Some thoughts on HOM for future upgrades.

Fame vs Reputation:

In the same way that ASBR has a tremendous emphasis on Fame, HOM should have a tremendous emphasis on Reputation. I’ve always interpreted the Medici Archetype as a hidden hand or sorts. Someone who is making things happen behind the scenes that when they play out in front of everyone, the orchestrator reaps the benefits they were seeking without added attention. For that reason I think Fame should be down played or used only as a tool when necessary for a Medici.

More Lineage Mandate:

There’s a big difference in how well the heirs of more recent empire builders faired. The Vanderbilts went broke with Anderson Cooper’s mom. The Rockefellers are still shaping culture and society. The Kennedys are still respected and shaping society. The Waltons are still one of the wealthiest families long after Sam died. What’s the difference? The family culture and structures. This is where integrating more LM with the goal of building and refining the culture and family structures to support continued multi generational success.

Seconded. Couldn’t have said it better.

Just a sprinkle of philanthropy could make the world a better place! What do you all think about that in the new upgrade of HOM?

Philanthropy is a personal choice. Don’t want it in my subs though.

May I remind you of ‘Free Will Scripting’? It proves to be quite effective, and it suggests that greed only leads to more greed.

Philanthropy and greed aren’t mutually exclusive ideas.

In 2008, before the market crash, I worked for an elite construction company that built homes for the extremely wealthy. Philanthropy was common in the community; those who gave the best tips and bonuses received exceptional service from our crew. Believe it or not, giving back goes a long way.:grin::+1:

I argue less of that. Most of us are young and don’t aspire for that. I argue just put that in Lineage Mandate an entire subliminal dedicated towards it. Makes zero sense having it in a wealth sub.

I’d aruge make a HOM without Lineage Mandate just like SB No Fame

#175

I second more Lineage components.
HoM is a sub for building a legacy, which is why there is a strong family component. The copy explains it clearly. If that’s not what you’re aspiring to because you’re young then maybe that’s not the right sub for you.

Last night, a thought struck me: if Nouveau RICH embodies the spirit of new money, then it would be fitting to call HOM the House of Nouveau—a place where the old gracefully intersects with the new, and vice versa. What does everyone think :thinking:?

I gotta say, the branding of Nouveau RICH truly shines!

Holy Moly! Just downloaded HOM and it seems like I’m on the fast track to $50k a week, who needs a day job? :laughing:
