Leonard Klaatu

…is leaning toward wisdom. The objective is to grow smarter by the day. It’s a worthy goal, often beyond the reach of mortal men. Mortal women, however, seem quite blessed with it. If you’re a man, may your life include wisdom, or a wise woman (or both). I’m Leonard Klaatu and I’m blessed with such a woman, my wife.

I’m also quite shy. I reside in the broad expanse south of Oklahoma known as Texas. Dan Jenkins had it right when he called it Baja Oklahoma. It’s here where most of my leaning occurs, but I’ve been known to venture beyond the state borders to places as far west as Hawaii and as far east as London.

For many years I was a big wheel corporate executive earning massive sums of money. I was worth every skinny dime I ever made. The guys I worked for made millions and millions. I made hundreds of thousands. But it’s entirely my own fault. I agreed to become an indentured servant until I got my gut full of it. Tired of working for jerks. Tired of busting my hump for an enterprise I didn’t own!

So, some months ago I approached a wall that had been getting closer and closer over time. I didn’t even tap the brakes when I saw the wall coming. No, go big or go home! I did both. I hit the gas pedal and ran into that wall as fast and as hard as I could. Looked “the man” in the eyes and said, “You are the last human being I’ll ever work for.” I quit. I went BIG and I went HOME. It was a glorious day.

And now, some months later (I had to decompress from years and years of misery), I’m ready to embark on a journey of helping others who lack 3 plus decades of killer sales, marketing and business strategy expertise. I am a business expert. I’ve driven hundreds of millions in sales. I’m not some punk kid who’s never even managed a bank account with more $1000. I’m the real deal. Very real.

Some (maybe even most) won’t like me. I can’t tell you how little I care. Six figure income (and I’m not talking $101K) doesn’t shake me. I get fired up when I find people who want to chase big dreams. Of course, they’ve got to have big skills, ability, expertise and drive. If they don’t, I don’t stick around. I won’t take money from fools. Yeah, that’s likely a big mistake on my part, but it’s just not fun trying to coach fools. The only thing worse is trying to coach a lazy fool.

Marketing, selling, persuasion, managing – figuring out how to construct a business and how to operate one – those are my specialties. I hate the word guru and I don’t claim to be one. I hate arrogance, too – you know the type, those guys with avatars where they look like they’re going to kick you down a flight of stairs ’cause they’re so BAD. I’m a no nonsense guy who loves to laugh and have fun. Making money is fun. And that, folks is the bottom line of it all. MONEY.

Why?

Freedom. Choice. Options. Ferris can call it lifestyle design. That works for me. As good as anything. But don’t kid yourself. You will never be able to do exactly what you want, when you want – all the time. But you can give yourself greater freedom, flexibility and far more choices. How? Make more money!

It’s what I’m now going to do with my professional life, as I start working to help YOU lean toward wisdom. Business wisdom. Money making wisdom. If that’s why you’re here – stick around. If not, move along and find somebody else who will enjoy you lurking around. Not me. I’m looking for players. I’m looking for hungry people who are willing to be mountain climbers!

Stay tuned for some great resources designed to help you climb the mountains of success. I’ll give away as much free stuff as I can, but we’re here for the Aston Martins. You can pick whatever car or object floats your boat. I’ll stick with the DBS Aston Martin. We can’t complete that project without making some money. We both have to make some money. I’m going to help you run down all the money you can make – and I’m going to make big money in the process.

We have to hurry because our current President doesn’t want us to get rich. Before he screws up the country any more we’ve got to get really busy and work really fast. We’ve got checks to cash. PayPal accounts to grow. Life to enjoy. So get your mountain climbing gear on and we’ll get underway very soon!

I’ll finish this “about” crap by telling you that I’m an enormous fan of great cartoonists. Among my favorites are Jerry Van Amerongen (Ballard Street) and Jim Unger (Herman). That’s Jerry’s work (below) of the dog blowing darts at his owner.

Laughing your way toward wisdom is part of this leaning process. Jerry and Jim both make me laugh. Out loud. A lot.

Thanks for stopping by.
