6. Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
Entrepreneurial energy, what is “it?”
What ignites it?
Who and what adds to it?
Who and what drains, stalls or destroys it — why?
Who and what transforms it?
Even against resistance, how do high-performing
entrepreneurs get and generate so much of it?
Where does it come from?
Where would the world be without it?

alternative.

reductive; an ‘ask.’ Unwavering
confidence in what’s ahead
trumps hoping for it.”

We need to stop

Illinois generates
well under 2% of
the nation’s
venture capital.
Investment dollars
go toward safety of
blue-chip stocks

not known to
invest in ourselves
— i.e., not enough
interest in, or cash
investment for
supporting, local
entrepreneurs.
Today Chicago has
40,000+ Federal

For decades we know we are living with the dark-
cloud legacy of corruption over our heads; from Al
Capone’s celebrated crimes to incarcerated former
governors. How can we expect the world to believe
our claim to have unimpeachable Midwest Values?

for using ineligible players.” —11 February 2015

For the world looking-in, where are clear signs of
our so-called Midwest Values, work ethic,
capitalistic-mindedness, or even U.S. national
connectedness? What views, news and clues can
serious-minded analysts use for compelling
socioeconomic assessment? Are we seen as
hyper-local politics-obsessed? Business-focused?

Chicago metro area is the world's 5th largest economy,
measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) — nearly
three times the economy of the San Francisco metro area.
Even with this amount of Chicago-generated wealth, San
Francisco's venture capital investment is thirty times (30X)
larger. Chicago is not as ready to invest in new ventures.

A recent report from Accenture concludes
Illinois has the sixth-largest high-tech
economy in the United States. Newly
elected Governor Bruce Rauner is on-record

Yesterday | Today | Tomorrow

“The zeitgeist is a spirit of the age or spirit

thought that typifies and influences the
culture of a particular period (era) in time.”

Fear, etc.
57. A Patriarchal Culture’s People
Dependent — or excessively interdependent
(instead of individuals or organizations sensing
their independence and being independent)
Fearful and often exceptionally needy
Risk-averse and frequently greedy
Focused too tightly on the home front
Craving and demanding protection
An underlying sense of entitlement to Dad’s
protective approval and HELP (money, etc.)

After the Chicago Fire of 1871, major
corporations and other businesses grew
to depend upon elected and appointed
officials in ways a capitalistic free-
enterprise economy was to always avoid.
General Sheridan’s Martial Law remains
embedded in many Chicagoans’ DNA.

61. After The Fire of 1871,
socioeconomically Chicago fell
and stayed behind — “like
Mrs. O’Leary’s cow’s tail,” as
the barnyard saying goes.
Rome blamed Emperor Nero
for its 64 A.D. fire.
“Cow Town” Chicago
blamed an innocent cow.

64. U.S. Independence and Chicago
64
Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
4 July 1776 The U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
1788 — The United States Constitution was ratified (12 years later).
1837 — Chicago was incorporated 61 years after The Declaration
was signed, and 49 years after The U.S. Constitution was ratified.
1861-1865 — The U.S. Civil War galvanized the nation’s attention;
arresting attention away from newly incorporated Chicago.
65. 65
Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
How connected was Chicago with the rest of the country? Were we
disconnected by-default — more so than strategically aligned?
1871 —The Chicago Fire probably placed Chicago on the nation’s
mind — only six years after the end of The Civil War, 34 years after
Chicago was incorporated, 88 years after The US Constitution was
ratified, and 95 years after the Declaration of 1776 was signed.
Feeling vulnerable and “separate,” in 1871 did Chicago’s citizens
connect through a sociopsychological Declaration of Dependence
(e.g., connecting trough governments and public officials)?
U.S. Independence and Chicago
66. Be pleased, not proud!

socioeconomic truths.

68. Love Chicago for it’s ever-readiness to soar to new heights.

Shame and pride
essentially paralyze us.
Remorse moves us down
deep inward for assessment.
Regret lifts us back up for
learning what we can.
Reconciliation accelerates
forward motion.

invariably you will find deeply embedded shame.”
