My Trip to Vancouver Really Suck Right Now

Revision and editing still require – work in progress

Man my trip to Vancouver did not go the way I plan. I am still stuck in Seattle, WA. I hope to be able to make it in to Vancouver by 5:25 pm. I encounter a lot of bad business practice and unfriendly people in the last 24 hours.

The hotel room I stayed at is too close the main road. I hear cars going by me all night long. On top of that I couldn’t get a good night sleep my bad is so mess up from the 3 hours time difference, and the jag lag.

I originally plan to rent a car to drive from Seattle to Vancouver. That didn’t fall thought. Seattle airport has really unfriendly support staff.

Craftsmen and Wealth Creation – part 1

The last few nights I have been thinking about wealth creation and how one needs to go about doing it.

To create wealth does one need talent, skills or a good education?

To be honest I don’t really know. If you look at the world there are many people who are wealthy, and they did not obtain thought the traditional mean.

As I was driving to work today, I heard that Madonna has made over $200 millions dollars in concert sales. Wow!! $200 millions dollars. I remember watching her musical videos in the late 80s, and reading one of her biography. Was she ever driven?

This has made me think. My father was craftsman. In Vietnam he was a tailor. Now tailor are a dying breed in America. Everyone buys off the rack.

If fact if you are a craftsman in America, or in any industrial nation you will not create wealth, unless you have an acute understanding of the wealth creation process, and an acumen for business.

The problem with being a craftsman is that there is no multiplicity process. The quickest way to create wealth is to multiple the processes or create multi-revenue stream from that one piece of work.

Some the best designer in the world can’t do the actual craft work themselves. They relay on the skills of other to carry out their vision. But their are savvy enough to leverage the craftsmanship of others to create great wealth for themselves.

My Father – Still Working

My father has recently suffered a heart attack, and currently is not responsive. We hope that he will be more responsive today, after all the medication has worn off. I am a little bit upset that I don’t have the money to just pick up and go down there to visit him. I hope to do so next week – during President’s Week. I have a whole week off.

My father at 73 is still working – which is not a good thing. I feel there is time for him to retire. My parent was not able to save money, due to bad financial management and lack of resources to create wealth. It upset me that it can happen to any of us. I gave up a lucrative career in Toronto to be with my wife in Clyde, NY. And now I feel I might never be able to create a great amount of wealth to support my family and to retire at a young age.
