A Capital Idea


Dear hearts,

Sha ron Morrie has made it known to Miss Mich that she feels there are not enough Capital Letter worthy subjects making their way into The Guide. Now it is true that Miss Mich has been somewhat beguiled by the sea of late and after casting her eye over the last few entries, Miss Mich concedes that enough of her mistress (La Beau Mer) for the moment, and more of the subjects that are going to make you, Dear hearts, appear terribly clever and have something intelligent to say next time you are standing in the super marche queue, at the bar or in your next meeting.

Miss Mich loves the concept of the "Consultant". This is totally Capital Letter worthy. Miss Mich has entertained the notion of becoming a "consultant" for many years. She remembers discussing it with one of her best friends, Jules Dog, at her kitchen table in Bellevue Hill in the summer of 1999, and just loving the idea of a business card that reads simply....

.... Consultant ....

It reminds Miss Mich a little of being something of a fortune teller. Tell me what you need and I will consult. If you feel a correlation to Consolidating One's Position you are definitely on to something...

It's all about the magic of "perceived knowledge". What you need to go with this perceived knowledge is confidence. The confidence to have a considered and informed opinion on any given topic that falls within your sphere of said consultancy. This, Dear hearts, is irrespective of whether in fact, you have any actual knowledge of the subject. Sounds confusing?...exactly.

Miss Mich has based most of her best career moves and a good chunk of her former life on this exact premise. The fact that it did not help with any of the charms is another story and the only flaw in this concept becoming "Self Help" book worthy.

At the end of the day, Dear hearts, all one can do is take one's strengths, perceived or otherwise, out into the marketplace and share the love. Miss Mich has done this literally and figuratively with a certain amount of well received success. It has made her the pen seller and sportswoman she is today.

Enjoy Wednesday.

With love and consultation

Miss Mich
