I received an invitation to become a “Life Coach” from one of my FB friends I’ve never met.
It got me thinking: What would I throw together if somebody offered me $10,000 dollars to put down my bus tub and go on for them at the Marriott because they were too drunk to stand?
That led to “Ten Points to the J-Squared Method of Livelier Living” which I am just making up now.
1. Always pay cash, especially to me! Things like checks and credit cards imply a belief in a future which does not yet exist. We make our own futures with J-Squared and the future is brighter when I (and by extension you) have lots of cash.
2. Liquidity is Destiny. (See Point 1.)
3. Debt equals Enslavement. That’s why I don’t take IOUs. Why would I want to enslave You to Me? Okay, role-playing, fine or maybe as a form of barter if you’re a little tight, but in general see Point 1.
4. Never say Always. Always.
5. God asks you for Faith and Trust. I ask you to see Point 1. Who’s asking you for more?
6. Okay, Point 5 was a trick. I’m not asking.
7. Never ask. Always.
8. I want you to imagine all your bank accounts and all their PIN numbers and all your credit cards and all their verification codes in your mind. Now to each one of them I want you to add the Special Trust that exists between you and me. See that Special Trust. Now I want you to make that Special Trust real by opening a Special Trust with both our names on it with my name as Sole Executer. Once you have done that you will have made something real that once existed only in my mind. Cool, huh?
9. I may need your signature on a few things. That’s not money or emotional commitment. That’s just ink. It’s all just ink.
10. If you make it through all ten points, maybe you are ready to attempt the next Ten Points. (See Point 1. Always.)
I could do this….
