What Is Foundation Setting?

Chakras are the body’s main energy centers.  Most teachers today include seven of them.  Other models include 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, or 13.  Whichever model you choose, “the chakras” are considered the most important of 100s (or even 1000s) of energy centers in our bodies.

My Two Cents

Money is one of my Tier 1 Topics.

That makes it an entrance to many rabbit holes.

These profiles are largely for me.  I use them to record and reference.  In the future, I may make them more meaningful to the outside observer.

No guarantees.  Let’s start small.

The Basis of Commerce

This is an odd way to put it.  But it’s the only phrase that captures the entire bucket.  Gary thinks like a Scorpio.

Plans to Destroy It

Many of my heroes talk about company culture.  Gary’s idea of a “Honey Empire” is one of the best.

A Game to Be Played

Most people know Gary as “that social media guy.”  Makes sense.  He’s one of—if not the—best at it on the planet.

Not the Root of Evil

Gary wants to buy the Jets.  Big dream, but he has a practical plan for it.  Luckily, he is documenting the journey.

For the time being, this site is mostly just a data dump.  Over time, it may become more useful to the outside observer.  Who knows?

How I Think About Foundation Setting

For me, Money Mastery is basically one half of the overall Money puzzle. 

On the same level, I have Economics.  It’s the practical side whereas Economics is more about curiosity. 

It has many sub categories, already 4 or 5 tiers deep–and growing as more knowledge does.  Like it’s parent category, I break Money Mastery into two big chunks… Playing Markets and Financial Literacy.

Here’s a quick look at those.

 

Playing
Markets

There is a lot that goes into.  I can’t make up my mind whether to focus on the writing or the designing.  I guess it doesn’t matter.  The daily content challenge marches on.

This site is the definition of a work-in-progress.  I can’t make up my mind whether to focus on the writing or the designing.  I guess it doesn’t matter.  The daily content challenge marches on.

My Progress So Far

More than anyone else:

Gary is the reason I started creating hero profiles.

Now that I’ve started, I see that his profile may be less useful than my other heroes to other people.  But his will likely always remain the most important to me.

I fucking love this dude.  He changed my life.

More accurately, he teamed up with Nahko to save my life.

I’m not quite sure when I found him.  I featured him all the way back in one of my first posts for Greensboro SEO Pro.

365 Day Content Challenge Week 17: Market Tension

365 Day Content Challenge Week 17: Market Tension

The market on Zach's content has begun a potential rebound. A bear flag does not seem likely. Markets are undervalued and the tension is high. It seems like we'll soar to all time highs on the next bull run.  But we've still got quite a ways to go. Our last bull run...

No shame in my game. Yet again, I'm back to square one. Back to a 1-day content streak. Back to Challenge .27397% Complete. And I have no excuse: I backed down to a bad morning routine, UNC sweeping Duke, and general punk-a$$edness. Obviously, there are some wins and...

365 Day Content Challenge Week 15: False Restart

So my 365 Day Content Challenge isn't going to plan so far. You guessed it: I failed to maintain my streak once again this week. This time, it was mostly just one day of weakness that did it. Moreover, I was on the cusp of scheduling enough content ahead of time to...

365 Day Content Challenge Week 14: Streak Broken

I've failed my 365-Day Content Challenge. Or you could say I reset it. I barely made it through a quarter of a year. What broke my streak was exactly what I feared may do so.  And yet, it wasn't that at all. Moreover, I'm only slightly disappointed. That's because I...

365 Day Content Challenge Week 13: Cleaning House

365 Day Content Challenge Week 11: Deep Work and Flow

This challenge has taught me a valuable lesson. I am SO much more productive when I work on my own projects. It's unfortunate that it's taken six years of working online to see this. Or, maybe it's fortunate that it's only taken six years. It's not like I lost much. ...
