So after doing some initial research I've come to the conclusion that in order to get this project up and running it may be best to run everything as a business.
This of course has it's pro's and con's. One pro being that after the initial concept and business plan are laid out and investors found, the start up could be streamlined. The con to that being having to pay people back while giving a good return on their investment, which, leads to another con: locating a larger market sooner rather than later as the system matures (a theme which will become apparent as this blog continues).
The other issue is risk management. The main idea is to not put my budding family at the mercy of impartial business practices but to break free from that, however, the greater the risk, the greater the payoff. Everything must be balanced, another theme.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A personal belief of mine is that everything is akin to a symbiotic Mandelbrot, at least on the basic level, and must be kept in balance for us to thrive. There are 3 basic things to be balanced: fuel, mechanism, and operator/manager. Our body must be fed the proper foods to fuel itself, exercised regularly to promote proper growth and to avoid stagnation, and managed by our brain/mind with healthy (lack of better word ATM) signals. Should any one of these 3 things fall out of balance the system is jeopardized. It may still run, but not as efficiently as it could. Poor fuel means more waste, the actual work done is less efficient, and the management goes into overtime and burns out. A poorly tuned body will require more fuel, not work as efficient or as long and again cause the management system to go into overtime burning everything out. An unhealthy brain will be unable to properly manage the processes involved causing neurological disorders to the umpteenth degree.
The same goes for our more immediate environment. Work is food, we are the physical body and our bosses are the management system (obviously). No work and the system fails, no employees and the system fails, no management and the system fails.
It all can be looked at through varying degrees of magnification and see pretty much the same thing...with it's own unique properties of course, but that's a bit too deep for this blog.
I think you get the point.
Where is this going?
Just stay with me.
-Balance. When everything falls out of balance it must slowly be brought back or else you will have chaos.
-Timing. Only properly timed interventions of the right quantity will bring the system back into harmony.
Start feeding an olympic athlete junk (food/drugs/etc) and on the basic level their performance will suffer, perhaps even causing confidence problems then later depression due to lowered self image, etc. etc. Shock the system by cutting off junk and the body will go into withdrawal there by causing more harm than good.
The same goes for farming. Too much fertilizer and you'll burn the roots killing the plant and the farm fails. Too many plants and not enough fertilizer will starve the plants and the farm fails. Poor maintenance and everything becomes overgrown, or whithers and the farm fails.
Everything comes down to management, really. Or conscious decisions really.
Our force of will makes us human and puts us at the top of the food chain. Only with our conscious interventions can we bring our systems back into balance and working at top efficiency....
Speaking of which it's time for an intervention of my own- sleep.
