C22-23. Joseph Templin Everyday Excellence

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Joe Templin, on air from June 7th

Every day, we either get a little worse or a little better, and the natural tendency is to decline.  Yet if we invest a few minutes consistently every day, we can slowly and continuously improve (Human Kaizen) and ultimately end up in a good place.

Excellence is a habit. Habits need to be acted upon daily. Every day we have to fight the entropy of age, the creeping chaos of the world. Each day we must make the investment of time and energy, just to maintain where we are relative to inflation, progress, and our own dreams.

If we invest just a bit more of ourselves than that minimum, we can improve daily. Slowly, inexorably, polishing the jewel that is us. It is the little daily sacrifices and choices that compound over years and decades to make us priceless sparkling multifaceted works of nature and nurture. So today, make the better choices. That’s all you have to do. Just do what you should, today.

RICH’S LATEST BOOK

Cybersecurity is not a one size fits all solution; therefore, security must be tailored to the needs of the individual. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with rational business processes by which they can understand what information is important, and why. “The Alchemy of Information Protection” was specifically written for:
1. The non-cybersecurity executive or business owner who wants to gain an understanding of their role in the protection of the company’s information assets.
2. The person in the company who is tasked with creating and maintaining a cost-effective program to protect the company’s information assets.
3. The Chief Information Security Officer who may be reminded of some points where they can improve their programs.

BB22-18 Derek Bullen. WEALTH BUILDS CIVILIZATIONS

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Derek Bullen, on air from May 2rd

Are the rich bad for society? The author of this book, a successful Canadian entrepreneur who made his fortune and created 3000 jobs, has written a manifesto celebrating the achievements of people who have earned their wealth. He says that many of the critics are overlooking one crucial thing: we need business people to build companies and generate wealth to keep the economy going. That’s the only way to generate the wealth that pays for government services like health and education.

Hard to Feel Empathy for the Rich? Here’s Why.
The Poor Will Always Be With Us…By Derek Bullen
If you don’t know us, you won’t understand us. Few people have a frame of reference for the tremendous amount of work entrepreneurs and wealth creators do. The long hours, dedication, and need to succeed must be similar in many ways to an athlete working hard to turn their talent into a career. There are multiple misconceptions about the rich. The first thing most people don’t know is that you cannot become rich without paying most of the money you make to everyone else first. Take Amazon as an example. In 2020, the value of Amazon increased by $570 billion on paper. Jeff Bezos owns about 10 percent, so his net worth, from the company he created and founded, increased by $57 billion. At the same time the remainder, $513 billion (just over half a trillion dollars!) was created for everyone who is a shareholder in Amazon. There are individual shareholders but 60.7 percent of Amazon is owned by institutions like banks, pension funds, labor unions, and governments.  Companies and other institutional investors own Amazon. When you get a loan for a car, a pension as a teacher, or home insurance after a fire, there’s a little bit of Amazon wealth making each transaction possible. 

Another myth is that the rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes. The rich actually pay most of the taxes in society. In the USA, about $1.6 trillion is brought in each year through the taxation of the population. The top 1% of earners pay 40% of the $1.6 trillion, more taxes than the first 90 percent! That’s right, 90% of the population of the USA is getting a free ride on their taxes courtesy of the 1%! In fact, in a typical year, 44% of the population pays no federal income tax, however in 2021 57% of American earners did not pay federal income tax. If the 1% were incentivized to leave, the USA would lose funding for 40% of the roads, schools, military, infrastructure, and other government services we all enjoy.

Hard to believe for some, but CEOs are fairly paid for the work they do. In 2020, CEOs in the top 350 firms in the U.S. were paid on average $24.2 million, including all options. In the same year they created billions in wealth for society. Although $24.2M sounds like a hefty payday, it is paltry compared to the $230 million on average earned by top musicians, and $280 million on average earned by top athletes.  Being a CEO is like being the chef and host of a large dinner party. You invest the money in groceries, hire workers to cook and prepare a wonderful meal for everyone. Then, once everyone is fed and paid, consuming most of what you made, you get a plate for yourself. Mainstream media then comes and criticizes you for making and eating a meal while ignoring the thousands you fed first.

French economist Thomas Picketty wrote an epic essay citing the wealth inequality gap as the main cause of poverty. Mainstream media was instantly fascinated by the idea. The accusation sells papers! In the last decade, articles on poverty in the USA have only increased by 26%, despite it being a major issue. In the same timeframe, articles about wealth inequality increased 533%. These articles are misinformed. The rich don’t take money from the poor. Wealthy people generate wealth and opportunities for others. Poverty is a key societal issue in its own right. There will always be those among us who are poor, some can’t work, and others won’t work. Jesus tells us in the Bible that there will always be the poor among us. However, when the rich get richer, fewer of our neighbors are poor. The business of creating wealth lifts over 50 million people a year out of extreme poverty. 

The world only had 15 billionaires in 1980 and the percentage of the global population living below the poverty line was sadly at 45 percent.  Today with nearly 3,000 billionaires globally, global poverty has been reduced to 22 percent and the trend continues downward. More prosperity leads to a longer life too. In the same timeframe poverty dropped in half, average lifespan went up from 61 to 73 years. Child mortality was cut in half too. Whether you are poor or rich or somewhere in between, If you can work, you should work. It provides a sense of purpose and develops financial independence.  A job matters. It is what we talk about first when we meet someone new. We apply our potential to the work in front of us, and in exchange, we get paid. For many of us, our work is a meaningful exchange of energy. We spend the majority of our day working. It’s important to work because wealth is an equal opportunity game. In 1984, fewer than half the people on the Forbes 400 list of richest people were self-made. Most of them had inherited their wealth. Today, two-thirds of the billionaires made their money from scratch in their lifetime. With technology, information, and global connectivity, wealth is a possibility open to anyone who has the talent and wants to work insanely hard for a prolonged period of time.

BB22-10 Ben Albert, “I decided to take 5 steps forward”.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Ben Albert, on air from March 8th

When Covid hit I was furloughed from work, I found myself down and out, staring at an empty handle of Jim Bean Whiskey, opened this laptop I’m typing on right now, and started reaching out to strangers on Linkedin.  The rest is history.  Now I host 5 podcasts, run a massively successful marketing firm, and have replaced my sales executive income in just over a year.

I stumbled into a form of networking I now have coined “The CAN System,” and today it’s my mission to get the knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it.  With “CAN,” my success story becomes the norm.  You can do it too.  

I’m Ben Albert; regular name, regular guy. LET’S COLLABORATE!

That’s why I’m here. I am committed to overachieving in my role and do things right. I provide whatever is necessary to help your business GROW!
