Knowledge IS Power

There’s a reason
Fascists are banning books
and trying to close
libraries.

Knowledge IS power.

The more you know
the more powerful you are.

This is especially true
in business.

And there is SO much
to know
– contract law,
tax rules,
the latest social media tactics,
the hot colors for 2025
and much, much more.

while driving to an appointment.

and every day.

Telling The Truth

There was a discussion
online
about word count targets
for stories.

An editor
for a large New York Publisher
shared her preferred word counts
for submitted stories.

Writers jumped on her,
telling her she was being
small minded,
was limiting their creativity,
was censoring their thoughts.

She muted comments on her post
and withdrew from the conversation.

I posted recently here
about building a business
during climate change.

NONE of the people
who contacted me
liked that post.

The environmentalists
told me
we have enough businesses.
We don’t need any more.

The business folks
told me
things like
the world is always changing
and
businesses should be built
for what is happening today
because the future isn’t certain.

I’ll continue to tell
my truth here on client k.
It is one of the reasons
I’m semi-anonymous.

But often,
when we yell at the people
telling us their truths,
they stop sharing their truths
with us.
We lose their insights,
their expertise.

Encourage the people
who tell you their truths
even if you don’t agree with them.
