About The Author

Jim Smith is a common name. It is common enough to be on the Declaration of Independence. The name is nothing serious, except perhaps to me. What is of importance is the background, research, experience, and heart of the one who wrote each of these essays. Just so you know... and consider.

My Writing Philosophy

Objectivism is a philosophy. Perhaps the only philosophy that is based on observable and rationale facts. These essays will promote individual freedom and rights, the reality of our existence and the world and universe in which we live, limited government, and free market capitalism. The use Aristotelian logic of major premise, minor premise, and conclusion, though not usually that succinctly.

Some History

I built two homes, one in Maine, and one in NY.
I have been a pastor but was never fully comfortable with the "role" or "dogma". It just helped me recover early life trauma. Also known as "ELT" for acronym experts.
Religion helped me survive but did not free me.
I counseled families and individuals as a Hospice Spiritual Care Coordinator.
In order to learn to speak the language of business and labor, I left mysticism and went to Business School (MBA 2000) and Industrial Relations School at Cornell (MILR 2001). My goal was to become a conflict resolution expert, or at least gain a better understanding of conflict.
I am a small business expert and Organizational Development Expert.
I have to 2 adult offspring that born in 1977 and 1980.

This guy loves to "attitude adjust" the false reality that limits life by changing language and action. Try this, "Be a Jack of all trades and Master of One! At least one!"

Simple, Comprehensive, Effective.
