Entrepreneurs believe that profit is what matters most in a new enterprise. But profit is secondary. Cash flow matters most.

- Peter Drucker

The Central bank robs our future living standards in exchange for a higher living standard today by debasing our currency and reducing the value of our future savings and earning capacity. We do the same thing as individuals by taking on too much debt. When you borrow, all you're doing is spending today what you hope to earn in the future. You're trading a higher lifestyle today for a lower quality of life in the future. - Paul Van Eeden

If you want the ultimate thrill, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price.

You get old enough and survive a few wipe outs in life and there is a chance of achieving wisdom not easily attained via books, schools or obtuse devices.

1st Paradigm Shift - Thrown to the Wolves at USNA - Honor Offense 4 Having Guts.

2nd Paradigm Shift - Tower 2 WTC on September 11th, 2001.

3rd Paradigm Shift - Motorcycle Crash 2021. Learning to Walk again. Gratitude.

Funny what people see & the reality of principled actions, invisible balance sheets and macro not envisioned beneath the surface.

Riding a KLR 650 with a surf rack [no board - high winds] cross North America helped put a personal review into perspective. Hard core introspection.

As a young man the goals were see the world, design & learn to ride storms in the oceans.

Never learned about capital markets, entrepreneurship much less this idea of what is an asset vs a liability.

The world seems to be booming to many while others feel like they are being left behind.

The western world in Europe & North America have embarked upon one of the greatest fiat currency & debt bubbles in 500 years of history. Things were supposed to start to revert to the mean 25 years ago… as thought by my elders.
