Penalty relief will not be "blanket"

Remember the sun does not give a rat's ass if it blinds you. In other news...... The Government be like:... Yeah ummmmm. I know you changed your life style, lost your job, lost your business, lost your freedoms, psychosis led you to start barking out the window with your dogs, and your kids don't go to school any more..... But if you can go ahead and do it all again even though it did not work the first time..... That would be great. Oh, and if you don't unequivocally comply and dare to ask some reasonable questions..... you are a conspiracy theorist.

So once again, we are closed this week to get things done, and we are accomplishing somethings. Every once in a while when I see a story written by someone who is not on my friends list going through a rough time, I feel compelled to reach out to them, even if it is just Face Book’s Messenger: So as a business coach, I found this post and messaging them I stated my purpose.... Them: Happy to hear suggestions. Me: What problems are you facing? Them: Attempting to get a mortgage but due to COVID-19 shutdown and declining sales. Me: What sales did you do? Them: Salon shut down for 3 months. Me: Did you apply for PPP? Them: Yes. Me: Are you still waiting? Them: No, got it over the summer. Me: I must be on a webinar in 10 minutes. Is there a number that I could reach out to you when it is over? Them: (Crickets chirping) Sometimes people do not want any help and want to play the victim. Some people believe that asking questions, is a sign of fishing. What this person did not know about me, is I take what I do very seriously, and they did not seem to want the help I was trying to do, except give me the answer. If I ever get an answer to my question, I will help. Do I think this one will answer, nope.

The Stonemason I read this somewhere else and will do my best to capture the essence of it. Will perfectly compliment the change message I sent you from earlier this week.... A stonemason who was very good at chiseling stone but was unsettled with where he was in life. While walking he passed a wealthy business owner's house Envious He wished to become a wealthy business owner. To his surprise, he became a wealthy business owner and found himself detested by those less wealthy than himself. A high official passed his business in a limo. The high official made the laws and had guards and people bowing to him how powerful, he must be! Envious wished he could become a high official. To his surprise, he became a high official and found himself detested by those bowing to him. On a hot summer day, he looked up from his limo and saw the powerful sun unfazed by the people he wished that he could become the sun. He became the sun shining powerfully down scorching the Earth and found himself detested by the farms and their people. A huge black cloud came between him, the sun, and the farmers' fields he thought ‘how powerful is that black cloud!’ We wished to become the black cloud and he did. As he rained down and darkened the fields and flooded the villages, he was detested by the people below. As the black cloud, he was pushed aside from a great force and realized it was the wind. He wished to become the wind and he did. His power uprooted trees, blew shingles off houses, and was hated by the people below. As the wind, he ran up against something that he could not move no matter how hard he blew what could this be? A huge rock. He wished to become the rock and be more powerful than anything on Earth And he did. As he stood strong to the ground, unmovable he heard the sound of a chisel and felt himself being changed. What could possibly be more powerful than a huge rock? He looked down and saw a stonemason You heard it here first. And when you achieve massive success, in other people's eyes, don’t expect to have more friends. You’ll have fewer and LOTS of detractors. When this happens, you must go to your purpose and away from their opinions. Dig in rather than pivot?

Going to tease you with our new and impoved website. We are going to kaunch it hext week or so, once we get everything lined up!
