What I wish for 2011

Share |

What I wish for 2011 is:

1. For the market to recover and have more people working.  Busy people are happy people.
2. For us to have more time, tried people spend money. Tried people eat out more; look for more resources to help them get on with their day, which require money.
3. To create a movement that we receive the Kindle for free.  The Kindle is helping to either eliminate or change these industires such as: publishing, tree loggers, distribution such as Fed-ex and Trucking and retail shops like Chapters.  This means that a book should be cheaper for us - so why pay for a Kindle?     
4. For CNN to stop telling us the obvious.
5. To have genetically produced, modified and any other manner outside of Mother Nature producing vegetables - labeled!
6. To have industries become more transparent.  For example, I am walking distance to 3 grocery stores, 3 vegetable stores, 1 Walmart, 2 bagel shops, 1 gas station that sells milk and bread, 2 corner shops, 3 bakeries and a number of restaurants.  So I'm confused with the argument that we will have a food shortage.  I suspect it is perhaps that our farmers cannot compete with Mexico and Chili and going via the genetically modified technology route is a cheaper option allowing them to stay competitive.  I haven't researched this but at this moment, that is what I suspect. 
7. To stop blaming Marketing professionals for everything.  Their bosses, senior management and all the rest of the higher-ups all have a hand in approving, supporting and even devising crappy selling methods and anything else you find unethical.  More times than not, it is usually the president that goes to the marketing officer's office and blames him or her for not being more aggressive.
8. To stop the grocery stores lay all the responsibility on its customer.  When I remember to bring my bags, give me 5 cents!   
9. To create more regulations to ensure businesses are ethical and fair.
10. To stop believing that only one person made a company successful.     
11. To stop strategizing everything. 
12. To more kindness movements.
13. To honor the doer, the tinker, the innovator and the fixer.
14. To finding a good shoe maker.
15. To making adoption affordable.  There are too many good homes that are empty.
16. To have more days where people stop and acknowledge that this good earth is for everyone.          

Happy Marketing!
