Close... But No Cigar
or anyone reading this
who may feel like the indictment of Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and two other individuals who worked on Trump's campaign, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos, will lead to Trump being re- moved from office, I have some advice.... Don't get your hopes up.
While the optics look damning, according to some legal analysts, when the dominoes begin to fall, Trump could be on the side- lines watching the violent chain-reaction with the rest of us. This is mainly because, even though the individuals being accused of conspiracy, money laundering and com- municating illegally with a foreign government were close enough to Trump to spell check his tweets, the wise-guy-in-chief may have
had enough sense to wear multiple layers of protective clothing to protect himself from being bitten by the poi- sonous critters that inhabit the D.C. swamp.
This means, unless one of these men can produce con- crete evidence that directly links Trump to some of their shady dealings, the White House apprentice could survive the entire scan- dal with little more than his credibility being further dec- imated. That is, if there's anything left of it to destroy.
Unfortunately for Trump haters, the bottom line is that, their arch-nemesis may not be going anywhere any- time soon. Even after these guys start cooperating with authorities for less time (and they will) the end result will probably only amount to a few more sacrificial lambs being served up for a public grilling while Trump will be
left free to gloat about how the prosecution, of such low- life minnows, proves that the entire investigation was much ado about nothing.
In a perfect world all of
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's hard work would have ultimately led to Trump occupying the same cell he so desperately hoped would house Hillary Clin- ton. But, of course, this isn't a perfect world and it seems that nothing short of the cre- ator, Him or Herself coming down and personally drag- ging Trump off his pedestal will give us a respite from the madness.
And, since that is the kind of stuff that only happens in movies and dreams, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that we'll be dealing with his torment for a little while longer.

Mayor And Police Chief Show Courage On A Frightful Day
as the day frightful because it was Halloween,
or was it frightful because throughout the City of Tampa, a mass murderer stalked, unidentified and undetailed?
And being so, would one think that this past Hal- loween would have been an ideal time for both Bob Buckhorn, Mayor of Tampa, and Brian Dugan, Interim Tampa Chief of Police, to be strolling down the streets of Seminole Heights reasonably defenseless-yet-defi- ant?
While making up your mind as to what answer you’d volunteer, allow us to wholeheartedly congratulate both men, their associates and all of the men, women, and children who turned out, to prove to whoever-mat- tered that the people of this Southern city would not be bowed by evil spirits, physical or otherwise.
With his usual Jimmy Cagney grin, Mayor Buckhorn briskly strode down a Seminole Heights Avenue trick or treating local TV cameras and reassur- ing reporters and anyone else who cared to listen that Tampa was indeed, a safe place to be scared for fun.
We journalists joined local citizens and visitors lin- ing the streets to see this wondrous parade that indeed, seemed to carry the spark of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s parades of the past.
Nevertheless, the pageantry of last Tuesday hardly hid the tension in many people’s eyes, wondering if or when the mysterious murderer would strike again and who would be their victim. Some even wondered if the ghoul was one of the on-lookers.
Be that as it might, the Mayor and Interim Police Chief made each of us proud to be part of the City of Tampa... And such is a feeling that no fool or monster could ever murder.
Quantum Leap Your Income
mpowered Greet-
ings. Discover the 3 foundational things you need, in order to start mak- ing a quantum leap in your income.
It's almost the end of the year and you have not made significant gains in your in- come, as expected, when you wrote down your New Year's resolution. You may have made more money, but yet you're still broke. Your bank account is not a reflection of your life, business or min- istry's financial goals. I want to share with you 3 condi- tions, I have my coaching clients put in place, to shift their money from barely sur- viving to thriving mode.
Create a money-mak- ing plan. You have to know where you are going, if you want to get there. Set a S.M.A.R.T. financial goal, of how much money you want to make, in a specific time frame. SMART money goals
are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. Once you've deter- mined your goal, develop a plan that includes various ways, you will bring in this additional income. Most suc- cessful people have at least 6- 7 streams of income. I teach the entrepreneurs that I coach, how to master this se- cret strategy, so they don't burn out trying to have too many irons in the fire. Pas- sivity and wrap around serv- ices are key elements to have, in your money-making plan.
Be A Problem Solver. When you learn to develop a keen insight for identifying solutions to other people's problems, then you'll have the answer you need to solve your own money problems. Take inventory of the issues that your customers are fac- ing. Establish a set plan, product or service that can help them get the answers they need to alleviate the
problem. Package the solu- tion and promote it to in- crease your income.
Put A Process In Place. Establish a system- atic way of doing things. Having a set process in place saves you time and money. You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to introduce something new. It will also help you de- liver quality service, to all clients at all times. When people like what you do, how you do it and the manner in which you do it, they'll tell others. The people they tell are potential clients that can also cause your money to take a quantum leap.
These steps are simple enough for you to start now so that you can reap your money leap sooner instead of later.
