..........."INTEGRITY"...........
....Where have all the Flowers gone? Long time passssyyyy....
...I try my best to be a man of my word...
...To do what I say, and say what I'll do! THIS IS CALLED "INTEGRITY!"
...I expect the same and want to believe the best about the people that I deal with on a day to day basis...
...Unfortunately, this has not been my experience...
...This is disapointment!!!
...My experience has been, that the people that you try to help the most, are the ones that will turn on you the quickest...
...It has been my curse to have way too many of these folks hanging around like leeches, sucking the life blood out of me!
...Don't get me wrong, there are a PRECIOUS FEW that remain loyal and "ALWAYS FAITHFUL!" These ar rare, precious, and as valuable as diamonds...
...I am blessed to have a few of these people in my life!!!
...OK...What is prompting this particular rant?
...I recently bought one of my Taxi competitors company back in Sept. October 2011.
...For A tidy sum of money I got her clients which according to her was about 400 college students and a half dozen Native Kalamazoo residents mostly Visually Impaired Folks or medically challenged whereby I would agree to provide their rides at a substantial discount (Her Prices) which I agreed until The first of the year 2012...I did!
...I also got a broke down mini van Valued at a $100.00 and this vehicle is still at my mechanics awaiting a minimum of $1600.00 worth of repairs...
...She also asked me if I would give her a job driving for GodSpeed Part Time so she could help make the transition for my new clients a little smoother and she also needed the money!
...Being the nice guy that I am and in the name of helping a person that called herself my friend...I truly did count her as a friend...
...She claimed to be really hurting and down on her luck and did not have the ability to keep her company going anyways...
...So, I am a soft hearted person who has always tried to be there for Lynette whenever she has called upon me for help...
...I have responded to her sooooo manyyyy times from tragedy to tragedy, praying for her and her loved ones in death, house fires, sickness, injury, parenting issues with her teenagers and children etc. etc. etc...
...I even let her dispatch for my taxi company and gave her a much better lease deal on driving my best and biggest cab...A far better deal than the rest of my drivers out of respect for her being a former taxi company owner...
...No matter though...It was never enough and she always complained that she was somehow being screwed..."GO FIGURE!"
...This girl thinks the whole universe revolves around her and her needs, wants, and desires...She is never wrong, is always right, and justified in every situation!
...This girl has a dark cloud over her life...A true "DRAMA QUEEN!" In every sense of the word...If I had a dollar bill for every time I heard her say,
..."I don't know why all this bad stuff always happens to me? I am not a bad person?"
...I would be rich!
The other day, I finally had enough, I reached my limit,...The straw that broke the camels back was...
When my day dispatcher (Rusty) came in on Saturday morning and I commented that we had had a good night!
...Rusty Informed me that Lynette didn't think so cuz she posted on her FaceBook page that she was tired of getting screwed on the gas...
...I came un-glued! I asked him to pull up her page for me and sure enough...Live and in living color was Lynette's face with a post that stated that she was so tired of being screwed on the gas in my van and that if it wasn't for her (MY) college students she would Quit!...
Two things> I paid her good money for those college students when they would of probably wound up as our clients anyways because she no longer had the vehicles or the means to service their transportation needs...
Secondly> She is the only night shift driver that did not have to pay for all the gas on her friday and saturday night shift. I paid for half of it...
...The night in question she reported that she booked in excess of $200.00 and turned in a gas receipt for $34.00 which means she only spent $17.00 in gas for 120 miles driving...
...approx 5 gallons of gas is what she actually paid for out of her pocket while the rest of my night drivers paid $40.00 to $60.00 for gas...
...When Rusty realized how mad I was over her posting those inappropriate remarks on the internet...attacking my integrity, accusing me of screwing her over when I had bent over backwards trying to help her out...
...He asked me, to please not out him to Lynette for telling me about her facebook post...
...As you can Imagine, I changed Lynette's lease deal to the same as the rest of my drivers...When she showed up for her Sat. Night shift she was informed that she would have to pay for all of her gas on weekends like everybody else as well as our dispatch fee's...
...She wasn't happy about it but went out anyways.
She began to make demands on my new dispatch trainees snapping at them being rude and even screamed at Aaron Telling him that she was not taking anymore orders from him that she would only respond to Clinton Cuz she was also mad at Kelly too!
...Kelly, My office Mngr informed me of the ongoing drama and I informed her to tell Lynette to bring her Cab back into the office...
...I was sick and tired of her disrespect and constant drama and was going to give her the rest of the night off...
She broght my cab back alright, without filling up the gas or dropping her lease money for the night (Imbezzlement!) and Quit!
As you might imagine...She got back on facebook and posted that she had been fired because she has a hearing impairment...She has a blue tooth in her ear for Christ's sake...Her ability to hear my dispatchers had nothing to do with it! She was brought in for the night for being Rude and disrespectful. (Insubordination)!
...Two days later, I am informed by the owner of another Cab company in town that Lynette was applying for a position with their company and that she would be willing to sell her large list of college students to them as well if they hired her...
(Can anyone say Fraud? Larceny? Imbezzlement?)
She signed a no compete agreement with us!
I am sure this isn't over with yet?
I must say that I am not surprised anymore by anything that some people do to me, especially when I have always been a good and faithful friend to them.
...I would also like to add that in my heart, I still care about Lynette and her family...I am at peace with the fact that I kept my word and fulfilled all my obligations in our contract in regards to our business deal whereby I bought Lynette's Limo. I performed at every level of our agreement. I was professional and a man of my word!
...On a personal and spiritual note...I have no hate in my heart towards her. God's word commends me to forgive, extend grace and forgiveness, and not to seek revenge or retribution for any wrongs that I may have suffered...On the contrary God says that as believers we will be defrauded and suffer wrong and to receive it graciously and willing without exhibiting malice of any kind and by His grace I hope to be obedient to His blessed admonition...
...Lynette and family I love you in the Lord and wish you no Ill will....
I AM TRULY DISAPOINTED!
AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!
In Jesus Name

Family/Business Plan Additional Info!
...Investment Justification...
...There are a couple of good reasons to take these "Baby Steps" I previously discussed.
...#1. It is a Safe starting point for Y'all to begin to become involved and vested in the family business.
...#2. Y'all begin to establish a means of residual passive income for future financial security for you and your immediate family members and loved ones. A savings/investment that has the potential for significant future return on your initial investment.
...If you provide a vehicle for the GodSpeed Trans. Fleet, that Vehicle could be titled showing your interest as a lien holder protecting your initial investment as it would require your signature and consent to be sold or disposed of. At the least you can always recoup a portion of your money in the worse case scenario if the vehicle has to be scrapped. Presently cars, vans trucks etc. are selling @ $400.00 to $800.00 at the scrap yard based on weight.
...10% of the positive income your vehicle generates will be ecsrowed on your behalf in your name and then combined every 3 months, a quarter and used to purchase actual Gold in your name at the going rate on that date of purchase. Gold is predicted to continue to grow in value and price so you will therefore also potentially earn additional passive income as a result of that gold investment.
...As we have all discussed in the past... When the Spit hits the fan economically in the near future...Paper money will not be worth the paper its written on...Precious metals will be one of the few currencies that will allow you to have any purchasing power to survive on.
...Again I would recomend that you might want to watch the Discovery Channel segments on the Doomsday Preppers to help get your alls minds right about what kind of chaos we could all be facing in the near future, and you need to seriously begin somewhere and somehow to prepare for those eventuallities.
...Money alone will not insure your safety and survival in the event of a global or regional catastrophic event, but it will be one of the important pieces of the puzzle...
...If life continues to go on as it is now then all the better yours, and our fincial position will be in the future...
...Ideally, I have not changed at all my previous position...Stated in an earlier post a few years back on how needful it is for us to come together for all the reasons we have all discussed in the past as a family...
...Our very survival, safety, and sanity for those nearest and dearest to our hearts could very well depend on all of us banding together Geographically, financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, etc. etc...
...I don't think I presently need to go into all of that again because on this point I believe, based on many previous discussions we are all in agreement...
...I know your Mother and I have been working and striving to prepare one day at a time to get to that place of security I am talking about, and we would love to be able to do it all for y'all but my fear is that time is too short...The more people involved the quicker we get there and the more likely we will be to suceed...
...Anyways, your Mother and I are gonna keep doing what we have been doing and I don't want any of you to feel pressured into doing anything...I am just trying to do what healthy families are supposed to do... and that is communicating...
Some feedback, suggestions, questions would be helpful so fire away...Hope to hear from y'all soon
Love Dad

Business Plan - Baby Steps
Bowling Family Business Baby Steps
...If you want to just invest immediately, per my recent conversation with April and Tyler, I proposed a possible scenario that would just be an investment opportunity to create a savings in Gold and would also allow each family member to actually participate, and be vested in a real way in our present family business...
...1. Purchase a vehicle or provide a vehicle to be used as a Taxi Cab, Limo, or Party Bus... Whereby, That vehicles net profit will be tracked and 10% per month will be escrowed in an account with each family members name that participates and every quarter that amount of money escrowed is tallied and used to purchase actual Gold in your name to be used as you see fit at a future time for retirement, college funds, or extreme emergencies.
...This is strictly an idea or concept that is in the planning stages at this time and your Mother and I are certainly open to any ideas or suggestions that you might have to tweak this or improve it in such a way as to make it a win win proposition for each of you personally as well as to improve the health and growth of our transportation company...
...The present Health of the company is good but our earning potential and marketing opportunities would be greatly enhanced with the addition of more units/vehicles on the road. We do not presently have enough vehicles to keep up with the volume of business that presents itself to us daily so their are significant amounts of cash being left on the table for our competitors to scoop up.
... The way this works is that we have the business to justify the expansion of our fleet, and growth in cash flow increases exponentially with each unit added to our marketplace...
...Y'all know full well our committment and philosophy to remain debt free in our business and personal life so we need alternative means to purchasing more vehicles outright as opposed to conventional and traditional methods of financing...
...This where y'all come into play as family members/owners whereby you provide the means for us to expand and capture more of the business available to us with a tried and true guarantee of a huge return Immediately of 10% on your investment with the possibility of even more returns as the price of gold continues to skyrocket at an unprecedented rate of increase...
The facts are that our company has grown at a phenominal rate in its first 2 1/2 years of existance and the potential and opportunity for it to continue to grow even faster is right in front of us...The more cars on the road, the faster we grow, the greater the cash flow, which is the life blood of any company!
Y'all are our angel investors and we keep it all in the family for the present moment...As our cash flow increases and the more involved you become...The likelihood of us implementing my ideas and plans become more possible and realistic...
Like I am saying... this is possibly a first Baby step and immediate opportunity for each of you to help bring these plans of future wealth and financial security to fruition...The sky's the limit and we are only limited by our imagination and willingness to participate...And God's blessings!
I can't wait to share all of my plans and ideas with y'all!
Is there risk involved?
...Certainly...But y'all know my work ethic...As long as I am inspired...Which is one of the huge things your involvement brings to the table...And with all of your talents, skills, energy, and input...The success of our company is almost assuredly a lock, done deal, Wrap it up, put a bow on it, and realize once and for all the dreams that we all have been dreaming most of our lives...
...A word of caution though..."It is the love of money that is the root of all evil"
...So personally my motives and your motives hopefully should not be grounded in greed...I want to believe that as our company and ourselves begin to receive an increase in wealth that we get so we can be more giving in every area of our lives... Being a blessing as we are blessed!
Thats all for now...Lets talk and pray soon!...

Top Secret Business Plan
Dear Family,
This is my ideas and I believe Divine Inspirations, I also believe that these ideas are just plain old good and ingenius Plans for making all of us who choose to participate a lot of money...The more family members that actively get involved, the faster and more likely we are to be successful.
No matter, whether you choose to participate or not, Your Mothers and my motivation in all that we have spent our lifes energy and time doing has been to provide and benefit our children, grandchildren.
Our Company is currently set up as an LLC Owned By Your Mother and I,
... with all our family members set up as beneficiaries in a living trust to have all of the assetts divided by percentages as designated and outined in the trust documents and our wills upon our Deaths.
The company is currently solvent and Debt free. The only money owed is month to month week to week operating expenses.
We are in the home stretch of our lives so to speak and we are ready to go home any time God so chooses to take us...But we are in no hurry LOL...
...The point is, we are OK! We dont need any of y'all to bail us out of any difficulties...It would be extremely satisfying to leave this life though knowing that we had raised our children well and that we had helped them to be financially secure...
...And to answer a Question already raised...No one else in the family has any Liabilities tax or otherwise related to Godspeed Trans...Upon our deaths though as things stand now, the Executor of our estate would be responsible for settling our affairs.
...Kids Ultimately, whether y'all want to believe it or not all of our lives are under the providence of the Almighty! And our choices, Decisions, and actions will profoundly affect our futures...We reap what we sow! For every action their is a reaction, or consequence/benefit. These are natural and Spiritual Laws as real as the laws of gravity.
...Consider well today your decisions for they will surely impact your futures.
...............PROPOSAL.....................
.............GODSPEED TRANSPORTATION.........
REGISTERED.... TRADEMARKED...COPYRIGHTED...
OWNERS - ALL MINOR GRANDCHILDREN HELD IN TRUST...8 TOTAL AS OF THIS DATE 2/13/12....
3 BOWLING CHILDREN AND THEIR SPOUSES...
TRUSTEES/CEO/VICE PRESIDENT...MICHAEL Sr. ceo - BETH E. - VICE PRES.
.................MOTIVATION............
1. TO PROVIDE AN INCOME/MEANS/FINANCIAL SECURITY FOR ALL THE BOWLING FAMILY MEMBERS ie. DIRECT DESCENDANTS OF MICHAEL Sr. AND BETH E.
2. TO PROVIDE THE MEANS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL FAMILY MEMBERS TO SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A REAL WORLD SETTING VIA BUSINESS AND INVESTMENTS.
a. God promised us He would provide for all of our needs... IF?... We sought His Kingdom FIRST. (Matthew chapter 6) Emphasis on verses 8b thru13, verses 19 thru 21, verses 24 thru 34. (GO NO FURTHER UNTIL YOU GET OUT YOUR BIBLE AND ACTUALLY READ MATT. CHAPTER 6)
3. TO PROVIDE THE MEANS FOR OUR FAMILY TO STOP THE INSANITY OF SPENDING THE REST OF OUR LIVES SPINNING OUR WHEELS IN THE PURSUIT OF FINANCIAL INDEPENDANCE AND SECURITY! (The definition of insanity is..."Doing the same thing BEHAVIOUR over and over again expecting different results!")
a. If memory serves me correctly??? All of us have been attempting to be financially successful through many different attempts at jobs, schemes, businesses, education, working for other masters, and none of us have made it yet. A wise Man once said,
"That a house divided will not stand!"
"A one cord Strand is easily broken, but a three cord strand is not easily broken!"
I will give this to you guys in pieces as time and energy allows...we will take it slow and it will be a family collective collaboration...At some point the actual nuts and bolts details will be done in a different forum and we will take this stuff down after everyone has had a chance to review it. you may want to print this for future use.
More later soon! I have things that require my present attention!
Love Dad
Back again....2:00AM Happy Valentines day!
I Would like to assure Aimee and Alan that Alan will be included upon their lifetime committment in holy Matrimony. No Better time than Valentines day 2012 for Aimee's Dad and Mother to give our Blessing If Alan would seek it and Promise to be the Husband and Father that her and the boys so richly deserve and need.
Hurt them...and I will have to introduce you to my little friend...LOL....Seriously though!!!
Without divulging my actual plan I would like to say that my immediate 5 year plan/goal in brief is to be the largest transportation provider Taxi/Limo company in south western Michigan...
...I believe we are on track to accomplish that goal!
...My philosophy is to do this debt free and allow the Market/Business to justify the expansion...
...My 10 year goal is for the GodSpeed Brand and plan to be able to be transplanted into multiple locations and markets throughout the country...
...This is only the tip of the iceberg...My ideas will carry us into a global market place...via the internet and social networks, the entertainment industry etc...
...History has taught us that the right ideas, plans and appropriate marketing has made vast fortunes in the .com markets and the transportation business and the GodSpeed brand will be the vehicles (Pun Intended) to take us to that multi millionaire level...
Face book, Twitter, Utube, etc. are perfect examples of what I am talking about...
We have to dream big in order to succeed big, with God's blessings it will be so... Amen!
I am totally serious about this and would like to have a family gathering to discuss the details of our plan...
...Remember...Time and life is short and if you will go back to a previous posting or all of my posts on this blog site,,,you will see God's hand and answers to the prayers as the evolution of where your Mom and I were just a few years back and where we are today...
...It is amazing and miraculous...Just think of the possibilities if we all pull together and begin to work together?...
...What are you waiting for? What have you got to lose? What do you have to gain?
Good Night! Good Morning! More Later...
