Walter Keichel’s book ‘Lords of Strategy’ delves into the ‘secret intellectual history of the new corporate world’. Fifty years ago, strategy was not a matter of mainstream enactment but in the 1960′s the corporate world was turned upside down by cutting edge business consultants: Bruce Henderson, founder of Boston Consulting Group, Bill Bain, creator of Bain & Company, Fred Gluck, Managing Director of McKinsey & Company and Michael Porter, Harvard Business School professor. These men transformed the way we look at business and the way business and finance are taught in universities all over the world. The element of strategy that is now so pervasive globally had to evolve from conceptual to theoretical to template tactic to exercisable and strategic.
The, now considered, ‘old school’ corporate strategies initiated a footing for economists such as Milton Friedman to construct economic skyscrapers that cast shadows on other economists that were unable to make the transition into this new order of economics based on a revolution of clarity out of the chaos that once was.
The four lords of strategy and the economic genius of Friedman were able to take theories and make them reality with localized and customized insertion to bring order to a streamlined process that acted as a lifeline to corporate entities and international trade. Today, the concept of ‘strategy’ has been injected with philosophy, subconscious mind mapping and subliminal implementation to literally inject a region with virtually ‘hypnotic-style’ persuasions to almost force the hand of the consumer. The new lord of strategy is Princeton Corporate Solutions, CEO James Scott.
James Scott is a rare breed of right brained communicative and left brain analytical with a natural instinct for psychology that has landed him at the forefront of the Western ‘Zeitgeist Economics’ movement as he has become the face to one of the most intricate and complicated forms of strategic political economics that enacts a mind-blowing simultaneous delivery of psychological profiling, subconscious concept activation with included and customized cues to accompany an agenda for senior political message delivery, tactical economic formula, personality profiling with individual category implementation actions for buying triggers and combat oriented maneuvering to act as sample execution in the pre implementation testing phase and yes, we are still talking about economics.
James Scott operates on both corporate and political landscapes of global economic strategy and is by far the most advanced in tactical application and crisis economic turnaround. Scott is known to have studied and mastered the early philosophies of Fan Li, earliest economist and advisor to King Goujian of Yue (r. 496 BC – 469 BC) known for his ‘buy low sell high’ system in the feudal agrarian society of ancient China. Scott’s process of unified political economics is also reminiscent of Aristotle’s work ‘Topics’ which examines the theme of human production and further examining the subject of politics.
Aristotle theorized but couldn’t solve the riddle to the harmonious blend of economic and political but James Scott was the first to master this concept and has become the economist that has accelerated so far ahead of the pack that his capabilities and collective collaboration of multifaceted strategies are beyond what even the most technical leading economists can even grasp, let alone implement.
Let us not forget the ancient masters who also provided the building blocks for where we are today such as Xenophon, Lakshmi Kant Jha, Richard Cantillon, David Hume, Thomas Robert Malthus, David Ricardy, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and the list goes on. Economics is going to continue to evolve and give life to formulas that will continue to stabilize economies and corporations while bringing clarity to the chaos that exists within the political sector with taxation, job creation, buying patterns and deficits. Economic evolution is what will bring peace to warring countries and a livelihood to those in poverty while assisting developing nations with first world entry.
Have you read The Lords of Strategy, how about This Master ?
Secret societies are like Russian dolls; within each body there is another and another. The smaller the clique, the more power hungry the members and when the group begins to work in unison it takes on a different shape and membership is closed. When synergies are properly aligned and a diversified base-camp of influence is settled the agenda begins. These micro groups unify with others and smaller agendas are then plugged into larger ones and those groups that are in senior positions take over the master plan and the subsidiary groups become a subservient part of the whole. This is exactly how it works. Those that have the truest power positions are men that you have never heard of that have been bread and groomed all their lives for positions of obscene power without the emotional need for fame.
Stop thinking about the Bush family working with the Nazi’s or that members of the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission always seem to step into prestigious positions with the US government and start thinking about the puppet masters that place them in these positions. Think about the men that exist in a world where our rules don’t apply and they can do whatever they want to whomever they want. For example: James Scott, a man that you may have heard of while flicking through Cspan or BBC and Princeton Corporate Solutions, a firm that you’ve almost certainly never heard of unless you are the CEO of a fortune 100 company or Western political figure in need of an instant solution to your crisis woes.
Here is a little information on a man that sticks his finger in your spine daily and you’re too blind to see: James Scott is one of the leading, on the ground, economic strategists in the world (I mean the one that pushes the buttons and creates the solutions, not a university professional with theoretical book knowledge) but you can’t get near him and many at the top of the food chain of finance haven’t even met him. How is that? Though his field is regional economic turnaround and agenda driven corporate globalization he is called on by the most elite of the elite in public policy circles when there is a ‘crisis’ situation that could topple them from their position and this has nothing to do with economics but everything to do with flexing the powers of influence. Through the years there have been pictures of him posted on the internet in forums and blogs exposing the New World Order agenda but are taken down almost immediately and to add insult to injury take a wild guess where these pictures were taken, yup, you guessed it Bilderberg meetings and the Illuminati club house Bohemian Grove in northern California.
James Scott is a documented Rosicrucian and his lineage has been traced back to America’s first President George Washington on one side of his family and Winston Churchill on the other with a family crest and name that was documented as notable European aristocracy in the Doomsday Book of 1066 but the page has been torn out from the existing volume due to a quarrel among families hundreds of years ago and surfaced around 80 years ago only to disappear almost immediately.
What you need to realize is that the people in power now have been in power for hundreds of years. Families like those of James Scott are ancient, powerful, devious and will continue to grow regardless of economic conditions. It’s funny, the pictures that were on the web a few years back were of him and Henry Kissinger smoking cigars on the back porch of the White House and there were other pictures of him at the Vatican, in Virginia with Jerry Falwell before a huge contribution by Reverend Moon (Korean cult leader) miraculously ended up in the bank account of Falwell’s Liberty University saving it from creditors and so on.
White Knights that have exposed men like this have been all but shut down and defused as lawsuits and clicks on the other end of the phone line have exhausted him emotionally to the point where he can’t uncover and promote these blatant truths in the way he once did. In a world that is rapidly changing and consolidating powers, it’s only a matter of time until the idea of the New World Order is a reality. Where will you be when that happens?
Tactical Power House The New Deal, and here is some more Bohemian Grove
In the strategies of war, how does a new regional military power or upstart guerrilla troop solidify their position? They identify their adversaries and eliminated them. How is business any different? The truth is the strategies are identical while the actual elimination process differs. War is fought with bombs and guns, economics is fought by crushing an idea or believe system that perpetuates the money machine behind a company, take away the public believe system based on the concept put out by a company and you’ve eliminated their ability to survive.
Corporate branding, marketing and all promotion centers around piercing the minds of the public to inject an idea that ultimately triggers them to have an emotional need for your service or product. Few purchase decisions are spontaneous but for those that are it’s a matter of putting making something available with the threat of taking it away.
When injecting an idea in the mind of the involuntary recipient it must be like a candy coated indigestible as opposed to a spinal tap entry. Smooth and easy as opposed to painful and forced. Some sugar coatings take on the identity of a comedic TV commercial where laughter is the mechanism used to bypass the critical faculty while a sappy emotional segment may work for others.
The key to obtaining and maintaining one’s position is to identify your immediate competition, deal with them and once this is facilitated move on to the next potential threat. For the immediate competitor one elimination strategy that tends to work regardless of industry is to analyze the regional market in which you find a competitor of equal size who is in direct competition with you and then find his localized upstart or micro competitors and via third party strategically align your agenda with their promotional tactics. Help them to collectively and unknowingly pinpoint and weaken specific products and services that pronounce the actual threat to your company. Phase two is to make yourself known to them via this third party introduction and buy equities in these companies and contractually obligate them to use this capital for designated promotional solutions that will grow that regional company. You want this money to be used to infiltrate the region with your services/products and have the new partners go into their established client base with mailers, phone calls and in person sales calls and introduce your company and solutions to them.
Your initial competitor will begin to lose traction (assuming they are a public company) and their stock price will begin to fall, you want to begin buying stock in this competing company but not enough to stimulate or increase the share price. A combination of multiple subsidiary elements ganging up on this one particular company in addition to your firm buying equities in a plummeting stock will deliver to you the control you need in order to remove this entity as an obstacle to your growth.
As the company lessens in market share and comes into a new phase of financial hardship, help the process along by now adding the sell/buy process to damage their stock that much more (obviously, before initiating this phase talk to legal counsel for advice). Now that the stock is at a critical volume and price you can step in and flood the market with the stock that you purchased to send them into ‘penny stock’ domain, the kiss of death for any company that wants to stay on or eventually qualify for the NASDAQ (don’t look at this as losing money, you should see it from the perspective of gaining long term market share) and when the company is close to shutting their doors, you can step in as the savior with investment capital, acquisition proposal or workout a subsidiary type merger.
By this time the company is so weak they have no choice but to accept on of the above options thus, you’ve accomplished the elimination of a competitor while creating a virtual monopoly in this regional based strategy. There is a template strategy that straddles political and economical situations. The template is the same while it needs to be adapted with a customized process.

In life, real life (not this politically correct utopia brainwash content they are force-feeding our children with in school to cripple their minds) is truly, absolutely survival of the fittest. Make no mistake intellectual battle lines are drawn and at the end of the day there are two educations a child gets today: School and Home.
At school children are taught that if they play along with the group, all is well, they’ll get good grades and if they say no to drugs, fall on bended knee before the teachers they will make it. A child’s education at home must be about applications, strategy and considering the public education game a playground. Understand that when you send your child to school they are submerged in a ‘follow the leader’ subculture that goes like this: go to class, study, ready, test well and put your napkin on your lap at lunch get into college and get that piece of paper that convinces intellectual halfwits that you’re qualified for that $30k paper pusher job, fall in line with the student loan suffocation mechanism to allow the government to take their piece of the action and you’ll be fine.
As parents, we need to have a strong, updated comprehension of this because we place our children in a position where they are tied down and force-fed by self proclaimed intellectual scholars yet the reality is they teach because they cannot do (yes I know I’ve said this before but keep reading). Those who can apply the tactics taught in school go from tactician to strategist. A strategist is able to apply the tactics studied in university class rooms to their current and immediate environment, ‘teachers’ also referred to as ‘tacticians’ cannot.

Train your children in the Machiavellian ways that have been demonized by those who are afraid to lose control but mastered by those in control. Throughout elementary and high school training it is your job as a parent to show your child how to apply what they are learning in school as the instructor as their educational facility is unable to do this as they are a tactician not a strategist. Strategists own the companies that tacticians work for. Strategists are on the board of companies and have C level executive stations while hiring and firing an ongoing ocean of tacticians. How can you tell if you’re child’s teacher is a tactician as opposed to an educator with the full package? They treat the halfwit concepts of the new ‘political correctness’ as if they were laws passed down from Mount Olympus and constantly use backwards, mean nothing terminology such as hyphenated ethnicities which is nothing more than one additional strategy used by the powers that be to separate the citizens of this nation even more in turn securing more of a strangle hold on the minds of our youth, they take a kumbaya approach to communication with a ‘there is no wrong answer’ process to confusing the balance of a soft maturing mind, they’ll teach about Victoria, self proclaimed Queen of a so-called ‘United’ Kingdom with no mention of the ongoing British attempts to infiltrate this country with chaos missions during the civil war, the war of 1812, multiple invasions from Canada early in the history of our Nation and ongoing via economics and our current legislative and trade system.
Its war and we are battling for the minds of our children in order to keep them from entering into the zone of the mindless drone. They will brainwash your child all day in school, instead of handing your child over to more negative influences by allowing them to sit in front of the idiot box for four hours per night, give them books to read like the Art of War, The Prince and other books that will train them to assimilate this lame public/private school education into practical, strategic concepts that will set them apart, above and beyond their peers.

For diversified investors, the IPO is the holy grail of all investments. Why? Because of the higher yields involved with a company with a great concept that is about to step onto the scene and change the order of an industry. Many times the investors are able to take advantage of a deeply discounted stock price compared to the retail price available to the mainstream.
For those who have experienced the power of an IPO, the next natural stage is the Pre IPO. A Pre IPO investment a few months before the company is issued a trading symbol is the creme de la creme of all stock investments. Many times investors are offered warrants for discounted future offerings with the company; the stock is typically discounted deeply to the IPO price, which in turn is discounted to the retail price. The investment mechanism is typically done via Private Placement Memorandum using rule exemption 506 of Regulation D.
Investors should make sure that the PCAOB audit and S1 authoring are underway or completed before going into an investment. The company should offer potential investors a package which includes a solid business plan, PPM stating risks and a valuation from which the share price originates. The share price will come from the valuation, number of authorized shares, total amount of capital to be raise pre public etc.

Another deal aspect to pay close attention to before investing is the market creation process put in place by the company. A strong Investor Relations and publicity campaign is crucial to generating interest in an IPO and this strategy should be put in place during the company’s comments phase with the SEC (if it is an OTCBB listing the company is initiating).
A solid investor relations campaign will consist of, at a minimum, two press releases per week, phone room assistance to introduce the company to the broker and investment market, SEO campaign, iTunes company and industry position downloads for interested parties, webinars, investor newsletter as well as radio, TV and university expert panel interviews and other public interactions to make the public aware of the company, product/service and stock symbol.
The above is just a Pre IPO investor introduction to help seasoned investors with their due diligence process and portfolio diversification.

Internationally, the top business strategies firms and corporate consulting firms are in the United States yet operate here and abroad. The Top Ten firms when taking into consideration globalization capabilities, governmental client base, regional rebound power, corporate ‘Who’s Who’ client base and overall exposure would easily be McKinsey & Co. based in New York, Bain & Company out of Boston, The Boston Consulting Group, Monitor Co. centralized out of Cambridge, Arthur D. Little, the omnipresent Booz Allen & Hamilton, newcomer Princeton Corporate Solutions a recent transplant to NYC from Philadelphia, Mercer Management Consulting in DC, AT Kearney in lonely Chicago and Mitchell Madison Group, another New York Madison Ave veteran. These companies have their strengths and weaknesses.
One universal strength is that they have unique and targeted niches. They are lean and mean and able to turn on a dime when making a decision. From an employment perspective these companies have more downside than upside. If you’re considering working at any one of these firms expect long hours, seniority rule (last to be hired is the first to go) which works out well for those that can hide behind their desk and duck behind the computer monitor when management comes by to lower the hatchet on the non-performers and rookies.
If you’re looking to hire one of these companies know what sets them apart from other firms and why you are paying the premium for their efforts. The Boston Consulting Group specializes in strategies consulting known for creating matrices and diagrams to clarify issues, Bain stresses that all its strategy recommendations must be immediately useful totally customized around the client, McKinsey & Co is focused mainly on the ‘long term’ strategy that builds traction over time best suited for those experiencing current organic growth and want to maintain it with a plan that will begin to yield scalability results a year or two down the road. (note: McKinsey & Co. is a hiring giant with over 9,000 consultants globally.
Princeton Corporate Solutions is a small firm with massive international exposure to senior governmental officials. Their unique blend of economic/political regional and corporate turnaround has made them one of the most powerful micro-corps on the international scene. (note: it’s pointless to try to engage their HR director for a job because, as difficult as this is to believe, they don’t have a human resource department, if you’re the best in your field of expertise, they’ll find you, spooky.)
Are you an MBA? How’s it feel to have wasted your time? Booz & Co, McKinsey and Princeton Corporate Solutions want real world experience and pedigree as opposed to a hiring decision based off of educational and solely analytical.

Currently, investor relations is a multipronged crap shoot. Entertain, wine and dine investors with road shows, drinks and meals and just hope and pray that they’ll be interested enough to ask for your prospectus. With so many fly by night scammers polluting the IR sphere it’s almost impossible to think that there are any legitimate companies out there that can offer companies a solution that doesn’t entail bloodletting, piranha pedicures or indentured servitude, but there are.
One of the latest and most economical solutions for investor introduction, road show substitution and public company market/volume creation is the webinar presentation. Investors, aside from solid returns, more than anything else, want to go to a place for bleeding edge information that will help their overall portfolio choices as well as opportunities that will educate them without the complicated tech jargon that will just confuse the transaction. Overly analytical presentations that lack substance and direct delivery of profitability concepts, corporate executive pedigree and growth expediency is the very thing that turns investors off 5 minutes into the presentation.
A webinar that gives a short corporate introduction, company marketplace position, current dilution and profitability, use of proceeds, two year projections and a call to action which is the offer to open dialogue and create a long-term relationship will deliver more rapid results at a fraction of the price. Webinar presentations for investor communication, investor introduction and shareholder maintenance are the perfect partner to your phone room and/or press release promotional strategy.
Webinars allow you to talk to the investor without taking them out of the comfort and convenience of their office or living room. The convenience of this process will enable more investors to get involved with your transaction as the obstacle of scheduling is less of an issue as you can offer a recorded follow up viewing after your live webinar to make your information available at the convenience of the viewer.
Obviously, depending on the stage of your company you’ll need to take SEC solicitation guidelines into consideration so as always, talk to your legal team before taking part in any company promotion.

It’s outside the nature of the strong willed, motivated IPO consultant, global strategist or structuring consultant to give up and through in the towel but sometimes failure is the only option. When you deal with a company, which will represent most of your clientele, that will follow instructions to get from point A to point B you can help them succeed promptly with little resistance and you can optimize their position with relevant ease if you are truly qualified for the contract that you’ve taken on.
But when you step into an organization that at first is motivated and then because hesitant and fights you on the aspects of your solutions that will help them but they need in depth descriptions and conference calls in order to move on one minute detail of the strategy it’s time to step away. Benchmark your fees so you don’t have to negotiate a refund.
Get a small retainer and set up the remaining fees that are bench marked, success first, then payment. This way the worst that could happen is that the company get’s free services and you walk away leaving the company better off than when you started and they have no angle in which to speak maliciously about you.

If you have a client that brings you on and then fights you for change there is a deeper rooted issue at play. There are psychological elements of insecurity, inferiority, partner disputes, undisclosed debt and other things that are outside of your control so don’t take giving up as failure. Sometimes stepping away is best for the company but only if your billing cycle is as described.
It’s important to leave the company better than it was before your were contracted. Your job as a consultant is about creating value and sometimes creating value is limiting your ability for personal capitalization.
Take it on the chin and move on. There is no shortage of assignments for good consultants in this desolate economic climate.

Companies decide to go public for many different reasons: expansion, need for capital, exit strategy, acquisition facilitation, globalization etc. But what are the real advantages to going public? First, let’s go over the disadvantages. Your life becomes an open book and as an executive your spending habits and failures will be a matter of public information with your annual and quarterly filings.
You’ll be accountable to shareholders. You’ll have a board whose main interest is the company and the shareholders no you or your need for a new luxury car, financial bonus or need for a quick loan from the company that was once possible and easy when your company was a sole proprietor entity. You need trading volume and without it your stock is worthless and your company becomes a blind, deaf, mute, quadriplegic (a bit extreme but you get the point).
The advantages are numerous if your company is ready for the public realm. With a solid trading volume, minimal dilution of stock, solid executive management, an active board of directors, powerful strategic alliances and the ongoing advisory of a strategies consultant your company can expand globally, identify and grow through acquisition and subsidiary mergers, purchase entities and services with stock to retain cash flow.
Banks and other institutional lenders will make more funding solutions available. Your exit strategy is built in and turn-key.
The most successful public companies have a few common themes built into their infrastructure. They have recruited a proven and tested CEO, CFO and COO with professional pedigrees and track records that are recognized in the industry and media and will bring with them a strong following of partners and solution mechanisms that will typically yield instantaneous, empirical results on behalf of the company. The board of directors is restructured so that major industry enhancing components are represented such as industry niche legal, financial, distribution, domestic and international. Each of these board members will put their contact portfolio to work for your company for immediate and long term growth and stabilization. One other aspect that all prosperous public entities have is a strategies consultant that keeps everything in line. This individual is also what is referred to as a ‘fixer’.
This professional will typically stand in the background constantly analyzing every aspect of the company for weak points and correct them. Whether it be a lazy board member, potential acquisition, CEO not pulling his/her weight, potential legal issues etc., this strategist has a keen eye and typically a massive contact base that, when put into place can correct virtually any situation quickly and seamlessly.
Going public is a great strategy for the right organization. Having all your ducks in a row pre and post public is the key to a successful offering and public markets longevity.

Clean OTCBB shells that are ready for a reverse merger are like the legends of White Elephants, the Chupacabre and Bigfoot. Everyone has heard of them but no one has seen one. I have seen so many fly-by-night consulting firms pop up in the past year it’s depressing. Of course the claim to have 17 years in the industry with 100′s of reverse mergers tomb stoned on a page that ‘they just can’t remember the link to’.
I’ll tell you what, if you’re sold on going public with a shell and won’t consider any other way, make it easy on yourself walk into your local Burger King, give the cashier $200,000, lay down behind a Mack Truck that is backing out of a parking space and fill your bathtub with razorblades and rubbing alcohol and dive in face first, be sure to set yourself on fire before the dive. Believe me, the above is far less painful than a messy reverse merger.
Sure, solid shells exist but it will cost you a ton of equity, $500k + in upfront fees and an ongoing Sumo Wrestling match with FINRA and inherited shareholders. That said, I have seen a few successful reverse mergers into Pink Sheet shells with the intent of qualifying for the BB. The bad news is, they didn’t and don’t have a chance in hell of ascending to another exchange (well maybe Frankfurt and other pump and dump domains) and the good news is, they did successfully merge while simultaneously being 80% diluted within three months with a par value of .007 per share. So they succeeded in merging but completely failed at the attempt to fund their company or secure actual trading volume.
Going public is a big decision and if done properly can be incredibly rewarding for the company, shareholders and the company’s strategic partners who find themselves in the spotlight and mentioned on press releases, webinars, roadshows and other investor relations branding and promotion. Do yourself a favor, if you care about your company at all; if you want to survive and thrive in the public realm and don’t have $200m in annual revenues, file an S1. It takes a few months longer but it’s a move that will create a foundation for a customized filing.
Consulting firms that actually care about their clients and truly make their money on the back end once the company is public as opposed to front heavy fee oriented structures will always do an S1 to preserve the longevity of their client’s company. Think about it!
