Your Office SOS

We are here to help solopreneurs get started in their business. However, once the business gets rolling, things begin to become too much for one person to handle. Unfortunately, the solopreneur is struggling working too much time in their business and not enough time on their business. Thus they begin to drown. They go under in the waves of details and begin to sink. They need to call for help. 

That's when Your Office SOS comes to the rescue. We bring a 100 years of experience to the rescue. We look at the client's workflow and find things we can do for them. We can take enough off their plate to give them time to get ahead of the competition. We also strive to free them so they can take a day off. No one can work a peak proficiency 24/7 365. 

So before you drown in a sea of stress, call Your Office SOS, and we'll turn your life from "crappy to happy."

Things Fall Apart

We live in an age of misunderstanding, distrust, and animosity. How are we going to get along with each other in the world if we have the same conflicts with our next-door neighbor?  

We are as divided as no time that I can ever remember. Politically and religious differences were always there. But in the 1950s, it seemed to start to unravel. First, by 1964, we had race riots and then anti-war protests. This chaos all seemed to culminate in 68 (hey, that rhymes; it could be a slogan) with the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Then it blew up at the democratic convention. 

The summer of  69' took the heat of things for a while. Maybe the race to the moon and Woodstock unified us somewhat. That didn't last long. It seemed we settled down a little for the next 30 years: no significant upheavals and the like. Things were not smooth, but it wasn't quite the wild rollercoaster ride. The boomers were too preoccupied with growing up. 

Then 9/11 hit at the beginning of the new millennium. Again, the U.S. had a common enemy. They were the Dixie Chicks and Sadam Hussain. Even those two mentioned had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks (a good misdirection always quiets the masses). 

Lately, Trump has helped call attention to the great divide we formed. President Obama had little interest in uniting us; he only agitated the divide and used it to his advantage. He learned from the feat of his masters, Jeremiah Wright and Saul Alinsky. 

Now we are at polar opposites, and no compromise seems possible. The middle has eroded, and things are going to boil over. We can't agree on basics like what is a life, what is a person's sex, and what is a pandemic. 

I took the blog title from the novel Things Fall Apart One of Chinua Achebe's many achievements in his acclaimed first novel, Things Fall Apart, is his relentlessly unsentimental rendering of Nigerian tribal life before and after the coming of colonialism. First published in 1958, just two years before Nigeria declared independence from Great Britain, the book eschews the obvious temptation of depicting pre-colonial life as a kind of Eden. Instead, Achebe sketches a world in which violence, war, and suffering exist, but are balanced by a strong sense of tradition, ritual, and social coherence.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20.

Live with intention.

Make an impact in the world. Don't sit back and wait until tomorrow. The time we live in is exciting and adventurous. Of course, it's scary, but put that in perspective, when has it not been a scarry time since the garden of Eden. 

There is no time to take action and make your mark like the present. Just do something, try, fail, or succeed, and you will be moving forward. Be proactive and live your life to its fullest. The Lord Jesus had a lot to say about the wise use of your talents and abilities. 

Make your time on this side of eternity count for something. Find your purpose and make it happen. I said purpose, not find your passion. Following passions is dangerous and transitory. Passion follows a good purpose. 

Independence Day 2022

 The price of freedom is costly. Whether it be freedom from sin, it cost God the death of His Son, the patriots to a man lost everything they had. If you want to be free of a boss and a J.O.B.(just over broke) you have to start your own business, it will cost you plenty, lack of security, risk, and many other challenges you have to pay for to be free. 

You can't say give me liberty or death and still want the government to be your nanny. You can't have it both ways; you can't have your cake and eat it too. 

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch; there ain't no such thing as government "entitlements." You are fooling yourself if you think free health care will not eventually be tied to bureaucrats in your business telling you what you can eat and drink, how much you can weigh, etc.

This fourth of July, declare independence and take a free stance whenever and wherever possible.
