A Few Random Thoughts on Business

A Few Random Thoughts on Business

I have more important things to focus on, so I avoid gossip, rehashing old events, or engaging with so-called experts who, at their core, are as clueless as a Valley Girl named Barbie or a boy named Ken. Instead, I seek out conversations with those who are genuinely excited about their big bets on big ideas—what I call "BBOBIs." When someone's passion for their BBOBI rivals that of survival or faith, they have my full attention.

But let's be clear: the "cult of never giving up" can be as dangerous as the fear of missing out (FOMO). There’s a fine line between perseverance and reckless stubbornness. While theories can inspire, they are not facts. I deal in facts and figures, and I value helping each other understand the difference.

Pairing enthusiasm with a "let's get it done before the sun goes down" attitude is key. However, a scorched earth approach to business often leaves one standing on barren soil that won’t grow anything for years. That’s why, when I invest, I invest in people. Ideas are important, but taking action to develop and execute those ideas is everything.

It's also about building relationships with those who, like me, are committed to unlocking potential and driving revenue growth—ethically and effectively. Yes, these are just a few random thoughts, but if you're someone for whom business is a lifestyle, like it is for me, this short prose should connect a few dots.

In essence, I am a lifestyle business where business is a lifestyle. It's been over 2,000 weeks, over 14,000 days, and over 335,000 hours since I adopted this approach and the "batting average" has been pretty good since hour one, day one, and week one.

Enough said.
