Prosperity

Prosperity is every one's birth right. We are all unique and have gifts to share with this planet. When someone tells you that wealth is a sin. Tell them to go blow! Without prosperity, we wouldn't have groceries, heat, electricity or shelter. If they like living in a cave. That's up to them! The Universe loves to help us create our reality. It loves to see us happy and joyful!

There is nothing wrong with being happy or prosperous. This bullshit about sin and shame is marketing of spirituality in know as religion. Anything that seeks to enslave your or make you feel like you're less than is not teaching empowerment. The Universe tries to help you succeed at whatever you focus on at every turn.

It's interesting that when you meet people from other countries. If they weren't taught the failure teachings. They are very successful and make money very easily. They often can't understand why anyone would ever think its a sin to be successful. Yet this is the very teachings of many churches. It's their way of keeping you from being successful.

Our minds are very much like computers. If you put garbage in! You will only reap garbage out! If you put prosperity in by learning, teachings and people that you associate. You will be more than surprised by how much your life will benefit in all directions of your life. So next time you might want to take a real look at your life. Do you surround yourself with thieves and jealous people or people that are genuine and constantly trying to grow as a person?

May you find much prosperity on your journey called life!

Detoxing

Sept - Oct are great times to go through your life and see what you want to change. What people still fit and what or who doesn't? Once you decide its amazing how things start to shift. Sometimes its not so much that we need to get rid of something, but maybe it's time to purchase something to allow for better organization. What's out control in your life? Is it something you can control or is it beyond your control. Start with the things you have control of. By making those changes other things will start to move too.

If housing or career have felt blocked. Change the areas of your life you can. Start by updating things if it feels right. Go through the things, in your home that need to be updated. It might be new plates?, new clothes, sheets, towels? Even those shifts will move other things in you life. When we start to detox our lives it raises everything else in our lives. It's about listening to what is working and making us happy.

When your happy, your able to create more things and draw them into your life. It becomes easier to change your life. Things that draw you are easier to bring into your life. Always make sure that your balancing out your life. If you don't, life will feel like drudgery. Life is too short to just work. When you bring quality people into your life. It becomes easier to shift what's not working  into an environment that works and supports your dreams and goals.

Sometimes detoxing means getting rid of family or friends that don't support you dreams and goals. If  you have people that are to busy tearing you apart. It might be time to reevaluate those relationships. Are you eating quality food or eating junk. It affects your energy level. If you have no energy to do things. It's time for a change. If you abuse your health, it gets harder to recover from as you get older. Be sure that your taking time to take care of yourself in all areas.

Shareholders A Retailers Worst Nightmare

As I go through this mall and I see an anchor store that is no more. This one anchor had been in business for well over a hundred years. It made numerous mistakes under unseasoned leadership. This is when your credentials might be absolute garbage to an organization. It's obvious this CEO had never run a retail chain in recession economy. It had a great branding that it totally trashed under the pressure to give shareholders dividends that the store didn't have. It bought clothing that was sub par. If it had good brands, you couldn't tell. It was starting to look like a store of lessor quality.

It put it's shoes out on the floor instead of having staff go to the back room to get them for the customer. This resulted in high theft rates that ate into any of their profits. It bought limited merchandise in select sizes so it didn't cater to the majority. The styles that it did bring in looked very dated. This contributed to its low sales. If it had continued to focus on quality and was stricter to allowing its branding to be carried in other markets that might of helped.

It was obvious to see they had a cash flow problem when they bought a retail chain that was to a low income market instead of a middle class market which was their original target market. It should have looked at their notes if they even kept any on how they were able to stay afloat in the 1920's and 30's. This is why companies need to take seriously how to run a business. There customer service in their stores was very surly in the end of its demise. 

I've recently seen two more retail chains seriously looking at their inventory and who is their customer to make sure that aren't the next one to die. They are merchandising each store appropriately to its individual customers. Both are looking like a fire sale as they scramble to get rid of merchandise that no longer fits. It would make more sense to spread that to its other stores that do carry those brands and whose customers it does sell too.

They are also trying to attract an unfamiliar market by trying to attract new clients that they'd previously not marketed to before. This will likely be a fatal move, since ethnic communities usually frequent their own community and it is only second and third generations that start to branch out. These shareholders have become spoiled by good economies expecting unrealistic dividends in down economies. It would make more sense for these retailers to buy back their shares to have more control so they can ensure the survival of their companies.

Unfortunately most of these CEO's have no real knowledge of how to run companies like this. Which actually makes them a liability instead of an asset. This will be a true test of survival of the fittest or the most adaptable.
