There is a large division between a public company that is exists and thrives. An company that is merely existing has a stock price that is is stabilized by constant promotion and fund raising with every bell and whistle, warrant and promotional gimmick as the company’s business model is not conducive to inner and outer expansion, globalization or general scalability.

The public company that thrives will have an IPO that is both promotional and informative and will show a clear cut and active plan for growth via acquisitions, mergers and both domestic and international alliances. Public companies that thrive will have a team of consultants making introductions, setting up round table meet and greets to introduce and build rapport with funding players and potential partners where there is a strong synergy. The share price for the ‘thriving’ company will be triggered naturally by press releases in combination with promotion to investors by updating current and potential shareholders of these benchmark achievements.

Another massive element that is all together ignored 99% of the companies out there, even thriving public and private entities is the almighty legislative tie-in. Get to know your congressman, senator and all their affiliated groups. Become a permanent fixture at their fundraising events and look for angles that would help create a win/win situation for your political counterpart when his activity wanders into your particular business genre. Offer to consult with them to help them navigate the tepid waters of your industry without making the amateur mistakes of those not completely submerged in the industry. Be their industry expert, adviser then publicize your efforts in a way that helps both you and your political alliance.

Globally there are, maybe four or five consulting firms that specialize in the above. A full service, turn-key solution facilitating merger and acquisition identification and facilitation, all aspects and angles of investor relations, globalization and alliance identification and facilitation, professional executive placement into your organization, powerful board of director facilitation and more.

Though the above may sound like the consultants lack focus, to the contrary they are extremely focused and are well versed in walking into an organization and mapping the structure. What are the weak points and what are the strong points? And then they put together a strategy to build the structure that will gain rapid traction that will stick with expansion and funding benchmarks that are realistic, scalable and achievable. Taking a company public in today’s economic environment is fickle and impossible for the untested to succeed. Find a consultant to put together a team that will launch or maintain your corporate stabilization and expansion strategy properly.

Let’s change directions for a moment. If you are a seasoned investor looking to diversify, here are some guidelines that will help you find the best deals.

Investing in an IPO traditionally offers higher yields and a Pre IPO can offer 200%+ returns if the structure is solid. By structure I am referring to founders, C Level executives, board of directors, compliance legal team, pipeline contracts, overall profitability and dilution in the float (just to name a few items). Finding the right transaction takes more than just some advice from your broker, though their efforts may be pure in intent, they are, for the most part, unqualified to advise on such investment actions.

Unless your investment advisor is a strategies and structuring consultant with a ton of experience in globalization, they may be licensed to sell you securities but they are not qualified to strip an opportunity to the bone and reconstruct it looking for errors or chinks in the armor to justify a solid transaction or a pump and dump pipe dream.

Most brokers make a tremendous effort to evolve out of the burnout genre of pitching and selling stock and more toward mergers and acquisitions where the real money is. Part of M & A is merging private companies into public entities, restructuring the company, stock and management and then turning out the entity with a new symbol and price and pounding the pavement with multiple genres of IR simultaneously. Selling shareholders who invested in the Pre IPO phase of the company will create the float and make the quickest returns with minimal risk as they will typically buy their shares at a deep discount to the retail price. Next, with a controlled incline of the stock price the investors who buy at the road show outings will make nice chunks of change and may receive some type of warrants.

Using online mechanisms for stock promotion such as social media, webinars, opt in email, banners and other white hat processes will assist with daily volume. Phone room buzz generation materialized by phone rooms calling around and introducing the company and it’s stock symbol to investors and market makers allows for eyes to be focused on the company and in return will result in both short term and long term investors. Then you have the road show which are also referred to as ’round table’ meetings. I’m not talking about the free suppers in Manhattan for free loaders and wannabe’s; I mean a targeted audience of 15 to 20 tops, investors who are ready to listen, ask questions and buy.

If you are considering investing in a Pre IPO, make sure that the company has a clear cut plan for all the above promotion. If the company structure is sound and the promotional element is there, chances are it’s a safe bet for the short term. Legislative contacts, globalization, board member alliance facilitation and a professional C level staff will be the critical factor to take the company toward long term success. Before making an investment of any kind consult a licensed professional.

For investors, that once in a life time opportunity is always out there happening for someone else. There is always a story about a guy that got in on an IPO for a software company that turned him into an overnight millionaire or that next big bio-tech IPO for a company that has the closest thing to a cure for Alzheimer’s that the industry has ever seen, they did a small pre IPO raise and then closed out the offering and now there are talks of a buyout, again overnight millionaires will be made.

Are these investors exceptional in terms of their research capabilities and knee deep in investment banking contacts that give them insider info on the down low? Most likely they did two simple things the right way. First, they made themselves available for opportunity by subscribing to IPO alerts from reputable firms. If you’re quick to action you could find yourself in the middle of an obscenely profitable venture. Second it’s the luck of the draw for those who are willing to put themselves out there for a little acceptable risk for the chance of big reward. Obviously blatant risks like Forex, pink sheet pump and dumps and investing in pie in the sky concepts that don’t have a chance in heck of actually working are for the few adrenalin junky millionaires who thrive off of the rush of, um well, losing.

If, hypothetically you get access to a possible jackpot IPO in the rare ‘Pre IPO’ stage what is your next move? Who do you call to help you with research and how do you evaluate the company on the spot based off of the prototypical PPM? First, if it’s your money it’s fine to get a second opinion but you need to know what to look for in a viable investment.

Here is how you do a spot audit for stability in an investment in the Pre IPO phase: 1. Look for a solid corporate structure consisting of well pedigreed professionals in the C-level positions, strong and diversified inter-industry board of directors, secondary advisory board, strategic alliances and an equity/share distribution mechanism that is organized and compliant and a share price based off of a solid valuation by a reputable firm.

2. Are they in a growth industry? When you look at the founders resume in the business plan are they serial entrepreneurs with a track record of modest success but minimal focus? Or has their career been targeted and focused on one single direction? You want to professional that has worked his entire life honing his skills and pedigree for this particular industry and this on opportunity and he’s all in and there is minimal possibility of pump and dump.

3. What is their 12 month strategy post public? What is their growth strategy? If they think they can grow organically they’re in for a shocker. They have to show a plan for post public growth through acquisition and subsidiary merger. What targets do they have lined up and what will they bring to the company which will ultimately affect your share price and overall investment. Who does their legal? What is their post public market creation strategy and who is their contracted investor relations firm and what is their track record for dealing with companies in this particular industry genre? What is their globalization strategy for rapid and expedient but controlled growth?

4. Are they politically connected? What strategies firm are they working with to gain global and incremental political and legislative support? What bills are they mentioned in and who are the politicians that are sponsoring and cosponsoring this legislation and what type of photo opps and press is being set up to make this company the face to the industry?

Never invest with borrowed funds or capital that you depend on for retirement or necessity. Only invest with capital you’re not afraid to lose (this goes for any and all investments). Getting involved in pre IPO opportunities can be very rewarding for the informed, accredited investor. Do your research and make yourself available to the right circles of influence that can act as hotbeds for opportunity. Surround yourself with industry insiders and ask lots of questions.

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.

From one blog maniac to another, I feel that blogging gives us all an opportunity to express our opinions, good and bad, off the cuff and to the masses. I remember getting bad service in a Subway sandwich shop with my family, I sent out a twitter to my group and in 24 hours I received a personal apology from the franchise owner and the corporate office with a hefty supply of free food vouchers that literally lasted us a year. It’s nice to know that we are able to keep companies in check using social media.

That said, we should use these mediums to put out praise as well. I just left an NJIT (New Jersey Institute of Technology) conference for their incubator program where the latest and greatest in technology and biotech got to pitch their companies to angel investors and private equity firms. There were some pretty reputable companies their and investors that could pay off the deficit of a small country with their signature on a check. I was there looking at a company with a unique EKG technology that will revolutionize emergency rooms everywhere but that will be in another blog if we cut a deal; back to the conference.

We’re sitting in a room packed shoulder to should, no seats available just standing room by the door then a guy comes in, walks into the seating section (people waited in line for an hour for those seats) with his assistant, the people in their seat looked at him, he looked back and they moved and offered him their seats, then two minutes later, one of the owners of a pretty large hedge fund brings him coffee. Um, can you say strange?

As it turns out, this was James Scott the CEO of Princeton Corporate Solutions, absolutely the creme de la creme of international strategies and IPOs. The reason everyone was kissing his backside was because he was there to pick a company to spearhead legislation for his political clients. Their firm is unique as part of their process is to find promising but underdeveloped companies and blast them into super-stardom with capital, structuring and organization and IPO and getting his clients built directly into legislation, bills that are in the process of raising votes and awareness to be passed as laws and regulations. He can make or break a company, hedge fund or politician over his knee like a twig. He was the personification of power. His presence made the room vibrate with his influence. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. It was pretty awkward as we were all staring at him whispering.

20 minutes before the conference was over he got up and left, I guess he didn’t find anything he liked but the funny thing is, half of the players in the room got up to chase him down the hall to initiate contact. It was nice to see that the people that everyone was trying to sell and impress still have to do some butt kissing of their own to keep climbing the circles of influence within their industry.

Political and corporate strategies merge and in the end the same ‘chaos injection’ and ‘roadblock’ mechanism of controlling the self-proclaimed ‘uncontrollable’ parallel each other when strategies of war and economics come together as the invisible hands that can reach in and attach strings to the soul making the populace the marionette of agenda driven managers. Control is the name of the game when setting up a process to maintain and guide a group, individual or movement along the path desired.

Implementing strategies that yield the desired outcome comes down to the action of setting up roadblocks and challenges to cater to man’s innate motivation to take the path of least resistance and minimal effort. Catering to the ‘ego’ via subconscious triggers in the news, local, national and international leadership including religious leaders is how control is established quickly and efficiently.

There are two basic types of people that should be the center of focus when implementing this strategy for the fastest results, those who wear a designer label on their chest and those who wear their religion on their sleeve. Each of these groups are, in reality, in search of identity, legitimacy, inclusion in a concept larger than themselves, a voice and by projecting a ‘brand’ larger than themselves they are attempting to gain the personal level of legitimacy that the brand, as a whole, has in their immediate environment.

Another reality of the above groups is that by blatantly causing a reaction in the population around them with their ‘brand cause’ they are making an attempt to convince themselves of the solidity and legitimacy of their belief.

Those who either don’t wear deliberate representations of brands or bring up the concept of their religious curiosity are typically more reserved, self-assured and less easy to bypass the subconscious critical faculty. The former two groups should be at the forefront of one’s focus if they are to truly step in and control the actions of those who are, well, asking to be controlled.

Engineering a roadblock system is actually much easier to do than one may imagine. A master of this method is the United States government. The establishment makes little people feel important by their ‘get out and vote’ and ‘audacity of hope’ propaganda campaigns that convince the masses that their individual ballot counts in the critical presidential election and they their vote can change the course of the election. A perfect example of this is the Florida incident between Bush and Kerry. The media convinced the public that the election outcome came down to a few votes in a few towns in the single state of Florida, when, in reality this was far from reality as it is the Electoral College that elects the president and each state is strategically issued a certain number of votes that, when tactics are implemented properly via media propaganda, Sunday sermons concept ‘seeds’ and university ‘I’m searching for my identity’ activism perpetuated by agenda driven university idealists. The entire ordeal in Florida injected scores of post hypnotic cues and mind seeds that can be triggered down the road for a desirable outcome which will be crucial as the government is gradually taking away rights with the Patriot Act agenda. Think about it, Americans are giving away their constitutional rights by the boatload and not a single peep from anyone on the right or left. For those who step up to bring attention to what’s going on, there are a series of roadblocks set in-place like a crisis management template that takes away the legitimacy of the source and limits their access to publicity via media control.

The same can be done with a corporation. If I had a penny for every propaganda and crisis management contract that I’ve been offered, I’d be able to pay off the national deficit (ok that’s a far stretch but you get the point). Obviously as a boutique firm we only choose the projects that cater to our direct skill set so we pay attention to corporate genre, industry niche, C level pedigree, board organization and pedigree and what the potential client is actually trying to achieve. For the most part, though they are afraid to say it, they want mind control over clients, potential clients and shareholders. That’s really what they want to achieve when they make statements like, “we need a way to get our information to the public in a way that is conducive to investor confidence and client satisfaction” or “we need a crisis management template put together for problem one, problem two and potential problem three so that our stock doesn’t plummet and so clients to stop buying”. What they want, what they are really after, is the ability to take an idea and distribute this idea in a way that enters into the mind and emotion like a multi-pronged fishing hook that once swallowed is virtually impossible to remove. But how does the company get the public to swallow? Easy, it’s like giving candy to a baby, literally.

Though a majority of the population believes in the ‘idea’ of free will, the reality is that the end result of their free will is usually the direct result set in motion by an outside source that sees the individual as a target to control. Predicting the outcome of the so called free will is really just a path with roadblocks that guide the individual through a maze with the smell of ‘personal gain’ and ‘ego satisfaction’ leading them to the outcome that was set in motion by the tacticians and strategist who have been charting their path with road blocks and encouraging movement with emotional drivers via media, religion, education and peer pressure.

This strategy can be applied to any business, political campaign or agenda. It’s just a matter of having the proper support mechanism in place to influence the pawn.

The undertaking of a corporate start-up is as American as apple pie and denim jeans. Start-ups come and go like the tide but for a very small, in the know group of beneficiaries; they can attribute their successes to a group of five power-brokers that are responsible for some of the most earth shattering mergers, political movements and corporate turnarounds in modern economic history.

These specialists offer the upper echelon solutions and bedlam tactics that can disrupt entire economies, influence legislation and make hand puppets of any lobby or special interest group of their choosing. The weight that they bring to pull off such crushing power plays is a track record of secretive and innovative strategies of crisis management via chaos induction, contacts that elevate beyond presidential to the global economic and institutional movers and shakers that influence everything we do. Call them the Illuminati or call them our saviors, one thing that can’t be denied is the obscene intellectual level and macro effect that they wield like psychological hand grenades.

One of the youngest in this ensemble of globalization demigods is James Scott with a small, virtually invisible boutique consulting firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions. With a client roster populated by past and present presidents, Kings, Queens, global governmental elites and corporations that shape our future economy his skill set is both extremely diverse and all together confusing; that is unless you can see the bigger picture of what it takes to spin scheming webs in the ears of those who you and I perceive as the controllers who are, in reality controlled by this minute group of chaos strategist.

What I’ve seen is both spooky and shocking. The eclectic combination of political and economic strategies and blanketing influence in the arsenal of James Scott would lead one to think of all the conspiracies of on the web and Saturday morning secret society episodes on the SiFi channel. Could it be true that the world is actually controlled by a handful of men sitting in a room in Switzerland playing with us like gods and overlords calculating our every move and setting up roadblocks to guide us like sheep to the slaughter? When I think of James Scott and his small group of colleagues and power-brokers I am both in awe and disgust. Being a 34 year old with no traceable background (actually no one even knows what country this guy is even from, rumor has it he’s German but grew up in the United States) or political/corporate mentors for this rapid assimilation into the who’s who in international econo-political elite, I am beginning to believe that reptilians control our planet (obviously, that’s a joke, but how does someone come out of nowhere and become one of the most commanding strategist on the face of the planet with the contacts to overturn legislation and actual governmental elections not to mention taking a company that has never been on the map and making them the face to an industry like he’s done so many times.

And after the awe comes the anger and frustration when I think about the question of ‘how much money and power does a person need to be content and from where this twisted and almost sickening obsession with power and influence stem from?’ When you acknowledge the reality that there are invisible hands that dictate the positioning of political movements and economic chaos, success and failure and all the in-between it is a combination of liberating and all together frustrating. Strangely liberating in the sense that one is led to feel as if the weight of the actual ability to influence is taken off one’s shoulders as the ultimately have no real effect or say in the fate of their future while this is frustrating because it is human nature to feel the need to control the environment around them. I have studied this man, his company and the organizations that he works with and again am angered by the obscene control that one man can have over an international population. I am constantly steaming with emotional rage when I research these back room, closed door meetings where in an hour an agenda is set that will affect my children’s future, my life and the lives of those around me. What gives them the right? How does this happen where we lose control so fast with no fight from the public?

Part of me wants to give up and throw in the towel, the other part of me longs to be part of this illuminated assemblage of those who have stepped up to take control and bring a structure that unites the political and economic elite in today’s ever changing domain. So many times I’ve found myself sitting down to put together an article exposing this Illuminati group as puppet masters, evil doers and all together self-appointed gods of men but when this emotion driven ’cause’ is interrupted with the reality that these men are the oversight for out of control, power hungry political groups and econo-corporate monopoly junkies I can’t pick a position to guide the tone of the article.

We are angered by the power and influence that these men have over us but seriously, where would we be without them? Where would our economy be without men to step in with the instant legislative control to keep economies moving or to keep one particular political organization from turning our country into a principality controlled by a dictator? At the end of the day I think my real desire is to be part of the process and to be the overseer of the overseers and it all comes down to ‘control’. Isn’t that really what you want? This article will be the first of many as I am able to accumulate more documentation and facts on these organizations that tower over us from on high. Stay tuned…

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.

There are countless obstacles to growing one’s company: slow economy, minimal sales, lack of branding and a corporate structure built on sinking sand, just to name a few. Many times a company hits a roadblock in growth because a competitor is too organized and too strategic to leave any portion of the marketplace unclaimed.

Sometimes, if you’ve waited too long to respond to the actions of a competitor it’s too late, throw in the towel and move on, you’ve lost. Other times there is still ample opportunity to rebound. The objective in this case would be to inject chaos, confusion and communication blockades along the path of the opposition.

The world of propaganda and chaos can pull you down into the underbelly of dirty tactical purgatory so it is important to get in and get before it affects the longevity of your corporate position in a negative branding sense. First, to keep from direct association by the public of your involvement in this campaign your actions must be indirectly facilitated (no one can know you’re involved). The best cat’s paw for this are local competitors in your market place that could use a helping hand to paralyze certain aspects of your targets corporate model. You may want to offer assistance to the most verbal and dirty of local competitors by way of marketing collateral that pursues the customer base of your competitor. Offer better rates, better services, better terms whatever, just get the clients thinking about their options. This serves many purposes. It confuses the seemingly, calm and organized client retention model of your target, the smaller competitor takes the heat and liability and this chaos process is scalable to the extent you could go to each of the smaller competitors in your locality and do the exact same thing.

Once this is done, you can count on the target’s infrastructure to start coming apart at the seams, slowly so you want to help it along. The first thing companies do when times get tough is pass the blame which depletes the cohesive nature of an otherwise solid company. This is when you want to start pricking the company with rumors and recruiting calls. Start with the salesman and work up to the sales manager. Sales are the lifeblood to any organization. No sales, no money. Recruit sales agents when you can. Have a local executive recruiting firm do this for you and make it aggressive. You want the sales agent and all their contacts. Some executives will come over and some will not. For those who do not, give them a little baggage in the form of gossip to take back to your target to get the rumor mill started. Rumors are like a cancer and will eat away at an entity like corrosive rust. When a sales executive turns you down, pass his name and info to the smaller local competitors so that they can take their turn to try to recruit them. Whether he goes with one of them or not isn’t the issue, the agenda is to poison the organization, not kill it. Confuse the management.

After the above has been done move to the financial side. After the sales, the financial department of an organization is most critical. These paper-pushers are always upset with their lot in life and their employer will typically personify the epitome of what has gone wrong so feed on that. plant seeds of discontent in the minds of these unstable desk jockeys. Find out where they have drinks after work, buy them a round, become friends, tell them that you’d be happy to ‘hook them up’ with a job at your company or a local competitor. The feeling that they have options will induce an artificial sense of confidence that will only last as long as their relationship with you is intact. You’re the guy that tells them how they are worth more than what they are getting, they can do better etc.

Usually, this will do the trick. Keep the above going as long as you can and it will slowly eliminate your largest competitor as a threat and you can dip in and claim your rightful position in the market place. Sometimes you’ll need to run though the above cycle a few times for optimal affect but the above process will always have an impact as long as you are in control.

I’m a fan of all things Machiavellian, the only downside, well, he’s been dead for a while so I had to settle for ‘The Prince’ in audio, video, books, mp3 and every other way I can get my political strategies kick. I found myself being drawn to type in certain keyword phrases and came across a company called Princeton Corporate Solutions, a boutique corporate and political strategies firm working globally with political crisis management and domestically on the IPO scene.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to the CEO of this company, James Scott, while I was in Midtown, Manhattan last week. I was coming out of the Yale Club and saw a group of 10 or more consultants standing next to a Lincoln Town car and inside, there he was, on the phone and puffing the infamous Baccarat Churchill, sunglasses and completely unaware of the group waiting to talk to him when he got out of the car. I heard the name Machiavelli a dozen times in less than 60 seconds and I was hooked, I had to find out who this guy was.

After a few minutes, he stepped out of the car, the first person to greet him was an NYU student who asked him to sign her thesis paper (that’s not a joke, that actually happened). He signed someone’s copy of ‘The Art of War’ and even the box of an audio version ‘The 48 Laws of Power’. All you could hear is ‘Mr. Scott, where are you staying?’ and ‘Are you going to be speaking in the city’ and so on.

He took off his sun glasses and put on his black rimmed specs and imagine my dismay when I saw he wasn’t even 40 years old, handsome, exquisitely dressed and a look that could hypnotize a cobra, I had to meet him.

If you are an economic or political strategist, unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve certainly heard of him. He’s called on by governments who need economic turnaround strategies. He’s called on by publicly traded corporations for crisis management and to give his blessing to the board on their new CEO choice or bless the CEO’s decision to make a move against another industry player. He works his magic when a pre public company needs to be globalized with strategic alliances to set a solid pathway to a fast tracked success. He can pick a board of directors for a new company going public that would bring a tear to the eye of any shareholder. His crisis management will shift the defensive position to a company’s largest competitor. He’s taken what started as hostile takeover and turned it into the most financially prosperous year his client’s corporation has ever had.

James Scott has a reputation for perpetual success and the inability to lose. He is what every CEO wishes they could be and what every board wishes they could hire. You’ve never seen focus until you watch his eyes when counseling COO on how to grow a company by 30% in a year while cutting 15% of its workforce and shutting down 11 locations by off shoring, carefully identified partners for hard-hitting global alliances and other strategies that defy logic but seem to work every time.

After about 20 minutes things calmed down and I was accompanied by a friend who is with one of the broker dealers downtown who knew him and I asked for an introduction. He was walking down to a cigar shop down the street (one of those members type places, the name escapes me) we walked with him. During the five minute walk his phone rang a number of times and in that time I heard him speak Korean, English, Spanish and Mizo (a language spoken only in one state in the northeastern section of India called Mizoram). The phone stopped ringing long enough to say hello and get a quick intro.

I shook his hand, introduced myself and asked him “What is your secret?”, he chuckled and then asked me, “What is the difference between a tactician and a strategist?” I said, “I don’t know” he responded, ‘Neither does anyone else and that’s the secret’. After that he went down the steps to the members lounge and I’ve only been reading about him ever since.

It’s funny. I thought I had it all together until I came across this man. I felt that I had general economics figured out and that I was on a fast paced road to success and I find myself pondering the reality that I’m 64 years old and I haven’t even scratched the surface.

I found some more on James Scott, CEO of Princeton Corporate Solutions , and the Princeton Youtube Site is here.

The objective of today’s CEO is survival; survival in terms of enterprise position. The CEO has to pick up the shattered remnants left behind by the lies and failures of elected officials and institutions. Today’s senior executive needs to be a congressman, judge, mayor and priest all rolled up into one. The livelihood of one’s employees/constituency depends on the expansion tactics, emotional stamina, intellectual foresight and willingness to enter into an economic cage brawl to protect the company, shareholders and employees that depend on the entity’s survival for monetary sustenance.

Surround yourself with the most proven advisers you can find as you expand and go public. Recruit guerrilla networking maniacs to set up strategic alliances to grow your company into new areas. Expand when competitors expect you to roll up and die. Keep in touch with shareholders. Communicate with newsletters, email, press release and via expert panel interviews on TV and radio.

Step up and take your position at the apex of the influence pyramid of your industry by demonstrating your expert status with podcasts, ipod and ipad information applications, webinars and a solid blog. Give the market what it wants, free information. Make ‘how to’ videos, write informative articles. Educate the public and lead them to your company for facilitation. Always promise low and deliver in a way that is beyond the expectations of the customer and shareholder.

In every environment there are leaders and followers. The leaders will each have a flock. Do your research and initiate communication with these shepherds. Show them the advantages to coming down your path and the rest will take care of itself. Win/win relationships always yield possibilities for capitalization.

Seek out board or advisory positions with inter-industry entities and set up powerful alliances where you can share the weight of publicity and merge distribution channels. Get to know your legislative representation. Find out what bills they are sponsoring and co-sponsoring and offer expert input and cooperation for legislation having to do with your industry. Once you’ve achieved a relationship or mention in a bill, publicize it. Become the face to a movement.

Lastly, do some good! Get involved at the grass roots level and change people’s lives. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, put together a company scholarship to help hardworking seniors go to college, coordinate with your employees to volunteer at nonprofit events and of course you’ll put this interaction through the regular publicity channels to set the standard for your locality as well as your industry.

People no longer believe in their congressman, senator, president or prime minister. These positions are filled by do nothing power enthusiasts. C-level executives step up and step forward. The road will be difficult and challenging to navigate but in these times we need leaders who see the bigger picture and are willing to carry the torch and lead.
