“On the morning of June 25, 2009, (Michael) Jackson reportedly collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles.

Here’s the video announcement about the death of Michael Jackson:

A very sad and ominous fact is that since the beginning of this year Michael Jackson has been preparing for his final tour entitled “This Is It” that was supposed to kick off in London, England on July 13, 2009. Apparently, this was not meant to be, as God scheduled a different kind of tour for the King of Pop.

Michael will be performing now for the celestial crowds who will hopefully be more kind and forgiving to him than us mortals, and who will treat him with more respect and dignity he truly deserves.

Millions of Michael’s fans all over the world are in shock over his death – here’s one of YouTube comments that reflects these feelings of grief and enormous loss:

“R.I.P MJ
thanx for so many wonderful memories.
My youth was filled with your music and dance.
Yes indeed you were the biggest star ever.”

I’ve said this many times before, and I’ll say it once again:

Either you will have a SYSTEM, or the SYSTEM will have you. Period.

What do I mean by that?

Well, let’s just step back for a second and remember the “good old days”…

“Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.”

(Pink Floyd, “Wish You Were Here”)

You had a stable job, a nice house, a lot of money in the bank. More importantly, you had a credit line, a family to support you, and a lot of money in RRSPs stashed away for a “rainy day”, so to speak…

You’ve been living “large”. You’ve been throwing parties for friends and relatives and you thought that the well you were so used to, the one you’ve been drinking  out of for so long would never ever go away, it would never dry out, not in a million years…

Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm! Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm!

Now WHO would have thought that THIS could happen???

A year is 2008. Recession comes.

You lose your well-paying job. You’ve used your credit line, your family turns away from you, all your RRSPs are cashed out and your so called “friends” stop returning your calls all of a sudden…Even worse – they pretend that they don’t even know you, as if they never even attended those lavish parties that you’ve been throwing together for them – they act like you don’t even exist to them any more…They prefer to just ignore you and stay away from you…Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak…

Have you ever been there, my friend?

“Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.”

(Pink Floyd, “Wish You Were Here”)

So my question to you is this: what do you do when you feel like the System has completely, totally and entirely failed you?

What do you do when you’re running out of options as we speak?

3 things can happen at this point:

1) Some people choose to live in denial.  They pretend that it’s not even happening to them, they prefer to ignore the System. Until the System comes knocking at their door…

Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm! Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm!

Can you ignore the system when it already came after you? No, seriously – can you?

2) Some people try to “get back on their feet”. Unfortunately, it involves asking the System to carry you through the difficult times, and these folks realize what needs to happen. They are not looking for “handouts” per se, they just need the System to “bail them out” of their misery, so to speak.

Just make a wish, and the System appears! But the price to pay is enslavement. You don’t want to get back on track this way, trust me! Because the System will never let you out without a sacrifice. And that can be your whole life at stake, and your well-being, too…

3) …And then there’s YOU. The prophets, the rebels, the crazy ones, the reformers. Those who carve out their own destiny. Those who develop their own System, their own Model of Being, and make others aware and then make them join their Vision. So it goes somewhat like that:

“Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!”

(Pink Floyd, “Wish You Were Here”)

You are the ones I seek. You are the ones I hope for. You are the ones I rely upon.

I know you’re out there. If you are reading this – you know that I’m talking to you. It’s time to wake up. It’s time to raise from the ashes, time to grab the bull by the horns and create your own future.

Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm! Ta-damm-tamm-ta-damm!

The System will not stand a chance against you. You will be the ones that matter. You will be the ones that go forth, strike forward, and create the future that you want.

We are here for you.

"Me too!", an internet cultural phenomenon during the early and mid-1990s on Usenet, a massive distributed bulletin board system, in which a request by one user for information would prompt many others to ask to receive the information by posting the phrase "Me, too!" – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Success is a journey – not an event.

But when does one become successful? I think it’s when you stop being a “me, too” person.

I will explain. Suppose you decide to go shopping this morning. As human beings we are very social animals. We love to be with other people and do things with other people. So you go to the shopping mall, or the grocery store, or a supermarket. There you see a lot of people buying the same groceries, standing in the same line, chatting with one another about the same problems and challenges of our day to day lives. And maybe you even feel good about being a “me, too” person, and that’s ok because again – this is just human nature.

But what if tomorrow when you run out of groceries you resist the temptation of doing things the same way again? What if you don’t go to the shopping mall, or a grocery store, and instead decide to buy everything “in bulk” from a network of wholesalers? Do you think you would have to stand in line, like a “me, too” person, see the same people you see every day and talk about the same problems with them?

Of course not, you will be away from all that, and you can enjoy totally different price margins, let alone totally different lifestyle!

That’s what I’m talking about! That’s why the first step in business is to see what everyone else in your business is doing – and then make a conscious decision that YOU will be doing it differently.

Why is it important?

Because if your “sweet spot” is where everyone else’s “sweet spot” is – you have to be different, be very creative and resourceful, in order to succeed. In fact, it is very dangerous to be a “Me, too” person in business – that’s not how you win! You have to do things differently, in order to achieve different results.

Not mediocre results of a “me, too” person. But outstanding results with a really successful person.

How do you do it?

Well, exactly as I said to you earlier – you have to decide one morning that you want to be different. So it starts with the decision, but where do you take it from there?

This is where it gets tricky. You see, a “me, too” person has a “tunnel vision”. It means that he or she only sees one outcome of one action. There’s nothing wrong with that, by the way, it works really well for some people I know. Especially in sports – when you absolutely must keep an eye on the ball, so to speak, in order to succeed, practice and achieve great results?

But what if you are a consulting firm owner? If your job is to provide consulting services to many clients - when do you think you ACTUALLY make money?

When you send an invoice to the client? When you’re receiving a cheque from them?

Wrong!

Maybe when you find the best resource, or the best solution for them? Close, but still wrong!

No, you make money sooner, way sooner than that! It’s when you come up with a winning strategy – that’s when!

I like the term “Strategic Alliances”. Do you know why?

For 2 reasons.

Reason # 1 is that it gives you the order of how you should develop your business if you want to be successful. The order lies in the term itself:

“Strategic” is # 1 thing to do. “Alliances” is # 2 thing to do”

In other words, we’ve already talked about strategy – so this is where you start. It’s # 1.

But # 2 thing you should start with when you’re building a successful business is building alliances with people whose businesses can complement yours, so that you could eventually be able to offer more to your customers – do you see what I mean?

If you you can deliver more to your customers through the “magic power” of strategic alliances – you no longer have to worry about your survival and you can start focusing on your prosperity. Isn’t it why we all wanted to have our own businesses after all?

So if your supplier goes down – you no longer have to worry! If your biggest clients goes out the door – you won’t even flinch. You know that you can leverage your partners’ customers through strategic alliances, and deliver your services to them, too!

So this is how you build a successful business, the one that becomes profitable fast, and the one that stays profitable for as long as you are in business.
