In Search of Assets
(My article as Published in Saipan Tribune)
The only way to take control of your life, raise your standard of living and move beyond merely surviving is to create your own unique product or service that you offer to increasing numbers of people in exchange for the things of value that you desire. This simple formula applies to countries as well as people. A self-sufficient economy has its own products or services of value to export to the world. Similarly, a self-sufficient individual has something of value to exchange in the global marketplace. That thing of value is based on your natural talent, skill, or interest-in other words, your passion!
In the pursuit of your passion, it is important to first identify your assets. An asset is a thought, belief, word, action, person or object that you or others perceive that, when associated with or attributed to you, affects your own, as well as the world's perception of you, and can make the world go wow. This “wow factor” is the quality that makes your passion-centered business viable, profitable and ultimately successful.
You may have noticed, that by this definition, anything can be an asset. It’s true. Who you are, what you do as well as what you possess can all be assets.
Who You Are
"Who you are" is an asset, along with the thoughts, words, actions, people and objects associated with who you are. For example, the thoughts about yourself (your self-perception, your identity) are assets. The thoughts that others have about you (public perception) can be assets. The words that describe who you are (feedback), whether in written or spoken form, represent assets. The actions that correspond to who you are (your mannerisms and behavior and personality) are all potential assets. The people who correspond to who you are (your friends) can be assets. The object that corresponds to who you are (your body), yes all of these are assets.
What You Do
Similarly, "what you do" is an asset, along with the thoughts, words, actions, people and objects associated with that. The thoughts that you and others have about what you do, again, are called perception. The words that correspond to what you do are called knowledge or education. The actions that correspond to what you do are your expressed talents, skills, or your profession. The people who correspond to what you do are your associates, students, or masters. The objects that correspond to what you do are your creations. And, too, all of these can be assets.
What You Have
Finally, "what you have" are also assets along with the thoughts, words, actions, people and objects associated with it. The thoughts you and others have about what you have, again, are called perception. The words that correspond to what you have are called descriptions. The actions that correspond to what you have are called accomplishments. The people who correspond to what you have are your fans, employees, or servants. The objects that correspond to what you have are your possessions.
So again, just to be clear, everything that you are, everything that you do, and everything that you have, all have thoughts, words, actions, people and objects associated with them. All of these resulting thoughts, words, actions, people and objects are your potential assets.
Assets Everywhere
When you really understand the nature of reality, you'll realize that absolutely everything is an asset that can help you reach your goals. In addition, every point of contact with the world is an asset.
How you speak, where you live, what you see out your window, how you smell, the way you walk, the way you sneeze, what you believe, what you don't believe, what you've experienced, what you've never experienced, how you write, your possessions, your musical tastes, your butterfly collection, your comic books, your friends, your enemies, your body, what people say about you, what they don't say about you, the languages you speak, the size shoe you wear, the arrangement of furniture in your living room, your ability to whistle a tune on key, your children, your pets, as well as the way you and others perceive these things, all have value in moving you further toward your goal, and may represent some specific perception, language, action, person or thing that you can use to make things happen the way you wish.
With so many potential assets at your disposal, then, how do you determine which ones are to be harnessed to create a Wow in the minds of the masses to be used as the basis of your passion-centered business? The critical step in choosing and harnessing your assets lies in making the right connections.
If, for example, your goal is to become a famous actor, then you should first expect that everything you have ever seen, done, heard, said or owned offers some way-some connection-to turn that dream into a reality. You might ask, “How can my past experience as a clerk in a bank help me to become a world famous actor? Well, it qualifies me to be able to convincingly portray certain roles. It gave me access to information about the banking system. It introduced me to employees, supervisors and customers who might figure into my future success. Who did I meet while there who might have a connection to the movie industry? Perhaps I'll go back there for a visit and mention to whomever I speak with that I'm serious about my acting career. Who knows who I'll meet on the way there?”
Or, perhaps your goal is to find a mate. You might ask, “What do people say about me that is an asset that can help me meet the man/woman of my dreams? What places do I frequent that might prove helpful in exposing me to more people? What music do I like? How can that lead to me meeting people with similar interests? What physical, emotional or personality attributes can I highlight that can make the world go wow?”
The possible connections are almost infinite.
In order to find the best uses of your assets, you must ask, answer and act on the right questions. Here are some suggestions.
The key questions about assets
- What specific assets do I have or have access to that I can use to achieve my goal?
- What creative ways can I come up with to harness the power of these assets?
- Who do I know? What do I know? What do I believe? What Do I own? What have I created? What am I good at? What am I known for? What have I done?
Making a comprehensive list of your assets is the first step in building a successful passion-centered business!

The World About Me
Haven't written a Life Rhyme in almost a year, but this one was inspired by my reading of Happy Pocket Full of Money (See previous post for download link)
The World About Me
This world of points and edges
is not always what it seems
It's just manifestation
of your thoughts and of your dreams
This world of loss and laughter
is not hard at all to know
it's merely a reflection
of a you from long ago
This world of lack and luxury
just an image of the past
and thus can be transformed
the players all can be recast
For thoughts create reality
but take their time to build
Today is made from yesterday
for life is thought fulfilled
The world you see about you now
Illusion. Nothing more
it's yours to shape at will
and thus create what lies in store
Excerpt from Happy Pocket Full of Money
"Remember how we saw that you are
at cause over things that happen in your world. Those who have taken time to
study and experience this know experientially that every person causes 100% of
their world. Now, remember that thought takes time to manifest into the physical,
depending on the subject matter. So, what then are you looking at when you use
your eyes to see things? What are your eyes seeing? If you are at cause of all
you see, and thought takes you time to manifest, you are obviously looking at
yourself at various stages of your 'past'. Read that through again. It is all an
illusion. An illusion designed to allow you to look at yourself so that you can
create the next version of yourself, design your growth. What you see with your
eyes is an illusion designed from various stages of your past.
The way to use this world you see with your eyes is to see it as your past
and actively use it deliberately to observe your Self and see what to change and
grow. That is one way to use the illusion, which is a gift brought to you kindly so
that you may know your self.
Present results are the effects of previous thoughts. In other words, when
you look at the world today, you are actually looking at yourself as you were
yesterday. The world at any present moment of now reflects your thoughts and
state of being before the present moment of now. It is all an illusion. Use it as the
illusion that it is and you will live wonderfully and richly."

Not sure why
Not sure why this memory has come to me, but it may have some relevance to someone out there, so I’ll share it with you. Several, actually, many years ago, I had the opportunity to work a summer job while in college. It was my sophomore year in college, if I recall, my first real job, and I was determined to enter the ranks of manhood and use the proceeds to purchase a car. I did the math, and realized that the full amount I would earn for my summer of employment would just barely cover the purchase price of a mazda 626 that, at the time was selling for $2500. I would be able to do it, but I would need to cut my spending to practically zero. (the beginning of my minimalism, perhaps?)
So, for that summer, while living in Johnson Hall on the Columbia University campus, I subsisted on pop tarts, bagels, spring water, generic spaghetti and ketchup. My breakfast would consist of a pop tart and spring water. I would have a bagel for lunch, but would often skip that meal. And my dinner would be a plate of store brand generic spaghetti, smothered with store-brand ketchup. Eating like this, I could average about a dollar a day on food, and since my dorm expenses were already paid, I wasn’t spending much else except the train fare to get to work.
If ever I felt that the deprivation was a bit austere, I could treat myself to a lunch special of two pieces of chicken and a side of French fries for $1.90, or some batter-fried shrimp for about the same price. (I hadn’t yet been enlightened to the virtues of being vegetarian). However, I didn’t splurge very often as I constantly held my eyes firmly fixed on the prize.
Well, as reward for my summer of restraint, I was able to surprise my girlfriend at the time as I proudly pulled up to her mother’s apartment in Washington Heights, a Dominican enclave in upper Manhattan, and show her my light blue Mazda in which we excitedly took our first dating drive together through the humid summer streets of New York.
Didn't learn anything useful on the job. I was as skinny as a rail, but I was mobile!
Ahhh! Yes, life is great!
Take what you will from the story, and let me know what, if any relevance it has in your life.
As I think about it now, I'm sure it's some subconscious message from myself to me relating to a book I'm re-reading entitled Happy Pocket Full of Money, one I've recommended here on the blog, but which I'll recommend again.

I've gotten a lot of great feedback and welcomes from people including this great letter from "IJ" posted on my YouTube page.
"Glad You're Back Walt
Hi Walt,
I'm so happy to hear from you just as much as the other people who subscribed to Walt's Inspirational Fridays.
I love your free spiritedness and the wonderful decision you made to follow your passion and allow the universe to take you to Saipan.
I just finished reading Notes 1 - 12 in your (Jamaican in Saipan) e-book. I am in week #3 of a decision I made to leave my job as an architect/project manager for a small, non-profit, redevelopment organization. July 5th I received divorce papers, July 6th was my last day on my job and July 8th I turned 43 years old. I have turned a new page in the book of my life and I am loving my time away from the "rat race".
When people asked me where I was going next. I responded that I was not going immediately to another job. I'm taking some time off for my life and to do what I want to do. I then often heard a response such as, "it must be nice. You must have a lot of money. I wish I could do that". To which I responded, "I don't have a lot of money and you can do this. You just have to make the decision to do it".
What I have found is that when you make a decision to follow your passion, the universe responds and supports you.
So my hat off to you. And thanks for the good laugh this morning as I finished reading the end of Note 3: "Never go to Eva for your boarding pass."
Take care and I wish you continued success."
Thanks, IJ,
And though I've never left, It's great to be back!

Person of the Year
I'm finally getting around to reading some magazines, and came across Time Magazine's Person of the Year issue for 2006 (ok, I'm a little backlogged). Anyway, Time's person of the year for 2006 was YOU! It basically offers the premise that the most important mover and shaker for the year in history was people like you through your blogging, facebooking, and youtubing type activities.
One of the intro articles (by Lev Grossman) starts...
The "Great Man" theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year.
and goes on to give examples, and then ends with this line that I find particularly inspiring:
But that's what makes all this interesting. Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail. There's no road map for how an organism that's not a bacterium lives and works together on this planet in numbers in excess of 6 billion. But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person.
Full article: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html
Committed as I am to helping others change their lives and the lives of others, I'm always inspired by just how much power now exists in the average person's hands, and at their fingertips via the Internet. As I continue to work on projects like the New Saipan, the WeLoveSaipan network, the Great Sheep Uprising, and others, they're all made more viable, productive and successful by use of the web. I'll add more to this later, have to get back to reading the magazine....
