Creating Abundance

Dated 6 July 2010

To all;

As you all know, I have been doing everything possible to get news out about the crisis here in the Gulf of Mexico.  The lies, deceit, the censorship, and witnessing first hand the atrocities have only fueled my intense desire to communicate what I felt was important.

I am angered by a society that would allow such an event to occur.  For the sake of power, money, and greed, we have allowed governments and international corporations to dictate what they felt was in the best interest of humanity.  Somehow, it became a twisted game of power and greed, and that further fueled my anger.

Today we face an ongoing event in world history that is changing the course of events not only here, but ultimately internationally as well.  The death of the Gulf of Mexico is emminent, and no human mind or minds collectively have the knowledge or technical knowhow as to be able to stop it.  Life as we know it, life here, is forever changed, and perhaps permanently altered.  I don’t know anymore what to think, say, or do.

I also realize that I, in my expressions of anger, have most likely pissed off a ton of people.  I have been told, that anger only backs people up, and any message that was intended for them goes unread or unheard.

Today, I received an email from a very close friend.  I won’t disclose the email, but will tell you that my conclusion to it was that although my intent at creating change was admirable, my approach was not.  It leaves me with a hole that I have no idea as to how to refill it.

I have spent many years of my life challenging conventional wisdom.  To some, as I have come to learn, any conversation that is confrontational is unacceptable.  I had believed that sometimes you have to stick someone’s face into the manure to get them to realize “Houston, we have a problem”.

The wind has been taken out of my sail, and at the moment, have no idea what to do next.  Am I scared?  You bet I am.  Do I believe all the doomsday sayers?  No, but there are things within their views that do warrant attention, for within those words are truths that many do not understand or comprehend.  I feel that the information that we are being provided through main stream media is censored, and we do not know the truth of what is actually going on.  That for me is a sad state of affairs, and even that leaves me questioning everything about this crisis.  At the same time, I am not one to shrug it all off, as I have seen so often these past few weeks, totally dismissing the extent of this crisis, as if it doesn’t exist.  These people seem to think that what is being reported is just hype.  Somewhere in between perhaps the answer exists, and I will continue to search for that answer.

My ego, my intellectual want to get to the root of this, has betrayed me.  I have spent too much time in my head trying to figure it all out.  That was fueled by anger.

Now I am facing the need to stop, and allow my heart, my spirit, to guide me.  It is jumping into the dark abys and trusting that my spirit guides will once again set wind to my sails.

I apologize to anyone who was hurt, insulted, or simply pissed off by my comments on FB and other venues.  At the same time, I am grateful for those who did listen, and have expressed their concern, understanding, and willingness to see the crisis here for what it really is.

Anything I post from now on will be done so to educate, and my personal views, opinions, and comments will no longer be part of those postings.  I can only bring forward information, and it is up to you to decide what to do with it.

My Blessings to all of you, and may God bless us all.

The Gulf Oil Disaster has only just begun.  We are seeing only the tip of the iceberg.  Marine life is suffering, sea creatures from turtles to dolphin to birds are dead.  The despersents that are being used are bringing the toxicity to the currents and to the ocean floor killing marine life there, the unseen impact of this disaster.

Just because you do not see the sheen on the waters surface, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.  We have discovered that if you are wearing polarized sun glasses, you can’t see it.  Take off the glasses, and you will see this sheen clearly.

Today, Thursday, June 17th, 2010, I arrived at Beasley Park, Okaloosa Island, in Fort Walton Beach Florida.  I was there before sunrise, and stood knee deep in the water.    Normally, when one would stand motionless in the water, you would see schools of tiny fish begin to swim around your legs.  The water was void of any life.  After about 10 minutes, coming out of the water, I had several dozen globs of oil stuck to my legs like leaches.  Picking them off with my finger nails, the skin under my nails felt as if I was being poked with a burning match.  A couple of the spots on my legs began to sting.

Sitting on the beach now, I noticed the quietness.  There were no seagulls, no sand pipers, no pelicans.  The beach itself seemed dead.

I talked with a woman who was taking pictures.  She said she has been a volunteer for years at Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge, and was reporting to her followers on Twitter what she was seeing.  She too had the globs of oil on her legs.  She too felt a burning sensation on her skin.

At about 9am, I drove towards Destin, and stopped about a mile east from Beasley Park.  Here again I walked to the shore line, and every step I took, there were tar balls the size of quarters everywhere.  Standing again in knee deep water, I again found my legs covered with these globs of oil.

When I returned to Beasley Park, the lifeguards were on duty.  A yellow flag was flying.  Some people had already arrived, and there were people in the water – adult to little kids.  I talked with the lifeguard and told him these people should not be in the water.  “yeah I know, I have been instructed to tell them there is an advisory to stay out of the water, but it is their choice to go in”.  “I am not authorized to stop them.”  We discussed the tar balls, and he said he was covered with them yesterday.

What these people and the authorities are not seeing is that this water is toxic, it is poison.  These people will suffer health issues when they return home.

I do not know why they are allowing this.  I do not know why the beaches are not being closed to swimming completely.

Therefore, we are instituting a “volunteer” effort to make people aware of the hazards.  We are asking everyone to take a “BLACK FLAG”, even if it is a piece of black cloth, and tie it to posts along the beach so that people will know to stay out of the water.

We intend that this “BLACK FLAG” effort will get more and more people to realize that the waters here are not safe for anyone!!!

We need all the help we can get to prevent this marine disaster from becoming a human disaster as well.

Take a look at the equation above. Neat huh? It explains a lot, that is if you are a student of mathematics.

So, what does this equation have to do with marketing? Nothing and everything!!!

Many folks in marketing overstress themselves by getting involved in complicating their lives. When adding more complexities to their lives, they get more and more tired, and finally give up. It’s no wonder that over 95% of those who start a business, fail.

Bill Britt, one of the most successful network marketing distributors ever, was interviewed some years ago on 20/20. They did a feature story on network marketing. They spent time interviewing distributors who had failed, and then showed the stock piles of stuff they couldn’t sell.

At the very end of the show, Bill was interviewed in front of his home. He was asked, “Mr. Britt, this business has obviously worked for you. What’s your secret?”

He said, “There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people. 900 said no, and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at all. Out of those 85 only 35 were serious, and out of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire.”

Like all successful marketers, Bill worked through the numbers.

Plain and simple, any business is a numbers game!

Thomas Edison is quoted as saying it would take a matter of a few weeks to invent the bulb. In reality, it would take him almost two years of failed attempts, new discoveries, and prototypes before he would find success. It is said he tried over 6,000 different carbonized plant fibers, looking for a carbon filament for his light bulb. By concentrating and inventing a whole lighting system rather than just a single light bulb, Edison succeeded where others had failed.

Now that’s what I call persistence!

As Calvin Coolidge once said:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not – Nothing is as more common than the
unsuccessful man with talent.
Genius will not – The unrewarded Genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not – The world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and persistence alone is Omnipotent.”

This isn’t rocket science, so you don’t need to be educated to succeed in this industry by having all kinds of letters after your name. All you need to be is persistent.

It would also help if you had a mentor with the primary purpose of assisting you in creating your success.

Until next time, I am
