Your rich life can be defined in a plethora of ways depending upon your perspectives on life. For some it is only defined as substantial income. For others, it is the breadth and depth of other aspects of life that defines life’s richness.
A friend of mine suggested that a better, richer life should include reevaluating the attitudes of the people who whom I associate, and the messages to which I am exposed from all sources. Via the broadest definition of the term, misogyny is the hatred of persons of the female gender.
Race is a central issue in our nation and our communities. Even when we don’t give voice to it, bigotry is present and critical, but unspoken.
There are times of national awareness such as during the violence in Los Angeles, CA in 1992, tensions following the court case verdicts regarding famous athletes and actors, or in cases when minority individuals (particularly minors) are in a media spotlight. At these times, the country’s bigotry transfixes all of us. But, when the media redirects its focus, our public acknowledgement of these issues tends to recede. . . .
I could use a ½ billion dollar Federal loan. Apparently my business does not even need to be solvent if it is energy-related. I will contact the President’s office and let him know that the Department of Energy should consider this proposal a “slam dunk.” My guinea pigs and their paper cage linings can be composted to create a highly renewable energy rich fuel source. I don’t know about the timeline on ROI, but the GPs poop is voluminous and reliable. They can do much better than Solyndra did at putting out the product; remember them?
The plutocrats wonder why the masses are staging “Occupy XYZ” rallies around the country. The occupants don’t have a national, integrated, cohesive agenda, but neither have they stolen a ½ billion dollars from the taxpayers and asked Wall Street CEOs to pay for it.
Consider starting your own alternative energy business. It might not be as good as GP poop, but the DOE may be intellectually-challenged enough to give one of you a ½ billion dollars. Then you can really live a rich life.

I want to join the Circus. My last job was the Office Manager for a busy clinical practice. I opened the office, turned on all lights, and got all general use office equipment up and running. I started coffee pots, turned off call-forwarding. I did the head count, assessing the presence of support staff, ready and healthy. I intermittently assured that all office equipment was functioning, supplies continued to be adequate, maintenance was being performed on schedule and budget, new projects in progress, teams on task. There are a number of additional tasks that I performed throughout the day, every day. Do you think “being capable of multi-tasking” translates into “juggler”?
For all of you out in the job market, remember that your past work does not have to match the job that you are pursuing. You simply have to represent your past experiences in a manner that demonstrates that your skills and experience should serve effectively in a new work environment. Don’t sell your skills short, redirect them.

Our economy has recently demonstrated that great resumes and famous family pedigrees do not guarantee high performance of individuals or organizations filled with such persons. In fact, the question may be “Are these people and businesses really in touch with Mainstreet’s Average Joe who makes up the majority of America?” They are surely not pointing you the way to getting a rich life. There comes a time when the big ideas, sophisticated underlying mathematical model foundations created by multiple-degree holding wunderkind may not provide the answers or demonstrate that they adequately represent the masses that need to be served. Such is true not only for individuals, but also for businesses and governing bodies. When someone steps into your business, what does it say to them?
If you can answer all the above questions in an affirmative manner and demonstrate a history of such, then you have a quality business resume.

Although price is key, presentation is everything. My father likes to say “Even filet mignon doesn’t look appealing served on a trash can lid.”
For example, high end real estate has been selling just as slowly as everything else. However, the marketing can be very unique, including onsite food, entertainment, foot massage, small gifts, coupons for free services, excursions or events, etceteras. Of course, the content and cost of staging products and services has to be consistent with the nature of the product and the cost of the goods and services being sold; the expected ROI has to make sense.
Internet marketers frequently perform promotions by offering other, complementary products free of charge as funnels into the more expensive items. Unfortunately, you often have no idea if the “freebies” are contemporary, will work for you or if they would be something that you would pursue independently. Unlike the food and foot massage described above, the marketers “gifts” usually complement purchases versus precede them without purchase obligations.
Whether you are marketing yourself, products, services, recognize that even being in your presence and your atmosphere should bring a richness to that moment of life and seem like a “benefit without cost” to prospective employers, clients and new customers.

I scanned outside at the skyline, a sunny day of 70 degrees. The air is sweet, smelling of leaves and bark chafing off the fallen branches. The soft breeze from the bay too distant to touch still carries tones of salt. At least I know such would be the case were I to arise, moving away from this monitor and pass through the nearby doorway. I work incessantly for the the sliver of freedom during which to allow myself a moment outside to enjoy that which is there and would cost me nothing if I were to so much as arise and enjoy it. I have been at this for too many seasons to count. The system has conspired to keep me at the plow suggesting that by attending to my yoke I may be assured a future of leisure, of getting a rich life. But, I can hear the sounds of nature beckoning as I recollect those formative years, running through unkempt fields all day without tethers to smartphones. We floated the streams in our little boats, with only the sounds of occasional rushing water, not rushing cars. We played baseball in open lots and football in the dirt. The treats at the end of the day were purely delicious, the cool water fresh from clear plastic bottles (psych), rather from the end of the hose that we all passed around.
Don’t let any of that get away. It costs little to get out of your cubby, putting distance between you and that internet hot spot, and away from the monitor that is displaying a magnificent 3D sim. You don’t want images of a nearly real world. Talk to a friend, don’t text her. Call a friend, don’t email him. Go see friends, don’t webcam them. However, we’re not yet acquainted, so you can “follow” us. Otherwise . . . get up from your monitor and stop reading this. “Life is happening out there. Get in it.” Liive it up and get a rich life.
Did you get job-hunting training in high school? Presuming that you actually wished to work, it is possible that at some time in your past you might have considered showing up for your interview at Super Burger wearing a funny hat and a color-matched . . . . .
It can be expensive to hire and train new personnel. As such, the sooner a company finds the right new candidate, the lower their associated costs. If you are offered an interview, the job is “yours to gain or lose.” That means you passed the test on paper, so present well and get your job offer.
