Coud the position you play in a game be more important than experience? More important than skill?

What do you think?

How about in business? How important is your position? Is it the most important thing? Or no?

There’s where your business is located. You sell ice cream. Your stand is near the restrooms and the children’s play area. Good for you.

There’s how you position your business in the minds of your customers. Are you #1? Or are you like Hertz who ran campaigns stating, “We’re #2. So we try harder.”?

How about where you put your products on the shelves? Does it matter? Yes the most heated space at the supermarket is for the mid-section of the aisle where the food is stocked because that is where people habitually look as they walk the aisle.

Now let’s talk about people.

The position some people are in is an envious one, no? Yes, but have you ever considered the regular Joe or Jan and their ability to subvert their jobs proper for something else? Some other opportunity? Maybe parlay what they have access to in some way?

I knew a receptionist who would take messages from people calling in on ads that the company ran. She discreetly gave the majority of them to the guys she was sleeping with in the office. Their sales were better.

And who could be in a better position than police to steal? Holy moly! Well, that’s obvious now, isn’t it? Although they woulld argue it wasn’t easy getting to this point. You have to get a lot of people our of the way. But think about it–they can botch an investigation when it looks like they are responsible. They can access your personal data or follow you home discreetly. They know when you come and go. And I’ve even heard rumor of them breaking into homes through a bedroom window just like any other thug.

That shouldn’t surprise us as there’s plenty of video of them shooting people and killing them on video when they didn’t realize that the neighbor’s home across the street has a tiny little camera in his mailbox on his porch which filed the whole thing.

Are you getting it?

In warfare, you usually want the higher ground. That makes your enemies fight an “uphill battle” which takes  more effort. You have gravity on your side.

In a street fight if you can finagle it, you want the sun on your back which puts it in your opponent’s eyes making it harder for him to strike accurately.

Now for the final bit.

I noticed a while ago that the value of a position can change based upon new information or logistics or just random dumb luck.

And this is important. Because we could all find ourselves in a critical position and have to do something about it.

Pastors, who are in their respective places until My arrival, did not sound an alarm or tell the congregation that I was here. But because many of them knew of it whereas the congregation did not, they were in a critical position to start a “save our Savior” campaign. 

For those of you unfamiliar, I deduced taht it was a #ComplimentME . It was poetry. Christ Jesus (the Buddha to be honest) has saved the majority of the lives you see walking the Earth today. And there was beauty and poetry in a peopole galvanized to show apreciation by getting Christ Titus (who also shows up to save them) out of His illegal detainment and abuse on the sidewalk.

If you freed Him, might you learn something about saving yourself? Could 200M American Christians get one Man free of the fBI? Of course they can. I didn’t need numbers anywhere near that large. Just 50k letters all mailed on the same day to the Los Angeles FBI would’ve probably done it.

Without the campaign there is no show on Good Morning America about it. That’s unfortunate because that show is positioned to reach certain audiences at a certain time.

If you find yourself standing next to the President of the United States and a bullet is flying in his direction, did you know that you are expected to be his bodyguard and take the bullet for him? It doesn’t matter that you’re not secret service. It matters that you are standing close to him and able to do something. It’s your position that’s obligating you whether you like it or not.

Ok, I think you’ve go tthe ghist of it. One “technique” I would perform if I were a compnay owner or manager is to look at what employees get access to as a part of their job. Not what they do, but what they get access to as a part of the job.

It’s there you will find the opportunity to repurpose equipment or intellectual property or leads or office supplies in a way that was not originally intended.
