A Bad Economy is the Perfect time to start over!

My first six months in Wisconsin were interesting to say the least. Ryan Paugh and I lived on $1,000 a month in a beat up old house on the East Side of Madison. We worked from home, we rarely went out, we fought with each other, we fought with Penelope, and we watched the snow pile up on the cold Wisconsin ground month after month.
By all accounts, it was pretty terrible. I was used to having lots of friends, going out all the time, and counting on a good paycheck to come in every other week.
But then we raised some money. We took bonuses, we got regular paychecks, we hired people, we rented an office, and I moved in to a nice place with my brother and bought a flat screen TV. It was great. It was comfortable.
It was boring.

Any true entrepreneur will tell you that the best time in the life of a start up is the beginning. You work tons of hours and you can’t wait until you’re funded because that’s when you’ll be able to do the things you really want to do.
But once you get funded, the headaches just begin, and it starts to feel like a “real job.” It’s easy to get comfortable, to forget about all the hard work you put in before there was cash in the bank. And strangely enough, you end up wishing you could go back to the beginning or sell your company and start a new one.
Rather than being completely focused on the company, I found myself walking down the street, sometimes nostalgic about the little apartment Ryan and I lived in and sometimes dreaming about our big exit and all the money that would come with it.
Then, before we even realized what was happening, the market crashed, investors pulled back, and we didn’t have salaries anymore. The whole company had gotten too comfortable; we weren’t prepared to handle the downturn.
But oddly enough, three months later, things are going really well. We made a decision to switch up our business model and bring in revenue any way possible. Every dollar we make is treated like gold, we’ve managed to cut our burn rate by nearly 50% without losing any productivity, and we’ve realized just how many ways there are to make money, without begging someone for a multimillion dollar investment
I’m confident that we’re going to make it through, and I’m convinced that when Brazen Careerist does end up a success, we will have George Bush to thank (Did I really say that?). The recession allowed us, or some might say forced us, to reevaluate and start over.
In a way, I did get my wish, Brazen is like a brand new start up, except we have a site that’s already built, we have founders who have all done this part before, and we have a whole army of people that want us to succeed.
I’ve learned a lot from this whole experience, both personally and professionally. Difficult situations are the best learning opportunities; when things are good it’s very difficult to see how you can improve. But when times are tough you have the opportunity to make difficult, life-altering decisions. Great businesses and great leaders embrace difficult situations and thrive when times are tough.
The question is, when adversity is staring you in the face, will you get comfortable, or will you embrace the adversity and emerge stronger than ever.

Attract Desired Relationships-Careers With Unseen Forces

"Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are." - Neils Henrik David Bohr (1885-1962) Danish physicist - Nobel Prize for Physics - 1922.Creativity and imagination are masterful tools often underutilized in tapping into the results you seek. Most of us get hooked on the doing of things, which often keeps us stuck in the familiar. When faced with a dilemma of which direction to go, accessing your imagination elicits the genius within you. However, there is a prerequisite in the deal to bring forth amazing results: Inspiration (aka, energy field, intuition, gut feeling, spiritual guide).When you allow inspiration to be a guide, you are combining forces unseen by the naked eye. The world is composed of energy transmitting vibrational frequencies. George Meek in his book, "After We Die What Then?" explains that the form of all matter depends on the level of vibrational frequency. To illustrate, he explains the changing frequencies of water. Water changes from ice to liquid, to steam, to an invisible vapor as the temperature of the water changes. The vibrational frequency of the water is also changing. The heavy density of ice has a very low frequency; while the invisible water vapor with a lesser density contains a higher vibrational frequency, which is no longer distinguishable by the human eye.The frequency most of us rely on is the denser vibration of our five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. Combine the energies of higher inspirational frequencies with denser vibrations to allow the genius in you the space to develop your imagination and creativity to get the results you are seeking.Inspiration is spiritual intelligence available 24/7 - around the clock. What happens to most of us is we try to solve problems with the denser frequency of our brain. The irony is that logic comes from inspiration. The less we utilize the energy available to each of us from the unseen energy of imagination, the more limitation we put on the availability of our potential. We are beings of energy. Integration of the higher frequency of imagination and the denser frequency of physicality produces awareness to unlimited potential.Albert Einstein, Carl Jung, Marie Curie, William James, Mother Teresa, and Niels Bohr are great examples of human beings who were not limited by their five senses. Science is expanding its scope from the physical to quantum physics and vibrational medicine."New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who struggles with his problems in lonely thought and unites all his thought on one single point which is his whole world for the moment." - Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck (1858-1947) - German physicist considered founder of quantum theory.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Questions Hold the Answers: In the Flow to Bigger Results *1. What is it you want to strive for?2. Why do you want it?3. What is so important about it?4. How would you feel if you were to succeed?5. What is the distinction between inspired action and shoulds?6. Can you feel the difference from inspired action and an action commanded by a should?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Tips to Using Unseen Forces to Attract Your Wants *1. Visualize something you want to achieve that inspires you. Shoulds are negative vibrations.2. Remember to integrate vibrational frequencies of higher and lower densities.3. Keep your vision alive by putting it on paper, on your computer, on your nightstand. This creates an escrow of vibrations attracting what you want closer to you.4. Make up a name for your vision, such as "Millionaire in Action" or "Beautiful Home" or "Dream Vacation /Job", etc.5. Dare to challenge your imagination by asking, "What if?"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Inspired visions create positive energies fields creating flow and reducing stress."Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained." - Maria Sklodowska-Curie (1867-1934) - First woman awarded a Nobel in 1903 for Physics B became the first person to win two with the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.Remember - Anything is Possible!
