'Yaamp,' the manager of the Safecex exchange, posted in the troll box. Good sign. Watch this space.

And I am puddling along, reading here. Have shifted my tiny amount of trading to C-Cex, as Cryptopia's volume has been so low of late.

Excellent news to see the kickstarter up and running - with 6 pledges already! I've shared it on Facebook and in a couple of groups.

I might have an update on a video tomorrow - which I may make a couple of modifications to after receiving the first copy given a few of DNotes Global's advancements (including mentioning the name etc). Version 2 could serve as a great introduction to "DNotes Global".

Entering final 6 weeks of university, which is keeping me busy with my part-time job and small business. The book is immeasurably helpful and makes so much sense when one analyses what they want to be doing when comparing the short-term and long-term goals on the individual. It is very pleasurable to watch / be involved in a project from beginning to completion a long time later.

The cash crisis and speculative abandonment of the Euro is hardly surprising. When governments are not able to control their currency (which they never should anyway), it leaves fiscal policy (spending and taxes) as the only short term option to control their economic growth. This often has disastrous effects.


I really wish I could have had Alan's book when I started my first business, it would have saved me immeasurable amounts of time and money instead of learning the hard way. There is a feeling among small business owners that they have to reinvent the wheel when what they really need to do is repave the road. The book lays that out nicely and shows you where to turn or, maintain the course.

There are so many choices to considered and decisions to be made when your at the helm of a business, no matter what the size, that any sage advise is welcome. And, unlike many of the books out there on the subject, Alan lived it, breathed and embraced it. No price can be put on the knowledge gained from actually doing it, it's universal. 

Great job Alan!
 


"There is a feeling among small business owners that they have to reinvent the wheel when what they really need to do is repave the road."  Grin So true!

I think everyone should read this book. The principles apply to many aspects of everyday life, and if everyone applied some of them to their interactions with other people, projects they are working on, how they prioritize daily tasks, etc, there would be a lot more 'right' going on in their lives. The book is already on my best-seller list. Smiley

Getting some good coverage on the press release, it is definitely hitting new sources I don't recognize. Maybe that is a good sign.

Thank you RJF. Very well said. There are many valuable and relevant lessons for everyone, even just reading a few chapters. And I would venture to say that you do not even have to have an interest in business to learn from the book.

In effect, we are all an independent business by ourselves. Each of us is a subsystem interrelated to other subsystems within the sphere we operate. When all of our friends and family interact well as a whole system, we tend to do better. When there are issues, it affects every subsystem and weakens the whole system. Check it out. You may learn something very interesting from the book.

Don't count on good luck alone.
Lessons learned:

Following in the footsteps of my siblings, I started my own construction business right after I graduated from high school. Being a greenhorn, Lady Luck must have smiled on me, as I won a contract to construct a large reservoir to supply water for a city and ended up making my first million. Unfortunately, that led me to think that being successful in business would always be that easy. It wasn’t. For the next fifteen years, I struggled with larger and larger projects with as many as 200 employees; getting a little better after each lesson learned.

Trial and error is a very expensive process in business. Though I am doing well now, this book could have been of immense help to me earlier in life. It took me years to realize that great ideas, passion, hard work, and connections are not enough to succeed in business. The Four Pillars of Business Success is the most comprehensive and inspirational entrepreneur book ever published, and one that could have helped me avoid all the pitfalls and unnecessary mistakes that cost me so much time, money, and stress. This is a must-read book for any up and coming entrepreneur, and one that you’ll come to rely on in your own business endeavors.

The real significant and true value of the book may not be realized for years. It will be dependent on how fast we can get the word out to the right people. I certainly need every bit of help from you to help get the word out. Support the Kickstart campaign if you can. You can pledge as little as $5 and that will go a long way towards the success of the campaign. Not so much to sell more books but because I truly believe that the book is a source of much needed inspiration to new startups and entrepreneurs who can always use a helping hand. There is always a little more one can learn.

To be the best in any endeavor it takes a continuous and relentless commitment towards excellence. We all are capable of doing better than we may realize. And we can do even better as a team in unified efforts to achieve common goals for the best mutual benefits of everyone. In essence, that is what DNotes is attempting to accomplish. It goes way beyond getting the price of DNotes to go up so that we can cash in before others. DNotes' real value will be reflected as a currency with a purpose that can only be accomplished over the long term with mass participation.  

Be sure to check out the book. It is especially helpful for many young entrepreneurs to learn early that a business is much like a champion sports team. It takes a lot more to win the championship than just having a few star players. You can learn a great deal more from the book as to what else matters to be the consistent winner. I simple do not believe that success in business is an accident or a lucky draw. If it is you will most likely spend it all and struggle until you finally learn. Read the next post- a quote from Alex Yong. I am a witness to this true story.

This is a neat article, it would be good to hear more stories about everyday people using Bitcoin. That should help make the general population far less hesitant about cryptocurrency...



Third NH Bitcoin Vending Machine Launches in North Country

http://freekeene.com/category/update/

Many a liberty activist have made a pilgrimage to Twin Mountain Country Store as it has long been known as the only place in NH one can buy gasoline with bitcoin.  It’s also a shrine to liberty – the store is decked out with various liberty propaganda and signage.  Looking at all of it would take some time.  It’s a fun trip to make when in the White Mountains and now you have one more reason:  it’s the third public location of a Bitcoin Vending Machine in New Hampshire! (Keene and Manchester being the others.)

Store owner Bill Bochynski decided to install the “General Bytes” brand BVM, the same type found at Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester after seeing the unit in operation there. He cited the Keene BVM, operated by the Shire Free Church, as his original inspiration for adding a BVM to the North Country. When asked for comment, he quoted Black Swan author Nassim Taleb:

"Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative."

Bochynski thinks its important to bring easy access to bitcoin to the impoverished North Country, where the financial freedom bitcoin can bring could have a real positive impact.

You can visit the Twin Mountain BVM seven-days-a-week from 7am to Midnight. NH is still the only place in New England to feature a Bitcoin Vending Machine open to the public – and now we have three! NH’s bitcoin community just keeps getting better – when are you moving here?

Quote from: indiamikezulu on Today at 03:20:29 AM



‘ . . . the collapse of the single currency area and wider EU was believed by some to be a question of "when" not "if".’

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/05/04/even-small-crisis-enough-to-tear-eu-apart-moodys-warns/


Hmmm . . . I pulled the quotation below after the quotation above. Tee hee -- anyone wanna guess the manner in which the threat of huge fines will impact on the ‘when-or-if-ness’ of the Eurozone collapsing?

‘The European Union announced a plan to deal with a flood of asylum seekers, requiring member states to accept them under a quota system or face fines of €250,000 ($385,000) per migrant.’

http://www.smh.com.au/world/migrant-crisis/refugee-crisis-central-europe-told-settle-migrants-or-pay-385000-fine-per-person-20160504-gomli2.html


And do read just the paragraph that this quote is from:

‘ . . . we are not the only ones hitting the buffers . . . ‘

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/05/05/its-time-to-don-the-tin-hats-britain-the-economy-is-grinding-to/

Quote From Shepherd Today:

This is the gloomiest report yet. Most serious incidents in our history are the result of the built-up of many minor events or crisis.  A "small crisis" threatened to set off an uncontrollable chain of events that would "threaten the sustainability" of the EU and its institutions.

People are only willing to put up with a certain amount of pain and suffering for so long. Eventually something has to give. “… endless austerity demands in return for bail-outs had fuelled deep resentment across the region, especially in countries weighed down by sky-high unemployment.” This is now reaching a boiling point – a rather high risk.

"The risk of “accidents” remains high in a process that suffers from partial solutions and, increasingly, public skepticism,"

What is most troubling is that the rest of the world economy, with the exception of US, is struggling too. A major financial setback in Europe will have a very negative impact worldwide. The vast majority of US consumers are hanging in there by their finger-nails. Any prolonged economic retrenchment could be very pain to US as well.

https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/

We also have an update on the book preview.

https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/book-preview/

Press Release forthcoming.

Cryptocurrencies have been "backed by" gold, dope, horse urine, and even other cryptocurrencies.

However no other cryptocurrency has been backed by a real life revenue stream... until now. Chalk that up as another first for DNotes!

Thank you for your support and confidence in DNotes. We trust that the book will eventually be a significant revenue generator for the newly incorporated company, DNotes Global, Inc. which is 25% owned by all of DNotes stakeholders. This is a for profit company with a focus to expand DNotes ecosystem and technology advancement.

This is a unique strategy that, given time and success, could provide DNotes significant leadership opportunities in our industry. Above all, it will support the fundamental value of DNotes as the currency continues to appreciate. For more details, read Chapter 15 of the book, "The Four Pillars of Business Success" The DNotes Story.

Everything looks amazing and the endless hours of hard work is evident in the quality delivered! 

With a book this good, there will be no problem reaching this goal. 

CryptoMoms has tweeted.  Wink



Chase, thank you for the enormous support and encouragement you have been giving us. We are very appreciative of that. What inspires me everyday is the fact that there are people like us who recognize that a lot of business owners and their employees are struggling to keep their companies and their jobs, often time knowing that there is nothing left that they can do. They are often confronted with very few options, compounded with the fear that they could ended up loosing everything.

DNotes is a purposeful currency. Together with the book, I believe that we are now operating at a different level; one that will give us the tools, infrastructure, and credibility to reach out to the business communities and organizations to start making a difference.

We all need to work hard in getting the word out. I hope that many of you will join us in our efforts. Support our Kickstarter campaign if you can. Reach out to me if your business or someone you know that is in business needs help. Helping business to get better is what I am very passionate about.
