Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

I mean that - Don't go To College or University This Fall.  And  here is some other stuff ...People are starting to hate ZOOM and so you better know how to Do it Differently. - Most Online Church Services are not working well - You better learn Podcasting or you might be out of business when it comes to communicating your business, work, or school ... And  -  Don't let your past experience be any significant guide to what you should do next in the future!  

Every one is challenged right now and many of our spirits are low.... So may I just give you an idea about the four stories and the four men whose lives might have a clue about how we might endure and make it through these difficult times.  Warning this is tough stuff!  But if you want some results and some ideas that might work for you in under 20 minutes.   This could be worthwhile for you.  If everything is perfect. great, forget this and do something else.

Indeed we are changing our name again and in fact for the program I am changing my name.  And in these 12 minutes you will learn a lot about the power of names and in name-changing.  And there is a great deal that goes into name-changing.  I want you to enjoy a light but bright story about the power of a name and of the possibility of name-changing.... So here we go!  change the name and maybe change your life, your reputation, and your personal branding.

My good friend that I met in church was Bill and like so many of the folks in our Encore Senior Congregation he had some remarkable stories. 

Bill went to war as a young man in the South Pacific and saw all of the bloody and brutal mess that was in the war against Japan.  But Bill told me that he was not a combat guy and he admired them greatly, but he had some unusual leadership and organizational gifts and his skill and training was in transportation, logistics, and getting the supplies to the men who did the fighting. 

The Army recognized this vital gift and that is what he did.  Moving men and material into the places of combat and conflict.  Vital work indeed.

  Bill returned to his home in Seattle and because of his experience in shipping and transport he soon found work in the harbor and docks of the massive ships sailing in and out of Seattle. 

Bill was smart enough to realize that the then longshoreman way of loading the cargo into large nets that were then lifted and put into the hold of the ship where they were then packed was inefficient.  And so with a team of old friends and smart thinkers came up with the idea of putting all the goods into a big box or container first, and then putting the whole big box into the boat would be a good experiment. 

And you can see the rest of the story coming.!  The revolutionary idea of shipping by containers was born and Bill was one of the founding folks in that kind of work.   He later sold his interest for a goodly sum.  But he was not done and went on to build a whole series of businesses that he grew, and then sold, and moved on to another.  Indeed the successful Serial Entrepreneur.

Bill is obviously in his later years now and we became good friends.  And when I showed him the diagram and the story of what I am going to show you in this video, he came up to me after church one Sunday and said to me,  This is How I Became a Millionaire Entrepreneur Stan .. And how did you know that? ... This is genius  .. Share it with the world!

Well that's the story and now I will do what Bill told me to do.  After years of thinking, here is the story and maybe the open secret of the Seven Words and Questions (and they all begin with the letter P) that Bill said was exactly what he had done and did not know it at the time;  that indeed made him into a successful entrepreneur and a man of leadership and influence ...Listen to  it at least 3 Times

  We are going to challenge you to Cowboy UP.  That may be what we need to survive hard times, bad luck and even some bad people today.  And one of the leaders of a new radio program about that  is my good friend Russell True...And he tells true stories, and is a true rancher, horseman, and master entrepreneur.. He started in the cowboy western way when he was six years old when his Dad led the family from the mountains of Denver to the Desert of Arizona and they bought a ranch.  You will love this story ....Stan

I not only do this podcast but do others for other groups and this I did Friday for a growing group that I am helping called The Praying Planet and with all that is going around i think this might be an appropriate sharing and repeat.

The City is On Fire and the Fever fire of the Pandemic is still hot...and God is not surprised by it all.  And this is one of the most important weeks and events in the calendar of the Christian tradition and calendar.  It is Pentecost, and in this weeks Praying Planet PodCast Stan will seek to story these things all together and challenge you to pray and to participate in The Praying Planet Programs and mission.

Yes as we come out from working from home millions will want to continue and others will now want to join them .... and many businesses will say ...Wow, what do we want all that expensive office space for!    It's called WFH, and it has changed a lot of ideas and understandings about how we might do work in the Post Covid world...Stan wants to give you some ideas and thoughts about that from his and others experience .... And then he wants you to do the WFH Update radio program ...so listen in ...

Seth Godin does great work and recently his organization put together a list of over 40 REAL SKILLS we will need to make it today and in the uncertain tomorrow ...
I get it but 40 is too many and so I came up with the Seven vital REAL PRO skills...Listen to them please, and see what it does to you... Show them to your colleagues and others....
And if you disagree, then respond by you and your company coming up with your personal and team skills that you and your good folks will need to make your mark in the mess of the Post Covid marketplace.  And then share them with me ... I would be grateful!
