Hello World

Congratulations to my Nephew on the birth of his son. One of the most remarkable thing is the birth of a baby. Knowing how this little life you hold in your hands is so innocent and so dependant on you 24/7 for everything from feeding, clothing, bathing, to teaching them right from wrong. There are so many wonderful things you will be experiencing watching them develop into a young adult. You are guaranteed good times and bad time, hopefully more good times than bad. You will learn how to become a friend, mentor, doctor, psychiatrist, nutritionist, coach, teacher, and mostly a parent. You will pick them up when they fall, care for them when they are sick, comfort them when they cry, laugh with them when they are funny, comfort and support them when they are afraid. You will help them learn to roll over, crawl, walk, talk, sing, whistle and be there for them as they find a new interest to help develop there character. As they get older you will cry when they go to their first day of school, knowing that your once little child that was totally dependent on you, is now becoming a independent person. You will support them in all their school activities, sitting in the audience the expression on their face when they finally see you sitting there is priceless. You will help them with their school work, be excited for them when they have their first boy/girl dance, worry about them when they have there first boy/girl friend, and comfort them when they loose their first love. There is so much more you will be experiencing, it's just amazing how much one little person can change you life for ever. If I could give you any incite on raising a child, it would be to love them with all your heart and the rest will work itself out.

Thought on Big Business

Earlier this week my business partner Lucas and I were talking about big businesses, and that is when I decided to make my topic this week on big businesses.
In our conversation we discussed how big businesses didn't respect their employees, how they just treat them like a number and not a person. It's like they forgot what they were taught in business 101, "to get respect you have to earn respect".

That made me think of a time when I was working in a factory and every year we would have a job holders meeting, basically telling us the status of the company and what the future expectations of the company was.
During the meeting our CEO was not able to be there, so he made a video to be viewed by all employees. The thing that upset me the most was the way he started the video, his very first statement was "Cash Is King", that statement upset me so much that I don't think I will ever for forget it, at that time, I think he lost total respect from all the employees viewing the video.

We also discussed what we will do when we have our own big business. I told him that I would give back to the employees, because without them and the customers the company would not exist. I explained to him how I would give back 75% of the profits to the employees, because they are the ones doing all the work.

I have seen to many companies that don't think about the ratifications of what would happen if their employees decided to walk out on them. Would they be able to run the company then? Who would manufacture their products? Do they have enough managers, board members, and CEO's to do the work thier employees did? Maybe management should think about that next time they want to take from the employees.

Don't get me wrong not all big business are like that, but the ones that aren't like that, are vary scarce.

If you want to talk about this topic more leave me a message. I would be more than happy to reply.
