Fantastic article, Chase. We all take chances with our finances everyday of the week and not knowing it. Each day, not spending or investing smartly is a loss of value much more noticeable later part in life.
Immersed in countless hours of research as part of my book project I constantly questioned why some people or even companies are doing so much better than other.
I just wrote this today:
"Human beings, ranked in the highest order within the animal kingdom, are gifted with a powerful capability and urge to combine their efforts and strength in organized groups, thereby developing ingenious ways and complex technology in the utilization of resources from their environment for the accomplishment of a wide variety of collective, as well as individual goals. As a whole our combined efforts, through serving in organizations, have been extremely successful in bringing civilization to what we know as the modern world today. They have constantly made progress in many material things which they seek to achieve, such as better standard of living, growth in their companies, and improved technologies. But both as an individual, as a group, and as a company, some have done significant better than others."
Why? Perhaps it has a lot to do with the way we take chances, our ability to work as a team in the most productive ways to attain common goals, and the utilization of resources available to us. And much more, of course. I thought the timing of Chase article was an interesting coincident. Great job, Chase.
Thank you very much!
Your writing today of people coming together in strong organized groups, reminds me of a 'group building' exercise from years ago. Everyone was asked a series of rather difficult random questions. As individuals, they were each only able to answer a few of the questions correctly. When the group was told to combine all their answers, there was only a few of the questions that weren't answered correctly by someone.
I received a message last night from a member of another community that was so touching, it convinced me that there are enough hardworking, selfless, trustworthy, generous, grateful people here to make this industry succeed. If everyone in this industry was like this person, we'd be half way there!
Thank you Alan and Joe for having faith in me and allowing me to contribute in the building of this empire!
2016 is going to be a great year!
Happy New Year!
