Makin’ Money

So after Dirt did our taxes now that we’re a farm business and all, he said the IRS would be after me if I didn’t turn my columns around.  I seem to be “in charge” of the only division on the farm that has ninety percent of the outgo (monetary and labor) and zero income. 

I was sure I made something last year but I guess not.  I keep giving stuff away, sort of a market testing thing I guess.

So I was thinking about making money this year.  And I was watching the news and thinkin’ about how the world works.  Feelin’ a bit bad for teachers, firemen, highway workers and the like who are now experiencing cut backs and such.

In all my watching and listening, I realize that I need to be very particular about who I pattern myself after if I always want to make the most money with the very least input, well no significant input really.

There seems to be one section of folks that the economic down turn just doesn’t seem to phase, they never get fired, and in fact if they are ever let go say for near criminal activity (the only fire-able offense), or their department found unnecessary after fifty years of obsolescence, they are given a severance package that would keep me and my children going until death. 

I think that I need to look closely at what they do and style myself after them.  Then perhaps I can make money.  Branding is key isn’t it. Knowing who you are, your goals and aspirations.

I was thinking that I would begin my styling with a name badge or door name plate.  And it would say:

Lanny Person

Vicktory Farm & Gardens

Chief Administrator

Bureau of Manure Management

 

I do believe that about sums up all I’ve gleaned from what the world has to teach me.   Now I’m off to make money.
