Crestcom Cult

If all these "positive thinking" guys had any grounding in reality they might have told me the truth about this rip-off of a franchise. Instead they filled their heads with "If I say it and beleive it will come to pass." They are in reality either liars or are delusional. The worst bunch of dream pirates I could have ever gotten to know. Scum of the earth. They are the kind that are dangerous because they hide beneath a mask of fake faith.

Underemployed

I see that our economy has created a new class - underemployed. Us baby boomers are now working for the same wages we made in the late 70's early 80's. The service economy will not produce good paying jobs. I had to move from PA to TX just to find work. I may have to move to India or some other country just to survive.
It doesn't help when you get ripped off either. If we can only survive by ripping off others like TES, Crestcom, Madoff, Worldcom, Tyco, Enron etc. Then we deserve to go under.

We can see clearly now.

If you go back to the first posts on this blog you will see I was on the first wave of this current recession and job loss. Everything I was posting in 2006 sounds prophetic now.

Putting it all behind?

It was four years ago when this Crestcom business was new and I was just getting started. I was scarred sure, but I was confident in "the system." I also had a lot of faith. I knew it would be an adventure for sure. Oh, how I long sometimes to savor that moment. Knowing your embarking on your dream, your own leadership and management training business. I was going enhance others lives and make a difference. Living my dream was happening. I was finally going to fill my true potential. Well the dream stealers where right around the corner. I don't know if I can put it behind me yet. Now my faith in just about everything is shaken to the core. If I can't get past this I'll die broken.

Crestcom and TES, beware of these two.

"When you're holding hope in one hand and hype in the other, it's very easy for someone to pick your pocket." author unknown

Thats what Crestcom and TES did to me.
