Three Key Roles: Commanders, Visionaries and Entrepreneurs

Commanders either set goals or are given tasks which they accomplish through their mastery of other Human Beings -- they understand that the Laws of Physics and Human (mortal) Physiology are the only unbreakable rules, and thus Commanders function within very broad operating parameters.



They are expert at behavioral psychology, social engineering, project management and acting. "Acting" both in the sense of playing a role in a play, and in the sense of taking action to proceed toward the accomplishment of a mission.





Visionaries are persons of inspiration, insight and epiphany who have an idea (usually a powerful mental picture of an outcome or objective), which they are compelled to promulgage. They NEED to reveal the nature of what they see (and often, what they have seen) to someone else.





Entrepreneurs, in the truest sense, encompass many of the aspects of both Commanders and Visionaries.





Successful Entrepreneurs must be talent scouts -- they have to identify and choose Visionaries, Commanders, and numerous technologists, professionals and soldiers (or employees) in order to build a self-sustaining system (i.e., a business or an organization of some sort) that will not only achieve goals, but which will become self-sustaining, and synergistic - a "production machine" which is far greater than the sum of its individual parts.





Entrepreneurs are the catalysts in society who bring the appropriate assets together in order to construct something.



Entrepreneurs are the principal creators of value in our society.

Sustain Civilization - Pass The Torch Of Wisdom and Inspiration

Internal Energy Plus™ is based upon a system of mind-body learning and entrainment originally founded by martial arts Headmaster Soke Joseph Droual. It continues to be a work-in-progress. I had the honor of being one of Soke's students. - Douglas Castle



You have the power, if you should choose to use it, to transform somebody's young life, or several young lives, or perhaps an intire generation with some well-timed, carefully thought-out words of encouragement.

If you are fortunate enough to be a mentor, teacher, coach, trainer or leader, you have the power, if you act wisely, to change the entire course of a young person's life with only a few words of encouragement or inspiration. It is a sacred obligation to pass on to others what we have learned -- it is part of keeping a culture -- an entire civilization -- alive.

The impression which you make on a young, formative mind is your immortality. It is a chance to exponentialize your influence to make positive changes in the world.

These people may be students, interns, campers, trainees, employees... it doesn't matter. If you are in a position of authority and power, use it for benefit of all of Humankind by touching another life, by sparking an idea, by kindling an inspiration; by paying a sincere compliment to a young, insecure soul in a world filled with insults and harsh penalties for nonconformity.



It is more than just noblesse oblige. It is more than the repayment of some karmic debt. It is a privilege to be invited into a person's life as a trusted advisor. It is an opportunity not to be squandered. It is your chance to initiate a chain of events which can lead to a positive change for our entire species.




Pass the torch. Don't leave this world without your indelible signature. If there is goodness inside of you, you must pass it on to someone who can further your mission. The torch must be kept burning.




Faithfully,




Douglas Castle

Chairman

The material which follows was stolen (with my permission) from my RadioDAZZ blog, and is being re-posted to Humanitas Maximus, Braintenance, Sending Signals, Internal Energy Plus, Reason Out Of Randomness and perhaps to some of my other blogs. I haven't decided yet.



Simply click on the above picture to see a higher-resolution form of it in all of its frightful glory...



It's simple. A wonderful performance (live, in concert) of a terrifically harmonious and highly catchy rock and roll tune by the group called the Cyrkle. It was a Top 40 pop radio hit. As you walked along Jones Beach, inhaling the fragrance of the ocean, Coppertone suntan lotion, and some acrid cigarette smoke, every transistor radio glistening in the summer sun was playing this song. People were tanning (it was considered healthy then), and lying on beach blankets.

In fact, by noon the beach was so incredibly crowded with blankets of all different colors and designs, each blanket almost touching the ones surrounding it, that when you looked back up at the shore from the water, it was as if a giant multicolored quilt had been placed over the pure, white sand. It seemed to hold us all together...

The song is "Red Rubber Ball," and it was my favorite song in sixth grade. I even listed it under "Favorite Song" in my sixth grade autograph book. It was an amazing year.

Gerald Thompson, my sixth grade teacher, told me that I had a "gift for writing" and encouraged me to write short stories and poems. After going through years of feelings of utter uselessness (I was constantly failing at my classes in school, being branded as either "dumb," a "daydreamer," or "learning disabled," and was always being threatened with being left back a year by my teachers), this man, with his insightfulness, sensitivity and kind words gave me a new lease on life.

It was the first year I ever received straight "A"s on my report card instead of the usual borderline or "F" grades. He believed in me so strongly that he actually convinced me to believe in myself. And I worked to prove both of us right.

Listen to "Red Rubber Ball," which I dedicate to my sixth grade teacher and first mentor, Gerald Thompson.

Teachers can change the course of entire lives. A teacher saved mine. Maybe one saved yours. Don't ever forget to say "thank you." While some teachers have no right to even associate with youngsters, others are dedicated custodians and trustees of the world's future, and of its most precious assets -- our children.

Click the hyperlink below and listen to this carnival of a song, with its wonderful harmony (thirds) and simple message.

Getting From Nowhere To Somewhere - A Three-Step Approach

Only three components are truly necessary to achievement.

The first one is the seminal moment in the evolution or discovery of an idea, a motif or a notion. You visualize it. You look at where you are, and where you'd prefer to be. If you merely stop at the point of visualization, you will never achieve anything, and you never will have even communicated yout thought to someone who might be driven enough, or inspired enough to act.

The second one is where you express it to another person or group of people. Sometimes, if time is of the essence, you merely mouth the words to yourself. But words give a sort of life to thoughts. Words can lead to change; but only if those words translate into physical action.

The third is the one that is seldom reached; and when it is initiated, it is very commonly abandoned, or subjected to procrastination -- it is relegated to a position of less importance, and it recedes into the distance of memory.

Three steps:


 1. THOUGHT

2. WORD

3. ACTION

Sometimes it is advisable to omit the second step. Sometimes it is advisable to push forward hard on the third step -- sometimes action must be sustained to achieve momentum -- to get the Jeep over the hill; and, then again, sometimes you take an action that produces a counter-reaction which requires that you change your course of action again. The process is dynamic, and constantly requires fine-tuning.

But without action, all of the visualization and conversation in the world will never truly create change. Let your words always be a call to action.Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

http://www.LinkedIn.com/company/tnnwc

---------------

You must take action as soon as you know what needs doing.

There is always a point where excessive contemplation, consensus and growing inertia -- and that point is almost immediately after a brilliant idea is put into words.

Unless these words are put immediately into action, momentum is lost, and progress is actually reversed.

Here is something that I culled from a letter to me from Mark Joyner, the Founder of Simpleology (http://www.simpleology.com/):

Her name was Florence Nightingale, noted as the single most important pioneer of Nursing. She was born to a family of great privlege, but chose to spend her days tending to those wounded in battle. This quote bears repeating: "I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results."

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

p.s. "Action" is the very thing which differentiates entrepreneurs from dreamers, and leaders from followers. Think about it. Then say it (even to yourself). And then, while it is still in the forefront of your consciousness, before it is obscured by an accumulation of the mundane duties and thoughts of the day, and tucked away in the world of "almost," - take that action.

As they say at Nike - Just Do It.

Excuses are for cowards - people afraid of failure, afraid of success, or too indolent and contented with the cozy cocoon of politically correct and acceptable mediocrity to push the envelope, or open the shades and allow the light to come streaming in.

The Wormhole To Self-Realization (Dedicated to Soke Joseph Droual)

Dear Friends, Colleagues, TNNWC Members, Bloggers, Entrepreneurs, Team-Leaders, Visionaries and Musicians With Their Songs Unsung:

"Fear is the pervasive fog that we must somehow walk through in order to see the clear, untarnished image in the mirror which shows us our gifts, our beauty, our opportunities and our best selves." - Douglas Castle

I am curious as to whether this greatness is within us at the start of our walk, or if the walk, of itself, makes us into the greatness that looks back upon us at the end of the dimensionless, all-enshrouding fog of fear.

My suspicion is that most of us see the fog rolling in and retreat, or we advance slightly, only to get lost wihin its indiscernible depths and remain there, prisoners in our own recognizance.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

Douglas Castle Entreats Thee -- Please Forgive Me My Technological Transgressions!

Dear Readers (Entrepreneurs, TNNWC Members, Colleagues, Business Leaders, Innovators, Project Managers, Commanders of Growing Companies, Braintenancers, Global Futurists, Internationalists, Marketers, Trend-Watchers, Trend-Setters, and Friends):

Subject: Douglas Castle Apologies for An Annoying Technical Glitch.

Q: Conspiracy or Catastrophic Compound Error?

It's simple. I am not certain whether it was due to a deadly conspiracy involving a collaborative effort among Twitterfeed, Hellotxt and Ping, or whether it was the result of an extremely unlikely catastrophic compound error (Do I sound paranoid? Are you talkin' to me?), but my status updates have been prodigiously posting themselves to many of my blogs without my knowledge or consent.

Since this began two days ago, I have had a "Blue Ribbon Panel" of "experts" working on solving the problem, and after much debate (mostly over who would be responsible to pay for lunches, and how much of a gratuity we should give the delivery kid), they have assured me that the mechanism has been repaired.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you, and I thank you for your patience and for reading me and my guest contributors.

Faithfully, and in the spirit of friendship,

Douglas Castle

Perspective - Your Character.

Note: The article which follows originally appeared in The BRAINTENANCE Blog, prior to its publication in HUMANITAS MAXIMUS and THE INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS Blog. Each of these blogs is a planet orbiting about the TNNWC website (the star) in a vast constellation in cyberspace. Management, leadership, decision making, messaging, buzzing, blogging, reputation management, customer satisfaction and any other factor which affects us either as individually-purposed Human Beings, or as members of entrepreneurial enterprises made up of others working collaboratively. Any topic relating to the aforementioned areas of focus is fair game.

Dear Cranial Vault Keyholders and Honorary Cardholders:

To be a team leader, a manager, or a coordinator, you must lead by example, and you must be prepared to demonstrate the integrity of your character and the legitimacy of the motivations which precipitate your actions. You are being watched by others. What's more, you are constantly making choices and introspectively (as well as retrospectively) examining your own motives. Others may have to deal with your style of leadership or management, but you have to deal with yourself.


This is going to hurt just a bit, but you might want to think about who you are given these real-life situations:

1) You're the owner of a start-up business venture, and you are pushing the speed limit while driving your hybrid car in the left-hand lane (in the US). You are about to meet a major equity investor. You're running late. The fellow in the car directly in front of you is wavering from lane to lane without signaling, and gently tapping on the brakelights at seemingly random intervals. You scream "You flipping idiot!"

2) Your boss likes to come into the office very early in the morning, and after dinnertime in the evening at random times. He clearly wants to see who is working (by his standard, which involves employees remaining at their desks for many hours), and enjoys this "surprise approach." It is Friday evening, and you have a dinner date with your soul mate -- but you are breking into a sweat at the thought of leaving before 6:30 pm. You may be quite late for your date, who will be waiting at a restaurant where you've made reservations.

3) You are a soldier on the field of battle. An unarmed man, terrified, is kneeling on the ground in front of you with his hands atop his head, on his knees, pleading for his life. You believe that he is a civilian. Your commanding officer stands behind you, puts his gun up to the back of your head, cocks the trigger and says, "Shoot him, private, or I'll shoot you."

4) You have quit smoking after many years. You have not had a cigarette in four months. In your top office desk drawer, you have an unopened pack of cigarettes that you haven't thrown away, and cannot seem to part with...

5) You abhor cheating on examinations. You are in a very competitive class. Most of the other students cheat. They are circulating an unlawfully purloined copy of tomorrow's upcoming exam, obviously without the professor's knowledge. You think to yourself, "I hate cheaters. These people are disgusting. But if I don't get a high grade in this course, I'll lose out on my chance to get into a great graduate school program..."

In each of the above-proposed scenarios, what do you do, and how does that make you feel about yourself? Think hard.

Good Luck.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
