Will You Have A Vintage Future?

Thanks to a great work-mate from my very recent past (James Keegan) and his band Planet4's awesome music video, I am spending time between markets thinking about the value of a vintage future.

So what do you define as a vintage future? If you like the video and you get the meaning, that could be it, or you may formulate your own.
This is how I hope to define mine: I pray that the hopes, dreams, and lessons from my past will take a glorious place in my future. There are many things that shape our lives such as our parents, friends, school, children, adults, habits, passions, money or the lack there of, community, giving, getting, taking, love, hate, rich experiences, experiences we wish we'd not had, marriage, divorce, deaths, births, romance, successes, failures, creativity, the shared lives of others and so much more.

I had my own business for most of my life thus far. It was interrupted in the market crash of 2000. I went to college and got a job working a corporate quality position. After six years and considerable stress and conflict I find myself working on my own again. It feels so right, this is where I'm meant to be. I've made some solid friends along the way. Experienced the trials of some bad relationships and it has all made me a much better person today.

I have a book in the making, more lessons to learn and an enjoyable, promising future ahead in the markets.
This may be 'my vintage future' as seen from my perspective.
Whats yours?

  1. Thanks for posting this article Rick. It's exactly what we want to do,... inspire. My Vintage Future is all about what it means to the person listening to it. For me, it's the idea that we need to get back to the simple important things in life and build that into our future. Sometimes it feels like we're going way off course in this world with our priorities and focus. But we can change that. We can design into our future, all the things we hold dear about our youth, or the past that inspires and ignites us, and create a Vintage Future.

    I hope your future is Vintage dude! Keep the standards high, and make it so!

  2. Great job! The video was so professional. I really liked the story line and cinematography (if that's the right word.) ... And the lyrics/meaning of the song were excellent.

    Good luck!
