LIVING OUTSIDE THE BOX: Awareness, Acknowledgment, and Actions - Three Key Ingredients to Making a Profound Positive Difference in Life and Business

Living Outside The Box with Joe Wallace

The origins of entrepreneurship are the ideas and perspectives that people have and then act upon to create changes that often have profoundly positive economic or social outcomes. These outcomes can range from businesses in the manufacturing sector that create wealth through solving problems and offering solid solutions to elegant services that make human life better.

Ideas and perspectives germinate in the minds of acutely aware individuals during the day to day activity of living. By the powers of observation and through a healthy feeling of discontentment with the status quo, curious visionaries identify potential solutions to society’s problems. When these visionaries have ambition, drive, and access to capital, sometimes they become entrepreneurs. When their ideas become successful products and services, the entrepreneurs and their communities can accumulate wealth and enhance quality of life.

Awareness: Living a day to day lifestyle that is characterized by awareness is vital to individuals and businesses that aspire to become game changers. To solve problems and present solutions, one must be aware of the sources of discomfort and have the initiative to ponder how to improve life for all. The status quo is the target. Ideas, thoughts, and awareness are the arrows in the quivers of aspiring high impact people.

Higher consciousness is just as necessary for invention and technical innovation as it is for the initiation of sweeping social change. It all really starts with the acute awareness that leads to the recognition of problems that are in need of a solution. Other people’s problems are a treasure chest of opportunities for those with the curiosity and presence of mind to recognize them

Acknowledgment: Once a problem condition has been identified, it is important to progress through a period of contemplation for the purpose of truly accepting that the perceived problem is really a problem. It is necessary to go through a series of thoughts and discussions that completely convince both oneself and others that something significant will happen should a practical solution be developed for the problem that has been identified. At the conclusion of the acknowledgment phase, the investigator will not only have found a problem on which to ponder, but will have gotten outside validation for the need of a solution.

Action: When the need for a solution consumes an investigator to the point that it is decided to pursue solutions something magical happens. The quest for a solution has a way of taking on a life of its own and spontaneously attracting a variety of talented people to the cause. In the initial action stage potential solutions are formulated and vetted through brainstorming or even through using internet based open innovation forums. Promising solutions are identified and planning is begun to design and test the solution set. Unlike a lifestyle of awareness and acknowledgment of a specific problem, the action phase can take on many forms.

Sometimes the post-eureka moment action will be a well written business plan to seek investment capital. Other times the action will result in a working prototype that can be tested prior to deciding what is needed to truly initiate the actualization of the solution. The action phase can become an endless loop of continuous improvement. Each iteration should be designed to make the solution better and more available to a wider audience.

As Andrew Grove, founder of Intel admonishes us in his book, “Only the Paranoid Survive”, it is only through blowing up the road you just passed over and making your solutions obsolete that a business can truly stay in front of competition.

Problems are Opportunities: Where are today’s opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship? We can all benefit from innovation in the areas of food, energy, education, healthcare, government, travel, workforce development, and a multitude of yet to be defined areas. The same was true 10 years ago, 50 years ago, and 100 years ago. A better question would be, “Where are we not in need of positive disruptive change”?

BLUE THING #3: Amazing New Facts and Statistics

AND NOW...

A compilation of utterly useless information brought to you by www.usmint.gov and THE NATIONAL NEWSPICKER™.

Following is a veritable cesspool teeming with trivial items to use in pick-up lines in bars, to fill awkward silences in credit committee meetings, and to forward (via email) to the spam filters of Oprah, Bill O’Reilly, Bono, Paris Hilton, Harry Potter [either one], any member of the board of directors of Bank of America, the president or prime minister of your home nation, or one or more of your many friends, family members and people who have far too much time on their hands.

Here goes:

Commemorating the construction of the federal bullion depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 28th, 1935, we proudly present:

Fun Facts About Fort Knox

• Amount of present gold holdings: 147.3 million ounces.

• The only gold removed has been very small quantities used to test the purity of gold during regularly scheduled audits. Except for these samples, no gold has been transferred to or from the Depository for many years.

• The gold is held as an asset of the United States at book value of $42.22 per ounce.

• The Depository opened in 1937; the first gold was moved to the depository in January that year.

• Highest gold holdings this century: 649.6 million ounces (December 31, 1941).

• Size of a standard gold bar: 7 inches x 3 and 5/8 inches x 1 and 3/4 inches.

• Weight of a standard gold bar: approximately 400 ounces or 27.5 pounds.

• Construction of the depository:
  Building materials used included 16,000 cubic feet of granite, 4,200 cubic yards of concrete, 750 tons of reinforcing steel, and 670 tons of structural steel.
  The cost of construction was $560,000 and the building was completed in December 1936.

• In the past, the Depository has stored the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, Lincoln's Gettysburg address, three volumes of the Gutenberg Bible, and Lincoln's second inaugural address.

• In addition to gold bullion, the Mint has stored valuable items for other government agencies. The Magna Carta was once stored there. The crown, sword, scepter, orb, and cape of St. Stephen, King of Hungary also were stored at the Depository, before being returned to the government of Hungary in 1978.

• The Depository is a classified facility. No visitors are permitted, and no exceptions are made.

BLUE THING #3: Amazing New Facts and Statistics

BLUE THING #2: TNNWC Product/Service of the Week

TNNWC™ Proudly Presents...

...BLUE THING #2 with our own Michael Phillips, Chief Innovation Officer

This week’s feature:

Buzzworks™

We respect your time…so here’s the…
Blue Bottom Line: (Why should I care? Why should I read on?)

· Because Buzz works!

· Learn about the Buzz Bizzness

· Learn how to achieve social media domination

· Ignite the buzz that leads to the creation of your brand

· Learn how you can launch your Buzz Campaign

As a member of the TNNWC Group™ and Global Interconnected Cooperative Business Community (GICBC), you have access to an entire suite of products and services to reduce costs improve efficiencies, increase sales and profits, and……generate awesome BUZZ about your brand, company and advertising campaigns.

This week’s featured solution, BUZZWORKS™, is provided by The National Networker Companies (TNNWC) Group™.


The TNNWC™ BUZZWORKS™ Philosophy
Everyone uses the term “buzz.” At one time, years ago, it simply meant “gossip.” Today the term “buzz” covers gossip, visibility in the news, a grassroots groundswell of curiosity… and an ever-increasingly vast bunch of things. Some people think that buzz equates to advertising. Well…buzz is not advertising, but buzz is a critical ingredient in making your advertising work.

For the folks at Buzzworks™, Buzz means a very specific three-part process.

• The first part is cutting through all of the media noise and getting the attention of your prospective market, and of other allies who may help promote or distribute your product or service (even if the product is You, personally);


• The second part is to get a message or an image across to that prospective market, and to use that special message or image (your “brand”) to symbolize and represent your company, product or service. It is your signature, your fingerprint, your essence – it is your identity at the conscious and subconscious levels;


• The third part is to build sufficient curiosity, eagerness and credibility in that message or image that your market is attracted to your company, product or service.

Buzzworks™ describes the ultimate buzz campaign as one where:

1. We tell the horse that he’s very, very thirsty…that his throat is parched and as dry as a sandy desert…


2. We tell him where he can find cool, clear, fresh water to satisfy that desperate thirst, and…


3. He will either begin wandering in the right direction, or we will make him follow us (at a gallop), or, if need be, we will tug him by the reins until he arrives at your watering hole.


4. At the end of the campaign, the horse will thank us (in a horse whisper), and happily offer us a ride into town.

Buzz Bizzness
Now that you’ve become an expert Buzzologist, let’s move on to what the Buzzworks™ Team describes as the buzz bizzness.

Buzzworks™ offers three different Program types, with several different Options under each of the three Programs. These Buzzworks™ Programs are, Social Media Blitz™, Social Media Branding Campaign™, and Brute Force Request™. Each of these Programs and Options are described in its own separate section below, but all have certain features and some simple (and silly-sounding) terminology in common.


A Quick Buzz Bizzness Crash Course

1. The Buzzwork’s objective is to get your name, brand, product, service, works, book or image (each of these is referred to as a “Brand Asset” in buzz-talk) buzzed (i.e., broadcasted, read and re-broadcasted and otherwise forwarded repeatedly, in waves) across the social internet media to give you recognition in your target market;


2. First Level broadcasts are of three distinct types, each one designed to fit a specific group format in accordance with that particular group’s general posting or publication guidelines. Buzzworks™ sends out blasts of magnetic, interesting information; they do not promulgate spam or advertisements. The folks at Buzzworks™ believe that every posted item must be interesting in order to jump out and seize the audience’s attention.
   
   The three types of buzzable items are:
   
   
   • Brief essays (“Mini-Articles”) which contain fascinating facts or which pose provocative questions either centered upon or sponsored by your Brand Asset and which contain hyperlinks to your website, blog, news release or other information center. The challenges are to gain their attention, arouse their curiosity, to engage them and to have them thinking, consciously and subconsciously, of your Brand Asset;
   
   
   • Single provocative paragraphs (“Hooks”) which make bold, memorable statements, or pose memorable questions entered upon or sponsored by your Brand Asset and which contain hyperlinks to your website, blog, news release or other information center
   
   
   • Quips, comments, enticements or tweets (collectively, “Comments”) which are very brief and which contain hyperlinks to your website, blog news release or other information center.


3. The social media utilized for broadcasting at the First Level are a combination of specially-selected common-interest groups and discussion forums featured on such platforms as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many others. Each of these media (okay… substitute “mediums” if you prefer) will be blasted (i.e., peppered, pelted and prompted) with Mini-Articles, Hooks or Comments as appropriate and optimal.


4. Your First Level broadcasts are initially seen by a prospective audience of hundreds of thousands to millions of readers. We continually re-post First Level blasts in reverberating waves (“Waves”) in order to build curiosity, anticipation and impression. Additionally, repetition breeds credibility and clears the path for market acceptance. Using the Proper message, the proper repetition at the proper frequency, a relatively new Brand Asset can look like a contender for a well-established brand in very short order.


5. First Wave broadcasts are the first set of First Level broadcasts which go out to the social media. Second Wave broadcasts are re-broadcasts of the First Level broadcasts. Theoretically, each Level may go out in a series of Waves, producing a repetition and reverberation effect. Depending upon the circumstances, there may be up to Five Waves of a First Level broadcast.


6. Second Level broadcasts are comprised of new material (Mini-Articles, Hooks and Comments) which supersedes, adds to and enhances (exponentially) the power of the multiple Waves of First Level material. Depending upon the circumstances, there may be multiple Waves of Second Level broadcasts.


7. Generally speaking, any Level of broadcast may go “out” in up to five Waves. More than one Wave per day of any single Level of broadcast is excessive, and will tend to devaluate the utility of the approach.
   
   The Buzzworks™ Team is sensitive to the Law of Diminishing Returns? They take caution not to litter the media with any particular blast – it erodes Brand Asset credibility and creates a perception of merely promoting instead of teasing the audience with magnetic content. One of the keys to any intelligently-conceived buzz campaign is the utilization of “education” instead of “forced-feeding.” Buzzworks™ might speak of a Blitz or a Blast, but they are in the business of building curiosity, anticipation and hunger. An audience inundated with self-serving information feels abused and becomes unresponsive.


8. The usual pattern of broadcasts is one Level, five Waves, with one Wave per day. This is a week’s worth of buzz. This process repeats with new material week after week.


9. In any well-conducted buzz campaign, an “echo” effect is produced when third parties start to quote or reframe your buzzed materials in the form of postings, questions, comments and re-publication. You’ll know that you have hit with a good buzz item when you see it quoted in a third-party newsletter, blog, article or comment in the social media universe. When strangers start to quote your slogan as wisdom, you are being very effective. You’ve truly arrived when an entire crowd of hypnotized heads nods in recognition.


10. TNNW BUZZWORKS will create the image-building, branding buzz content for your emerging enterprise. This is the most challenging, cerebrally-intensive part --- but the Buzzworks™ Team seems to thrive on it. The content of your buzz is what will truly make you stand out. Done right it just might make you famous!

Buzzworks™ utilizes unearthly writing talent, a practical knowledge of behavioral psychology, some computer wizardry, a tasteful dash of the dark art of subliminal/ hypnotic persuasion and, of course, the Buzzworks™ Crew: a collective of brilliantly creative and fanatically dedicated nonconformists and egomaniacs. And that’s putting it mildly.

To sum it all up, buzz is the perfect foundation and enhancement to your advertising and public relations efforts and activities.

So, my students, by now your head must surely be buzzing (….sorry…..) with all things Buzzworks™! If at this point you feel you still need to learn more on this subject please click the blue button and someone from the Buzzworks™ intelligential will be happy to continue your education.



If you are a quick study you may feel you are ready to get your Buzzworks™ campaign started now. You can click on the three Programs below to review their details and then select the specific Buzzworks™ Program that is right for you.


Buzzworks™ Programs
BUZZWORKS™ - Social Media Blitz™ is ideal for initiating the Buzz process if you are a neophyte, or if your budget is tight.



BUZZWORKS™ - Social Media Branding Campaign™ is intensive. It requires a slightly greater investment of your time and resources, but the results are well worth it.



BUZZWORKS™ - Brute Force Request™ is The Ultimate. It is like no other. It is “the Bomb.” It is audacious. It is deadly effective.

BLUE THING #2: TNNWC Product/Service of the Week

BLUE THING #1: TNNWC Surveys, Analyses and Findings

Why? Because people are absolutely obsessed with what other people are thinking.

(cue drum roll...)

EXTENDED ONE MORE WEEK:

NEW SURVEY: TNNWC SURVEY 6.1

We have a new survey for all willing participants. It is comprised of one simple question where you get to rate the significance of a factor on a scale of 0 to 10. The deadline for closing the polls has been extended to July 1st.


Please take a few moments and state your opinion (the survey is anonymous) by clicking on the following link: http://bit.ly/TNNWCsurvey6part1

Here's a preview of what this survey is about:

TNNWC Survey 6.1 : How Important Is This Factor?



How important a role does this factor (below) play in determining your success and your value as a leader or manager of an emerging enterprise? This factor was taken from TNNWC Survey 6: A Self-Evaluation:


"Do you know your three greatest (e.g., most exceptional) strengths? Note: These strengths can be from any aspect of your personality, technical skills, talents, etcetera."


Rate this factor in terms of its significance by assigning it a value from 0 to 10, where 0 is "of no significiance," and where 10 would be "of the greatest level of significance."


Once again -- we'd be delighted if you would participate in this survey. It will likely take you less than five minutes to complete. And you will be playing a part in the collaborative effort to build a great self-evaluation/ self-assessment tool for all of us to use!

CEO Space Grad Guides You Through History Using a Vehicle of The Future with SegZone

Historic Annapolis, MD and historic Dover, DE have met with the future. Walking tours are a thing of the past now that Steve Dapias, Dispena Wilson, CEO Space Graduate, and SegZone have introduced the use of the Segway, a motorized two wheel personal transportation vehicle that balances via the use of gyroscopes and tilt sensors. The motorized device’s frame and handlebar work with the body’s movements to steer safely and stay balanced. The mission of SegZone is to bring fun and adventure into your life in a whole new way... by experiencing a Segway tour!

“These Segway tours really have an adventure component to them, people just love riding them. It’s an alternative way of seeing a historic district,” said First State Heritage Park’s Elaine Brenchley.

According to Dapias and Wilson visitors are as intrigued in the Segways as they are in visiting the historical sites. It also becomes a selling point for those who do not wish or can’t walk for a full hour… or two. They can speed along at two to three times the speed of a walker.

Diapis and Wilson will continue their expansion for the use of the Segaway SegZone tours as they expand into the Delaware beaches and onto the NASCAR Monster Mile, in Dover, DE.

There are very few restrictions with use of the Segway on the tours according to Diapis. Guests must weigh at least 100 and not more than 260 pounds, and must be 14 or older.

SegZone looks forward to having you as their guest and promise that the use of the SegZone Segway will make your visit unforgettable. They wish to provide you (or your company) with adventurous Segway excursions for fun and/or for history. They desire to make your experience both exciting and leisurely.

As Summer vacations are increasing, SegZone tours are becoming more in demand. They want you to be next! It is strongly recommend that you book in advance on-line as there are limited Segways per tour. If you are in the Annapolis area, please feel free to stop by and say hi. SegZone Tours is located in the charming historic downtown area of Annapolis, MD, just steps from the Naval Academy and many of the historic sites, such as city dock, the State House, and Market House.

In Dover the Segways are used to tour the First State Heritage Park. The park provide the audio content for the two hour tours the first Saturday of each month and one hour tours every Sunday. For the Saturday tours, riders can park their Segways and tour the Old State House, Legislative Hall and Woodburn by foot with a historical interpreter. The shorter Sunday tours feature interpreters at the Old State House.

For further information about SegZone Tours go to: http://www.segzonetours.com/index.php
