I see money/ wealth as a measure of the difference someone is making in the world. If its honest, if it provides real value, then naturally it will make a bigger difference, and resources will flow to the people and organizations behind it. Look at Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They've created millionaires, successful businesses, incredible value in the world. They've created billions in net personal assets. Now, they plan on giving it back to improve the world. http://tinyurl.com/fnbgg You can learn all kinds of tools... but its all in how you use them. Purpose is what defines us as positionary or visionary. This is an interesting comment to consider. Is Visionforce out to change the world, help people be successful in business, or BOTH ? Where are how does positionary thinking creep into our thoughts? Am I thinking from a position, or from a vision?

I've discovered yet another bogus philosophy that starts with "We all have the power to change the world," and continues with "...as long as we don't change it too much. I mean, I we do not want to touch the American dream," and ends with "Well, MY world changed, anyway." That goal--to make big bucks--is at the very centre of position thinking, and it is one of the main reasons there is conflict in the world. I think you know this and I think you have strayed far from your own statement of visionary thinking.
