A Corporate Cause Is Its Solution

The best way to stop a child from crying is to distract them, occupying their mind with new stimuli. The best way to get attention is to do something outlandishly unexpected. The quickest path to wealth is to have an ingenious idea that becomes virally popular. When the U.S. joined in World War II, the entire country came together in support of winning the war. Time and again, the solution to major issues, or a seemingly insurmountable problem has been a novel concept (new idea), or a Cause greater than the sum of its parts, or ideally both. I’m sure you can think of many more examples, even stronger than these. The point is that we see only as we focus, but that focal power can be enough to change the world, given a Cause plus new ideas.

By the same token, focus can be blinding, paralyzing, or even disastrous. Consider the metaphor of the child learning to ride a bicycle. Suddenly the child has a front tire caught in a rut or trough and begins to fall. The temptation is to focus in the direction of the fall, which causes a crash instead of focusing the other direction (a new stimulus/idea), bringing the bike upright and back into balance. Once again, we see only as we focus.

In the world of modern business, a company must be flexible and open minded in its operational philosophy and overall approach, lest that business subsist or fail entirely. This flexibility means more than simply adapting to changing economic factors; it means a willingness to reexamine any or all business practices, from sales and marketing to all aspects of operations; it means listening and hearing as well as measuring and planning. Some enemies of flexibility are closed minds, a focus on the bottom line only, managerial incompetence, and selective blindness.

A healthy corporation that is indeed flexible and open to change must achieve balance, boundaries, exactness, perhaps genius-level ideas, and above all a genuine Cause, all of which bring about new focus, and a focal power that creates a winning combination for the company, as well as its adopted Cause.

When I was a child, I loved to watch a professional plate spinner entertaining a crowd. The plate spinner would balance multiple plates, each at the end of a stick, and keep adding more sticks with spinning plates, keeping them all balanced. The balance between gravity and centrifugal force would eventually win over the plate spinner and finally plates would begin to fall. I always mused that the plate spinner was a good metaphor for life; we rush around trying to keep all of our “plates” spinning (balanced), but it tends to become too much too fast, and we must reduce our spinning plates.

According to a current definition in Wikipedia, “balance” in the metaphysical or conceptual sense is defined as follows:
“balance is used to mean a point between two (or more) opposite forces that is desirable over purely one state or the other…” Sounds reasonable.

But as the plate spinner metaphor illustrates, balance is not achieved without boundaries. We achieve balance in all aspects of our lives by selecting exact limitations. Boundaries come from exactness, from limiting scope through a highly selective process. Another useful metaphor is the gymnast on the balance beam: without exactness of movement through limitation of scope, she forfeits balance and falls. Her highly selective process of developing balance is called practice.

Now I want to relate boundaries, exactness, and balance to an overused – in fact obsolete – concept called “networking” and “networks”.

Networks and networking – at their core – are designed to compound or multiply effectiveness or results through the power of multiple people and the resources of those in the network. The terms networking and networks are obsolete not only because they have become buzzwords, stretched and pulled into whatever shape is desired, but also because networks and networking typically means few limitations, the more the merrier, a shotgun effect. Most often the results of any given network are a function or reflection of the sheer numbers involved in that network. In this model there are intrinsic side effects, including chaos, lack of focus, lack of defined structure, lack of unity, and so many more negatives.

To achieve the highest levels of effectiveness and the strongest results, a network must have clearly defined boundaries and balance…it must be exact! In an Exact Network, each member is selected or recruited based upon their particular expertise, talent, and necessary contribution. In an Exact Network, the members are defined according to the essential and critical function that each serves within the network. One “macro” example of an Exact Network is government, although over time it has become a bureaucracy as opposed to a highly effective Exact Network. A better example is the hand picked executive team of a well-respected corporation, all focused on a coalition of goals and results. But even this is often times missing crucial elements in planning, execution, and vehicle for achievement.

The best imaginable results and desired return means Uber success, or the best possible success that can be imagined, nothing could be better. Therefore, an Exact Network that is focused on a coalition (unified and defined) of goals and results, is the best way to achieve “Uber Success”, provided they have an effective vehicle to reach their destination.

We create the opportunity for pure GENIUS, when we Generate Exact Networks to Institute Uber Success. Further, if such an Exact Network is provided with a clearly defined and entirely structured vehicle for attaining the goals of the Exact Network, the guaranteed result is uber success. I suggest that this vehicle is “Neologic Omnipotent Workshops” (NOW); a succession of goal-oriented, structured, pre-defined “workshops” wherein the most current ideas (Neologic), and all imaginable variables (Omnipotent) are entertained within pre-defined, structured workshops.

Focus, focal power, balance, boundaries, genius ideas / events, and a great Cause will grant a corporation uber success, and empower a Cause to create the miracle of change.

The result of all this is “G.E.N.I.U.S. NOW: The Mastermind Blueprint”, which is a guaranteed method for any business, group, or organization to easily achieve genius-level events, balance, boundaries, extreme focus, and Uber Success for their organization or group. This new e-book, will become a true groundbreaker when it is “discovered”. Right now it is too new and therefore unknown. Get your copy now and learn everything necessary to achieve uber success, leaving behind any past failures and negative economic conditions. There is nothing more to buy; this is the real deal, revealing all the details of this “genius” method for unimaginable success.

Balance, Boundaries, Exactness, Genius, and Success: A Magical Combination

Success and Assertiveness / Aggression

Some twenty years ago I received a poignant letter from my father that described his “mid-life crisis” and his final acceptance of his lot in life. The content of the letter did not surprise me, but did confirm ponderings I had considered many times. I’ll come back to this letter later.

My father is by no means an aggressive or assertive person; humility, selflessness, and altruistic diligence seem to be his mantra. I have the deepest respect for his talent, his principles, and his integrity. First and foremost, he is an abstract acrylic artist, professionally practicing his craft at least 50 years (to view his work click here). Aside from that, his distinguished career has been teaching Fine Art on the college level since before I was born (I think his first teaching position was officially in 1960 or 61). I can absolutely attest with confidence that anyone who knows my father would agree that he is not an aggressive and assertive individual.

Back to the letter and his mid-life crisis. He wrote that he had experienced some depression surrounding his chosen profession and the making of his artwork. You see he knew without doubt that he was an excellent teacher. Throughout his career he had received letters from past students sharing accolades for his teaching ability, as well as exceptional year-end reviews every year he taught. The dilemma was this: he had not gained the audience he had hoped for, or perhaps dreamed of, for his artwork; he knew he was a competent teacher, but wanted to have the same confidence about his art. In my mind, his personal definition of success included wide recognition as an accomplished and appreciated artist. Although admittedly I am/was biased, I have always adored his artwork and in my earlier years did not understand why he had a limited audience.

As my worldly experience grew, I came to have an informed opinion on the matter. It was not my father’s artwork that lacked some quality or appeal; it was my father’s principles or personal integrity that held back all possibility for large-scale exposure to his artwork. I still believe that if he had large-scale exposure – meaning some influential advocates working on his behalf – his artwork and his ultimate confidence in artistic accomplishment would be realized. But alas, my father is not aggressive and would not take steps to “play the game” of artist fame. Even if he were aware of the various compulsory activities for reaching a large audience for his art, he did not (and would not) even consider hiring another individual to work (aggressively or assertively) in his stead. In my opinion, the years have flown by with many “missed opportunities” because of the lack of aggressive / assertive aptitude. And yet, I admire his principles of integrity.

The story about my father brings to light a legitimate point: most often – and I cannot think of exceptions – success requires assertive aggression in order to be realized and maximized. My father’s values dictate that aggression is not something he can do in good conscience. My take on the matter is that assertive aggressive behavior is indeed a necessary tool for success, but only when practiced within one’s value set and principles of integrity. We must act aggressively or assertively on behalf of the goodness in our heart. Oh, and to my Dad I say: “You need not be aggressive nor have a huge audience for your art! You are a huge success in my book!”

A Truly Novel Approach to Success

So much has been written about success. So many success programs, books, CDs, and other media exist on the subject. A Google search (10/21/2009) on the keyword “success” returns over 312-million results. The term is like one tiny star in the cosmos. I think it’s safe to say that ‘success’ is/has been an over-used word throughout our human world and throughout (recorded) history. It’s also fair to say that success means something different for each and every person, and yet most would agree that a simple and accurate definition might be: to obtain a desired result (or results).

Perhaps Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993) was among the first of the modern-day success gurus with his “Power of Positive Thinking” work (circa 1956). And today we have success consultants, coaches, lecturers, and millions more people who make their living in one fashion or another from/on the subject of success. In just my amazing lifespan (I’m 47), the technology boom has been so overwhelming that it has made the world smaller in many senses, and yet so much more confusing because of all the voices that are now heard, and the resulting information overload. But success has not changed, in and of itself; only the terms of measurement are ever-changing.

I remember thinking as a troubled teenager: why is there no ‘owner’s manual’ for living a successful life? I would ponder being alone in a cold world; born unto role models, teachers, and influencers, and yet ultimately we must invent our own ‘success manual’ for living. My brother used to accuse me of thinking too much, but my internal response was to say: is that such a bad thing? An extension of much of my early thoughts was to be in awe of the humility of life; the more I learned, the more I realized how little I truly knew. Further, there was the wish that I were somehow smarter than I am…and I admit to that wish even now. As time progressed I studied these success gurus and motivational experts. It was then that a success manual did emerge from my thoughts.

As I’ve noted, the body of work on the subject of success is nearly limitless. Therefore it must be hubris to suggest that I have something of value to add to the issue of human success. If that is true, I really don’t care! I will offer it anyway! But I do not believe that I have nothing of value to add! In fact, what I have developed and refined is a six-step system that virtually guarantees success and abundance in all areas of life, and the ability to maintain success over a lifetime! Every once in a while something special and unexpected comes along. True, not very often does something new appear on the scene, but it certainly happens. Yes, even though it might seem that success is an exhausted, and exalted subject, I have assembled in detail the exact six steps that are necessary to achieve lifelong success.

The book is entitled: “Lifetime Success in 6 Simple Steps”. It is my sincere belief – as the result of decades of study – that this is a novel approach, encompassing the very best of what is known about the components of success, and combining that knowledge into simple, logical, and progressive steps that ensure sustained success. I invite you to check it out for yourself. You have everything to gain! Someday, it would be great to feel as if my contribution to the subject of success did indeed help a pondering teen, or anyone that honestly wants abundance in life!

Too Good To Be True?

What I’m about to write will admittedly sound like sales hype. I don’t see any way around it. But I will be plain and simple. Every word that I will share is truth. Everything I do, everything I write, everything I am, I believe in doing with truth, quality, and most of all integrity. I absolutely guarantee what I say and will back it all the way. I invite you to call me with your questions, and I will add my direct (mobile) number near the end! You can also DM me on Twitter and I will absolutely respond.

So here it is. I have discovered a method (stemming from 2 concepts that I conceptualized years ago) for any organization or business to easily create a “genius-level event” (or several events), resulting in huge revenue increases, a renewed, diamond-and-Teflon image, incredible name/brand recognition, and unimaginable ancillary returns. In fact, if every business were to use GENIUS NOW, there would be no recession, and chances are that all of our charities would see huge gains as well. I kid you not! This is everything I claim it to be.

My method, called: G.E.N.I.U.S NOW: The Mastermind Blueprint has no fluff, and is only 40-pages in length. If I were to spell out the details right here, nobody would have the need to purchase the book! But I also recognize, of course, that no one will pay for an unknown book from an unknown author! So I am willing to do something very special. But before I go there, let me add that GENIUS NOW is complete; there is nothing more to buy, and no gimmicks or scams of any kind involved.

Because I need people to read GENIUS NOW, and obviously I need endorsements and people to help promote this wonderful piece, I am willing to let some very select individuals download and view it absolutely free. I only need to be convinced that you are the CEO or one of the head decision-makers of your organization. I say this NOT because I want to sell you something, but because it is most likely that only a “project originator” will be able to use this method readily. And, I will only do this for a short time. After all, I need to make a return as well. You can email me (kurt@thedudebrands.com), or DM me on Twitter (TheDudeBrands), or call me directly (508) 826-2345 and I will talk to you. I can be found on TheDudeBrands.com, Facebook, and Linked-in as well.

Once again, GENIUS NOW is a complete, honest method for any group, business, or organization to create a genius-level event (or several such events) and realize “uber success”. To these statements I will add: every once in a while – and not very often indeed – a very special item comes along that defies being “too good to be true”.
