The Fable of the Sacred Threads
The Fable of the Sacred Threads

You walk through life and meet people. You hold onto each person like a thread! You hold onto each thread for dear life.
Some of the early threads break because they are inherently weak. Sometimes a group of threads are weak. They all break because they are inherently weak of the same poor quality.
After a while, the remaining early threads plus new stronger threads become cleverly woven into a STRING!
Everyone knows that a string is stronger than the sum of its threads.
Remember, these threads are people in your life that you have picked up along your way.
You are also being picked up by someone and becoming part of their string...and the strength of your string becomes stronger and stronger.
As you grow, and life changes, you naturally pick up more threads of different types. You wrap these threads into a different carefully woven string.
You now have multiple strings. When wrapped and woven with other strings, you now have a ROPE.
While a rope is made of many threads, they each become stronger to turn the rope into a strong line that is more dependable and reliable...with a person as each thread.
Now comes the weaving of ropes. Weaving ropes together creates a BRAIDED ROPE.
This braided rope, with many threads, strings, and ropes composed of individual threads is your LIFELINE.
When a string breaks, it is a big loss.

SFBDG STUDIO integrates with, and supports, our existing SFBDG INTRODUCTIONS and SFBDG VIP CLUB business model.
Our objective with SFBDG STUDIO is to use our Experience, Contacts, and Knowledge to CREATE VALUE in Markets for high development companies by Applying Proven Strategies that accelerate growth and increase profit. This includes

During 40 years of career experience with my consulting firm founded in 1983, we refined Customer Relationship Management and Competing Effectively.
These SFBDG STUDIO services are not a business model based on contingent results and deals like our SFBDG INTRODUCTIONS; but rather, pay-to-grow content and services for clients and registered users of modules.
We bring a track record of easily recognized methods and best practices to create and add value to companies, organizations, municipalities, and individuals.

MENTORS
MENTORS
Everyone needs doors to be open in order to have the benefits of the American Dream.
Mentors can develop leadership skills and gain a personal sense of satisfaction from knowing that they've helped someone.
Mentees can expand their knowledge and skills, gain valuable advice from a more experienced person, and build their professional networks.
It is a bargain made by both parties.
Inevitably the people must like each other's company in order for the bargain to work
As trust builds, the mentee builds a network of mentors.
Imagine ALL these people waking up in the morning thinking about how they can help you achieve your personal promise, bring down barriers, lift you, and let you soar to unimaginable heights.
A higher level of mentor is a 'sponsor'. This is someone who has confidence and trust in you, and promotes you and your capability to close friends.
While LUCK is always important, as well as EDUCATION, you can not depend on LUCK and EDUCATION alone to become successful.
To SUCCEED you must make your own LUCK and take risks when you see opportunities. You must have an underlying passion to reach a personal goal. You must also be driven by sheer talent, God's given GIFTS, Skill, and STYLE.
No passion...no SUCCESS. You drift.
Often, you don't have the KNOWLEDGE or EXPERIENCE or CONTACTS to reach that personal goal.
then,
Ultimately, you also need NEGOTIATION competence and knowledge of CORPORATE LAW and CASE LAW. This is important for everyone.
An ability to work with spreadsheets is also critical.
Mentors and Sponsors must play a role.
Each time my life changed, an angel brought me a mentor to help me.
I advise people to be alert to find a mentor. Then ask that person to mentor you.
Mentors can help you to understand yourself. Ask yourself "what is the meaning of this." Whatever you are doing, there is a meaning. Reach for the meaning of what you are doing.
In the bargain, it is essential for the mentee to understand the value offered to the mentor. The relationship is a bargain. Each person has expectations.
This section will tell stories of many mentors; and, what each gave to me.
