Sherpa John's Wisdom


Wise words on business from a genuine fellow I know named Sherpa John.  


  • Don't sell yourself short. If you think you're worth X number of dollars at your job.. push to make X number of dollars. 
  • Making less than half of that X number of dollars is an insult to yourself, your family, and your degree/work.
  • Never let someone take advantage of you, your creativity and your skill set... as a way to better themselves, take all the credit, and leave you behind.
  • Appreciation is more than a thank you, or a paycheck.. it's getting credit where credit is due.. 
  • Your co-workers... are ALWAYS out to get out. Remember, that any fodder you can give others to bring you down that could raise them up.. they'll use.
  • They don't really care about you and in most cases, you're not really good friends. Beware of the superficial friendships.
  • Your time is worth something.. maybe it's not money, maybe it's more than recognition.. whatever it is... don't work for free.
  • That boss you hate or don't quite get along with... down the road, you might discover that he's the best you ever had and you'll miss working for him.. it's true. You'll discover this when working for someone worse. :)
  • You have a right to not sign or amend a no-compete clause.. research what that clause means in your state and if your employer can actually enforce it.
  • If your employer lies to get business, fudges the numbers to pay the government less, takes all the credit for your work, makes a lot of excuses, and makes it a mission to take down any and all competition... LEAVE. This is an incredibly dishonest way to conduct business.. imagine what he's doing for/to you when you're not watching.

Rudyard Kipling Quote

The power of BMG is in the balance and depth of our organization. Rudyard speaks to this BMG value. “If you can walk with the crowd and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run-Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And-which is more-you'll be a man my son.” ― Rudyard Kipling

Time: the concept

BMG thinks that time is an important factor in our mission to live life to the fullest (it enables us to live because we are finite) yet there is something off about it. This short paragraph about time describes a new(er) way to look at the universe: Before the contrast and before the summoning, and before the answering of Source Energy, the Universe was less. So rather than thinking in terms of time, think in terms of expansion, and then you will understand time in the way we understand it. We never think about how long anything takes. We are just enjoying the expansion. And so, our now is always powerful in our anticipation of what is becoming. --- Abraham
