Producers and Consumers

While some people may argue that it is wrong to stereotype, I am going to beg your forgiveness and do so to make a point.

In this life we all have the choice of whether we are going to be a Producer or a Consumer. There is a place for each in the world. It is neither good nor bad to be one or the other. In business, the key is figuring out which one we are representing ourselves to be, which one we are dealing with and more importantly, which one we ourselves would like and be and which we would prefer to be dealing with. To oversimplify the concept, a Producer is one who gives and a Consumer is one who takes. A Producer creates value for itself or others, whereas a Consumer reduces the world's goods or services as a result of its existence. The best way to determine whether the
individual you are dealing with is disguised is to view the true results.

Each person has a choice each day whether to be a Producer or a Consumer. As I said earlier, it is neither good nor bad to be one or the other. There are likely times in our lives that we will be more one or the other on a given day. The main thing I would like to point out is that we all have the choice of which we want to be and which we want to deal with in our lives.

As always, your thoughts would be appreciated.
