEST, AND THE EXECUTIVE PATH, BUT… -“CURT (Career Advice): Sales is the upper limit for earning but it is especially NPC heavy, where the better salesman are either NPCs, or front so well as them it is indistinguishable.”- This isn’t really true. The more risk you are mitigating with your sale, the less being an NPC (likable) is valuable. Conversely, the less substantial your sale, the more ‘likability’ is what the consumer is purchasing. I sold every expensive high risk propositions and delivered greater customer service than the competition, with less concern for profit, and more concern for customer retention. But I am a closer. I don’t ‘originate’ sales. I don’t have the personality for it. I hire people who do. So your personality must satisfy the criteria: origination (likability), or winning a competition (skill), or holding an income stream (customer care.). You must sell what you are best at selling.

End false promise, baiting into hazard, pilpul and critique, and force everyone without exception into a warranty of due diligence in display word and deed and this circumstance will vaporize instantly.

(FB 1551188122 Timestamp) MORE COURSES I have to demonstrate the success of a few courses before I can get others to invest. The average person has no idea how difficult it is to put together any of the series: a presentation, a workshop, a training program, or a course. A course requires 45 hours of presentation and 90 hours of outside ‘work’. Because of the online format we can offer a range of 6(90hrs), 3(45hrs), 2(30hrs), 1(15hrs), .5(8 hrs), and .25(4hrs) credit courses – and bundle various small courses into a larger ‘collection’. The same is for topics. By creating topics we can combine topics across courses for cross training. Personally this is the most rewarding work I have ever done. And the idea that people can more easily access the work and do so in a community format is thrilling. We’re slow but we get there.

(FB 1551280113 Timestamp) UNDERSTAND NEGATIVE VS POSITIVE COMPETITION (The Economics of Time) (core) In positive ( market ) competition we compete for the seizure of unseized opportunities (potential capital), by increasing the time content of the products and services we offer whether by price or quality. In negative (anti-market) competition we compete for the seizure of previously seized opportunities, thereby stealing (decreasing) the time content (existential capital). Capital consists of a store of time produced by human actions. When we divide labor we decrease the time demand for production. In the via negativa, we do not produce more, we increase the rate of production in time. All of economics is the study of time and energy just like all of physics is the study of time and energy. The difference is that universe can’t choose, and because we can remember, act, sympathize, and cooperate, we can save time. In this sense we are not wealthier than our pre-language ancestors, we have simply made everything drastically cheaper by cooperating and saving time, first in production and second in the form of capital: stored time.
