Getting Well

2012-10-21T08:14:32-04:00

What does getting well have to do with launching an on core venture?  Everything. In the second half of life, the behavior patterns we established in the first half start shouting at us. This takes form in issues such as Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, Obesity, Depression, Boredom, Fatigue, and so on. We believe that the first step in [...]

Referral Marketing

2012-10-10T06:17:16-04:00

When I first started networking for my new business I was clueless. Needless to say, this grated on my nerves as it clashes with my mask of being an expert. So, I set out to rectify the situation in short order.  I started talking to experts about establishing networks which would help promote my business. [...]

Generation 13

2012-07-03T08:40:47-04:00

No, this is not about the next series on the "House" genre… In the book "Generations, The History of America's future 1584 to 2069" published back in 1991, authors William Strauss and Neil Howe make a compelling case that the “Boomer” generation really only goes through 1960 and actually started in 1943. They contend that [...]

Integral Relationships

2012-06-14T08:06:02-04:00

In my last post I discussed the concept of OnCore or Integral relationships. In order to have on OnCore relationship, at least one partner must be aware and living an on core Life 3.0.  For both partners to be in that frame of mind is a bonus, but more often than not, people and relationships [...]

Life 3.0 from an Integral Perspective

2012-06-03T10:52:37-04:00

As readers of this blog have probably noticed, I have been struggling with an exact definition for “Life 3.0.” I know that it occurs after a "shift" and that it typically occurs during the second half of life. When I first enrolled in the IPEC coach training program, after paying my tuition but before attending [...]

Disposable

2012-05-25T15:08:44-04:00

Are males disposable? About a year ago, I listened to a very well done series called the Evolutionary Man Summit.  Michael Dowd, a former Unitarian Universalist preacher, that I had the pleasure of hearing in person a few years ago, comments in the series that men are raised to be disposable. I grew up with [...]

Does Everyone Shift?

2012-05-17T08:00:29-04:00

At some point, probably yes. But does everyone also become aware? In one of my favorite “lite” movies, Pretty Woman, a rich venture capitalist and a pretty young prostitute both shift to new ways of being in just four days.  The VC decides to begin working with the father figure of his newly acquired company to [...]

Be Happy in your Work

2012-05-10T08:00:29-04:00

A favorite movie line of mine,– and my children will tell you I have many,  comes from  Colonel Saito  in the Bridge on the River Kwai who says “Be happy in your work”. For a long time I tried to apply that advice to my own life. Last week, I was in NY, steps away [...]

Encore Entrepreneurs

2012-05-03T08:00:21-04:00

According to a Met Life study, 12 million Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 want to start either small businesses or non-profits, create jobs, and meet community needs. Are you one of these folks? Michael Gerber talked years ago about the myths surrounding entrepreneurs in his book “E-Myth”.  Though Michael and the E-Myth [...]

“The Matrix”

2012-04-26T08:02:48-04:00

This morning, my life partner and I were discussing what the characteristics of the target client base for my company which is On-Core Ventures is.  The company originated with a goal to assist the Twelve million reported Encore Entrepreneurs (EE’s) who are looking to create a business that is “On-Core.” When starting my search for these EE’s, [...]
