Staying Sweet

Capital can earn money. Capital can grow. If Capital is allowed to grow until it earns enough money, something magic can happen. People *have to* earn money. Most of us have to filter the decisions we make about how to spend our time through the question “How do I get paid?”. Capital can become the Engine for Human Creativity. At the heart of this idea is Sustainable Growth and Reinvestment. The idea that resources and activity can be like the water cycle. Being used in such a way that there is more once the creativity has been applied. That once the Capital is put to work there is a “Real Return”. After all expenses, there is something left. If that something left is regularly reinvested, and more is invested than consumed then activity can be a source for life. In “Honeyland”, the Natural Beekeeper insists on leaving half the honey for the bees. Consumption without constraint kills the source. It may make the Summer sweeter, but the Winter will get you.
