Still islander wardrobe-minded, we made the mistake

of wearing a short sleeve shirt, shorts, and sandals to a

friends hockey game at the Tulsa Ice Arena. Brrr! (did we

say boxers? WE WISH!)

Rising star Gary had no goals in the game, but he did

orchestrate a pivital assist in his teams 6-2 loss to the op-

posing team.

After the game, inspired by all the action, we made ourway to the pro shop to price equipment necessary to join

in the fun. Lets see...skates, helmet, pads over every-

Good news! Everything is going to be O.K.! was our motto as we dusted ourselves off from our awesomeadventures in our first issue of the Tulsa Wizard Periodical. Power Moves! We know Tulsa well, as only 22 years

can teach, BIT by Tulsa. as it were. (Galvestonians refer to people Born On The Island as B.O.I. So you ask some-one, How long have you been in Tulsa? and they can respond, I was Bitten. ...But we digress.)

But there is so much more to see, so much coming to be! Our adventures in Tulsa continue, and this time wefound ourselves in the heart of Brookside, Tulsas arguably most eccentric and eclectic district. It rang of Montrose,

Houston, with its cultural uniqueness and trendy, forward thinking businesses and visitors.Though a far cry from our south Tulsa adventures in Volume #1, crossing borders regularly into Jenks, Bro-

ken Arrow, and deep into Bixby, we were brought to new awareness of the many facets of the city we love. There isnew development and growth everywhere we look. Suddenly, inner-city tourism is a reality. People downtown wouldlike the open countyside, South Tulsans would love shopping on Midtowns Brookside or Utica Square, Midtown

people can escape it all byWe can boost OUR local economy by helping you stimulate YOUR economy. Recession is a poison word, and weare the antidote. How? You may ask. Good, we love inquisitive minds, it leads to renaissance. We continue to serveas a catalyst for commerce, uniting not just businesses, but the business owners with the community they share, work-

ing to create a dialogue and forum through our publication and companion web site. You dont have to love ALL of it,and if you dont like any of it, thats your perogative. Dont get caught being invested in nothing, or invested in every-thing and spread too thin. If you give the publication its full weight, seeing the opportunity and what is possible meansthat you are already where you need to be, as far as were concerned. At that point, we may inquire to and not pester

you about submitting content of your own for presentation in upcoming stand-alone Tulsa Wizard Periodicals.We plan to strengthen our staff, discovering and filling benchmark positions necessary to bring stability and

frequency of contact with you to a blinding, possibility-filled flashes of opportunities, reaching as many as we can withwhat we truly desire to bring, that of ourselves to each other. Sometimes the people that need the most help have toget clearance from the farthest away...coincidence? Dont make it so that your #2 doesnt give a number 2 about their

work. The most attractive thing in the world is a person who is connected with their passion and living it. This is whatis at the heart of the wizard... to help connect those who are inspired and to inspire those who arent connected.

There once was a little boy whohad a bad temper. His Father gave him abag of nails and told him that every time helost his temper, he must hammer a nail intothe back of the fence.

The rst day the boy had driven37 nails into the fence. Over the next fewweeks, as he learned to control his anger,the number of nails hammered daily gradu-ally dwindled down. He discovered it was

easier to hold his temper than to drive thosenails into the fence. Finally the day camewhen the boy didnt lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and thefather suggested that the boy now pull outone nail for each day that he was able tohold his temper.

The days passed and the youngboy was nally able to tell his father that all

the nails were gone.The father took his son by the

hand and led him to the fence. He said,You have done well, my son, but look atthe holes in the fence. The fence will neverbe the same. When you say things in anger,

they leave a scar just like this one. You canput a knife in a man and draw it out. But Itwont matter how many times you say Imsorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal

wound is as bad as a physical one.Remember that friends are very

rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile

and encourage you to succeed. They lendan ear, they share words of praise and theyalways want to open their hearts to us.

Show your friends how much youcare. Please forgive me if I have ever left ahole in your fence.

Journey to Conscious Capitalismby Michael See

Life is funny. We are all so

nnected from who and what we

nd for what Because if we dont

+B+C we wont have D and

appiness. Right? Well, maybe

but theres a funny thing that

ens when people are afraid,dump their selves and their

because What if I lose my

opportunity to be happy? By

not doing all the bull$#it that Ive

been sold? No sister, youjust got

sold. Welcome to the Matrix.

Well ok, but how do we get

out of this mess. Well you might

think we could think our way out,

but we cant. In the end the only dooris through the heart. But what if we

could use the matrix to connect us

with our hearts and empower us to

be all that we are? What if we could

understand with our minds how

miracles can happen, instant healing,

life, etc and not only understand

it, use this understanding to create

powerful experiences to help us

remember who we are and live it.This is my journey

to conscious capitalism In

subsequent issues I will outline my

own personal journey to freedom

in hopes of connecting with others

on the path and show that the

only reason things are the way

they are is because we have agreed

to it, but now is the time to ask

ourselves. Who am I? , What do Ireally want?, and most importantly,

What is my irreplaceable role in the

tapestry that is our world?

got an invite recently to a Tulsa Young

essionals group event, where 7 of the 9

council representatives were there live

in the esh to answer questions and

ideas about their citys development.

It doesnt get much more

exciting than that, does it?(www.typros.com). It will

be a chore, and our hearts

have to be in it, but the

rewards for active participation are great. There are

empty seats right now where its at. Stand and be

counted, and make a difference in your world!

The Future of Tulsa

Ive got good news and bad news. The badnews is that 80 percent of new businessesfail within their rst year of operation and 95

percent will fail in less than ve years. Withthe odds of failing far worse than succeedingwhy would anyone want to risk their time andmoney on a losing proposition? Putting yourmoney in a money-market account wouldoffer far less risk. Putting your time into asecure corporate job would be safer. Thegood news is that 90 percent of all businessfailures are due to poor managementdecisions. Why is this good news?Because understanding the causes of pastentrepreneurial failures could improve theodds of future entrepreneurial successes.

According to an article in MIT Sloan ManagementReview (which investigated the primary failureagents of new ventures), the most common reasonnew businesses fail is management incompetence.Rookie business owners lack the know-how to runthe enterprise. They make fatal mistakes that anexperienced, trained entrepreneur would easilyavoid.The second most common reason is unbalancedmanagement experience. Entrepreneurs assumethat their past experience as an engineer,team leader or department head is sufcient toensure business success. However, their lack ofexperience in other major activities of the business

(nance, purchasing, selling and production)

causes the gradual failure of the enterprise.The third most common reason is a lack ofmanagerial experience. The owners lack the

training and the knowledge to effectively managepeople.

The fourth most common reason is lack of market-specic experience. This occurs when ownersenter a business eld in which they have limitedknowledge.

Two other common reasons for failure are neglectand fraud. Neglect involves owners risking failureby not devoting sufcient attention to the ventureOften, a less competent person is put in charge ofthe business so the owner can get time off to do otherthings, and the business gradually fails because

the interim manager is not capable. Fraud involvesthe intentional deception or misrepresentation tosuppliers, customers, nanciers or other owners. Itmay involve embezzlement of company funds.

The above agents of failure are general in natureTo be more specic, here are some commonentrepreneurial failure traps.

Inadequate records.Expansion beyond resources.Lack of information about customers.One-person management.Legal problems

By paying attention to these causes of failureand making plans to avoid them, you will greatlyensure the success odds for your business.

n you hear gloom and doomywhere and substances as theroute open for escape, itsnot to follow suit. The secrett life is an ongoing game.ot about whether you getstay poor, or just do what youo make a comfortable livingtween the two. Its about

general relativity and sharedual connection with the otherrs in this realm on Mother

Earths turf. Whatever your re-ligion or even if you have none,we can all agree that all livingthings have free wills for a reason.Choice is the key to solving any

problem that faces us no mat-ter how large in scale. Just livefreely, respectfully, and be trueto who you are. Keep your eyes

open, listen closely, and searchfor the truth behind anything yound each and every step of the

way. Dont allow your brain tobecome stale. No matter yourage, the mind is always a sponge.Absorb all the knowledge youcan. Pound it through your thickskull if you need to. The goal ofthose who caused the crisis is tokeep the masses ignorant and apa-thetic to whats going on. If were

bombarded with enough tragicevents, then well roll over like

pets when they suggest new rules

which we must live by to continueplaying. Whos a good doggy? Goget it. Roll over. Play dead. Nothank you. Let us live, play, create,dream, learn, love, and sleep with

peace of mind that the next daywill be as lively as the previous.As long as we keep ourselves readyand in the know, then we will re-

crewed up the quote that would

ne his legacy. (Editors Note: It

hout the course of human history,

mark not only on our moon but in

arts and imaginations of the hun-

of millions who witnessed it on

ion, and those like me who would

of it secondhand many years later.

ertainly appreciate the worldwide

oneness that occurred in the days of the

Apollo XI mission. A singular, massive

act of peace that grabbed the attention of

every subset of the human race and for

a while erased all of our dividing lines.

I can only imagine what that must have

felt like. For me, it was the enormity of

it that affected me at the deepest level.I remember ying a kite as a kid.

I watched that red plastic diamond al-

most as big as I was, shrinking smaller

and smaller into the sky as I unrolled

the string. The smaller the kite got, the

more the reality of how small I was sank

in until nally I was immobilized with

fear.

That kite was no more than a

few hundred feet above me, and when

I learned that 3 brave men in a small

steel vessel launched themselves atop a

reball to a location more than 4 million

times higher in the sky than that kite,

well, I still cant really wrap my head

around it.

It took thousands of calculatingminds, millions of independent parts and

3 fearless astronauts working in unison

against billions of variables to achieve

the seemingly impossible and forever

expand the scope in which our species

is viewed. There is something within

our DNA that drives us to expand our

horizons, to master new environments,

to gure out how to survive in places

where we are inherently incapable o

doing so and we humans are mind

blowingly good at it. Remember thi

The universe is innitely large. We hu

done. And when you do accomplis

Taste of Events in Taste of BixbyWe had just worked out the possibili-ties for a promotion for Its Greek To

Me at their newest location next to

the Spirit Bank Event Center in south

Tulsa.

We were made aware of an event tak-

ing place at the event center that very

night. We did what we do, and went to

the car, donned our press pass, pock-

eted our digital camera, and loaded

up on Tulsa Wizards. What event was

going on in there? The people had

a right to know! we argued to our-

selves...but where was our crew at?Dollie and Jessica helped redirect us

back in after initial deection, and we

were in. Awesome!

The Chamber of Commerce of Bixby

had outdone themselves, organizing

and rallying artists, photographers,

craftspeople, restauranteurs, winery

reps, and more, working to serve

samples and wares to event attendees!

What events are going on near you? Be

there or be square! Where? We can help

you get there, but you must be aware.
