Life is Too Short!


Back when I first started blogging, I recall an instance where someone questioned my credibility as a writer. The comment was: “What makes you an expert on anything?
At first I was crushed. Then I realized I had either hit a nerve with someone or maybe they were jealous.
It’s easy to critique someone.
I don’t have 3 college degrees or permission from an old school newspaper. What makes me an “expert” is I have a passion for what I do and make a significant difference in people’s lives.
People have basic needs. What’s more important than providing to that demand?
Don’t let bullies stand in your road of progress. We normally refer to those people as “bosses” in the workplace.
Be your own boss.
Rely on yourself and take advantage of the resources available.
Start something. Don’t waste another day.
Life is too short to not do something meaningful that Matters!

The 12 Steps of a Dysfunctional Business



1. The System creates the rules.

2.   If you have a question, ask us.

3. We create rules, but we don’t discern right from wrong.

4. We are not responsible for enforcing the rules.

5.   If you don’t believe so, ask us.

6. The enforcement is up to whoever chooses to follow or interpret.   .

7. Management is always correct and not responsible.

8. We just create the rules.

9.   If you don’t understand the rules- neither do we.

10. We just make the rules.

11. If you don’t believe us we will find someone who does!

12. If we cannot find someone to agree- see step one.

Why I Created - THE RUST BELT CHRONICLES BLOG?


The Rust Belt Chronicles is a result of witnessing, watching and learning the habits of the Industrial Age mindset. The years of going from a boom town to perhaps the new (move over Youngstown, Ohio) - "The Rust Belt Capital of the World" in sunny Mansfield, Ohio has taught me not to accept the rerun of "Ground Hog Day" from the rust belt theater.

The mindset isn't limited to the remaining or former factory employees. Over the years, it has extended itself throughout various institutions, corporations, and businesses rewarding those: that don't question authority, are unable to think for themselves and strive to be a "cog in a wheel" and nothing more!

Except these days, there is no gold watch. Instead you are laid-off, downsized, outsourced, or re-structured. Oh, by the way; all those years of being compliant, following the manual, and accepting mediocrity basically qualifies you for a job in food service.

The Rust Belt Chronicles is also for CEO's, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senior Management, directors, supervisors, business owners, public relations, marketing, and human resources (?) personnel.

It's not 1959- the old rules of marketing, public relations and employee treatment have changed. The top-down management approach is ineffective and the marketing approach of many businesses is outdated. It's time to change how we manage and do business.

What was once a blessing- is now a curse for many people living in the Rust Belt.

But it doesn't really matter where you live- when it comes to the Industrial Age. We are all in the same wagon train. The American dream has changed profusely.

We sense the frustration in dealing with something you don't understand or was never mentioned at school. That total feeling of futility and not knowing what to do next. Perhaps you're laid-off, jobless, hopeless, tired of being a "cog in the wheel", mentally beat-down, emotionally drained and verbally abused or bullied.

The Rust Belt Chronicles is about:

  1. Evaluating your life and your goals.
  2. Discovering your passion to find the work you love.
  3. Thinking "outside-the-box."
  4. The courage to conquer fear.
  5. Breaking down the barriers in the workplace.
  6. The power of social media marketing.
  7. Eliminating debt, so you can live like no one else.
  8. Starting your own business or becoming an entrepreneur.
  9. Doing something meaningful, that matters.
  10. Ending procrastination and doing it now!
  11. Giving you the personal tools to work with to achieve success.
  12. THE FREEDOM TO LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

Whether you are an employee, management or unemployed- we can turn this predicament around. The old days are gone. It's time to move on, recover and change your life.

Please join me by following The Rust Belt Chronicles as together- we will make a difference!
