Like all of the IdeaMensch interviewees who have spoken with the website Glen submitted himself to a round of questions that uncovered his journey as an entrepreneur and a multi-faceted businessman. The questions revealed his distinctive approach to solving problems within the realm of the business industry. In one answer Glen Wakeman shared an incredibly valuable insight that can serve to benefit anyone regardless of the industry that they might find themselves in. The insight in question involves the concept that is known a value proposition. Glen Wakeman’s advice about the concept of a value proposition is straightforward and very easy to implement like much of the best business advice often is. He noted that he always rigorously evaluates his value propositions. Part of his process of assessing his value proposition is to question whether or not it is worthwhile for the customer and whether or not it is straightforward and easy to understand. Perhaps the most golden part of Glen Wakeman’s advice on value propositions is his assertion that a “solid value proposition ”is the “core” of both a strong business and a strong product.

How Credit Investor Chris Linkas Uses Adversity in His Favor; An Investor Born from the 1991 Recession

Chris Linkas is an investor who specializes in investing with credit and capital. This work focuses on using security to structure strong returns. He graduated from Bowdoin College in the year of 1991, entering the workforce at a time of recession caused by a savings and loan crisis. His first job was at a consulting firm who helped value the collateral of bad loans that caused cause the recession. He recognizes this position and the recession as an amazing start in his career, as it allowed it him to begin consulting for private firms that wished to purchase those loans at a rebate.

 

Again, Chris Linkas felt that the recession was the perfect time for him to enter the world of investment as almost everything was was weighed in the favor of investors. Loans were offered at significantly reduced rates and that allowed him to build tons of capital to fund projects when needed. He thinks that being thrown into an investment-oriented setting allowed him to develop a strong insight that still helps him in his career today.

 

Linkas also felt that his greatest ideas came from activities in his career and actively co-operating with others. One of the benefits that was gained from this mindset allowed him to expand into fields outside of business and condition his professionalism. Another benefit is that he felt that his work provided him with the perspective to recognize opportunities he would previously miss, stating that modern markets move so fast that it is impossible to operate without an edge above competition.

 

Another important fragment of his business knowledge is that he always challenges himself while critically evaluating his every move. He says that part of this ideal came from outside the office when playing soccer leagues in the city against high level players, which then allowed him to develop perspectives and insight on why those players made those decisions. He took this idea to the office and quickly found himself finding more success then he did already as he evaluated why some investors beat him and why others didn’t, allowing him to develop solid new plans of actions quickly.

 

 

How Self-Care Can Improve Your Work Life

It has become almost commonplace for individuals to pour every ounce of energy into their work. Almost anywhere you look, you find people on blogging sites, YouTube videos and content on Facebook telling you that you must jump in head first to accomplish anything. While hard work is an important factor to accomplish anything, what most people don’t realize is that we have a finite amount of energy each day to conquer our workloads, especially the people in these articles who are telling us to live this all or nothing lifestyle.

Your body and mind work in tandem each day to create productivity. If one of these aspects begins to fail, the other will soon follow in place. Failure to maintain both body and mind will result in catastrophic consequences for your professional life. Personal neglect is one of the biggest factors of burnout, getting sick, and all around mental fatigue, which can be incredibly detrimental to your work life, let alone your personal life. Though we’re being sold the idea that if we are to accomplish anything we must be going a million miles an hour, this method is incredibly dangerous to our health.

Roseann Bennett admits that finding a balance in her work/home life has been a struggle over the years. As a wife and a mother, being in all places at once was virtually impossible, and over time began to wear on her gradually. As the Executive Director of Center for Assessment and Treatment, her work demanded all her energy throughout the day. Fortunately, Roseann found balance in her life by learning to take care of herself, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. She began to realize that as soon as she began to take care of herself, everything fell into place.

We are always rushing to take care of someone or something else throughout our daily routines, yet we neglect the most important person in our lives: ourselves. If we are not healthy enough to function properly, especially if our workload demands it, then we cannot produce good work. Always make time for yourself, even during the most hectic times. You’ll refuel yourself and be able to go further than you thought you could.

The fight for immigrants’ right is still on

Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey are currently the founders of Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund, an organization that assists, by giving grants to other non-profitable organizations that are fighting discrimination and violation of Latino and Hispanic amendment right by law enforcement bodies in Arizona.

The duo met in 1972 after studies at Arizona State University. The worked together to come up with the Phoenix New Times, a weekly publication to counter the vast media coverage of the student antiwar protest. At the time, Lacey was the editor while Jim was working to advertise the paper.

Over time, it gained popularity. They even began fetching for new social and political issues. It became the alternative paper for most people. The News-Times purchased other like-minded papers across the country. Learn more about Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey: http://www.laceyandlarkinfronterafund.org/about-lacey-larkin-frontera-fund/jim-larkin/ and https://twitter.com/JimLarkin_

Their journey in journalism has not been easy. For a long time, they had published articles questioning the policies of the then sheriff of Arizona, Joe Arpaio. This was an underlying cause of their arrest.

In an article “Larkin and Lacey Speak Out – What Happened to Joe Arpaio”, it is evident that the immediate cause of their arrest on October 18th, 2007 was the publishing of an article about the issuance grand jury subpoena by the attorney’s office who was an ally to Joe. Joe was the person behind the arrest and detention.

Arizona has a large population of Latin and Hispanic people from South America. Joe was very much against illegal immigrates. He blamed the immigrants for lack of morals in the society. Joe took it upon him to pursue immigrates, however in most cases this call ended up in the violation of the civil right.

He continued to do this for a very long time. It looked like he was immune to the law. Things took a U-turn after a court order directed that he and his office should stop profiling Latin driver. The court regarded this as a form of racism. Joe did not end the profiling and detaining Latin even after the issuance of the order. Read more: Michael Lacey | Facebook and Phoenix New Times | Wikipedia

The court was forced to make a ruling that Joe had willingly violated the court order. The arrest of Lacey and Jim was because they had criticized the Joe policies. The judgment was done right after him losing the sheriff position.

A relatively large number of the people thought it was payback time for his after 24 years of ruthless ruling. Jim and Lacey’s lawsuit went in their favor as they got detained illegally. Maricopa County paid the duo $3.75 million to settle the lawsuit.

They used the money to establish their current foundation. Mr. Joe Arpaio was an ally for Trump during his campaigns as they shared a similar view about immigrates. It is not a surprise to many after the president pardoned him. The foundation is working hard to make sure no one violates the human rights.
