The only memorable moment from the 1992 Vice Presidential
debate was when Admiral Stockdale, who was running as Vice President with Ross
Perot, raised the question, “Who am I, why am I here?” VIDEO:

In keeping with his spirit, my name is Chris Koomey, the
Business Godfather. For over two decades
I have helped growing companies as a business attorney, business consultant and
business owner. My passion is helping
people take their dreams and make them a reality.
As Business Godfather, my job is to provide guidance,
offer protection and serve as a mentor to those who have pledged their loyalty
and support by engaging productively in discussions on this site and in
person. I will be a good role model and
bring forth lessons from our collective experience.
Right now most of my efforts are focused on helping
individuals generate more income and prepare for retirement through the Online
Trading Academy Washington DC Metro and Online Trading Academy Baltimore. LINK: http://www.tradingacademy.com/washingtondc/ We have helped thousands of students learn
about how they can generate income and grow wealth in the financial markets
including stocks, bonds, options, futures and FOREX.
I have helped information technology companies grow
including ThorBen Consulting, LLC, my wife Katrina’s company, which delivers
enterprise solutions for growing businesses and provides trusted technology
professionals for SAP and other enterprise system integration planning, design,
implementation and maintenance projects.
LINK: www.thorben.us In the 1990’s, I helped set up
and supported hundreds of companies as a business attorney. These businesses ranged from sophisticated IT
companies, to restaurants, to shoe repair shops and many businesses in
between. The common factor was the
passion of the owners to achieve their dreams.
Now most of my personal time is spent coaching youth
sports including baseball, basketball and football so you may learn a thing or
two about coaching as well.
Why is the Business Godfather here?
Because we need to take care of ourselves but can’t do it
all by ourselves. Businesses are getting
squeezed. Workers are happy to have a
paycheck even if they won’t be getting a raise.
Retirement plans are in shambles.
America is trying to find its way in this New Normal economy. And we will.
Younger workers know they need to treat themselves like a
business to make their own raises and to have a real retirement plan. LINK: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/young-workers-retirement-hopes-grow-bleaker-amid-economic-downturn/2012/11/05/3ea7ed3c-13c1-11e2-ba83-a7a396e6b2a7_story.html
In life as in trading, you can choose to be a victim or
to get on the right side of the trade.
As business owners and people who treat ourselves like a business we are
not going to sit back and accept mediocre results. We will keep striving until we get beyond
exceptional results.
Welcome to the Business Godfather!
