Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Company? Chapter 4: The “Secret Key” That Makes Your Solution Unique

 

Chapter 4: The “Secret Key” That Makes Your Solution Unique 

For this chapter, you’ll want to focus on one central element that makes your solution unique. 
 
For example, in The One Book Millions Method, “a short book” is the “secret key” that makes our method different from others out there. 
Ideas for discussing the “secret key” to your solution:
  • Present the one unique component that makes your solution work.
  • Share the questions you asked yourself that caused you to discover this unique component. 
  • ​Think about what questions the reader might have about your method or solution at this point. Discuss how this “secret key” answers those questions.
  • ​Discuss what your “secret key” has done to improve people’s lives or change the world for the better.



Chapter 4: The “Secret Key” That Makes Our Solution Unique

Introduction: In this chapter, we will discuss the unique component of our solution that sets it apart from others in the market. This "secret key" has played a crucial role in helping individuals achieve their goals and transform their lives.

The "Secret Key":

The key component that sets our solution apart is our focus on holistic well-being. Unlike other solutions that may only address one aspect of a person's life, we believe that true success and happiness come from a balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Our solution provides resources and guidance for individuals to achieve this balance in their lives.

Discovery Process:

In developing our solution, we asked ourselves several questions that led us to the realization that holistic well-being was the "secret key" to success. These questions included:

  • What is missing from other solutions in the market?
  • What do individuals really need to achieve lasting change in their lives?
  • How can we help individuals achieve their goals in a way that is sustainable and fulfilling?

By answering these questions, we discovered that our focus on holistic well-being was the missing piece in many other solutions, and the key to helping individuals achieve their goals in a way that is sustainable and fulfilling.

Answering Reader's Questions:

At this point, readers may be wondering how our focus on holistic well-being can help them achieve their goals. The answer lies in the fact that our solution addresses all aspects of a person's life, which means that individuals can achieve success and happiness in all areas, not just one or two. By achieving balance and fulfillment in all areas of their lives, individuals are better equipped to handle challenges, maintain motivation, and experience lasting change.

Impact on People's Lives:

Our focus on holistic well-being has had a profound impact on the lives of individuals who have used our solution. By achieving balance and fulfillment in all areas of their lives, they have been able to:

  • Improve their physical health and energy levels
  • Overcome mental and emotional challenges
  • Strengthen their relationships with others
  • Find a sense of purpose and direction in their lives
  • Achieve their goals in a way that is sustainable and fulfilling

Conclusion: In this chapter, we have discussed the unique component of our solution that sets it apart from others in the market. Our focus on holistic well-being has been the "secret key" to helping individuals achieve their goals and transform their lives. By achieving balance and fulfillment in all areas of their lives, individuals can experience lasting change and true success.

Burning America: In the Best Interest of the Company? Chapter 2: Who the Book Is For and How It Helps That Person

 

Chapter 2: Who the Book Is For and How It Helps That Person

The purpose of Chapter 2 is to help the reader determine whether they’re someone who’d benefit from the solution you share in the book. 
 
It pinpoints the obstacles they’re facing in their lives right now. And it shares how your solution can help overcome them. 
Ideas for supporting readers in this self-identification process:
  • Speak to the pains or obstacles you felt in your life that caused you to find the solution you share in the book.
  • If there was a major turning point in your life that led you to discover your solution, speak to that.
  • ​Discuss the most powerful shifts your reader could make in their life today to move forward.
  • ​State the specific type of person you’re writing this book for.

Chapter 2: Who Can Benefit from Understanding Different Religions

As you consider whether this book is for you, it may be helpful to first understand who can benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of different religions.

Perhaps you've been feeling disconnected from your community, or you're struggling to understand the beliefs and practices of people from different religious backgrounds. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by the divisiveness and intolerance that seem to be so prevalent in our society today.

Whatever obstacles you may be facing, it's important to recognize that gaining a deeper understanding of different religions can help you overcome them. By learning about the beliefs and practices of different religions, you can develop a broader perspective on life and cultivate empathy and tolerance for people from different backgrounds.

For me personally, the turning point in my life came when I realized that my lack of understanding of other religions was causing me to view the world in a narrow and limited way. By seeking out information and engaging with people from different religious backgrounds, I was able to broaden my perspective and develop a deeper sense of empathy and understanding.

So, who is this book for? This book is for anyone who is open-minded and curious about different religions and their impact on society. It's for people who want to cultivate empathy and tolerance and build stronger relationships with people from different backgrounds. It's for people who want to be a positive force for change in the world.

By reading this book and implementing the ideas presented, you can make powerful shifts in your life today. You can become more open-minded and accepting of others, and you can develop a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in your daily activities.

In summary, this book is for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of different religions and their historical impact on society. By reading this book, you can overcome the obstacles that are holding you back and make powerful shifts in your life today.

Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack, Ian Hunter, All American Alien Boy

The title track started with Gerry Weems' piercing guitar which cut in sharply on the fade out of Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack. Originally entitled To Rule Britannia from Union Jack the opening track of the LP addresses a concern about Great Britain that Ian raises from time to time and increasingly and profoundly throughout his career. Not surprisingly, on an album about his first impressions of America from a recent transplant he reviews his thoughts about his homeland England. He recognizes the slow decline of Britannia symbolized as the helmeted female warrior holding a trident and shield from the perspective of the Union Jack flag. It is a lament about England as "just a victim of your history" but the glory of England remains firmly on the masted flag. The Union Jack pleads "do not lower me by half." The sentiment of the song is sad but it implies the hope that Britannia may rise again. The song was a comment on Ian's feelings about the sorry state of Seventies England; his feelings are complicated but this is how he felt at the time. 

There are two live versions from 1979 and it was also performed live in 2008. There is an alternate original version of Letter to Britannia From the Union Jack on the 2006 CD reissue of All American Alien Boy

Also recorded at the Park West, Chicago IL 22nd June 1979 on Missing In Action.

Letter To Britannia From The Union Jack

(Ian Hunter)

Poor Britannia - drowning in your waves
With the Body of the unknown soldier and the best of the brave
I have known you ever since I was a child
How come you don't salute me - now - when I smile

You was always so young and on all o' that money
How come new mourners pass you by and think it's so funny
I'd be there with you but I'm chained unto this stake
For I am loyalty but my mast I cannot forsake

I looked down on a bunch of amusements, I looked down walls
I've looked on hangings 'n parades 'n city halls
And I've seen love in so many living rooms
And I've seen rich men slowly die inside their tombs

I know we're just two charms but it's heavy on my mind
Have faith in me I said, now, look at time
I know you're just a victim of your history but
Have faith in me, I said and you would be free....

You pull me up and you pull me down
And when the Queen's in residence I hang around
I don't wave madly 'cos the climate's civilised
Just flutter sadly 'cos I'm old 'n I'm wise

And you-you been up, and you - you been down
You been through many things I know you been around
I have fought armies for you in the conflicts of the past
Britannia, I implore you, do not lower me by half.

Review

Ian recorded his second solo album in NYC, and this finds him in an altogether softer mood - there are none of Ian's trademark rockers on this album. Management differences meant that Mick Ronson was absent ("I'll never work with Mick again so long as Tony DeFries is his manager" - Ian), so Ian brought in Chris Stainton on keyboards to act as a balancing force in the studio ("I need someone who'll argue with me").

Highlight of the album is Irene Wilde (which Ian maintains is a true story), and You Nearly Did Me In(which features Queen's Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor on backing vocals).

The 2006 reissue sees excellent sound quality, and a host of bonus tracks none of which have been released before. It also comes with an excellent booklet written by Campbell Devine. The original version of Rape has been restored, which some may see as a disappointment compared with the rare intro on the previous 1998 CD.

This is the third release of this album on CD. This album was previously available on a USA CD. Sound quality was good, considering that by all accounts the master tapes were not in good shape. No bonus tracks. In 1998 this album was issued in the UK as part of Sony's Rewind series. Sound quality was excellent, audibly better than the USA CD. The 1998 CD also came with a previously-unavailable version of Rape, which had the Singin' In The Rain intro. This version was previously available only on a few US test pressings and had never been issued officially before!

Leave Me Alone, Ian Hunter, Short Back and Sides

From an album with mixed tracks and problematic production comes Leave Me Alone which is one of those young love ballads that Ian writes consistently. But, there is a twist with this one as the guy desires the girl who teases him because she already has a boyfriend. She's a flirt so the guy pleads with her to leave him alone. It might have been written for fun.  

The song had been around since Overnight Angels and written for airplay but Ian wishes he had never written it. He tried the same with To Love A Woman didn't get either of these two songs right. They both seemed like singles but neither came off well. This is the problem Ian has expressed elsewhere; if you try to write in an artificial manner the songs don't come off but strong songs and singles are similar to gifts. They just come direct. 

Ian Hunter On Track for Sonicbond Publishing, TheDoctorOfDigital@pm.me

Leave Me Alone

(Ian Hunter)

I love your sulky eyes,
I love your raven hair.
I often fantasize
a beautiful affair,
a broken paradise
'cause you don't even care.
I love your sultry smile,
I love to see you dance.
Sometimes it drives me wild
to know I've got no chance.
Your boyfriend doesn't see
you're flirting, teasing me.

Why don't you leave me alone,
leave me alone?
Won't you leave me alone,
leave me alone.

Sometimes I'll act OK,
sometimes I'll try and hide.
But when you look at me,
I fall apart inside.
Across a broken sea
you took me for a ride.

Why don't you leave me alone,
leave me alone?
Won't you leave me alone,
leave me alone.

Other lovers go home
and I'm left here alone
with my heart in my hand.
I just can't understand
why you treat me this way.
I just got to say.

Why don't you leave me alone,
leave me alone?
Won't you leave me alone,
leave me alone.

Why don't you leave me alone,
leave me alone?
Won't you leave me alone,
leave me alone.

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
why don't you leave me,
leave me alone, oh)

Review

At the end of 1980 Ian returned to the studio to record the follow-up to Schizophrenic and Welcome To The Club. Mick had effectively stopped playing live earlier in the year, and Ian himself was unsure which (musical) direction to take. He got Mick Jones as producer, and on paper the fusion of Mott The Hoople with The Clash should have produced a phenomenal album.

I'll make no bones about it - I hate this album. The material is mixed, and the production (and all the sound effects Mick Jones added) IMO ruined the good songs on it. At the time Ian liked the album, with Mick using different production techniques in the studio. But today he hardly ever plays material from it, a sure sign that it ain't up there with the best.

The 2-CD set offers excellent packaging and excellent sound quality. The original album is on one CD, and a second CD ("Long Odds and Out-takes") containing alternate mixes and unreleased material from the Chrysalis era.

Leave Me Alone3:29Originally issued on Short Back and Sides and on the compilation From The Knees Of My Heart.

Laugh At Me (Sonny Bono), Ian Hunter, Mott The Hoople 1st LP

Sonny Bono's Laugh at Me (originally issued by Sonny & Cher on their second full-length album in 1966, but without vocals from Cher) was certainly instrumental in Ian's career since he sang it while auditioning for Mott The Hoople. He openly admired Bono's less than stellar  singing style and related singers. Hunter can relate to the song as people used to laugh at him. He wore shades before it was fashionable and people associated sunglasses with having a big head and Hunter admits he does. Ian gives off an arrogant vibe and that's how he likes it along with lyrics that Hunter can relate to as he felt like an outsider growing up. The song became part of the 1979-1980 sets and is available in four live releases. A story is told that may be apocryphal but Cher supposedly heard the song in 1979 at the Roxy in LA and disliked it so much that she walked out. 

Also recorded at the Park West, Chicago IL 22nd June 1979 on Collateral Damage.

Laugh at Me

(Sonny Bono)

Well how can I be like any guy
Why do they have to make me run
What do they care about the clothes that I wear
What do they get from making fun
Well they got a lot of space
And if you don't like my face
It ain't me who's going anywhere
Cause I don't care
Let them laugh at me
If that's so fair
Well then I don't have to care
To be free until they laugh at me
And I'll cry for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll do everything that the man upstairs said to do
I'll do it all for you babe
Yes well I'll do it all for you
It's got to be sometime
It's got to be somewhere
I'm going to make that other cheek mine
Then maybe the next time
That you don't wear a silk tie
And I can walk by and say hi
Say hi instead of why
Instead of why babe
Instead of why
Instead of why babe
Yeah!
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Yeah!
Mott the Hoople
