A Mission to Help Others
After 32 years owning several business entities in the marketplace, dealing with workforce issues and challenges, legal advisors, partners in business, successes and failures, it’s my mission to share the lessons learned in the SHK “School of Hard Knocks” with anyone who will listen.
Our focus is to help others envision their Dream Job as an employee or business owner. To learn from each other, to share experiences and expertise gained through business education as well as in the trenches of living life to its fullest. To give back to society, to friends and to all open to God’s guidance, love and faithfulness.
The “BUCK” Stops On Your Desk
You can OWN the business or be an employee working for someone else, it makes very little difference, the decisions are in your corner. Don’t look around for a scapegoat because they are all gone and you are “IT”. YOUR neck is on the line.
Reality says, you are the BOSS regardless of where your paycheck comes from. Maybe you don’t see it that way, but YOUR success is connected directly to “who you are” and what you are willing to invest in your job.
If you are an 8 to 5 person then I would not recommend a business ownership for you. YOU are NOT an entrepreneur headed to make millionaire status. It takes NIGHT meetings to rub shoulders with the “power-base” in your marketplace.
Even long hours have NO guarantees connected. Give all you’ve got and still 9 out of 10 firms FAIL to be successful. Not much encouragement to start your own business. It takes lots of time, money and skill to “make it” as a business owner.
Remember all the HYPE about the dot.com era. Money was flowing into their coffers like water runs off a duck, an unending stream of MORE money, the get RICH suddenly became POOR after few of the dot.coms discovered a niche to make a profit.
Being in business is wonderful if you have something valuable to bring into the marketplace. Most products eventually are a “dime-a-dozen” which kills many small businesses. BIG “boys” show up with competitive pricing that often are less than the small player pays to his wholesaler.
Be sure that YOUR product or service cannot be easily duplicated by someone else. Otherwise, somebody will “eat-your-lunch” and force you into a losing situation. Many of the big competitors play “hardball” with their deep pockets and you don’t have a prayer to challenge them.
Something to think about BEFORE you invest your money. Ask the right questions and know the answers before you put your money at risk, especially if you have to borrow it from your family or if you are thinking about asking the bank for a loan.

Goal Setting
YOUR dream job means the goal is to discover that special position you deserve and desire. Happiness in your career means you get up with excitement, doing what you enjoy, feeling good about yourself, your contribution to the success of your employer which equals your success. Now, our challenge is making a choice. How do you choose the “right” career path. Is there only ONE career choice that can be your dream job? We don’t think so. Lots of good possibilities exist and our search begins with a methodical process of research, study and focus. You’re a Harley motorcycle rider, a church organist or piano player in the local bar, you mix drinks at parties, maybe play the drums or blow the trumpet and the list goes on forever. Unfortunately, many folks choose the wrong career in haste rather than taking the time...
What Are Your Career Goals?Today, I look at young boys and girls and wonder what they’re thinking. Is their Career or future livelihood even a figment of their imagination? Does it cross their mind in the course of a day? Where is their “head” or brain when it comes to decisions about making a living or where they will live? Personally, I wonder! Interesting is the fact that my Mom and Dad had the same questions about me. Hard to believe but true. Everyone seems to think the current generation is on the way to failure. Most make an excellent contribution to society. It’s encouraging to know that’s the case. Sadly, some do fall through the cracks and end up in jail, on the streets, or worse…. dead! Freedom is often too costly for some to handle. As Parents, most of us do, want the best for our children. However,...
Words Count!
You’ve maybe known the 3 biggest mistakes any of us can make when looking for our dream job (and how to avoid them) … then you need to know the 2 words that guarantee your success so you can put them into your career search activity program Most of the competition for your dream job is sitting at home moaning about their lack of opportunity. Complaining that NO one is hiring in my age group; my sex group; my ethnic group; my whatever… it’s never their fault that unemployment is their punishment. Actually, excuses don’t pay and never will in our lifetime. It’s all about getting off the backside and doing something constructive for yourself. Nobody is going to show up and do it for you. One BIG problem is that a negative attitude will cancel any positive thought in an interview. An Interviewer can see through the hype and recognize a loser almost instantly. You’re out the door before the interview begins, wondering what happened. If you want to find success then you have to ACT like it’s already part of your life. Vibrations - our psychic - the real YOU is flowing out into your surrounding space. Everyone sees it but you. Start with the basics - drive or paddle a row boat before buying the 400 HP...
