It's been a few days since my last post, and from the looks of things not a lot has changed in cyberworld, the "muck" is still quite thick, piled high and there's plenty to go around! In the "real" world though, there's been some interesting developments. Over the last year and a half, I've gradually started to pay more attention to the presidential primaries, and considering my overtly ill regard for politicians and politics, this is indeed worth noting.
During the earlier caucases , it was the usual "muck", the posturing, empty rhetoric, and far flung promises inherent with western politics. However, gradually over time one candidate began to distinguish himself from all the other "talking heads", and what I found most compelling was how he accomplished this. Basically he packaged and presented himself as not being an "experienced politician" but as someone who first of all cited the obvious, that the political/governmental system is severely flawed, highly dysfunctional and needs to be overhauled, and second he could be trusted to oversee this change. A few short years ago, this would have been political career suicide, so why is this approach now appealing to more people?
I'm reminded that the definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over, each time expecting a different result. Maybe as a country we're beginning to realize that we've been "insane" for quite a while now, and we need to shake some things up. Well, that same premise applies to us as consumers and entrepreneurs. There are definitely some fundamental flaws in how we try relate to each other, thus causing us to experience everything from anxiety to utter distrust. I know I can relate to this, and this is why I feel so good about our endeavor http://www.wowzzy.com/ because our emphasis is on "keeping it real!" when it comes to assesing need and concerns, and then addressing those in a "straight up!" straightforward fashion. No wink of the eye, no crossed fingers behind our back. Just "here's the situation and here's how we can help!"
If this approach can work for a politician in a presidential race, it can certainly work for us.
Here's to inner (and outer) peace!
