bnelson@partytentcity.comHi,
My goal is to help you become a good critic of your own business. I am very creative in helping you expand the opportunities you have in your business.
There are many things you can do to improve things. Most of the time I think OTB ( "Outside the Box"). Look at your environment. Most of the things you see were not there 30 years ago. Someone had to develop something different and convince others that it could be done. If Abraham Lincoln suddenly appeared at your dinner table to visit with you for a month today think of all the inventions that we how have since 1850 that he would have to learn how to use. CLICK on some things Honest Abe would have to be told what they are because the word was not even invented yet. Now is the time for your to use your ideas to make a difference. Click on the Inventions since 1850 that are underline to see a lot more information on these wonderful inventions. :

Here are a few examples of the "off the wall" things I think about. They don't rest well with most people but in this business doing my job well it is not a popularity contest. Getting people to think about change is very difficult.
1. Cars should be built starting with a safety cage first and the engine and everything else put in after. We lose 40,000 Americans a year because we collide with each other. As a culture we have never been super serious about it. (We got serious about terrorism when
we lost 3, 063 people on 9-11-01.) There are numerous reasons for this. We have to have new thinking using new technology like outside the car computer airbags. Cars are our number 1 cause of deaths among children. 1 car produces 2.7 billion cubic feet of poisonous air. We have no serious plan to attack this as a major problem.2. This year we lost over 8 million of acres to forest fires. We need to develop an entire new way to put them out quickly. We need a totally new way of thinking about putting out "out of control" forest fires. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
3. The stock market should be illegal as we know it today. "Enronitis" is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch the 6pm news. Legalized Gambling against a house with inside tracks. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem. Today to be a good investor you are supposed to hire someone who knows about all the companies in the USA and knows everything you need to know about that company. It just doesn't happen.
4. Most investors and advisors have no idea what they are doing. Just ask someone? Who do you trust? Investors have to learn to develop new ways to have control on their investments. If someone tells you they have a good place to invest your money, ask about the risk that you are taking. Ask about why they sincerely believe that where they are about to invest your money is the very best thing for you.
5. Churches usually do not operate based on the mission God directed us to in the Bible. There are churches that look good on the outside but lack a really fundamental biblical mission.
6. Fighting Terrorism has to start with an educational war against the thinking pattern of the terrorist. We are not even in the planning stage. A few well placed bombs are not going to make the terrorists come out of the tunnels with their hands up. A few terrorist acts at strategic location can terrorized the American public and put a large crimp on our very fragile economy. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
7. We have 14% of high school students who drop out and never finish their education. We don't have a clue why it is occurring and have no plans to change it. How about zero drop outs? We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
8. Internet Viruses can shut down our economy and we are not worried about it. Significant money has to be spent to control and monitor the internet before it paralyzes the entire economic structure. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
9. We have almost 2 million people in prison. At the middle of last year, prisons and jails held 1,860,520 adults. This is a 400 percent increase in the last 20 years. Something is wrong with our societal structure and we have no plan to identify the cause. 1 out of 147 Americans is in prison. Its costs us 41billion year. and we have no interest in determining how we can cut that number in half. We don't know why they are there. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
10. The war on drugs has to start with significant in depth attitude research. We are not even close to determining why drug buyers buy drugs. It is our society which we have to change. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem. 1 out of 3 people responsible for an auto accident showed up positive when tested for drugs.
11. Most surveys are useless. They simply don't find ask what is wrong or what is right.
They just ask a lot of questions to make it look professional.12. Nothing should be destroyed. Everything can be recycled. We expensively drown in
our own garbage. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.13. Our education system does not teach students how to critically analyze his situation
at the moment. We teach them to pass tests.14. 2 large steel ships running into each other at a slow speed with today's GPS technology
is ridiculous.15. Doctors know very little what is really wrong with you. In the future we will be using
computers with interactive questions to determine the cause of your medical problem.
The doctors will guide you and help interpret the findings.16. With GPS technology car theft will be a thing of the past.
17. Sending out half empty airplanes is a total waste. Billions of dollars of precious fuel is
wasted. Millions of people want to go for a very inexpensive trip. How about zero empty seats.
18. Deadheading of empty tractor trailer trucks is another total waste. Truckers will soon
balance this problems with better training and competitive marketing.19. Renewable energy like solar, wind, and bio mass power are not just an option. They are required and we are sooner or later going to figure that out. It will just take a little more research.We have no plan to attack this as a major problem. Click RenewableEnergyNow.com
Directory of Internet Information Call me about our free speakers bureau on this subject.20. Dental decay for the most part can be prevented. Just ask your dentist.
21. Complete retirement to doing nothing will kill you earlier than if you were continuing to be productive at something. Work is normal and a part of living. New statistics are available on keeping the body and the mind actively exercised.
22. Paying people to not work is a total waste of manpower.
23. Harboring criminals in prison doing nothing all day long with out aiding the GNP is a
waste of talent. Most criminals have some very good skills. Unfortunately like everyone else
the prisoner did whatever he did to get him into cell no. because it seemed to him to be a
good idea at the time. The ability to think clearly and logically has not been taught at the level where a child can reach is maximum potential. It is a shame that we have no plan to attack this as a major problem.
24. Suicide, can for the most part be prevented. We just don't seem to put a very great priority on trying to understand depression. We are almost afraid to talk about it as it might become a self fulfilling prophecy. Our society is oriented toward achievement and success so that we judge ourselves on a false sense of values.25. Paying farmers to NOT grow things is waste available resources when there are people starving to death around the world.
26. Like it or not we are a one world economy. We have to realize that we don't want to be and we are not an isolated society. We are intermingled with the world and isolationism is no longer possible. When we try to isolate ourselves we can create a worldwide depression which would further depress us.
27. Americans are overweight. Nearly one-third of adults, 59 million people, are
considered obese. Moreover, close to two-thirds of adults are either obese or significantly
overweight. . We pay significantly for this excessive weight in health risks including diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart disease, certain cancers, stroke and arthritis. We have seem to have no serious campaign to decide that as a country we should lose weight. We talk a little about it but there is not a grass roots plan to help us fix this problem one pound at a time. We have no plan to attack this as a major problem.28. There are 40,000,000 future Americans are not here today because of an abortion.
Now we don't have a plan to have enough working Americans to pay for the aging society's
social security costs.This is just the tip of the iceberg. I see a lot of problems. I like to work on problems.
What do you think about? Call me with your ideas or your problems. I will listen to you.
Maybe I can help you get to where you want to be.Call me at 713-467-3025.
Thanks.
