I submit for your immediate and most serious consideration, the following:
You must either take command or be trampled. Difficult times are here, and tougher times are ahead. People will be running scared -- either after other people (who don't know where they're actually going) or toward a capable protector -- a corporate conglomerate, a
military-industrial complex, a charismatic
hacktivist... any port in the proverbial storm. And the clouds are gathering. There is a growing leadership crisis and a
funnel cloud of a
power vacuum in its wake.
It's time for a review of what this blog is about:
...self-mastery,
goal-setting, strategic
decision making, leadership,
contingency planning, implementation, acquiring and retaining human resources, leveraging assets, rule and domination, gaining and holding territory, empire-building, choosing allies, dealing with enemies, assessing risk, time management,
team-building, negotiation... achieving authority, influence, wealth and success through total TRANSFORMATION.

Remember: "People who constantly call "realists" "pessimists" are not optimists -- they are merely fools, and the people to avoid following.
