Brand new doctors, seasoned lawyers, accountants, project managers, the boldest of GenX and Millennials who grew up swinging VR joystick in lieu of hammers. But they\u2019ve watched Property Brothers and Love It or List and have the best database of YouTube videos for home remodeling in their entire subdivision or building. They even park in the \u201cPro\u201d section at Home Depot and have their very own monogrammed Leatherman construction gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can remodel your own home. Even \u201cjust\u201d your kitchen or \u201cjust\u201d your bathroom. You can read and have all the resources at your disposal. But don\u2019t. Don\u2019t even fucking think about it. Remember how you tried to cook Thanksgiving dinner last year and ended up burning up your kitchen, which is why you need to replace it? Those were simple enough directions too, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But what does this have to do with blockchain and more importantly your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glad you asked. Well, your business is like your house. Blockchain is like a remodel. You can do it yourself. You\u2019re after all a pro at your business. But your business isn\u2019t blockchain. Your business is shipping, consulting, farming, logistics, banking, money exchange, insurance, lending, maybe even selling pizzas. Your business is a business. Your business isn\u2019t a way of doing business or a business tool like blockchain. Your business is a way of generating you income to provide for your family, workers, community, financial security and future. It ain\u2019t a way to decentralize any of those, unless you want to find out what a \u201cdecentralized\u201d retirement looks like.
