What are the topfive topics on Biznik's peoples minds?

Don't be shy..... let's hear your deepest thoughts as I open up this forum tio the world as an exchange of hearts. Let's hear the inner silence that wants to be unleashed and expressed from the bedrock of your souls, the four corners of your mind, and from the deepest chambers of your hearts.

So what has got you going today? What are you thinking about? Is it time for a revolution? As your Uncle Steve just passed away and now you too are thinking of your mortalitry? Is it your sister's birthday, your bills, your loved ones, your cat or dog? Is it the move you recently made or the move you are thinking of making?

What is it that drives you? What is it that drives you to do your best? What is it that brings you down to your knees?

Do you need a hug? Do you need a race? Do you just need some time to put your feet up on the table and have a relaxing moment, maybe lemonade, a chardonnay, a beer, a water or a glass of scotch ort maybe some acai berry juice? ha-ha.

Are you in a race --or are you in a war? A war to get the most out of life, or a war to rob you out of most of your life?

How do you do business? What are your top principles?

Have you ever met a rich person who said they had enough money?

Do you think that greed is polluting and ruining America?

Do you think America is the greatest country in the world?

Who are your top heros and role models in life?

My top five are:

John Lennon

Jesus Christ

Albert Einstein

Abraham Lincoln

My Father -

Do you believe in integrity? Do you believe in self-improvement?

Are you an agent of change?

How do you divide your time with all of these different things in our lives? How do you prioritize?

How do you unwind?

For me, after I get home from work, I need to play my guitar, or I have a sandwich and maybe a glass of milk or a beer and than I do some chess playing or Internet surfing or I read a book or write down my thoughts. I like to meditate and go on long walks.  What about you?

How many books do you read in a week, in a year? What are some of your most recent favorites? I am reading the "Go-Giver" and "Who Moved My Cheese."

Are you a word person?

Are you a software person?

Are you a movie buff? I love movies. I loved “Yes Man,” and enjoyed “Marley and Me.” “The Dark Knight” was a great fantasy film, and of course the F. Scott Fitzgerald tale of Benjamin Button – quite phenomenal and surrealistic.

I pick Meryl Streep to get an Oscar this year for her performance in Doubt and my other kudos go to Sean Penn for Milk.  Frost Nixon, Doubt, Slum Dog Millionaire, Gran Torino and Valkyrie were all very good – I believe Milk or Benjamin will get the Oscar.

So how do we do it? How do we keep getting better, healthier, more productive, kinder, providing a better service in a better world with all that is against us?

What is it that really turns us on? What turns you on? Is it a smile or a sale? Is it money or is it love? Or is it - may I say - both?

What is it in the bedrocks of our soul that makes us tick through the days and nights of our lives?

What are these crazy, fun, wild and surreal dreams that we sometimes remember when we wake up? What drives us to get up in the morning? What creates doubt in us? Is it money that gives us confidence or is it the wight we place on our spirtual qualities?

Maybe we should get some feedback from all of you top Biznik's out there and let me compile some of the statistics. Be fair, be square and bear your heart. All answers will remain anonymous unless you want me to get Rags to blast your name over his Megaphone at one of our upcoming events.

I am curious to know in this day and age what separates us from the past and the future. What kind of people are we?

Looking forward to hearing some of your thoughts--

Wishing you all a starry, starry night and all the best...

Carpe diem my friends,

Stevie Joe
