Contrary to popular belief, constructive criticism is not “bad”. If done right, it’s constructive — hence the name. Constructive is helpful. Unfortunately, most people see “criticism” of any sort as confrontational. And most people think confrontation is “bad” because it ruffles feathers.+ Robert Ringer, whose tagline is A Voice of Sanity in an Insane World™, has this to say about that: “I’ve always felt that the saddest way to go through life would be to never even make a ripple. Whether it’s Al Gore or George Bush, Michael Moore or Jerry Falwell, the Dalai Lama or Rupert Murdoch, they all have one thing in common: They make ripples. In fact, they make big ripples.”+ Fellow how-to synthesizer Chris Campbell explains how to make big ripples for fun and profit. But, just remember, it ain’t about intentionally seeing who you can upset or make angry. However, it DOES mean speaking straight, direct, and not fearing being different. Worrying about offending people who get their noses out of joint, because they don’t like what you say or do, is just pointless.

“Each year we [MIT Technology Review] identify 50 companies creating new opportunities by combining important technologies and business savvy. Some are large companies that seem to be growing ever larger, like Amazon and Apple. Others, like IBM, or General Electric are old-guard giants betting on technology renewal. And the list is full of ambitious startups like SpaceX, which is changing the economics of space travel with reusable rockets…”+ My bemusement (the head-shaking kind): When I hear excuses like, “Yeah, wish I could invest in them; but they’re too expensive.” Or, “The price of one share of most of them is even beyond what I’ve got available to ride their coattails,” I often wonder if those people understand long-term value investing.+ M4 Insider member?

Today, more so than ever before in history, there are really NO EXCUSES to MAKE money from your passions and talents. The resources and know-how available are amazing.
