Economic Zeitgeist and Bringing Power Back To The Citizens

When I was in graduate school, I had the discipline to study hard, get involved in various club organizations that catered to diversifying my abilities in business and finance but always felt that something was lacking. We would learn about economics within the capitalist and communist systems, pros and cons of globalization, big government, the instability of non-entrepreneurial markets and every other concept that catered to our professor’s desire to legitimize their theories by blasting out intimidating formulas that were true in theory but impossible in real life. If an economic stimulus is fully functional on paper due to formulas and calculation yet has never and will never work in the ‘real world’, what’s the point?

I’m eight years out of university and running a clean environment facility manufacturing everything from surgical equipment to dual circuit transistors and as I’ve grown into my career I’ve tossed the text books as a reference as it was getting me nowhere and started researching strategic economics with special attention focused on turning corporations and urban landscapes around from the black hole of absolute demise to a gleaming representation of socially responsible economic turnaround, without the government’s corrupt fangs plunging into the veins of the community. This concept of economic strategy has been labeled ‘Zeitgeist Economics’, a completely original political economic strategies concept that turns a blind eye to the bloodletting concepts by unproven governmental organizations that jack taxes, minimize citizen options, push back retirement age to correct the mistakes of the ill-informed yet uncompromising politicians that don’t know the difference between political economics and sock mending.

The headmaster and intellectual giant leading the Zeitgeist Economics movement is James Scott, Founder of a global strategies firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions in Manhattan, New York. The term ‘Economic Zeitgeist’ means the awakening of a population fueled by the intellectual capacity and drive to demand change with data driven evidence of establishment perpetuated failure. The movement doesn’t sacrifice momentum with time wasting concepts like protests or letter writing; instead those involved in this movement use the unwritten rules of the system to force change within the system. Most E.Z. participants have MBA or PhD. degrees with powerful legislative experience to create PAC, Lobby and think tank organizations that assist them in forcing the hand of change.

The incredible truth about this movement is that it parallels a broad spectrum of mind-blowing and obscenely cutting edge competencies for prompt and precise economic action within a target region. At the forefront of this movement, James Scott is a member of some of the world’s most elite economic think tanks that study and fill in the gaps for new legislation that will be passed today and without the expert analysis of Scott and his colleagues, the damages of inferior or irresponsible lawmakers would, otherwise, rain down five years from now and the blame will be passed and there would be no accountability while global citizens carry the debt load.

I’ve subscribed to the RSS feed for James Scott’s company and this was one of the most recent blog posts placed online. One of the characteristics of Scott that has catapulted him to the absolute pinnacle of global economics with an entire movement following his lead is his strategic, yet tactical, methodical yet well-paced process and a track record that leaves him in a class by himself. His writing is philosophical (with its flow sounding almost poetic) and attracts those who are looking for the well rounded expertise of a genuine economist with real life capabilities to save countries, cities and global corporations from self-destruction. Public recognition of his supreme abilities come with the occasional radio or magazine interview but for the most part it is the massive blogging of economists, MBA’s, PhD’s and international think tank members and professionals that have seen the end result of his mind-blowing economic turnaround, corporate structuring and political economic strategies.

I love the way the below entry reads. I get it all, philosophy, poetic flow, encyclopedia size content condensed into one page and the satisfaction of knowing that I’m reading some notes jotted down by a man that will eventually be referred to in the history books as the father of the Economic Zeitgeist movement, the process of Zeitgeist Economics and the for having the guts to tear out the eyes of the establishment and pass the keys to the kingdom to the citizens of the world as he guides us all on how to take our civilization back from political corruption and a debt driven hodgepodge concoction of monetary stew.

Executive Death Agreement: Executing Inhibitors That Cripple Organizations By James Scott, CEO of Princeton Corporate Solutions

One of the most critical realities that a CEO of a public organization must face is the process and decision to die; death not in a physical sense, rather a snuffing out of the ego. Ego driven entities always fail and those who lead organizations under the false pretense of arrogance soon find out that this arrogance is nothing more than a temporary ‘fix’ to filling an emotional void within themselves with rapidly evaporating gravel. Emotionally led people lack stability due to the swings generated by the primal brain, a reactionary pleasure seeking portion of the mind offering the fight or flight, animalistic yet un-evolved action center.

One who leads with the ego distracts those he manages through the blindness of the emotions. Staring through a decision making lens corroded with the decay and grime of ongoing emotional inhibitors disallows the visual clarity that comes with a more evolved analytical perspective that ‘responds’ rather than ‘reacts’. A ‘response’ takes into consideration timing, tact, concept evolution, perception and has, at all times an eye towards the future. A ‘reactionary’ expression is fueled by all areas of the un-evolved ego: pride, insecurity, pure emotion, fight or flight and other regrettable and consistently damning actions no longer relevant yet still genetically present today from prehistoric man.

With the evolution and intellectual development of man comes the development of the analytical skills that allow one to dissect information and critique various responses before an idea can crash through the minds recently evolved critical faculty and plunge into the reactionary, animalistic primal brain which will spew forth an ocean of emotion driven reactions with universally negative outcomes.

Decision making via calculated and analytical processes minus the emotional cancer causing agents that cloud and stunt a corporation’s longevity and prosperity will attract strategic alliances, create comfort zones for much needed investors and streamline expansion strategies due to tactical templates designed by a C level executive that can think objectively without the collateral damage stemming from emotional reaction.

America’s Top 10 Consulting and Global Strategies Firms

Internationally, the top business strategies firms and corporate consulting firms are in the United States yet operate here and abroad. The Top Ten firms when taking into consideration globalization capabilities, governmental client base, regional rebound power, corporate ‘Who’s Who’ client base and overall exposure would easily be McKinsey & Co. based in New York, Bain & Company out of Boston, The Boston Consulting Group, Monitor Co. centralized out of Cambridge, Arthur D. Little, the omnipresent Booz Allen & Hamilton, newcomer Princeton Corporate Solutions a recent transplant to NYC from Philadelphia, Mercer Management Consulting in DC, AT Kearney in lonely Chicago and Mitchell Madison Group, another New York Madison Ave veteran. These companies have their strengths and weaknesses.

One universal strength is that they have unique and targeted niches. They are lean and mean and able to turn on a dime when making a decision. From an employment perspective these companies have more downside than upside. If you’re considering working at any one of these firms expect long hours, seniority rule (last to be hired is the first to go) which works out well for those that can hide behind their desk and duck behind the computer monitor when management comes by to lower the hatchet on the non-performers and rookies.

If you’re looking to hire one of these companies know what sets them apart from other firms and why you are paying the premium for their efforts. The Boston Consulting Group specializes in strategies consulting known for creating matrices and diagrams to clarify issues, Bain stresses that all its strategy recommendations must be immediately useful totally customized around the client, McKinsey & Co is focused mainly on the ‘long term’ strategy that builds traction over time best suited for those experiencing current organic growth and want to maintain it with a plan that will begin to yield scalability results a year or two down the road. (note: McKinsey & Co. is a hiring giant with over 9,000 consultants globally.

Princeton Corporate Solutions is a small firm with massive international exposure to senior governmental officials. Their unique blend of economic/political regional and corporate turnaround has made them one of the most powerful micro-corps on the international scene. (note: it’s pointless to try to engage their HR director for a job because, as difficult as this is to believe, they don’t have a human resource department, if you’re the best in your field of expertise, they’ll find you, spooky.)

Are you an MBA? How’s it feel to have wasted your time? Booz & Co, McKinsey and Princeton Corporate Solutions want real world experience and pedigree as opposed to a hiring decision based off of educational and solely analytical.

IPO Initial Public Offering, IPO Invest & IPO Investing

One of the most profitable investment solutions for an accredited investor is the almighty Pre IPO, seed capital opportunity. Though extremely profitable this transaction is not for the non accredited or amateur investor. The risks are numerous such as how long it will take the company to achieve it’s symbol, post public market creation and investor relations, corporate publicity, SEC audit and the ‘C’ level executives’ professional pedigree just to name a few.

But when one takes all of this into consideration it is ideal to team up with a brokerage or consulting firm who specializes in the task of corporate strategies and IPOs. When a motivated and seasoned investor aligns himself/herself with a solid firm with who has access to IPO’s it can be an extremely profitable venture and one of the few win/win situations in the investment industry.

Having access to a steady stream of Pre IPOs allows an investor to diversify in highly sought after and deeply discounted seed stock and also creates a rewarding solution for the IPO facilitators as they are raising capital and qualifying the company for it’s offering.

There are a few things that an investor should consider when seeking a strategic alliance with an IPO facilitator: how long on average does it take the firm to complete a transaction from S1 to Symbol? What does the post public Investor Relations strategy look like to create the market? Do they have a market maker or broker dealer ready to sponsor the stock? What does the client company’s executive staff, business model, board of directors and strategic partnerships look like? And who is doing the pre IPO audit on the client company?

These are just a few things to consider when finding stepping out to get involved with the much sought after pre IPO investment market.

The author of this article is not a broker dealer or licensed securities agent and one should always seek the consultation of a licensed agent before getting involved with an investment of any kind. This article is for information purposes only.

Find out how to globalize your business or You’re your Company Public , Find out how to Structure Your Company to grow fast and raise capital

Take Your Business Public: OTCBB, Reverse Mergers, Pink Sheets

Whether you’re trying to raise debt or equity capital there are still certain unwritten rules that apply that cater to the mentality of today’s investor and funding community. Certainly there are scores of private placement memorandum and business plan chop shops that wouldn’t know how to properly consult with your company or write a fundable document even if they wanted to but they will gladly take your money to throw together a template and try to pass it off as custom work.

The issue is this, it’s not necessarily the consultant, though these fly-by-nights shoulder a large portion of the blame, but the client usually doesn’t even have the proper structure in place to attract a funding source even if they had the most incredible PPM and business ever to hit the venture capital marketplace. Here is a simple (very basic) way to evaluate your company to find out if you are properly structured to attract capital. Have a corporate meeting and ask yourselves the following questions: What type of corporate structure do you have and why did you choose that particular structure? Break down your executive infrastructure, where do your individual executives stand in your industry, do the unthinkable, Google everyone’s names; are the people running your company real industry players? Are all the basic positions accounted for (president, CFO, controller etc)? Next, look at your advisory board and board of directors. If by some miraculous act of God you actually have these two groups represented in your company, how did you qualify them? Sorry but if you have an attorney on your board because he’s, um…well, an attorney, that’s not good enough.

You need an industry specific legal guru who not only spells out the intricacies of your business genre’s regulation but they must also be actively qualifying potential strategic partnerships as alliances for your company. He should be reaching into his client base and actively picking companies that could enhance your company in distribution or in any other way that will have a profitable outcome for all involved. Each of the members must be serving a similar purpose.

Next, on what criteria are you basing your share price or loan amount? If you don’t have a clear cut ‘use of proceeds’ model, you need one. This and many, many other questions need to be asked before you are actually ready to raise capital and in all reality, until your corporate structure is in place you shouldn’t even attempt to write a business plan or a private placement memorandum. If you are serious about setting up your company to attract investors you need a turnaround consultant, you can’t do this on your own. There is an entire industry that centers around structuring companies for their first and ongoing capital raise.

Before you blackball your company by prematurely attempting to raise capital, the critical concepts you need to keep in mind are (precisely in this order): corporate structure, infrastructure, advisory board, board of directors, use of proceeds, business plan, private placement memorandum, investor finder, funding. Look at each aspect listed here as its own item, break it down and analyze every minute aspect of each element and look at everything objectively and eventually your company will evolve into a structure that is fundable and stabilized for years to come.

Need Investment Capital? Go Public On The OTCBB

Most companies who are on the venture capital trail are not set up properly to attract investors. When an investor looks at your business plan and private placement memorandum they are looking for certain things. Of course funding sources look for the obvious, a solid business model, positive cash flow, industry genre with solid future growth, recession proof business (if there even is such a thing) and minimal debt.

Countless companies are turned down for funding because they lack the basics such as: an advisory board, board of directors, solid executive staff with a well groomed pedigree, reasonable share price, business plan and PPM that spell out the risks for the investor and an original marketing strategy that covers all the angles. These are just a few of the most common mistakes that companies make out of naivety and by not taking the time to hire an expert to properly structure them to make the entity appeal to investors.

Seasoned expansion and turn-around consultants can step into a company and immediately zone in on the issues that will hinder a client’s investment magnetism. Often times it only takes 2 to 3 weeks to completely reorganize a company to make it stand out like a beacon in the turbulent finance industry. If you are seriously considering the idea of raising capital with a private placement memorandum, traditional institutional loans, venture capital or a public offering don’t be penny wise and dollar foolish.

Spend some money and hire a consultant who is completely submerged in the finance industry to take control of the elements of your corporation that are seen as ‘black eyes’ to investors so that you can achieve the capital you’re seeking.

The reality is, raising capital for your company is easy and straight forward if you’ve taken the time to examine your business objectively and sought out the expert analysis of an industry expert consultant who will run your company through a formula and make the necessary changes to increase your ability to raise capital.

Reverse Merger Blog – Shell Merger- Reverse Merger Accounting

Private Placement Memorandum authoring and the process of taking one’s company public are services that require extensive experience and the ability to look at a deal objectively and peripherally to evaluate all the angles to enhance the ability of the client to achieve funding in a timely manner.

Many times, when I’m hired to structure a company before funding, they will be under the impression that my evaluation is a mere formality and they are ready to go. Often I’m the bearer of bad news when I have to break it to the client that their company has more holes than Swiss cheese and 30 to 60 days away from starting the fund raising process.

They will often get a second and then third opinion and usually run into the same thing before they eventually find their way back to our firm. As they call around to consulting firms they perpetually experience the ‘hard sell’ by firms who ‘need’ the business because they lack the rewards and referrals that come with cultivating each client relationship because they take on and spit out deals so fast they hardly remember their client’s name during the transaction.

This mentality dominates the larger firms because of their gargantuan overhead while the boutique firms can take a more personal approach because they have a steady flow of business and referrals because they are not stressed about bringing in the next big deal so they can meet payroll and keep their lights on. The smaller companies that focus on turnaround consulting, private placement memorandum authoring, top tier business plan writing and taking companies public usually take a one on one approach to the consulting process and will rarely pressure clients to sign on because their phone is ringing off the hook with previous clients who want to hire them for the next stage in the evolution of their company’s growth.

This business is all about relationships. Ditch the consultant that applies the high pressure sales tactics and seek out the smaller, more personalized groups that don’t ‘need’ your business but will cultivate and value it.

Expansion Consultant – Importing To Asia- Imports To China

In these monetarily depressing times businesses are looking outside the box for a localized injection of economic stimulus. Banks are hording their bags of government bailout money while the small business owner is forced to fend for themselves. Nothing but doom and gloom seem to infest all aspects of present and near future financial forecasts.

There is, however, a fiscal niche being carved out as we speak by wealthy, aggressive and eager angel investors. Angel investors, private investors, micro ticket investment partnerships and other alternative financing groups are spearheading a global rally to buy into promising mid-size companies from all industry genres. The elements of a viable company prime for investment are solid and realistic growth potential, talented ‘who’s who’ executive staff with the right educational and professional pedigrees, minimal debt, a solid business plan laying out every minute intricacy that could affect growth, financial return and the exit strategy.

Another important element that is often overlooked but is a mandatory prerequisite for the SEC regulated exchange of cash for equity is a Private Placement Memorandum. A Private Placement Memorandum takes advantage of three powerful Regulation D Rule exemptions (Rule 504, Rule 505 and Rule 506) these are technical documents that spill the beans to the potential investor. In a PPM all the financial and industry risks are put on the table as well as stock prices, a breakdown of fund raising benchmarks and what the money will be used for etc.

A Private Placement Memorandum can be costly if you hire a law firm to custom author the package for you but there are consulting firms that will do this for as little as $4500.

If you are serious about raising funds for your company you need to add a Private Placement Memorandum to your list of necessary documents to hand off to the investors in order to get the cash you need in an expedient manner. Importing to China, Imported to China and Imports to China

Selling Shareholder Offering: The Key To Raising Fast Capital For Pre-Public Companies. As a consultant who has taken many companies public on the OTCBB (Over The Counter Bulletin Boards), consulted on even more and turned around and structured more companies I can even count, there are a few common threads inherent in all of them.

Most of the companies pursuing capital from angel investors, private investors, private equity firms or small groups of professionals looking for a quick in and out situation with rapid capitalization did three things that made all the difference in streamlining their raise.

First the executives structured their entity to attract investors which by default strengthened their corporate infrastructure. Now they are proposing investment opportunities from more of a position of strength.

Second they chose a team (in these cases they chose our consulting firm) with a proven track record of success with organizing companies for acquisition, merger and taking companies public.

The third element that is common in most successful enterprises which are seeking a first round of seed capital to fund their ‘going public’ ambitions is demonstrating confidence to the investor with a “selling shareholder offering”. Obviously this last element tests the skill of the consultants going back and forth with the SEC during the comments stage but this demonstrates confidence and organization by the company wishing to raise capital.

A ‘selling shareholder offering’ tells the investor (if not purely in the initial documents then in the phone conferences leading up the a check being cut) that the company has an organized pre public and post public investor relations strategy, general corporate publicity strategy and a market maker that’s built to last (mostly the former than the later). By offering seed investors the ability for massive profitability by buying your seed shares for fifty cents with a public offering price anticipated at $2.00. What real investor would turn this down?

Offer your seed investors an ‘easy in, quick out’ funding option and watch them swarm to your offering in droves. Let these investors create your float and let your company’s performance and hardcore investor relations take care of the rest!

OTCBB – OTC – Serious Corporate Publicity- Over The Counter Bulletin Board

We get calls all day, every day from companies that talk about ‘wanting’ real corporate publicity that will transform their company but few have the stomach for what it really takes and even fewer have the financial dedication it takes to obliterate their competition and take their rightful place at the top of the food chain.

Of course it’s important to cater to the traditional media (TV, radio, newspaper, industry journals, etc) but the genre of publicity that wins every time is viral publicity consisting of video, social and news bookmarks, article submissions, press release submissions and photo/logo sharing sites. The reality is online publicity is where you’re going to completely annihilate your competitors and claim your rightful position.

When you take into consideration the ultra powerful medium and stealth of viral publicity, all other promotional genres cower in comparison. Online your pre public or post public company will claim instant viewers and a cult-like following that TV and radio can’t even remotely compare. Billions of searches take place every day and it is the viral publicists job to do what SEO and traditional publicists can’t do and that is get solid search engine ranking while simultaneously bringing in powerful results that are targeted and strategically placed.

Forget pay per click, it’s a waste of your time. crush everything in your path with viral publicity that claims power positions on the natural search results on all search engines. You must have a solid combination of mediums at use to take control of targeted keywords and industry genres.

So the next time you tell your self-proclaimed publicist or seo agent that you need publicity that will claim your position and deliver virtually instantaneous results for your company, you’ll understand why there is silence on the other end of the line…because they have no clue as to what it takes to get serious results that will rip and shred everything in your path. The powerful combination of viral publicity and massive exposure will force-feed your concept to the willing masses who are pleading with a company in your industry to step up and spoon-feed the very info that your company is offering.

Stop wasting time and money with so called ‘solutions’ that don’t work. You need a publicist, investor relations specialist and SEO demigod that will take you by the hand and pave a way for your company to succeed.

Do You Need Massive Investor Relations that will put your stock price through the roof? Call Princeton Corporate Solutions at 267-233-0183 Taking Your Company Public and Stock awareness was never so easy.

Take Your Company Public: Is Business A Form Of War?

So is business a form of warfare? If it is who are the pawns and who are the kings? Let’s look at the facts and past the 1980s clichs that chant: Greed Is Good and Business Is War as those chanting these phrases are often on the sidelines and not gifted enough to be on the field and playing and have no choice but to live vicariously through those they are jealously watching.

Everyone wants to be a player but in this industry you need a lot more than drive you need connections and capability. By connections I mean global political, global corporate, international finance and more. By capability I mean nerves of steel, the ability to bath in acid and swim with sharks and eat class for breakfast. This is one of the most stressful industries I know of with a burnout rate that is off the charts and any other global consultant that I know has struggled with their demons to stay on the top of their game. Business, by all categorical definition is War.

There are winners, losers, economies rise and economies crumble all because of global commerce. Global commerce as you know is control over the masses by an elite few. The elite are not the government officials as they themselves are pawns in a much larger game that even they don’t understand. Commerce and finance are numbers on a computer screen and fractional reserve lending, the IMF and other organizations at the end of marionette strings to impose the will of the elite on the global populace.

War in the form of economics is ongoing whereas war with guns and the military is to make a statement. Economic warfare is trade sanctions and limiting technology that will enable a developing nation to grow which will disable their industrial capabilities so that instead of a thriving economy they are dependent on the involvement by industrialized nations. With the Bretton Woods Convention in 1944 and the reconstruction of Europe and the doing away with the gold standard the above mentioned Numbers On A Screen are dictated by who holds the most economic collateral to enforce their idea of numbers.

This group of elites has the economic and military power to impose its will and enforce the idea that the numbers that they place on that screen are etched in stone and if those numbers demonstrate a Loan to a developing nation, though no actual empirical capital has been transferred, that developing nation now becomes a willing pawn in the overall game of economic warfare. So there you have it, business is indeed a form of warfare. This industry of global finance serves as the royal court while those around us are forced to play by the rules we invent and enforce.

I’m not saying that this is a good thing, I’m not exactly proud to be part of the problem but this is the awkward reality. I know you’re waiting for a happy ending or an idea that will help create a solution but I don’t have one.

When my firm is brought in as a strategist and alliance facilitator for global rollups, acquisitions, mergers and IPOs we try to create as many jobs as possible but let me ask you, by creating more jobs are we just perpetuating the problem of the masses being controlled by the few?
