I have been set on this new course or maybe I should say this clarified course.  So how am I going to get there.  Well in my daily life it’s about doing the work of building the company (Shiloh Painting) I am currently working on.  Receiving and implementing the vision and goals that I have for this project.  It is the process of personal growth and at the same time it’s building an organization that will out last me.  This is the micro vision.

The macro vision is what I believe I can in very small way give and build into now.  That is learning what it takes to empower those small entrepreneurs locally and in developing countries.  This week I found a new person to be inspired by, Paul Polak.  Paul founded International Developement Enterprises in 1981.  Reading through two web sites, reading an aritcle in Business week has really inspired me.  I can’t wait to read his book.  I hope you will watch a couple of his videos at the site promoting the ideas he lays out in his book, Out of Poverty.  Two things really stood out to me.  One was that he said that it was absolutly essential that you talk to the poeple you are trying to help and second that he obviously gave respect and dignity to those he was work with.
