‘THE COUNCIL’ OF QUALIFIED MEN “COUNCIL, noun: an advisory, deliberative, or legislative body of people formally constituted and meeting regularly. COUNSEL, noun: 1. Advice, especially that given, (Formally: 1. in accordance with the rules of convention or etiquette.) QUALIFIED, adjective: 1. Officially recognized as being trained to perform a particular job; certified.” (Oxford Languages) A ‘Council of Qualified Men’ (CQM), is made up of highly experienced, and knowledgeable Men, which is similar to a ‘Council of Qualified Women’ (CQW). Each Council provides its own Specialized Diversity of Professionals, of which, the other could not. A meeting of the Minds between the two Councils, brings insight, and Wisdom, for which, without, they would both be severely lacking. However, Counseling from Qualified Men, is needed, in order to forge a Correct, and Positive future for young men, in order to, Direct and Lead the next generation towards a successful future. Without it, Men are, for the most part, doomed to repeat the failed mistakes of their predecessors, thereby wasting valuable time, and effort on proven failed endeavors of the past, and engaging in ‘HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE’ behavior at an ‘Extremely Higher’ rate than Women in a similar predicament. Irrespective of naysayers, the United States Military, at present, presents structural evidence of the aforementioned Councils via, formal Councils of Men and Women e.g. (Senior/Junior Enlisted & Officers Clubs), and also, Informal Councils of Men, and Woman e.g. (E4 Mafia/Barracks Leaders), on an interpersonal Barracks to Drill Hall level. Case in point, a Man, ‘No matter How Qualified’, could no more walk into a Female Barracks, and Counsel Women on the interpersonal resolution skills needed to mediate female challenges encountered within the Military, and/or Vice Versa. However, an Informal Council of Qualified Women could, and Does, Every Day. The aforementioned was said, to say this. CQM’s, and CQW’s need to be Cultivated, and Directed towards a Positive, and Pre-planned direction that benefits the Whole, or a ‘Rouge Element’ Will eventually Metastasize, and direct their followers towards Chaos. P.S. A Council is only as good as its Structure, and Rules. Because a lack of Valid Structure, and Rules creates a Chaotic Council, … GEN X, Out.

Dutton can become a Legend. Dutton would be remembered as the Legend who removed after office benefits to ex Prime Ministers, he should legislate to stop this, many including Turnbull and Rudd either turn on their party or say and do the wrong thing. Agree 100%, Andrew. In fact all Albanese Labor should pay back money they have got since March 2022, also super because they have failed to govern so badly. Albanese should not get a after term office staff benefits or travel, because he could not help Australians during his term, so he will definitely not be able to help after his term. Also all property like Albanese’s second hand Cliff house and Wongs second hand ruin should be confiscated and money given back. None of Albanese Labor have earnt one red cent.

I am so grateful to have Emily as a client and excited to continue seeing her portfolio grow. 🏢 🏛 🤑 There are so many great nuggets but here are a few of my key takeaways: Investing in notes provides consistent and economically resistant monthly cash flows ✅ Investment amounts range from $5,000 to $250,000 (or more!) ✅Active investors can earn 10-12% net yield on their investment ✅Passive investors can invest $10,000 to $100,000 ✅Passive investors can cash flow 7% ✅Note investing has no depreciation benefits, so this may be a good option for self-directed IRA or other qualified dollars (Kaaren Hall another good intro for you??? 😜 ) ✅Note investing timelines can range from 13 months to 10 years! #money #cashflow #investing #infinitebanking #realestateinvesting #multifamilyinvesting https://lnkd.in/grE7ET6u

Thank you again Joseph Reilly, Succession in a family business starts with deigning the governance system, actually credit that insight to Dennis Jaffe as well as the distinction of voice and vote. I am interested in the focusing practice articulated by Ann Weiser Cornell and the friend + mentor who said you know as advisors we should really be aiming to coregulate with our clients (having a felt sense of the other person) is Ian Marsh. I am not sure if this is a real distinction (and I probably have Bowen wrong) but maybe one approach is to be a calm presence and stay in thinking mode (Bowen), versus being present in your own body and present to the other. (for me its a practice get out of my head /into my body). What is your relationship to money and four ways of being - the four ways of leadership (being) was popularized by the Conscious Leadership Group and Scott Peppet an excellent blog on his website https://scottpeppet.com/ on how would you know if some one has integrated financial capital. The white paper by Diana Chambers Money Wisdom Unlocked (based on the work of Thomas Hubl) is worth careful study Money-Wisdom-Unlocked-US.pdf (dianachambers.com) Credit Matthew Wesley for saying there might be one part of you that is a steward, another part that is an Inheritor etc. And credit for the rest to Jay Hughes, see https://jehjf.org/ Matt Wesley's paper on culture eats structure for breakfast can also be found on that website. There is a FBR paper that talks about 3 levels of conflict in a family enterprise being 1. issue, 2. process and 3. relationship. I cant recall the authors. Hughes talks about a family of affinity and Jaffe talks about creating a generative family in the second generation. The James E. Hughes, Jr. Foundation
