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.

When I go to political functions or functions that claim to have the who’s who in attendance I find it fascinating to stand back and watch people interact. Politicians and power CEOs always stick to surface conversations, upstarts converse while looking over the shoulder of their conversation partner waiting for the opportunity to dump them and move onto someone with more influence. I could watch this interaction for ours and speculate with friends where we believe the targets of our conversation to be in their professional and pedigree evolution.

One thing that these people don’t realize is that those to which they’ve chosen to kneel down and bask beneath glorious rays of influence are typically just pawns with prestigious public labels being controlled by other supremacies. Here are the facts. Upstarts and wannabes will pick the face to an organization (political or corporate) for their association to grow their career and raise their social circle pedigree but the truth is, behind this puppets are those who whisper in the ear, spin webs of control, and sway with their money and ‘real power’.

I have yet to find a true puppet master comfortable to be in the public eye. It is easier to step back and dictate the moves of pawns streamlined by the upstart’s natural instinct to voluntarily be controlled by their betters. Most people, when it comes down to it, are content with the illusion of influence as long as they are the center of the public’s idea of power.

Case study: When I have a client in the process of globalization it is important to get them built into legislation that is being put up for vote. Whether it’s the USA or Europe, I never communicate with the politician directly, that’s a waste of time, instead I go to his handlers. When I say handlers I don’t mean his campaign manager, assistant or any of the traditional ‘blockers’. I go where the money is, because once you find out who funds his campaign with capital and votes, everything is easy from there. Congressmen, Senators, Governors and Mayors of large cities are placed in this position to be a talking head, a willing hand puppet to special interest groups that will flip the bill for the campaign and make sure that the votes are in place to be re-elected, as long as the political figure continue to play ball and stick to the agenda.

To the uninformed and uninitiated, the apex to the pyramid of power is usually represented by the localized face to a political organization (Republican, Democrat etc) but here are three powers that influence everything this individual does. Power is dictated by moneymen, lobbyists and special interest groups. If you have money to donate the most it can get you is a favor or a letter for your kid to get into private school, but the power, the absolute power in politics is social influence and the ability to bring with you, an ocean of voters, turn-key and ready to go. Try to find one conservative republican politician in the south that isn’t backed by the Southern Baptist Convention or Christian Coalition.

The capacity to provide votes and a ’cause’ type following can also be applied to the business world. When we set up strategic alliances, recruit board members or CEOs the main criteria at the end of the day is money and votes defined as: capital raise for previous organizations and the increase of revenues during their time with their previous company. As for ‘votes’, in the corporate world that would be termed ‘alliances’, support that will be turnkey for my client if we take this executive, board member or alliance on. What does their direct contact portfolio look like? Who will they bring through the door that will offer an instant benefit for my client’s company?

Money + alliances = Power. If you are trying to establish yourself as a power broker in the political or corporate realm you don’t need to actually have the money, just access to it. Access can be defined as direct parlay to those who cut the checks and the influence to get them to move when the time is right. Influence, alliances, voters are easy for those who are natural networks. Talk little, do more. Have a plan as to what you are trying to do. Decide what you are trying to influence and build your network from there.

Don’t start from scratch trying to put together a group of followers, instead, lobby the individual organization management or figureheads. Start brokering power among these groups, make introductions but always leave just enough out so that they need to call you when they need something. From here you should be able to build a solid power base of influence.

Don’t come across as too eager. Instead, get to know these individuals in a calm, easy manner, research them before you initiate contact and even your first contact can’t seem intentional (you may want to ‘run into them’ at you’re local tennis club or golf club and strike up some conversation etc.). Then during conversation make a mental note of the topics and their ‘needs’ and from their needs you’ll know how to refer and network them. Ask nothing in return, ever! Instead, the contact and affiliation is all you are trying to accomplish here. Building your organization of influence in this way will rapidly get you where you want to be without the learning curve of catering to the wrong people.

As a journalist I find myself ghost writing books for self absorbed executives and politicians and never able to take credit for it. I usually get a call from the executive’s publicist and they want me to write a bunch of garbage about his soft side, his humanitarian side or his golf swing. The article is written, published, the clients happy and I feel like a sell out with no journalistic integrity because in this industry, to pay the bills means to compromise and do things you don’t like. This interview was different, completely different.

I met James Scott at Earl’s, a fine dining establishment for Bucks County’s upper crust. The waitress was a snob, I was invisible to the bartender and the experience of waiting for him to arrive was a pride swallowing nightmare that is difficult to put into words then James walks in, polished, confident and ready to get down to business. “Why is my friend still standing” he snapped at the waitress walking by, “I’ll be with you in a…” before she could finish, he interrupted, “we’ll find our own seat, you’ll find us and bring us menus, Steve follow me”. We grabbed a table and to him, this was normal. “If you wait once you’ll spend your life waiting. So what can I do for you?”

I was expecting someone older, in their 50′s or 60′s, he was in his 30′s with a chip on his shoulder to act as warning to any opposition, anytime, anyplace that you may start an argument or debate, he’ll finish it. I became drawn in immediately. He received a call as we sat down from a congressman in the north east and spoke with such confidence, eloquence and authority I felt as though I was sitting in front of an 80 year old statesman that’s been born and bred into the political strategies game.

When he hung up my first question was “Where do you get your confidence to talk to power players with such comfort and ease?” He looked up at me with a glare that was focused and made me feel he was looking into me as opposed to at me and replied, “I think confidence is all relative to what you know and what you know you know” with a grin, he crossed his legs, ran both hands over his slacks and continued, “I made it a habit early on to say as little as possible so that when I was ready to talk I had the attention of the entire room. I made sure that I studied the attendees and read through the body language and speech patterns of everyone there to find the leaders, followers, supporters and skeptics and after collecting all this information I could determine who I needed to address in the room. After 12 years of studying body language and voice patterns it becomes a process of analyzing the situation at hand and responding with an objective strategy that can be applied to the situation. I gained confidence from the successes of using this process time and time again.”

“How do you define this unique area of consulting that you specialize in? There are only 3 or 4 other consultants globally that have the contacts to both economic power players and political lobbyists and special interest groups. How do you keep everyone happy in such a stressful environment where crisis management is typically the job you’re being hired for?”

The waitress arrived at the table, it was 10:35am, some people were still having breakfast, I ordered a coffee, he ordered a vodka tonic, double Belvedere with extra lime as if drinking in the morning was normal behavior. He answered “My core consulting genre is strategic facilitation. I started with public and pre public corporations by setting them up properly to go public, then my firm would take them public, put together a post public investor relations process to grow their marketability to investors and then help them expedite their growth with acquisitions and merger identification and facilitation.” He continued, “I began getting involved on the political side as I would be contacted by a lobbyist group that was working with a congressman or senator who had issues they were trying to sort out and there was no one to call so they would typically get referred to me from a board member of a company I structured and they would say something like, ‘our candidate is having a similar issues that the CEO of ABC Inc was having and we wanted to see if you could come on board to help us work it out . . .’ and that’s how I started getting involved on the political side. Politics just like general corporate and economic strategies have many similar threads. I just try to use the experience from one project for the next and so on. I guess more than anything now I’m a fixer but I’m working more with lobbyists and special interest groups.”

I asked him what prompted the change from focusing on corporate strategies to lobby and special interest, “Well, at the end of the day politicians are the visual identification for an agenda. The agenda is typically started by demands from the localized constituency. Lobbyist and special interest groups spend millions of dollars researching statistics and geographic layouts to find the areas of the country/world that their prototypical support base resides. The next move is to identify the political power-base in that region and initiate support planning. If the political figures are open the next thing is localized job creation and general economics. The convergence of the two in a way that is conducive to instantaneous capitalization and results is where I come in. I work with lobby firms because that is where the real power is, not the actual politician.”

Again, every word was pronounced perfectly, his vocabulary was authoritative, his eyes didn’t blink, his posture was perfect and I have to admit, I couldn’t find a single chink in his armor. There wasn’t an ounce of pretentious or insecure put-downs or belittling of anyone and in talking to him I felt myself gaining more and more respect and admiration for him.

This 30 something ‘kid’ has more global political pull than even the most seasoned politician yet he was comfortable in his skin and completely calm. His breathing was paced and as I looked for the prototypical nervous habits such as a bouncing foot on the floor, sweaty brow, nail biting etc, none were present. He was, in every sense of the term a W.A.S.P without a single trace of insecurity. I was in awe and when I think about it now I believe I took something away with me that day. I’m 54 years old and I have to admit, I look up to him. That may sound strange and it’s even stranger to admit this after I’ve been writing on economics for 25 years.

As we wrapped up the meeting (he only set 20 minutes aside for me and time flew by) his next meeting rolled in. A Chinese oil company needing his strategies to help them out of some issues in Africa. “have a seat gentlemen” he said “I’m going to walk my friend out and will be back in a moment.” He walked me out and we shook hands and he said, “I know you’re a journalist and you’ll want to ask me how I want to be portrayed in the article and I would say this, just go with your gut. I have nothing to hide and my reputation is more about what I am able to accomplish for my clients as opposed to what potential clients read about me. Just write for your readers and it will be fine.” He put his left hand on my shoulder while his right hand stopped shaking my hand and just held it for a moment and then he walked away.

That’s it. That was my interview with James Scott, CEO of the almighty Princeton Corporate Solutions. We didn’t get into the juicy family topic because he wouldn’t mix work and family, we didn’t cover any controversy that surrounds him because there is none, there are no legitimacy issues with him as his cell phone has the world’s most influential professionals and political organizations on first name speed dial.

What I took away from this interview is one thing. The economy is in shambles our government is a disaster but there is a part of me that feels safe and secure knowing that James Scott is involved in the process. We need people like him to help the power structure keep order and to make the moves by these groups solid, strategic and strong enough to help us rebound the devastation we are now experiencing. We need leaders who were born to lead to take us as a people by the hand and tell us that it’s going to be OK and to just focus on our jobs and family, there are qualified people working in the shadows that don’t need nor want special recognition or their names in lights. James Scott is the silent leader that enables crumbling economies to rise again and hopeless corporate organizations to thrive. Keep an eye out for him; chances are he’s turning around a company or an economy near you.

Today, companies are truly moving forward or crumbling, there is no in between. I hate clichs but this is reality. By now, unless you’ve been living in a cave you’re highly familiar with the successes, failures and genius of global securities guru Warren Buffet and monopoly mastermind Bill Gates. They’ve changed the face of business and all who come to the scene now seem to be some morphed hybrid of the two as neo consultants and corporate strategists draw their inspiration from all or a portion of ideologies and processes originated from these two men.

They’ve introduced a side to acquisitions, mergers, globalization and monopolizing markets that university business professors and modern day corporate leaders were blind to but now a sub industry has been introduced based on the theories and concepts of these entrepreneurs. As a freelanced writer and ghost writer for blogs, journals, newspapers and other medias I spend my life researching the ‘next great thing’ and in this case of spend years researching the next international economic trend setter, rule breaker and the one individual that will do the impossible, merge economics with politics in a socially positive and economically responsible approach.

We all know that money is the driving force behind politics but no one has been able to blatantly stand in front of a room of American and European economists and trend setters and actually prove the ability to formulate real, publicity friendly strategies for actual domestic and global alliances between major economic powerhouses and international political figureheads, lobbyists and special interest groups. But last week my search ended when I was having drinks and a small out of the way hotel in the Washington DC suburbs of Alexandria, VA.

Let me walk you through my experience. I was meeting a lobbyist for Israeli affairs to get some insider information and quotes for an article I’m writing on the Palestinian/Israel conflict and my source agreed to meet me for a few minutes before another meeting he seemed to be pretty excited about. We sat down and the first thing that took me back was this gentleman, an extremely renown strategist for all things ‘lobby’ as he’s called on specifically when governments or other lobbyists are in crisis management mode. As we were sitting down he said, ‘Here you sit there and I’ll sit here, I don’t want to be late for this meeting as it will dictate my firms survival in the near future’ as he said this he seemed nervous. We sat down at two armchairs in the lobby so that we could talk and view the guests for this insider’s meeting as they came in.

As it got closer to 9pm (the time the meeting was to start) I witnessed some of the most influential senators, congressmen, ex-presidents and prime ministers and other major lobby group senior partners, not to mention CEO’s and CFO’s that I’ve only seen on TV and read about in Fortune and other business journals that have turned down my work in the past (I’m not bitter…ok maybe I am). At this point I knew something was up so I asked my source if I could join him and I’d do the note taking so all he had to do was sit and listen as none of his staff was with him to take up this task, he agreed.

As the meeting was ready to start I found myself in a room with 50 of the most prestigious names in politics and some of the most pedigreed men in business (strangely there wasn’t a single female in the room which I didn’t realize until I looked over my attendance notes before writing this freelance entry). The room was nothing but an ocean of whispers and head nod greetings and I truly felt as though I had stumbled upon some Bilderberg sub-group or illuminati think tank meeting. Above the whispers I kept hearing one word ‘Machiavelli’ but there was no tongue and cheap grin after the name, these men were using this name with curiosity and absolute awe.

The meeting was called to order just like a traditional board meeting and the ‘speaker’ was introduced, James Scott from Princeton Corporate Solutions. I heard of the company but never the name of the individual. As he was introduced everyone sat up straight then leaned in to hear what this guy had to say with the focus you would if you believed you had the winning lottery ticket at the number announcement.

James came from the back of the room to the front. He stood there in front of a room of political and corporate masters and I could see the reality and truth in everything that I’ve ever heard about an invisible puppet master behind every face of a political, Fortune 100 CEO/Board and special interest group. As I’m looking at him I’m looking at the men in the room and feel myself getting whiplash as I’m trying to put the pieces together. Turns out James Scott has been the strategies consultant to some of the biggest moves in recent global economic and socio-political history. He’s assisted these men with getting elected to their positions via multiple indirect ‘cat’s paw’ consultants and this was actually the first time many of these gentlemen have actually met him though he’s created and perpetuated their careers.

As he spoke you could hear a pin drop in the room. This 30-something strategist could pierce the Berlin wall with the focus in his eyes. His voice spoke with the authority of a demigod with a hundred lifetimes of strategies experience with zero indicators of second guessing or insecurity in his voice. His posture was Napoleonic and each time he would mention one of the attendees by name they would crumble and blush like the child of a father praising them for a job well done.

As I began to recuperate from this mind warp I felt a nudge from the lobbyist I was accompanying and he motioned a pen to pad gesture which indicated that I was to get down to taking notes. The meeting came down to introducing economic and influential political contacts to one another as both sides were delegated a particular task. This was the first time that I’ve ever witnessed someone of influence offering a strategically entwined relationship between business and the legislators who directly influence the outcome of business decisions and vice versa in a way that wasn’t damaging, lopsided or with a critical ulterior motive that would injure one side while serving the other.

Here is what I took away from the meeting in short, as I’m trying to condense a 5 hour meeting into a few paragraphs, basically impossible but let me try though the attempt to assimilate this information in a way that is conducive to getting my point across which may be fatal from the onset but I’ll give it a shot.

The approach by James Scott was entirely Machiavellian in nature with the realities that in order to serve the greater good, some contributors fall to the wayside while others are part of the future picture and overall stratagem. Some of the people in the room were tacticians while others were affiliated because they were strategists. The difference between the two in this case were the tacticians were those in the scholastic/analytical field of a lifetime of memorization of previous policy contributors while the strategists were the facilitators of those formulaic tactics by adapting policy and scholastics to the real world environment and current events.

Corporations create the jobs that fuel the local economies which collectively can turn around a domestic economy. Politicians are assisted by lobby organizations and special interest groups in gaining a platform which brings with it the followers that will vote to keep them in office to perform the tasks that will assist in the greater good and put into action the ideas and concepts of the lobbyists as the lobbyists are the ultimate voice of the people. This circle of influence is what fuels economic prosperity and lack of communication between these groups can deteriorate an economy (basically what we are seeing now). The path has been deviated one too many times and the convergence of policy makers and facilitators has been derailed and we find ourselves in international chaos at every front.

This meeting cracked through, captured and set a road map for economic recovery by taking into consideration all the elements and parties as pertaining to this recuperation equation. The incestuous necessity of voter spearheads, legislatures and corporations is a mandatory prerequisite to a growing and stable socio-economic formula that will rebound and flourish. I must admit, the above is a pathetic Cliff Notes version of the meeting and it would take multiple encyclopedia size entries to even attempt, though most likely fatal, to give the reader a modest breakdown of the influential decisions that were made in that room and the positive path we set for real, long-lasting recovery.

As I left the meeting there was a sense of overall ease and a refreshed outlook on the future and for the first time in a long time I actually felt good about the outlook of this country, the west and the global strategies in motion and being configured to make this world a better place for all of us and all this rooted in the strategies formulated by a guy you’ve never heard of and a company you probably couldn’t hire even if you wanted to. It’s a strange world we live in but thanks to leaders such as James Scott (I’m currently researching him and will post more entries about him and his background as new information is made public) who would rather focus on a positive influence then standing in front of cameras as self promoters we will evolve out of this diseased global situation and into one that flourishes for all of us.

If you’re a board member, CEO, COO or CFO in an industry that is as cut throat as pharma, biotech, technology, software etc industries you most likely have hired a strategies consultant to step in to help you gain a much needed edge over your competitors.

One of the first things you’ll realize is that winning is only a temporary byproduct of victory over a certain angle and it is only a matter of time until that competitor is back again, bigger and stronger than ever and once again posing a major threat to your organization as you must fight to keep your economic position in your niche marketplace.

The key element is to annihilate the opponent. But you cannot do this directly. One way to obliterate a competitor to the point of no return is to feed their smaller, more aggressive competitors with devastating information that you’ve dug up on the ‘target’ that will damage them in a way that offers no rebound potential.

Find information about the CEO, CFO, COO, board members, advisory board members, product or services weakness, angry customers (give them a public platform to voice their anger) make step in, be invisible, and use your social media agent to make these guys rock stars.

When the press is taking a crippling affect on your competitor you should be evaluating their share price, buy some and dump it and continue to do this ongoing with any major competitor (check with your attorney to find out about any legal issues you should be aware of first). If a mugger is coming at you with a knife you don’t want to kick him in the shin, you want to grab a steel pipe and smack him over the skull until his laying on the ground and you can remove the weapon from his hand, a chump laying on the ground unconscious without a weapon ceases to be a threat. Business is no different.

So many times corporations look outside of their company to grow by way of mergers, acquisitions, licensing etc. Most companies lack the discipline to look inward and examine the elements inside the existing company to synergize and expand. Here is what I mean. Let’s say that you’re large landscaping company and you offer three services under this landscaping umbrella consisting of: hard-scape, lawn mowing and landscape architecture.

Now, most likely your promotions will place the general corporate image which would be ‘landscape services’ at the top of your promotional material as your efforts are to use direct mailers and yard signs to promote this service and as people call they will be introduced to your other solutions but try this.

Step one: take each of these services and treat them as standalone subsidiary entities each with their own targeted demographics promotion, tagline, logo, phone number etc. Brand each company like a stand alone and use your parent company name and logo as a stamp on each promotion and logo.

Step two: when promoting with your own phone number, ads and yard signs, imagine all of the responses coming in like a funnel. A targeted approach will strengthen the sale and speed up the selling process and then you can offer your other services individualized by their own logo but unified with the parent company stamp of approval. Target your market first, sell quickly, offer up sells to your other services.

Step three: ongoing treat each subsidiary as its own business entity. When you buy an ad for one, negotiate a deal to get the other companies in under that umbrella. Have them visually close to each other and you’ll find that will different phone numbers and logos many times people will end up calling all three subsidiaries for services, that give you three times to sell them and to get your sales staff out for an estimate. This is a powerful technique that can ad rocket fuel to your expansion efforts. Many times is most affective when you look inward not out!

When the principles of a company make the decision to go public there are many things to take into consideration. First and foremost, trying to wade through the pariah infested waters of the OTCBB, Investor Relations and strategic growth strategies on your own is a guaranteed suicide mission and you’ll fail. Find a consultant who understands your business and has the contacts to create a turnkey solution to take you from public to private and all the other necessities you’re company is going to need to make it.

As part of your consultant pre qualifications here are the niches you’re the consultant absolutely must be well versed in order for your company to succeed with the public offering and a solid trading volume post public. Better yet, here is what you’re going to need so you can measure your questions against this list when qualifying the consultants to see who is the best fit.

First you’re company will need structuring. What I mean by structuring is that you’ll need to put a sturdy skeletal structure together to carry around your corporate bag of bones, an iron clad skeletal structure would consist of: board of directors with esteemed educational and professional pedigrees and proven track records for assisting companies in your particular genre with getting to the next level from the level your company is currently at pre public. You also need powerful strategic alliances that will increase your name recognition and overall market awareness by affiliations with inter-industry powerhouses. Use strategic partners for promotion, expansion, resellers, referrals, service and product brokering, name recognition, and more.

Talk to your accountant about your corporate structure. Delaware C corporations are a sturdy home state for public companies as the states statutes go back to the original 13 colonies and offer optimal protection and case law to support a growing public company. Some oversees companies prefer Nevada for their quick fix to the foreign owned company problem but ask your accountant and attorney to give you the pros and cons. Statutory domicile will be the advantage to the home of your corporation but if you are operating in another state you’ll still need to file locally while the state of incorporation can offer legislative support from previous case law history. Don’t believe that you won’t have to pay taxes if you incorporate in Nevada, this simply isn’t the case. Read up on this and then get the real deal from your attorney.

Every public company needs solid CEO, CFO, COO, Board of directors, Board of Advisors, Strategic Partnerships to start off. Now, when you have the above you need to start working on monetize-able purchase orders and offering net terms to your clients, in other words start building your book of business aggressively by offering credit terms. This will make you a stronger company and when investors see your mountain of purchase orders they’ll be impressed and will be more apt to invest. General signed contracts will typically have too many contingencies to have an impact as contracts are not very enforceable whereas purchase orders are like currency and can be monetized if your company finds itself in a crunch. This shows investors that you’re prepared for the ups and downs ahead.

Now after you’ve gone through the s1 comments with the SEC and the 15c211 has been filed by a market maker with FINRA, let’s assume you have your trading symbol and you’re ready to start selling shares. You are going to need a powerful, expensive, rock solid investor relations and market build strategy. Don’t use a pump and dump house as if you do so you will never recuperate. Instead your IR strategy should include: phone room support for announcing your company to industry insiders to create awareness (not selling stock), solid, opt-in email alerts to seasoned, accredited investors looking for stock in your industry, press releases should go out to announce everything from a new executive hire to an new contract to a new strategic partner and anything else that will give you a reason to notify the public on your company’s growth. Expert panel reviews for your C level executives to talk about the industry as an expert insider promote the company to the masses where they will get to see first hand the massive knowledge you possess about your industry which may prompt listeners to investigate your stock for a potential purchase. Don’t forget about viral publicity through high pr video, social bookmarks, blog entry, articles and the prototypical twitter, facebook, myspace and Linkedin properties.

Going public should be part of an overall strategy for expansion as opposed to having a go to just ‘go public’ to raise money.

For decades economic realities have been placed under a black veil of secrecy with its truths and lies known only to the institutional banking elite and we the public just stand like an ocean of monkeys. The system was never exposed, insiders never spoke out.

Yes, this industry has been nothing but lies and chaos, that is, until about 8 years ago. A small consulting firm called Princeton Corporate Solutions began to take this insider knowledge and make it available through very public articles and blogs. The blog on their website is one of the premier global economics and IPO blog stops on every economist’s pilgrimage to seeking and using investment banking, global commerce and IPO knowledge written by the hands of the masters.

The PCS blog does something that no other financial blog in the world does, they take away the technical jargon and in plain English, patiently and painstakingly take the reader by the hand and show them how something like having a personal bank account with a top tier institutional lender can be adding debt to your children’s tax liability 20 years from now.

They talk about the ‘unspoken’ truths of how if a country wants to hurt another country that is not cooperating with insiders, then the insiders want to impose economic sanctions on these decanters and inflict pain by damaging trade relations, threatening IMF intervention or liquidating currency holding to further damage the company who’s not playing by the rules of the establishment. Taking the military into a country is more for statement than anything as economic sanctions are the most powerful tool of war without lifting a single gun and the goal is to get the citizens of the country fed up and wound up so that they force internal changes within their borders to get those sanctions lifted but this rarely happens. The economy will eventually weaken and big business will step in with fists full of Uncle Sam’s money and start introducing the locals to the finer things in life, the luxuries that they could have but their president doesn’t want them to have them etc.

The exposing of how institutional insiders and politicians toy with the system is now termed ‘The Princeton Affect’ named after Princeton Corporate Solutions. “I think it’s a Wall Street Thing” says James Scott, CEO of PCS, “I just got so sick of hearing the lies on TV and having all the zombies at home watching and believing all this garbage. All we are trying to do is help the little guy understand what he is truly up against when trying to run the company in this economy.”

Global economics affects everyone with a pulse on the planet yet so few people understand it, ‘The Princeton Affect’ is the crystallization and simplifying technical economic issues in a way for the common man to increase knowledge and understanding on how to best protect oneself and grow during this difficult time as a business owner or C level executive.
