you have been complaining, whining, and  talking about your change of life moment seems like forever  !! your friends who support you know ,marginal friends know, and everyone in between knows. We should make sure that while we are talking about that day that we are ready to be who we say we are .

we sometimes get caught up in the thickness of thin things..which means we talk so much about something to the point that we just like to hear ourselves speak about the success that we  want but do not really believe it is going to happen….  and  when it does happen ..the phone rings ..that big deal is on the phone the one you have spoken about for ages ….

what do you do ?? too many of us lay an egg in this scenario…..The people who do this are chimpanzees.  My Gorillas stand up !! Be prepared to receive this blessing …stay sharp and focused make sure you are well versed on your craft make sure you have your people in place and make your dream happen

so you will be ready …WHEN THAT DAY COMES !!!

The Gorilla Speaks

80 pound chimp or 800 pound gorilla in stores now !! available www.gorillaspeaks.com

So wall street got bailed out… did we ???  probably not ..Most of us small business guys and entrepreneurs will probably still feel the pain for some time to come. The robber barons took care of the robber barons. That is what a dog eat dog society does. So my Gorillas what does that mean for us ??

Absolutely nothing !!! you should not have been waiting in the first place … see no one cares  about you eating but you … the sooner we all figure  that out the better off we will be. Sure us Gorillas care about each other    but we are a rare breed  indeed…

So what is a Gorilla to do ??  well you need to dig deep into your thought process and find that no quit, no retreat, no surrender attitude that is required to navigate this crazy world …. When someone you know and respect   knocks your ideas you need to brush them aside and seek like minded individuals that will feed your soul….. not to give you false hope.. but just to give you HOPE .

The moral of this story is to not let anyone, the markets,robber barons , and even people you love  dictate who you are and more importantly who you can be ….It begs the question  Who tells you what to do and who is your Daddy ??

Answer : …YOU ARE !!!!

NOT PARTICIPATE thats what !!!

See.. now that banks are failing and credit is getting tight we have to make some tough decisions…

The market is correcting itself from the bottom up because clearly those at the top were unsupervised in the worst way!! I am a believer in the free market system and capitalism, but to whom much is given much is required. This is true all over the world. The Banking System is a house of cards anyway. The monies deposited into accounts is immediately used to invest worldwide in the financial markets with the hopes that a return will be made before you the depositor wants to withdraw more than 20% of it back out…wow!! 

In this case (when all those investments (mortgages etc..) went bad  all of the financial powers that be started to choke on bad paper  (debt) and we all started to withdraw funds  and so on and so on….

Now my Gorillas what are we going to do ?  well you should  immediately  rid yourself of all  of the debt that you can…if the  repo man cometh hand him the keys you can always get it back in the future, do not fear. Research the biggest banks there are a few that will remain solid through this mess, here’s a hint (look for the ones that are buying the others) move your money to them and park it for a while..if you are a kamikaze type invest 30-40-% of it  in the market and hold it  into the forseeable future. 

Blue chip stocks that have taken a hit will probably be a better bargain now and will go up eventually into the future….  save your profits from your business rainy days are ahead, you do not need that boat or that jet ski right now !! 

Do not lower your prices  hold steady if possible if you must go up do it out of neccessity to maintain your margins but  not to gouge customers. This too shall pass and they will remember..
