The Two Great Lies told to Entrepreneurs

There are two great lies told to entrepreneurs.  These lies are not intended to be hurtful or limiting but they are.  These lies are not intended to produce fear or doubt but they do.  These lies are based upon common understanding, tribal knowledge.  They are NOT based in fact or reality.

They are "The World is Flat" statements of the current age.  Widely accepted but just not true!

Lie #1 "It takes money to make money"  - I will explain why I feel this is not true in a later posting

Lie #2 "Build it and they will come"         - I will explain why I feel this is not true in a later posting

For now, let's say this. 

If you believe these statements are true then the Innovation President Obama calls for and we so greatly need cannot happen! 

If you believe these lies then you are destine to work for someone who does not believe these to be true.  If too many of us believe these statements then we as a people will serve someone else.  When we limit our options or chase poorly guided pursuits we give away or freedom one decision at a time.

I'm not ready to give up on freedom.  I refuse to believe the lies!

Congressional reform act of 2011

Interesting ideas, see more benefit than risk.

Sometimes necessary to re-set.

We do this when we have corrupt files maybe it helps with representatives too.  Just a thought!

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.   Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.   I'm asking you to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on your address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.   In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around.   Congressional Reform Act of 2011   1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below.   A. Two Six-year Senate terms   B. Six Two-year House terms   C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms   2.  No Tenure / No Pension.    A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.     3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.   All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.    4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.   5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.   6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.   7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.   8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.     The American people did not make the current contract with members of Congress.  Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.   Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.    If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.    MUCH OF WHAT WE FACE IN TERMS OF PRIVILEGE AND SELFISHNESS IN THIS COUNTRY MIGHT BEST BE CHANGED STARTING FROM THE TOP DOWN. If you agree with the above, pass it on.   If not, just delete   You are one of my 20. I INVITE YOU TO KEEP IT GOING. WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE -- THANKS!
