Fantastical

[tweetmeme] How much do you love them? In the business world, fantastical stories seem especially lauded.

Fast money. Overnight fame.

It just sounds so good, and so easy.

You can’t blame me for wanting it, or wanting to believe in it.

I’m a gambler by nature. After all, I started my own business. I’m all about risky choices. And I can’t help but hear fanciful success stories and want to believe them.

The problem is, I don’t. They’re bullshit.

A perfectly rational world?

Conventional economic theory assumes perfect knowledge – of prices, markets and people. From this knowledge it extracts a “rational economic order” – a pattern to explain how economies work and how economic agents (e.g., buyers and sellers) interact. It is a theory that attempts to explain the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth.

Conventional economic (and business) thought focuses on elements from only the physical realm – such as resources, commodities and technologies. It does not extend to the mental or conscious realm.

Conventionally, wealth is seen as nothing more than what we have manifested in the physical realm.

George Shackle was the first economist to challenge that the “algebra of business” is not a deterministic, linear science.

You Won’t Know How

Commit

Forget How to Do It — Commit to What You Do

You’ll never know how to do it until you commit to what you are doing. Your success in whatever you choose is a matter of commitment.

Your choices are your daily commitment

In my experience, when I completely commit to the what — that something that I feel passionate about — I trigger the how — the means and answers I seek.
