Entrepreneurship Rebooted
Starting up a business is tough – but some folks seem to have a talent for starting them up one right after the other! Take Zalman Silber for example. Already a star agent at famed New York Life Insurance Company, Zalman Silber has gone on to found multiple businesses around the world in a fairly diverse number of fields. He is what is called a serial entrepreneur, one whose particular talent seems to be starting up multiple businesses that are also successful. But how is it done? How could something so hard the first time around be done time after time thereafter?
Obviously, it gets easier with practice, which is what each time in itself is, really: practice. And there are common elements involved for which one may make use of stock tactics and strategies acquired from that all-important first time; sources of funding, supply chains, hiring staff. More pertinent, perhaps, is the question of why – why go through all that again?
To make more money, of course! And, truth to tell, because it is fun. Yes, fun! Especially when you keep winning. There is nothing like the act of creation, of realizing an idea concretely, in the flesh. There is a very real adrenaline rush involved, and it’s all the more enjoyable when you work as part of a team, when you have some good partners or key principals you employ all working towards the same goal: success for all.
To get a sense of this excitement, watch a season of “The Donald’s” popular series “The Apprentice.” It’s a program that blends the best elements of the traditional game show with modern reality television to produce an entertaining distillation of how business works. Strangers to one another are thrown together – just like in real life – on a single task that will benefit their team as well as themselves. And each individual is involved in navigating that fine balance between helping themselves by helping their team and getting properly rewarded for it. That’s precisely the atmosphere of a typical start-up – with even the backstabbing a firm likelihood!
After all, who’s to say that a key partner or principal employee doesn’t learn the tricks of the trade and go off to found his or her own firm in the same field or work more lucratively for a competitor? But that’s the least of anyone’s worries in the very beginning, when just getting the business off the ground is so tough that it occupies everyone’s absolute attention. And it is just such teamwork that makes the start-up such an invigorating place to work, even as it completely exhausts you with the long hours and non-stop challenges every hour!
Such is the joy for an entrepreneur. Such is the attraction for a serial entrepreneur – where the only thing better than succeeding in business is starting up another one!
The Right Kinds Of Boat Seats
The Sea Eagle 435ps PaddleSki inflatable catamaran-kayak. Yes, that’s a mouthful – and the boat is quite an eyeful, too! But the included boat seats, even in the “pro” and “ultimate” packages, leave a lot to be desired. They certainly look cool, all sleek and hi-tech in black, but they do not provide much in the way of comfort, barely supporting a kayaker up!
Indeed, the boat seats included in the cheaper packages, which are standard inflatables, seem to be a great deal more comfy. Everything else provided by Sea Eagle makes a great impression, nevertheless. To be fair, the black high-back seats are supposed to be more performance oriented, and that means comfort was a deliberate second-place consideration. Being closer to the water offers much better stability and much more paddling power.
In the final analysis, it is performance in the water that really matters, and in this regard the PaddleSki is really great. It tracks well and is fairly fast, thanks to its length and catamaran-style pontoons, respectively. The pontoons keep most of the boat above the surface of the water, making for less drag.
Stability and speed. Sea Eagle’s PaddleSki offers both crucial characteristics in spades. It’s a really friendly craft only marred, perhaps, by the boat seats available for it. Otherwise, it’s a extremely sturdy animal, with great handling suitable for fishing or camping trips along the river. By being an inflatable, the PaddleSki is easily stowed away. Unfortunately, it weights a whopping fifty or sixty pounds when packed, but seems really light, if a bit unwieldy, when fully inflated.
Accessories consist of such useful items as a side motor mount for electric or gasoline engines and a sliding seat and frame for rowing. Sailing is also possible thanks to Sea Eagle’s sailing rig. They all cost lots of money, however – anywhere from a third to a full half of the price of the most inexpensive PaddleSki package available!
The Catholic Saints And The Importance
Catholic saints are people canonized by the Catholic Church, officially recognized for their piety as residents of Heaven. Nonetheless, in a technical sense, all who are in Heaven who had once been human on earth are, by definition, saints, folks perfected in holiness; this is the view subscribed to by the Eastern Orthodox Church.
And while the list of Catholic saints can vary between almost a thousand and a half names to over ten thousand, depending on who’s doing the counting (inexplicably, there appears to be no comprehensive official list), it is frequently understood in many quarters that numerous pious souls are obscure and outright lost to human history.
Thus the term “Catholic saints” refers to those formally recorded and so honored while not making the claim that such a list are the only such folks of piety and therefore the only group in Heaven. Canonization is the process whereby an individual’s life and deeds is examined for evidence of such recognition by the Church.
It’s lengthy and can take numerous years, and even whole centuries. Beatification is an official declaration that an individual is near sainthood. The final determination rests, however, on the provenance of two posthumous miracles of some significance.
In a certain sense, miracles are one of the most essential aspects of a saint; the veneration of saints often rests on this point for many lay Catholics. Patron saints are those designated as being particularly associated with certain professions, causes, or qualities.
Saints are not considered to have power in their own right, but only that which has been granted by God. Yet the bodily remains and other relics of a saint is believed to be holy and might be utilized in certain ceremonies. Originally, saints were mostly martyrs, but over time other considerations became just as prominent.
