Whilst seated at my desk this week, waiting for others to make their minds up as to whether or not they would ever make their minds up to do anything at all worthwhile, a few thoughts passed through my head which I think to some extent at least shows how so very many people both don’t see the point or in fact even look for it in the first place.
You see we all have far more chances of opportunity than we ever see or recognise. Some however become a legend, like for example the famed story of the goose that laid the golden egg. A solid 24 carat gold egg. Did it’s keeper feed and water it whilst it proceeded to lay more and keep on laying them? No he killed it and opened it up to see if just one more was inside! In his greed and stupidity he killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Not too long ago a dear friend of mine passed away as a result of a serious fall, this man had been an entrepreneur all his life. The number of businesses and enterprises he had been part of was quite literally legend. As was his huge collection of memorabilia from all his past adventures, businesses and meetings with world leaders, film stars, etc, etc. What happened to all this you may ask? Simple, his daughter who inherited the house sent the whole lot to the tip so that she could sell the house as fast as possible with vacant possession. To her a bird in the hand was worth far more than a whole aviary. She actually paid quite a substantial sum of money to have the whole lot cleared. For after all who wants over a million pounds worth of collectable junk and memorabilia nowadays, when instead you can sell a tidy house and only have to pay 40% inheritance tax.
What’s all this to do with the current political banking and employment crisis you may ask? In a word everything, because as you think about your position as a result of it, as you start to see yourself where you are and ask where you could be with a small amount of guidance then maybe you could recognise your golden egg or indeed see your windfall. After all would the man have killed the goose if he had taken a little time to think? My friends daughter, well her face fell when she realised what she had done by being in such a rush for what was a relatively few pennies of her inheritance.
And finally you, that has the most valuable commodity of this world ‘time’. What are you going to do with it? What did you do with it yesterday to benefit you and yours, or last week, even last year? None of that is important if you are able to except that with a little more of the correct knowledge of how to go about something, you could be so very much better off and then instead of giving away your inheritance or cooking your goose you could become that person that you would in fact would envy today.

Devine Stupidity
For me the greatest mistake, silliest concept or if you like the most divine stupidity of the human race is the totally unexplained efforts that people go to to simply be average - why then do we except the term (human race) when for almost 99.99% there is no race at all about it.
We find ways not to stand out, or if we do it is for the wrong reasons. Worst of all we seem to find reasons to make the same mistake and what's more keep on doing it. Millions of us buy a lottery ticket each week knowing full well we are not going to win. Sillier sill is that so many who actually do win have lost the ticket and never claimed the winnings.
I know not everyone in this life is destined to be great at something or other. Yet I do know that so very many more could be and the only effort that would take would be desire. For some one simple lesson, for others a short course of lessons. The only difference between a genius and an idiot is what they know - what they have learnt. Has anyone ever asked you want you want to be - have you ever given it a thought - will you ever give it a thought. Do you still want to be average, if so can you tell me why.
For goodness sake, there is not, as not nor will there ever be a wagers ship coming to earth from outer space. We, us, mankind have created the economy. It wasn't so difficult and can be put back on course by those who have just a bit more about them than being average. Those who instead of giving up in desperation saying that they can't find a job turning to some form of self-employment, or in other words those who are prepared to become well above the 'average'.

The Year of the Self-Employed 2009
The stupidity of the system today is that the body of people who serve themselves best, work the hardest, take the fewest breaks and are rarely off (sick) – are worst treated group of people in the country, possible the whole of the English speaking world!
I refer of course to the self employed. Those un-sung band of heroes from whose ranks have come the people who created every business on the face of the earth since time itself for mankind began. People who today have to pay tax on money before they have even earned it. Who collect tax without even being paid to do so. People who have more regulations to hold them back from performing than can be possibly imagined at first sight. People who in fact have more controls to adhere to than a person serving in a maximum security prison.
When are we going to see a change? In the early 1970’s Milton Freedman and American Economist employed by no less than the British Government of that time, concluded that Britain is a nation of disincentives. So what has changed in over four decades?
Probably the greatest idiosyncrasy in living memory is what we have now in this man-made situation that we have come to call the “Credit Crunch” world wide. Man-made by greed, stupidity and most of all total ignorance of common sense. The upturned pyramid of credit stands on little or even no foundation at all. This ridiculous situation being referred to as confidence. Even more unbelievable is that right now those who are in power seek to restore this ridiculous balance.
In almost every facet the voice of reason goes unheard. As it was with the famous White Line Ship Titanic, being told by all who saw the danger, to slow down. Every single person on board of which wished they had when it was too late. Nothing has changed, the “Credit Crunch” did not have to happen, thousands did not have to be thrown into misery, the question is who cares now?
Your Knoll House Interforum does, in which vein we can reveal to you, our membership today, that we have received correspondence from no less than Buckingham Palace, to hopefully introduce us to the correct member of the House of Lords, with a view to discussing the feelings and ideas of you, our membership.
To Be Continued...

Christmas 2008 followed by New Year 2009 or should it be 'Poor Year' as in Skint 2009 courtesy of the ridiculous Credit Crunch
We of course wish all our members a very merry Christmas and do sincerely hope that you are not going to be part of the ‘Poor Year’.
Over the last several months my son and I have written to over 50 relevant members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons together with many other dignitaries who are in effect responsible or have immediate connections with the down turn not only in the British economy but also on a Worldwide view.
I have to confess that our letters to this date have only been answered by less than a handful of the recipients. It seems to us that whilst everyone including news media and all the various politicians, heads of state, etc are letting off lots of steam or even blowing wind regarding this credit crunch its creation and appearance but yet none of them, absolutely none of them have yet started to even whisper never mind talk about how to reverse the trend.
You the members of Knoll House Interforum and future members to come are the answer to not only the countries needs but quite literally the whole world. Without new ideas, new businesses and new people with determination, this silly state of affairs is likely to continue for several years, not months or days, there are no miracles to get all these idiots out of the mire they have dug for themselves. Now more than ever you should support Knoll House Interforum. It’s where you can find tomorrow whilst all the idiots out there are clueless and likely to remain so.
Once again merry Christmas, we will be happy to hear from all and any members wanting to take on board the philosophy that could turn this world down turn into their personal up turn.

1001 Business Opportunities
At your forum of forums as indeed with the teaching of Mr Salesmanship in years past, more than anything we pride ourselves on the fact we offer more business opportunity advice and not simply the passing of information for resale that so many confused with genuine plans for earnings either part or full-time. Time constructed from real life propositions which are creating wealth for those operating them right now.
It is to this end that our lastest CD production 1001 Business Opportunities will amaze you. Recorded with its special introduction and capped with an epilogue of future production and Forum plans, its 15 chapters will require that you listen to them many times over to gain from the plain commonsense that prevails all through this disc set.
So many times the obvious eludes us. In a recent Knoll House Interforum survey we conducted through the membership, no-one observed a question specifically placed within the paper the easy answer to which would have made you a millionaire in just seven moves. Like so many other things around you the answer is simple when you know it. This is yet another example of our e-book The Forumla For Success. As the most famed scientist of all time said in an interview ‘genius is the ability to see the obvious’ and at your Forum we try so hard to show you exactly that. 1001 Business Opportunities will show you masses of relevant opportunities which surround you once exposed. Our title is not trying to be facetious. Open your mind with us and this disc set. The number of business opportunities this disc will show you simply by thinking together with it are quite seriously almost countless and far in advance of its numbered title. Working with this disc set will further illustrate the method or a style of thinking that to this date has benefited all who are able to embrace it or adopt it. Moreover it is the system that not only your Forum operates upon but indeed the free world of enterprise itself.
Please enjoy this incredible four disc set which you will need to listen to many times to hear its full message.
I hope to keep you fully in the picture of all developments and look forward to some day meeting the so very many of you whose hand I have yet to shake.
