If these events occur as predicted by us here at WIG’N, we should expect the quick green light for our planned operation, and first step toward the miracle for by which we shall discover each within ourselves, in the course of participation, to have been pre-ordained of God to be witnesses to demonstrations of supernatural power of divine origin.

Here is how things stand for us now:

The reaction grows faster and faster towards critical mass, the more water the faster the methane glacier will melt. The directional release of the energy sort of forms things around into what you can think of as a heat exchange pump, that is what is forcing the glacier up towards the sea floor. In the direction of the oxygen fuel source of the sea water provided by BP in the excellent work of drilling the well puncture. When the full size of the glacier becomes exposed and makes contact with the additional fuel, which will now include all the oxygen in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic basin, then the time approaches for the beloved to be comforted.

So will come the miracle of the four corners, the stopping of all the wind from around the whole of the earth, to protect from the toxic death in waiting as we speak high up in our atmosphere. Soon the methane molecules will begin their dance with the hydrogen particulates. Know that Liberation is coming.

We will rise to the occasion and begin our ceremony preparations for the miracle of divine origin. The light will be blotted out by our command, and the light of the eye of every man woman and child over the whole of the earth instantaneously will be extinguished. All the sons of God, the sons of men, and the children of enmity, shall behold and witness, the miracle of divine origin, three days and three nights of darkness.

In darkness comes man forth, born of death. In darkness now shall man return. Apollyon the destroyer rises for his release. The light of the eternal, all powerful, ever present living God, shall be upon Its back to bring the quickening, the new breath of life.

And so shall the earth and its creatures be transformed anew spring of regeneration. As in the days of Noah so shall those days be. Let he who is wicked be wicked, and let he who is righteous be righteous. It’s not of our destiny to remain forever lower than angels.

To all my brothers and sisters who suffer together with me in the eternal struggle of the divine nature.

Love, peace, and power be revealed forever and ever amen.

Wild girls are girls who are on the extreme when it comes to entertainment. Of course, there are very many definitions for wild. In today’s world, you will meet very many wild girls who are ready to do what it takes to have a nice time. There are girls who are wild when it comes to enjoying themselves. This is the kind of wild I want to focus on. When it comes to sexual matter, the girls will also be seen to be wild. Is being wild a good thing? This is a question that every individual needs to understand and judge for them. There are certain kinds of girls who are associated with being wild, I’m talking about blondes. They are known to go all out to have fun and enjoy themselves. They make parties very lively and, many men actually prefer going out with such wild creatures. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about when I say the name wild. You will find such girls in clubs and other places of entertainment.

There are many advantages that you will find when you become one of the wild girls. First, you will create a name and people will know exactly who you are. Sometimes in life, girls want to live up and be naughty while enjoying themselves. Being wild will give you a certain confidence that is pretty rewarding. You will have the confidence to talk to other people who you have otherwise never talked to. Wild girls will also have plenty of fun when they are singing away the nights. With all these fun comes some consequences. Being wild has landed many girls into problems. These are not just problems with other people but, also with the law. Being wild will be enhanced by certain anti social behaviors. Girls might drink more than they are supposed to. Being wild will also lead them to do things that might be illegal. For example they might engage in drug abuse just to prove a point. They will also engage in risky sexual behaviors which are mainly going to be harmful to them rather than people around them.

Wild girls are a trend mainly inspired by what girls view on TV and, on the Internet. The life of living carefree is not exactly what it seems there are many consequences and, you must be ready to ensure that you own up to all you get up to when you are wild. Sometimes, being wild is not practical and, you cannot sustain it for a long time without destroying yourself. It is not always easy to explain this to naive young girls but, experience is a sure teacher. The best thing is to have fun knowing what the limits are. It is also vital to look at the aftermath. You do not have to be extreme to have the fun you are looking for. Look at the real stories of wild females on television and you will discover that the girls value themselves more. Do not do anything that might harm your health.

Krabi newsletter January 2009

Please check out our web site … http://www.gillhamsfishingresorts.com for all the latest news and info about fishing in Thailand at Gillhams Fishing Resorts.

Hi everyone and welcome to 2009. Let’s all hope this recession ends soon – it’s really crippling us, as the first thing people do in troubled times is not take an exotic holiday. Don’t forget to cheer yourselves up and come and see me at the Carpin’ On show 2009 at Five Lakes near Maldon in Essex – see the link on our website. We are on Stand 10A, and if you book and pay on the day you receive a 10% discount. If you bring a Big Carp Magazine and show me, we will give you a further 5% discount, so that’s a massive 15% off the best fishing holiday on the planet. If you buy your tickets in advance for the show you automatically go into the free draw for a week for two with flights, fishing and accommodation at Gillhams Krabi. Just click on the link above.

The first few days of January saw the end of a holiday for a few people who spent Christmas with us. It’s always a sad moment, as people who came as clients and leave as friends depart, but most rebook so we all meet again. As I write this report the heatwave continues; we are having the hottest January on record, the sun is relentless, and every day is over 100 degrees. We haven’t had a drop of rain in five weeks; the lake has dropped a foot as we water the gardens twice a day from the lake. The gardens are struggling in the heat in the jungle around us; the trees are going brown so I just hope there isn’t a fire! The intense heat and flat calm conditions are making the fishing very hard, especially for the arapaima; they are just not feeding hard at all, just taking the odd snack. The Mekong catfish have started to feed in earnest again though, and it seems the stingray like the hot weather also. Talking of stingray, I was landing one for angler Eric Keogh, and stingrays are hard to net – it takes two or three of us to manhandle them into the net. As I was shoving the fish into the net, it swished its tail, impaling its sting into my foot, and I have never in my life experienced pain like it! Within seconds my whole leg was on fire; it was like someone pushing a red-hot poker up my leg, and all my muscles started to seize up as I went into shock.

The lads on the lake bundled me into our car and drove like lunatics to the local hospital, where they had been pre-warned of our arrival. The hospital had staff waiting, and I was rushed into emergency. By now the pain was excruciating, and my shirt was soaked with sweat. Immediately two doctors appeared and started injecting my foot with anesthetics and an anti-venom type substance. Next, the doctor cut open the wound and removed the sting and a black skin that covers the sting. The wound was then packed out with antibiotics and cotton wool. I had to go to hospital every day for over a week for more injections, and to have the wound opened and cleaned. All our stingrays in the lake had their stings removed, but we did not realize that every so often a stingray has two stings. This one had been overlooked and had two; the sting folds flat to the tail and we had missed this one. The 110lb fish had its sting removed this time. We have stingray to over 200lb in the lake, and in future we will no longer net them in this way until we are sure the sting is absent. Fishing at the lake is perfectly safe as stingrays stay away from people. They are like any creature – if cornered and panicked they lash out. The only time they will sting is when you start annoying them. It was my own fault for being blas? about these beautiful fish. I will have more respect for them next time, and for our customer’s safety no angler is allowed in the lake until any fish has been contained and made safe. This ensures that our customers are 100% safe at all times. For the record freshwater stingray are believed to reach 1,000lbs with 5m wingspans, so this fish was a baby really at 110lb. Mind you, can you imagine a 110lb hornet? We have five different species of fish in Gillhams over 100lb, and landing these huge fish is dangerous. We are professionals but we still get hurt; a moment’s lapse in concentration is all it takes. I will repeat our customers are safe as long as they take our advice and do not enter the water ‘til we say it is 100% safe to do so.

We are still getting the odd person, with the emphasis on odd, who come here, get a huge fish, and feel let down because they wanted one bigger. One guy this month had a 60lb Chao Phraya catfish, which is only 4lb off the world record, but he did not want a photo because in his words he will wait for a big fish. He even admitted it was the biggest fish he had ever caught! Mind you the same guy had his biggest carp, but waited for a bigger one, then when he had an arapaima and a big red tail catfish in a day, he was also disappointed because he had to wait a whole seven hours between fish! Oh where do they come from? Luckily the real nice guys who appreciate catching fish outweigh these so-called fishermen. Some people just want a trophy shot, and do not wish to put in any effort. We even get some that are gutted they don’t get several 100lb fish a day with a couple of 300lb-plus fish thrown in. We are thinking of starting a new service for these people where people can order their fish online; we will enhance their mug behind a fish and send them the picture of their prize without them even having to take the trouble to come here, and I bet we would have some takers! The other annoying people who come here who really wind us up are the litter louts. Last week we had a prat come here who actually called his self Gayland (I kid you not) with his two boyfriends, who I presume were called Ben Dover and Phil McCavity! Now he (it) was the typical berk who only wanted a trophy shot. On arrival they commented how beautiful the place is, only to throw rubbish all around their swim! Luckily I was out all day and just missed them leaving, because their swim was an absolute tip with rubbish strewn everywhere. It took the boys ten minutes to clear the mess of food wrappers, fag ends and general crap! If I had been there I would have donned the rubber gloves and dragged them by their blouses to clear up the mess themselves! We supply rubbish bags and have sand pots in the swims for faggot ends, so please use them. I personally get really angry about cigarette ends thrown on the ground or tossed in the lake. It makes me wonder what these people’s houses are like. That’s it – monthly whinge over!

Back to a bit of humor – my manager Watt, bless him, is very gullible and Sean got him a treat this month. Watt wanted to know how he could increase the size of his manhood, so Sean informed him of a cream called 3-in-1 that triples the size of your tackle, and poor young Watt fell for it. My daughter Becca bought some Immac hair remover over at Christmas, so we put it in a plain bottle and presented it to Watt. He went off with our security man the local policeman; they smeared the cream around their parts, and sat around for an hour talking of what they were going to do with their new king size weapons! After an hour they washed the cream off, along with all their forest. They came to see me in a state of horror and shock, but were very relieved when I told them it is the first stage of growth and to repeat it next month. Oh what a horrid person I am! Roll on next month!

The top method this month looks alien to European anglers, but lots of Siamese carp are coming out to a method feeder fished 3ft below a float with a golf ball sized fishmeal boilie suspended under it. Now I just wonder, would this method work in European waters? The first of the new arrivals were our dear friends Wil and Betty from Holland, who came last year for a few days and stayed a few weeks before setting off on an epic motorcycle journey from India back to Holland. This time their trip was tame, coming straight to Thailand and back by plane. We are planning a trip together now for June when we are going into the jungle fishing for Thai mahseer, that’s if the troubles in the Congo don’t end, because the minute they do we are all planning to race to catch a Goliath tiger fish. Last year Wil and Betty came as clients, and this year, as with many of our guests, they returned as friends. They planned a five-day trip here, and once again stayed longer – as Wil got into the fishing, the trip grew to ten days. We were dreading another group that came to us, as there were 30 people. We had to arrange a speedboat to collect them from an Island 50 miles away, and minibuses to transport them from the beach to here, but they were an absolute joy to host. The whole day went smoothly, and we even managed to accommodate them for the night when they didn’t wish to leave. There was not one person in the group who was the slightest problem, but the fish kept their nuts down though, as there had never been so many lines in the lake at once. Paul and Lorraine, it was a pleasure hosting you all, and we are looking forward to you all returning this year for a holiday. As for Lorraine, she deserved a medal organizing the whole holiday for 30.

We also had a visit from two brothers who we nicknamed The Wurzels, a really nice pair of lads who lived on a farm in the country, and decided to have an adventure. They had never been out of their county, let alone the country, and they had never heard of a place called Oxford where our guide Kevin hails from. Imagine the boys’ surprise when they landed in Thailand! Apparently at home they don’t go out drinking, “We’ze don’ts goes out dranking, we’ze stays in wiz a noice cup orf tea.” We asked one brother if he saw the guy opposite land the big Mekong catfish. He replied, “Nooooooo, I warz wachin’ der arnts – oi loike arnts, they is fazinating indzects.” Yes they were proper characters, really nice lads on an adventure, and imagine their return home to the farm explaining all the things they had seen to their family, “Duz yoo nowz in that Thailand theyz eats frags snakez an bugz, and even der gals haz got willies, not likes our sis aat all, yer nowz!” I must stop, but they kept us amused and were real nice guys.

So now enough of my twaddle and onto the fishing. This month has seen 45 day tickets (30 in one group) and 38 guests on Thailand fishing holidays, fishing in Thailand from a few days to a couple of weeks. Between them they landed 465 fish of 15 species, made up as follows… 25 arapaima to 400lbs, 12 Mekong catfish to 180lbs, 255 Siamese carp to 120lbs, 72 red tail catfish to 80lbs, five alligator gar to 15lbs, four Asian red tail catfish to 30lbs, 13 black pacu to 30lbs, seven Chao Phraya catfish to 65lbs, 19 spotted sorubim to 35lbs, four Julian’s golden prize carp to 25lbs, eight spotted featherback to 10lbs, 17 rohu carp to 16lbs, 18 striped snakehead to 4lbs, five giant stingray to 120lbs, and one wallago attu of 24lb.

As mentioned earlier Wil, with his much better half Betty, from Holland were the first new guests in after Christmas. The fishing this year was slower than last, but as Wil targets big fish it suited him and his style of fishing. Wil’s target this year was to fish Siam carp. Betty once again was chief photographer, reporter, general gopher, and live bait catcher. Betty loves float fishing for our lesser species, but Wil made strict rules – no float fishing before 9am so as not to spook the fish! Wil ended his session with five arapaima to 200lb, 13 Siamese carp to 110lb, and three Mekong catfish to 130lb. That’s three species in one trip exceeding 100lb! Plus he had five red tail catfish to 45lb, and some rohu and pacu.

The next new arrivals who came to us via Siam fishing tours, were totally laid back Mark with his non-fishing wife Carol. I have never in my life met someone as chilled out as Mark, a lovely guy who just got taken in by the peace and tranquility of Gillhams. We actually had to pick up Mark and all his equipment and move him to a different spot, as for four days Mark sat gazing in awe at the beauty of our resort, failing to cast at showing fish or sometimes for that matter even failing to cast. Poor Mark ended the trip with just one fish (mind you that was one more than Siam fishing tours managed to get him). He has vowed to return with his fishing head on next time, but mind you, Mark showed that you do not need to catch fish to enjoy a trip here. Day-ticket visitor pearl necklace Terry came for a day on the busiest day of the month when we had the group of 30 in, but he saw enough to fit a four-hour session in the next morning before leaving Krabi, and his keenness paid off with a 55lb Chao Phraya catfish and three Siamese carp to 40lb. Ian Norris, an ex-pat living in Australia did the usual, a 24-hour trip, and left it ‘til the last hour to catch, but it was worth the wait when first he landed a rare wallago attu at 24lb, followed by the ever-friendly Siamese carp, Black Spot, at 70lb.

Steve Cox made a return visit for a three-day trip with his mate Colin and two Thai friends, Kuan and Jay, who are regulars at Bungsamlan Lake in Bangkok. The Thai lads gave the two Brits a proper lesson in fishing with their knowledge of Thai species, landing 25 fish to the Britt’s 11 fish! Whenever Coxie leaves Gillhams, a big Siamese carp comes out, and this trip was no exception because as he left Wil had a 110lb carp. Another 48-hour visitor was builder Steve Holberry from Manchester with his mate Mark. They landed 12 fish between them, with the icing on the cake going to Steve in the shape of a 90lb Siamese carp. The cobblers from Manchester, Ross and Slim John, made the short drive from Phuket for a 1? day trip. Slim John only made part of the first day, and retired knackered after landing seven carp in a short flurry of action, deciding to stop while ahead, and work his way through our restaurant menu! Ross meanwhile gave his all, fishing ‘til the final whistle for a haul of six Siamese carp to 60lb, one 50lb red tail catfish, and a 150lb Mekong catfish. This fish took him all over the lake while Slim sat eating a box of pies. Judging by the amount consumed by Slim, we estimated the fight took one hour, or 10 pies, 11 cakes, a bucket of ice cream, and 20 fags!

Then came the incredible hulk brothers Ricky and Terry Clark. These two giants were spot-on sound guys who came and enjoyed every moment of their stay. They came hoping for an arapaima, but whatever they caught was a bonus – just the attitude needed to fish here. Now the first day Ricky, who is about 10ft tall with a physique that makes Arnie look a wimp, caught a nice Mekong catfish. He plucked it from the landing net as if it was a minnow, “How big,” he asked? Well judging by the ease with which he had just lifted, it I would have said 5lb, but went for 120lb instead so as not to offend him! “No,” he stated, “I reckon 180lb,” and who was I to argue? But to humour him, I went to lift it, and amidst laughter from all around, I nearly followed through, and for sure it was easily 180lb. Ricky went on to take three Mekong, 17 Siamese carp, two red tail catfish, one pacu, and his target species, a nice 200lb arapaima. Terry, who is the same size as Ricky, with arms like hams, caught ten fish including two 100lb-plus arapaima. I am very glad the brothers were here when they were, as during this time I had the mishap with the stingray, and the lads plucked me from the lake like a feather and ran with me to the waiting car. Thanks you two, I owe you one. The hot weather was certainly bringing the stingrays on the feed, as two days later Keith from Liverpool landed another one, minus a sting! This fish weighed in at 120lb, and compensated for a lost arapaima.

Another laid back Mr. Nice Guy, Ken Weeks, booked in for a week. Ken came to chill out and hopefully catch a few fish. He was great fun to be with, and thoroughly enjoyed his stay here. The first few days Ken just chilled in the wrong swim, but was not bothered. Later in the week he moved to the other end of the lake, landing 31 fish for the week. He got into a shoal of Siamese carp, and took 18 to 50lb. At the same time my dear friends Jamie and Carol Mclean arrived just for a quiet break to see us. Jamie did manage a couple of short sessions between the swimming pool and sightseeing, while Carol divulged her secret steak and kidney pudding and bacon pudding recopies to Steve. Oh mate, these are to die for, and are now on the menu here at Gillhams – I have already put on another 20lbs! Jamie’s best fish from five was a red tail of 65lb. I had an enquiry before Christmas from a guy by the name of Jerker who wished to visit for a 48-hour trip. I thought it was a wind-up from a mate, but actually it turns out to be a popular name in Scandinavian countries – apparently there are lots of Jerkers over there! I suppose when they leave they say Jerker’s off! Sorry couldn’t resist that; it’s a bit like the lad called Wayne Kerr. OK back to the story… Jerker was a fishing fanatic; he booked three rods, and was buzzing from the moment he arrived. He had his better half Ida with him, and what a pair! He said that Ida could fish, but he only wanted her to use maize or boilies so as not to catch bigger fish than him. The first day Ida was a machine, taking eight Siamese carp in a short feeding spell, but the next day she properly gave Jerker a spanking with a 150lb Mekong catfish in the morning, followed by three more Siamese carp to 120lb. While all this was happening, poor Jerker in the next swim landed just two fish. The following week Jerker returned for a day’s fishing, and to save face poor Ida was not allowed to fish! He had a better day, probably because Ida was showing him what to do, landing five fish with some small carp, by Ida’s standards, up to 55lb, along with a nice featherback around 12lb.

Reiner from Dream Lake in Chiang Mai sent his Austrian client Andreas to us. By the time he arrived we were in the middle of a heatwave and the fishing was slow, but in a week he still managed 21 fish of five species. His target featherback eluded him, but on the final day, in the last hour of fishing, Andreas landed a dream fish in the shape of a 400lb arapaima! This was the same fish that rescued Len Gurd’s trip last month, again in the last hour of the last day. This arapaima is just packing on the weight – it was stocked at 300lb and avoided capture for 18 months. We are sure if it avoids capture for the next 18 months, it will reach 500lbs! At the same time as Andreas we had German client Peter in for three days. Peter’s target were predators, and he scored with two arapaima, best 160lb-plus, an 85lb stingray, and also took three red tail catfish. Germany has been making a good appearance here this month, and our final German client for the month was catfish fanatic Michael Zellner, who came for four days, and immediately rebooked for July when the heatwave will be well and truly over, as it will be our rainy season by then. Michael only landed nine fish due to the extreme heat, as we suffered the hottest January on record, but he did land his dream fish, an arapaima of 120lb. Michael’s attitude was what we wish everyone’s would be, enjoy the holiday – one big fish makes the holiday, and he could see enough potential here if the weather is kind to re book.

A bit of a sad one is the way to describe the next visitors. Here at Gillhams we want everyone to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the lake. We designed a fishery for the specialist angler where patience is rewarded with the biggest fish of your dreams. Most people catch a dream fish in a week, and sometimes two or three. We have never claimed Gillhams as a mackerel fishing location where you catch a fish a chuck from an overcrowded stock pond where all the fish are starving and emaciated. Our fish are the biggest and best-conditioned fish in Asia due to a low stocking density and an abundance of natural food. You should expect around four fish a day with a dream fish as a bonus. Henk and Job from Holland had not done their homework because if you look through our website you will see we are not a single specie overstocked bowl, and we chose the area for its peace, quiet and beauty, not like Bungsamlan in Bangkok where you can sit with crowds of muppets crossing lines amongst skyscrapers and fumes, hauling out vast bags of starved, badly beaten catfish before heading back to your hotel through traffic jams for a night of debauchery in the girlie bars. Unfortunately Gillhams was not for Henk and Job, so after a few days of only fishing part time they landed six fish, with a stingray of 80lb and Siamese carp to 50lb, before they headed back to Bangkok for a wild time in the bars, plus sticking hooks in numerous half starved and tatty Mekong and striped catfish amongst the crowds.

By contrast to Henk and Job, the next guest had read up on us, and wanted peace, quiet and big fish in beautiful surroundings. The spritely 70-years-young Arthur Hawkins, with his delightful fishing partner and wife Angie, came for a week on their way home from visiting their daughter and grandchildren in Australia. Arthur first noticed Gillhams via the article by Gary Newman in Anglers Mail after the Anglers Mail visit here. Arthur’s target was a big fish of any species, as he wanted to win a Jonny foreigner hat. In a week of chilling out and a second honeymoon, Arthur landed 13 fish of five species, the best being two arapaima to 220lb, and four red tail catfish to 75lb. Not to be outdone, Angie showed just what the women can do; she was a very competent and experienced fisherwoman who is thoroughly enjoying retirement with Arthur, fishing around the world. Angie landed 12 fish of four species, the best being four red tail catfish to 80lb, and six Siamese carp to 45lb. If poor Angie had not lost a couple of big fish, one being an arapaima, she would have upstaged Arthur. The couple both realized that the extreme heat was slowing the fishing, but agreed that Gillhams would still be paradise without the fish – in their words the fish were a bonus. Top couple, top fishing – we will see them both later in the year.

Gillhams is starting to get noticed in Singapore, so if any of our Singaporean followers are reading this and know the dates of the Singapore fishing show, please email me so we can attend and show just what we have, only a 1? hour flight from Singapore. One guy who made the trip this month was Nick Wheeler, an ex-pat Englishman working and living there, Nick came with his wife and one-year-old daughter for a week’s holiday with three days fishing, and landed ten fish in the three days of six species, with arapaima to 120lb, Chao Phraya catfish to 60lb, a baby Mekong catfish of 65lb, plus red tail catfish to 65lb along with Siamese carp and sorubim, all in all a fair bit of sport for a short trip.

So that’s me running out of space folks, but don’t forget the Five Lakes show on the 7/8 March. By the time you get next month’s newsletter I will be freezing in the UK, wearing shoes, long trousers and jackets for the first time in a year! If your fishing club want a talk on Thailand fishing holidays or fishing in Thailand, please contact me, as I still have some dates available. Forget the recession, and treat yourself to the fishing trip of a lifetime here at www.gillhamsfishingresorts.com Phone +66861644554. So, ‘til next month, from all of us at Gillhams, bye for now, thanks for your support, and catch a whacker.

Stuart and the team.

A general dictionary defines recession in many ways like, “A period of an economic contraction, an extended decline in business activity, a general global slump that will last several months or years,” and so on. Recession is a time when economic disasters start, stock markets go haywire, mighty organizations drop to their knees, jobs get cut worldwide, best practices become worst practices, and so on. And, not to be left behind, the media and management gurus also go high pitched with their own theories of why things failed, whose heads should roll, who should be lynched, statistical gymnastics, witch hunts, etc. During such times you may ask, why on earth do the so called business best practices that gave abundance and happiness till now suddenly became worst practices? For this people may say it is because the universe is a random, chaotic dance of meaningless happenings. This may seem true, because we see several personal and singular disasters that just don’t make sense. But, on an overall scale, underneath all the chaotic occurrences there are hidden reasons and purpose to all things that happen around. Coming back to the main topic, though economists, business leaders and rationalists often believe the creation (and elimination) of recession, meltdowns and global business downturns are completely under man’s control, it is not entirely true. There is actually a higher supernatural power in charge, and it is necessary to understand the hidden spiritual reason why mankind goes through phases of abundance and famine. Though rationalists and scientists may chew your head off for attempting such a non scientific explanation, it is also not possible to dismiss it entirely. Modern men fear turning towards religion and spirituality for answers because it attracts ridicule. Refusing to believe in the supernatural does not make it a lie. But if one is willing to set rational logic aside for the moment and look at any option that will give some answers, then you will get some explanations.

Science and rationalism may somehow explain how disasters happen in the universe, but it cannot explain why they happen. And that “why” reason is well documented in most religious books, but not easily available inside most management or economic books. Almost all religious books from centuries have explained why mankind goes through troubling times and disasters, but perhaps the best explanation of how and why recession occurs is given in the Jain mythology. According to Jainism the world goes through a relentless cycle of positive and negative phases called Sushama and Dushama, (and their combinations), which can be used to understand a recession.

A perfectly good phase is called Sushama Sushama (extreme happiness). This is the phase of a feel good factor when businessmen believe they are invincible, organizations make enormous profits, customers are in plenty demanding better and better services, willing to pay premium for goods and services, etc. People easily talk about fashionable things like the sky being the limit, firing on all cylinders, nerves of steel, etc., and keep doing things at a reckless pace. Businesses start believing they are capable of everything and start mergers, hostile takeovers, diversification, etc. Frequent success in one field also gives them a false confidence to try their hand in areas they are not experienced with. Businessmen and the public start believing that if one pours enough money, then anyone can become successful in any business. So individuals and organizations start developing many tentacles in the hope to give end to end service, or have a stake in every stage of the value chain, etc. For example, successful steel companies may start software industries, while software industries may try their hand in television sets, oil manufacturers start peddling agricultural products, etc., in the name of diversification. The mantra is growth, growth and growth.

Slowly a small tilt occurs and it enters into a phase called Sushama Dushama (happiness with some unhappiness). This starts because when things go higher and higher, common sense and moderation takes a backseat, and greed takes over causing the bubble to expand beyond what it should. This is a phase when businesses slowly start feeling the pinch with revenues going down, and entering into a phase of slowness.

Soon it enters into a phase of Dushama Dushama (extreme unhappiness) when the bubble finally bursts and everything starts going bad, a period which we call recession or depression. This is a phase where everything that was good earlier will seem now bad. The very factors that were bringing successes earlier will now bring failures. Best practices will now seem like worst practices. Suddenly every safe investment and practices become risky. The very foundations of every business thought and practice that worked so well earlier now gets ridiculed, questioned and insulted. All the business heroism will suddenly vaporize and people enter into a state of panic leading to abrupt cost cutting by putting sudden brakes on everything. The mantra now is freeze, freeze and freeze. This, in turn, will lead to a situation like a car pileup on a on a highway due to an accident. Mighty businesses fall down like nine pins and billionaires get wiped out for inexplicable reasons. The trigger for this phase often starts in rather mysterious and unpredictable ways like, for example, creating a 9/11, a dot-com burst, a bird flu, or a sub prime crisis that no one could have imagined or prevented.

Slowly, after some agonizing months or years, it enters a phase called Dushama Sushama (unhappiness with some happiness) where rays of hope start appearing again and things get better. Eventually things improve to good old days of Sushama Sushama, but only for a short period of time. And the cycle starts again as it is an eternal never-ending process, a law of nature that every human should accept. In short, these phases keep humans from becoming too confident and arrogant of their capabilities. There is no escaping from this mighty circle. It is nature’s way of moderating things, letting the steam out or throwing a spanner in the works when it is necessary to do so. In fact, if you observe closely such feast and famine cycles are already visible all around us. For example, flowering trees goes into full bloom and then slowly loses all its leaves and flowers, only to start all over again. And no amount of watering or fertilizers will ensure the flowers remain intact all the year round. Similarly, humans have to learn to endure periodic positive and negative phases, no matter how hard they try to avoid the negative phase.

Finally we can conclude this article with a couple of quotes that can teach us how to handle a recessions and meltdowns.

“If you are going through hell, keep going.” – Winston Churchill

“When humans are too happy, even the gods are jealous.” – Old jungle saying

I’m asking on behalf of my boyfriend. He is a junior in college, he’ll be 24 in june and his parents haven’t talked to him in months. It was one of those things where his father said to never speak to him again and that he was "cut out of the will". Would fin aide consider this extreme?
He has never received aide before, and I doubt that his father quit claiming him on taxes. He probably wants all the $ he can get and the more dependents the better I guess.

Your boyfriend should be considered an independent student by now, since he will be 24 in a few months.

Most dental marketers have this answer­ to the what-should-you-do question––what “we” specialize in. There is quite a bit of conflict of interest in this response, but often they are correct by default. Doing “something” — even their thing — can work. However, the results these one-legged solutions create are often short-lived.

The market changes, consumers evolve, and competitors compete. Therefore, the second stage Top FAQ becomes: What do I do now? A question I hear a lot more frequently.

When I started, some dentists were marketing outside of the Yellow Pages, but few were doing anything else consistently. In the intervening 10 years, more and more dentists have been proactively getting their message out. While the level of “direct dentist competitor marketing” is still not overwhelming, if one or two dentists in the general area have been getting their message out in some way, your local market gets squeezed.

Your “new” entry into the market is then going to compete with that pressure. Added to this is the price pressure your competitors have created by presenting the concepts of FREE and discounted dental services. With the value of dentistry already greatly influenced by insurance reliance and general oral health ignorance, price marketing makes anything beyond the basic dental services seem outlandish.

Consumers do not want to pay a lot for anything. Once your competitor says they can pay less (which suggests they were paying too much before), you seem to be put in a position only to compete on lower price. The other extreme that was the dream 10 years ago, which has been largely dismissed, is the high-end cosmetic practice. In a tough economy, this concept is severely pinched and probably not viable in more than a dozen markets. Department stores have dropped significantly in their popularity and the “dental-mart” concept is also hitting its height of effectiveness.

These consumer and market pressures and realities restrict the value of any one dental marketing strategy. Everything that once worked great now has limitations. Here are a few trends I have noticed from “inside” the dental marketing industry…

New Marketing Concepts Often Have a Great but Short Half-life

1. Email was going to make marketing free and almost effortless. Now the effects of spam and email overload greatly limit its original value. About eight years ago when my former employer did their first email campaign we received 20 calls from dentists within the first few days and that was sent to about 900 dentist emails. Within about a year, it took 30,000 emails to create a few phone calls over many weeks. Back then just having a website meant we were going to get one client a week. Now only having a website means you… have a website.

2. Three years ago when I started PPC advertising on two services (Google and Yahoo) I received 25 emails a month from prospective dentists. Now I am also on a third PPC service run by MSN (they were linked with Yahoo originally) and get less than half the responses while spending 5 times what I did that first year. While it is still viable for me to do PPC, it will never give me the type of advantage it did that first year.

3. You might remember that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) was all the rage before PPC. Search engine gurus were all over the Internet. They could provide you will top ten results – guaranteed!!! My site is search engine optimized and I now get top ten results for “almost” everything dental marketing. However, this is not easy to accomplish (and hold on to) and there are various “trapdoors”.

First, it takes constant effort and some SEO companies are more into “tricks and scams” than building real value. Second, my web guy always used to comment that these same SEO gurus were often NOT in the top search engine position themselves. The competition squeeze is a force of marketing nature–even they cannot escape.

Finally, without a niche–within a niche–you will not be successful long-term. From my perspective, I cannot compete directly against website companies in PPC or SEO rankings. This is because everybody and his brother thinks they can create a dentist website so there are 5,000 “dental website” companies battling in that keyword arena. Therefore, dental websites is NOT a niche, which is a big trapdoor for me to avoid.

Going directly against competitors can be very wrong even though others have been very successful. Just because Wal-mart is making billions does not mean Target wants to go there. Microsoft makes billions but selling iPods seems to do well for Apple.

If dental websites are all my competition does and they have a big corporate advertising budget, they can out buy me on the PPC stage. These crank tons of generic website corporations also can greatly improve THEIR search engine visibility because they are able to “link” back to them. If I try to compete with them head on–a trapdoor opens for me.

Conversely, Niche Dental does not have links on our client sites because we are about building your value first not ours. We want to build YOUR search engine ranking and bluntly if SEO is not viable for you — or even a website – we are not going to try and sell you those concepts. Something else might work better first! Like in-practice marketing or a direct mailing campaign.

You Can Do It Yourself: Dental Marketing

One of the first dentists I worked with as a dental consultant back in 1998 called us because of his marketing effort that died a quick death. He sent out three letters. The first one got two patients. The second one attracted 10 patients and the third one was a “failure”. His small direct mailing campaign–about 2-3,000 prospective households–had basically the same message each time.

Ironically, his dental marketing was very successful. But this dentist was very frustrated — his marketing did not KEEP working well. He wanted to know what he was doing wrong. If you refer to my examples above, you will see that he did nothing wrong except he stopped–in two ways. He not only just stopped sending letters; he did not realize that he had never sent letters before.

The keys to dental marketing success are to “keep doing” what you did before with a variation on the theme (different presentation/message/etc.) and then add something “new” to the mix. New does not necessarily mean the latest technology – but to find arenas where the public has not seen your message.

I also recommend sticking with high value presentations. This is not about “boutique esthetic” dental practices or extreme makeover concepts — it is about presenting the dental consumer with “more” than they thought was possible. Offering promotional incentives and dental service discounts can be beneficial, but if a dentist in your area already has that niche or no one does – the high value strategy could provide you with more options. Going the price route is very difficult to pull out from once you get into it.

My Best Marketing Recommendation

My recommendation has always been to utilize at least three proactive dental marketing strategies. One will work well, one will be a work in progress, and the third will be changed within the first six to nine months of the year. Either start all at once or develop your three-pronged campaign in stages, but do not end any of them until all three have worked together simultaneously for at least four-six months. They will often work off of each other.

For example, one might build your credibility. The other might inform and one might encourage consumers to act. As you see what they are doing, you can decide if one needs to be dropped and/or if another one should be activated to keep the momentum going. While saturation is possible, completely closing a valve to patients that had worked before is not always the best decision.

The three-pronged (or more) approach gives you a matrix of potential and improves the power of any one element. Conversely, spending your entire budget on one concept and then waiting for results is very risky. The SEO guru, the PPC concept, the emailing company, and the mass mailer group are often too inflexible to provide the comprehensive strategy you will need to have a long-term successful business.

Dental Marketing: Go it Alone, Maybe Not

Developing and implementing this strategy is something you can do on your own. Many dentists do fine without a dental marketing company. That is not all: I knew one dentist that did his own veneers (prep and all) looking in a mirror I guess.

However, even though I could get all the design software to create websites and marketing materials for my clients, I decided to run my business by having a person with this deep skill set do my dental designs. That is why Matt, a national dental design award winner, and owner of The Peripheral Vision, fills that role.

Because your local market and marketing is always evolving you might need someone on your side now (or in the future) to explain, develop, and/or implement your strategy. To have someone on your team that is flexible and not stuck in past or “caught up” in promoting the next best thing – call Niche Dental and you can talk directly to me (Dick Chwalek) about what is possible (and legitimate) for your dental practice.
