Are you being distracted

Many years ago, when JKL Associates launched we were more than pleased when revenues exceeded expenses.  It sounds simple but at the beginning without sales then no real business actually existed. To ensure survival the option existed to add multiple sources of income to the portfolio.  In other words, take any opportunity which…

Our society is bent on highlighting the various factions and their differences. Too much of this difference highlighting is to cause division rather than mutual understanding and appreciation. The journey we are all on in this great nation needs to bring focus on what we can learn from our past and take that into consideration to build a better future. Let’s build productive relationships so our culture can flourish for many years into the future.

Let’s Focus on Literacy

As business leaders we sometimes get so deep in the weeds of our business operations that we don’t take the time to lift our heads and look at the world around us. It is quite an interesting place when you give it a genuine look. For example, today is one of those fewer known days on the calendar….

Labor is NOT a Bad Word

As we approach Labor Day weekend in the US, we need to reflect on how labor is a contributing factor in the past, current and future best outcomes of this great nation. Rome was not built in a day, but fire destroyed it very quickly. Nor was this nation quickly formed but it to can be taken down very quickly if We The People don’t understand that we need to work together and labor for our freedoms.

Building the Ark

In this the 21st century we may not need to build the ark to deal with 40 days of rain or even the melting of the polar ice cap, but we may need a new type of ark to keep us safe from drowning in the sea of fallacies spread like flood waters on to each of us daily. In the story of the ark, people laughed at the building but then craved to be on the boat when the rains came. What are you doing to navigate the onslaught of fallacies which are flooding your mind?
